Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tigers_Tigers]

To be honest I would rather not lose Corey as he gives his 100% every week. But if he is to leave I wouldn't mind seeing us sign Uate and give him another go in the nrl.


How old is Mate?. Would be older then me, and I am 36. Lol.

hes 32 pretty old but look at benji age doesnt always matter

Euan Aitken has a lot more to offer than shown recently.im a fan of his so I probably sing his praises more than most.
But he has played in a very disappointing team for the past 4 seasons.under the right coach he could take his game a lot further

He was on the cusp of NSW SOO selection at one stage. He does remind me of Rod Wishart.

Definitely.
Very powerful running style

You are right Paws - they both wore footy boots. Lol

As I recall, Wishart was shifted to the wing because he wouldn't pass the ball. Aitken is similar?

 

[Russell]

From my recollection, Wishart was a very good winger - played for Australia seventeen times and 22 State of Origins. Not bad for someone who couldn't pass.

Let me know when Euan Aitken chalks up the same and I will concede he is similar.

He was a very good winger and prior to that a centre. Comparisons were made to the Chook for obvious reasons. His coach had foresight, does Aitken's?

And best of all, both are local South Coast products.

No. he does not.

Aitken is not in the same class as Wishart either.

If Aitken hasn't played SOO yet , he never will

 

[Goldust]

If Aitken hasn't played SOO yet , he never will

He’s only 24 lol

He’s only 24 lol

He could live to 103 and he will never play SOO.

That he was in the mix for selection is clearly an indication selectors believe he has the ability to take his game to another level.

Tom Turbo will have one spot sewn up because Tedesco will be fullback ....Latrell will get the other spot

Aitken can't crack 1st grade in arguably the worst back 5 (along with the Titans ) .....SOO is a long , long way away

Your right he is a long way away.i agree
I just think he has a lot more to offer ?

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Illawarra should be getting so much more from the players they have. The addition of Clune is a good move. Let's hope Mary can get them up for a win.

I am too far behind in this thread, where did the Thompson to Titans rumour come from? Was it reported?

If he is leaving I imagine it means we have someone in mind, whether it be a promotion or another signing.

I did say that by the end of his contract Corey would not be playing first grade and it would show that we have become a stronger team on paper.

Well that all depends on who is in front of him and who is injured or un-available at the time

Whishart was a great player and kicker from memory but who was his main rival for his spot
ET ?

It was reported by Danny Weidler possibly happening by the end of this week. Nothing else has been said about it since then
