Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[The_Patriot]

Had a brief chat this afternoon with tigers management in regards to what is the position on the 30th slot. Basically they don’t have a specific need to address now. Seem content with the current squad and won’t be forcing anything. The theme of the conversation was if the right fit becomes available the will go hard to secure them.

That makes sense to me. I think is squad is fairly well balanced. Unlike some others who are worrying about it i have no issues with the forwards. If anything we might need another edge forward to work with Leilua but with options like the improving Garner we are ok. Also the lock position while it looks like we need someone can easily be covered by a guy like Twal or one of the young guys like Seiforth stepping up.

We are in good shape, no use signing someone for the sake of it.

What do people think of bring Duggan to the tigers, but only if the sharks pay at least 1/2 of his current salary . He can cover , wing , center , fullback, he is injury pron but he can also be a match winner, would be a good buy if we got him cheap me thinks.

Sorry bptiger but definitely your worst post

And I mean that in the nicest possible way

He wouldn't come here for what I'd be willing to pay

It would actually cost him money wouldn't it?

Didn't someone just say Dugan's body is shot? Pass for me

CH9 - after shopping him around and obviously finding no takers for his $900k contract, Cronulla believe his knees are shot and he has a bad attitude. Shaun Johnson rebutted the bad attitude excuse now saying that Dugan participated really well in their training camp. Must be hugely embarrassing for the Sharks.

Couldn't be funnier that the Sharks pulled a salary-cap swifty to get Shaun Johnson on their books and he has been a massive grogan for them so far. What an expensive mistake!

No worse than Reynolds

Might change if Reynolds gets canned by nrl

Very tight lipped around concord with that. Can’t get a vibe on their position. I find it hard to believe that he won’t be stood down, but I think nrl and tigers have chosen Head in Sand with it

You can’t take Dugan unless 60% of his wage is covered for 2020. Too much risk. Sharks will try and medically retire him.

They can’t just medically retire him because they don’t want him and neither does anyone else.

The Sharks knew they would be over the cap when they signed Ramien but did so anyway thinkin they could offload who ever they wanted , hope they suffer

It will only take 1 phone call from Scotty from Marketing to Turdberg and he will be miraculously medically retired.God moves in mysterious ways

Other clubs would take Dugan just not for the salary he is on at the moment.

If he is medically retired he can’t play again, he needs to agree with it - doubt that will happen this year.

It's before court so there's not a lot they can, or would say.

All I know is they’re attempting to get the court date pushed forward at the moment. Will be interesting to see how much cap compensation we get and what we do with it if we are stood down.

There won’t be anyone to sign anyone most likely, dragons couldn’t come close to replacing De Belin

NRL approved it though. On what basis, I have no idea.

From SSTID2036 off the Warren

Tigers offered Souths packer Eisenhuth and Elijah Taylor & we said no to all 3

pretty much confirms we're looking to move Eisenhuth and Taylor on at the end of the year when they come off contract. would like to see us throw Taylor's money at a decent 13, I think Seyfarth will end up in the front row.

A souff's numpty says something on the warren and that comfirms this...

wow..

A lot of those numpty's have been pretty accurate this offseason. Said AJ was going nowhere, said LM was a done deal (when we were still thinking he'd come here) and said AD was coming here when everyone was saying Roosters... there are some people on there that have seriously good oil..

BY that logic a lot of people on here were just as correct.

Leave the Sharks with Dugan , lets pick off someone they don't want to lose

This is a shark worth $900,000 a year
Fit, Fast, Mean and someone that will beat you every time
And then you have Dugong (Dugan)
Over weight, Slow and easily beaten
$90,000

Career prospects x football don’t look great, guess he would be against a medical retirement. Probably be playing for the Queanbeyan Wombats when he is 45, got to earn a bob to pay for the ink and plonk
