Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Momo probably doesnt replace Mmbye as a centre
but perhaps Mmbye to 6 next year if we dont get Burton from Penrith then Momo to centre

Disagree myself, Momo is a much better centre than Mbye imo.

However you are entitled to yours.

imo Mbye is better in every way, including goal kicking. just my opinion though.

Well then iyo we should let Momo go.

Personally would have no issue with it. He’s a solid player but way overhyped by tigers fans, isn’t even getting a look in at Melbourne.

All depends on what happens with Mbye/if we sign another centre, then they’ll know whether to let him go.

He’s already said he signed on another year with Tigers anyway after this loan deal.

Without a doubt he is the No.1 Winger in the Comp at the moment!

he's playing well but come on, he's nowhere near the best winger in the comp. Ferguson, Sivo, B Morris, JAC, Vunivalu, Rob Jennings, Tupou, Cotric all better (just off the top of my head).

No bite Avo.

I like how he snuck it in there though. I totally thought it was Michael Jennings and skipped over him.

A few weeks ago you would not have bought AD, so at least you are consistent Avo.

What are you smoking? I was one of the people most vocal about signing him. Go back and check my posts. I’ve never made one negative comment about AD. You are fake news.

Munster

just getting back on track..

In terms of good young wingers, Brian To'o would be my pick, shame the pamfers have locked him down for the next few years.

He is a true footballer and specialist centre. Give him the ball with a bit of space within the opposition quarter he can conjure up a try when many can't. He makes good ground when running the ball out due to his height and gait. He could work on his goalkicking to make himself a mandatory selection at right centre. A fast winger outside of him to complement his elusiveness would be outstanding.

I'd take him back in a heart beat ...that's how concerned I am ...but he'd never play under Madge

We need someone ...anyone ...Packer will get picked next week out of pure necessity

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

id take woods back for sure he would be great for us as a leader of our pack (not captain though)

Magde should him captain ..every time he says "it is what it is " Madge clips him behind the ear

I don’t see us making any major moves this year apart from Harry Grant if Smith signs on. We have cap space at the end of next year with Reynolds and Packer coming off and 2022 Mbye comes off. We need 2-3 key signings and more young talented players.

We get the $340k odd second year of the Farah fine back for next season, which pays for an average player or tops up the wages for a really good one.

That’s a bonus. ET was upgraded by Cleary say 400k, McQueen 350k, Jennings 300k, Clark/Marshall/Smith/Lawrence/McIntyre say 500k. Eisenhuth was upgraded say 250k and Thompson 250k. If I’m anywhere close to the numbers that’s 2.390m to fill 10 positions.
Stefano was reportedly 350k which brings us to 2.040m to fill 9 spots. Assuming 5 are minimum contracts or upgrades we would be left with 4 positions and circa 1.5m in cap space.

Harry Grant if available will take up 500k of that which, would mean 3 players at 1m or 333k each.
Used wisely we should be able to get a veteran and 2 solid NRL starters next year.

The key still is offloading big contracts of Packer, Reynolds, Mbye as their salaries could buy 5 solid first graders or 2-3 Origin players.

I don't know - he still slows Cronulla attack down - instead of going to the ground and looking for a quick play the ball he still lumbers along with 3 players holding him up while their defence gets set. His play the ball speed would have to be the slowest in the league. Big no from me.

He’s been dreadful since sheens left.

Yeah he sold his soul when he left us and has never looked the same player since. Doesn't play with passion any more. Pass.

Talk about a player that’s regressed.

Yes, I agree about Momo's footy nous. Same with AD. I'd like to see us start to load up with smart young footballers who can take us forward over the next few seasons. All the players don't have to be genius but having a some with really good smarts as well as talent goes a long way.
