Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jadtiger]

I don't like the talk of Benji being shipped around. Surely the best thing for all concerned is for him to fish his career as a Tiger.

Reynolds is going well at the moment but who knows what could happen over the course of the season.

If genuine we should refuse that release every day of the week. Reynolds hasn't put together an uninjured season in a long time. I think Benji will still be needed this season.


Its genuine i have a mate that is a players agent and he does not talk BS.

All player agents would be full of BS it would be safe to say.
Benji would get a gig at 3 or 4 teams if he was really keen to get a game at another club.

Well let's see what transpires, just giving other forum members a heads up, comments like yours ensure i should not share reliable information in future.

Most people here like rumours even if they turn out to be false, but it's a losing game if you get thin-skinned if people doubt you.


Well i can state that my rumor of Fifta going to the Titans was correct and called it 23 plus days ago, so to those members that gave me a hard time, proof is in the signing. i doubt i will give any more in future from my mate a players agent in the NRL mainly because it dud not like the feedback given.

Mate if you have a rumour than post it. Surely you have a thicker skin than that. Also you’re not the only person with contacts in the NRL and you won’t be the first to get a rumour right or wrong for that matter. It’s a dynamic workplace with shifting sands and most people understand what is correct today, may not be tomorrow. Just keep the goss coming, that’s the whole purpose of this thread.


so is the purpose of the thread to also have other forum members give you crap when you have a source and share it?
I gave another rumor tonight tonight that is factual lets see what happens with that one as well. cheers.

I wasnt having a shot at you just saying i heard that a month ago,Sometimes he is right sometimes wrong.

I think Blake Green is the guy we need,has the experience and good kicking game,didn't realise he was on so much at the warriors,hopefully he would be willing to take a paycut

Tevita harris?
Lots of talent

Or you fluked one and now you’re quitting while you’re ahead ??


Good call - Ok i will give you one Rumour that relates to the Tigers see what transpires, why do you think Mybe isn't performing that well for us each week?

He is in discussions for being the New captain of the 2nd Brisbane team due to come into the Comp within the next 2/3 years. He knows he won't also get paid the $950k he is on currently when next contract expires.
Let's see if i get 2/2 then cheers Mate.

Hopefully he gets dropped for spell in the next few weeks if that’s the case.

Keep posting mate

Good god no. He is not what we need whatsoever.

 

[Goldust]

Yep.loads of talent and still young!
Could be a great signing

 

[supercoach]

We need a goal kicker and we need a organising no7, Maden can do both. By next season he should be physically up to the NRL. Playing behind what looks like a very good pack might be a good time to blood him

A sensible post,we could well have the answer in our ranks already.On the few times i have watched him he looks like the solution

I sound like a broken record but the missing piece is a controlling half

Additionally a wow factor fullback and a fast winger.


The fullback or fast winger will do very little if we dont sort out the halves.

A player capable of winning a clive churchill medal is who we need to be looking at.

I dont think that is Brooks or Walters.

Who though..most of those are tied up..

Just anyone but your mate, its time to move on.

In all seriousness though this coach can recruit so whoever he signs basically.

That's not what you said though ..you said a half that can win a Churchill medal..

Curious who you suggest as this is a suggestions thread..

If Brooks goes he goes ..players come and go all the time ..the Club is what is paramount..



Let me spell it out for you.

Brooks is not going to get any better, he is what he is. As he is he isnt a player that will ever step up in a grand final and get us home.

Coach's job now is to go and find someone who can.

Im not talking about signing someone who can do it tomorrow. As he has with all his signing he will survey the field wand recruit a player who has these attributes.

I know Dean Pay would not agree with me but I would look at Lewis from the Dogs Great defence and good gold kicker. Learning his trade at the moment but great potential.

I'm warming to this idea. Dogs are cashed up and on the hunt for a halfback. Prepared to pay overs, so lets trade Brooks for Lewis and the dogs can pay the difference.

Lewis is defensively on par, superior kicking game & he looks to be calm out there with good communication skills.

Seriously, has anyone ever dropped a Brooks bomb? It's like his intention is to make it as easy as possible for the FB to catch. Not to mention his severe low energy personality, that if he walked into a doggy day care, all the pups would go straight to sleep.

The kind of warmth you experience when you piss in your own pants.

I would agree with you, but then we'd both be flogs...

You couldn't make this stuff up.

His own coach said Lewis needed more composure and game management on Ch9. Unconvincingly he said it will come with experience .

You talking about the coach who's out of work now

Not writing 2020 off by any stretch, but with the additions of Blore, Stefano and Kepaoa, next seasons lineup has some size about it:

1 Doueihi
2 Kepaoa
3 Joey Leilua
4 Talau/ Mbye
5 Nofo
6 Reynolds
7 Brooks
8 Aloiai
9 Liddle
10 Packer
11 Leilua
12 Garner
13 Twal
14 Blore
15 Stefano
16 Mikaele
17 Musgrove

You're forgetting Eisenhuth. He's been mighty.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

No thanks, prefer Sezer by a mile.

Don't understand the love for Sezer. Ricky didn't think he could take them to a premiership and signed the Pommy half - a much better player. Sezer is average. The only thing going for him is he kicks goals.

If it was Lewis or Sezer, thats who I would take.
Hopefully it’s neither.

Hey tigerballs, do you have any updates to share in terms of inside info ?

 

[tigerballs]

Lachlan Lewis is TERRIBLE. Please watch the bulldogs last game he is hopeless. Brooks has way more ability than him.

Cade Cust would be a great signing but didn’t he extend with manly just recently?

Disagree with Lewis - put him behind a good pack.

Why do people keep mentioning Cust.

HE HAS JUST SIGNED WITH MANLY.

How sure are you about this Russ? I was told this morning we are still negotiating.

 

[Harvey]

Ryan James to the raiders on what looks like a reasonable deal.

 

[weststigers]

Good god no. He is not what we need whatsoever.

You panned me for this suggestion as well willow.

What's wrong with having a guy like Blake Green as a replacement for say Reynolds if we could get him for $200-$250k?

You wouldn't start him, but he offers you good depth given the lack of halves around.

He'd just be there to plug a hole in case of injuries.

There's no official statement from manly. Only article by the mole saying so.

So Georgalis has no currency even though he is acting coach?
