Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[finnzo]

Does any 1 els just proof read through this thread to find rumours about who we have signed? Haha

 

[Deleted member 3518]

Didn’t someone on here say Farnsworth was an actual target ?

 

[Russell]

We let Matterson go and i am sure Parra are in the ear of Stefano and i expect a backflip to come so why cant we get in Grant's ear, Momo i dont worry so much as we have Tommy "second coming " Talau who everyone seems to rate so he should be able to tske Mmbye's spot if he has to.
We are naive if we dont think that talking to players to backflip doesnt happen... look at Teddy and the Raiders

I gotta say that attitude is poor. Justifying low character decisions because other low characters do it too. There’s a way to do it and a way not to . Enticing a player to backflip whilst you’re conducting a revolutionary loan deal , is definitely not the way. But hey , when it happens to us again I’m sure all you guys will scream bloody murder. The hypocrisy is real.

I'm sure when Grant goes back to Melbourne or another club grab him (because we didn't try to keep him) and he turns out to be a real superstar.

Everyone will be saying "Good on the Tigers, that had principals, haven't got a decent DH but they did what was right by the NRL."

Bad luck the NRL never do the right thing by the Tigers.

Wake up mate - this is war!

And that’s fine. But don’t have a whinge the next time we’re on the receiving end.

Why not.....everyone else does.

Cos it would make you a hypocrite?

And then what happens,,?
How can you be outraged about something when it happens to you but do the exact same behaviour?

Because we're human, we're self-interested and this is sport we're talking about. Take your logic elsewhere...

whatever ! You’re all a pack of whinging , entitled morons and I will make sure to call you that when it inevitably happens again. When you chose to act unethically in a closed environment of 15 other businesses ,who you’re all partners with in the growth of the game , how is that even sustainable . Especially when the introduction of loans and trades could be on the horizon. NRL fans do my head in at times

Don't lose the plot chief! Crikey.
If Grant chooses to leave Storm if Smith plays on next year... HE IS UP FOR GRABS BY ANY CLUB. Why can't you realise this?
I don't really see anyone here calling for Grant to break any contract.

Urgh ! That’s exactly what many of you said . And you were one of them .And I literally said what you’re saying now . My point is proven right here. Twist the narrative to suit whatever the agenda is at any given point . Like I said , NRL supporters do my head in

Yep, you're exactly the right amount of upset about this mate?

I’m not upset at all . It Just does my head in , how hypocritical NRL supporters are. There’s zero nuance and give and take on anything . “This is war” is a ridiculous outlook. And it is the number 1 reason NRL or RL hasn’t pushed into other states, brought in trades, expanded the international game , and so on and on. “It’s a tribal game “ is crap. It’s an excuse to be a self interested , short sighted moron . I’ve said this before , if we want grant we should have to pay for him a transfer fee , upon his loan expiry. It works overseas.

I'll tell you what - this is an open Forum.

To try and ridicule people and call them names, such as (“This is war” is a ridiculous outlook.) and ("to be a self interested , short sighted moron"), is not on.

Everybody does not have to agree with your opinion, whether you have said it before or not. You are going "over the top" in expecting everyone to share your opinion. I don't, but mine is just as valid as yours.

I don’t need you too , in fact , Gunner and I are the only ones on here not agreeing with you . and you don’t like it. That opinion is ridiculous , and I even stated why I think it’s ridiculous. It’s short sighted and a generic rugby league opinion . It’s nothing new. And it’s a frustrating thing to hear all the time , when the outrage on here in October last year was through the roof . If you don’t see the hypocrisy in your feelings and the things you say . Then that’s on you . Not me.
Just because the hive mind tigers forum decides we are the good guys at all times , doesn’t mean I have to agree with it . In fact I call Bull crap to this! And I’m pointing it out .

Good on you for pointing it out.

I am sure you will not be upset if I disregard your post.

I agree with Russ.
Not sure what you are on about mate, fair dinkum you're giving yourself an anurism over nothing. Where are people calling for Grant to do a Matterson and fake mental illness etc to break his contract? There isn't any?

 

[Fade.To.Black]

What about Herbie Farnsworth ?? That kid can play . And he’s off contract this year , and will be behind Katoni Staggs and Jesse Arthars amongst others at the broncos .

Wasn't Farnsworth he Broncos goal kicker on Thursday night? He looked competent.

He’s a 75% goal kicker

We are not interested then.

We like incompetent goal kickers. It's in our DNA.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Gee it would be nice to split this topic and have a distinctly separate "Signing suggestions" and "Signing Rumors" topic.
Perhaps then some of us could focus on the part that we are more interested in.

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Momo is pretty worthless, he can’t even make it into the Storm side with first and second stringers out, so this doesn’t apply to him. But can you imagine if we sent a player down there we rated highly, say Jake Simpkin. Imagine he was killing it week after week, and then whispers began that Bellamy was actively seeking to keep him there. I can’t even describe the meltdown. People would be threatening to burn down NRL headquarters, FTB would be probably hit breaking point and finally hire a hitman to take Bellamy out. It would be uglier than a Susan Boyle nude selfie.

I've looked into it......COVID has hit hard and a hitman is outta my price range. Plus watching him lose is pretty good entertainment.
If Grant stays, good. If he goes back to Melbourne, no loss, he is a good solid player but doesn't seem to have the skills of Farah. There will be other blokes to take his place IMO.

 

[JC99]

Didn’t someone on here say Farnsworth was an actual target ?

Someone did, there was a fox sports article saying there’s like 7 clubs after him including roosters and others as well

Don't know why they bother mentioning Roosters TBH. They want to sign everyone, they should just take it as a given.

That's what I mean buddy. We like 'em around the 60% range. 75 is too high, we aim lower.

I absolutely detest anybody referring to sport as war. Hate it. It's just a throwaway line I know, but it is hugely disrespectful to men who have been in actual combat.

Mate I’m not even upset or even irritated . I brought that up not because anyone suggested it but as an example of the crap that goes on when you choose to roll like that.
Look man it definitely was said about 10 pages ago , but since then you , Balmain boy and Russell have taken over the arguement. I’m pretty sure that we are just talking past each other at this point , as the points you’ve made I agree with and the points I was making weren’t directed at all to you. So if you don’t think that way , then fine , we are in agreement . If you do , I’ve said my piece .

I’m not upset at all . It Just does my head in , how hypocritical NRL supporters are. There’s zero nuance and give and take on anything . “This is war” is a ridiculous outlook. And it is the number 1 reason NRL or RL hasn’t pushed into other states, brought in trades, expanded the international game , and so on and on. “It’s a tribal game “ is crap. It’s an excuse to be a self interested , short sighted moron . I’ve said this before , if we want grant we should have to pay for him a transfer fee , upon his loan expiry. It works overseas.

I absolutely detest anybody referring to sport as war. Hate it. It's just a throwaway line I know, but it is hugely disrespectful to men who have been in actual combat.

I agree....all that buildup fluff about being in there trenches etc......bit of perspective.....

Triple M saying Saab asked for a 2nd release and expect him to be gone next week... Fingers crossed we at lease show interest if it is granted. But I think he must have something planned because you wouldn't ask for a release unless you had something up your sleeve.

If we don’t try to sign him we are stupid. He’s meeting with dragons again next week so let’s see what happens

Technically he'd have to be released before he can negotiate with other clubs though that hasn't stopped players before

do we know what sort of contract he is on??

Do we have the space to sign him and flip jennings to the dragons and cover the difference?
