Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JC99]

Widdop makes a lot of sense. Knowing our luck he’ll get another long term injury as soon as he joins.

 

[happy_tiger]

Wait why is Proctor too old and Widdop is not?

Proctor , Tamou and Hetherington on Pristiq thanks

I'd take Woods back and even **make him captain**. I'm confident he could cover the 30m that Packer contributed last night.

Bro what you smoking, can I have some of that? If you thought Moses "Mute" Mbye was a bad captain, oh boy, Sharon is another kettle of fish. Everything seems good until you find out he is trying to shop himself along with the club's best players to other clubs.

I don't really care what supposedly happened a few years ago. He's miles ahead of any forwards we got our anyone capable of being a captain. Not that he's the answer but thats how crap we are right now.

I hope next time we play Cronulla Russell lays Woods out too.

I’d pay good money to see that.

Not a signing rumour but just watched Christian Welsh on 360. Wow! What a refreshing interview. Intelligent, articulate, funny and interesting. So different from the usual dribble.

Oh, he’s off contract and would be worth looking at.

Just joined the forum after following with interest for some time.
Hi to all my fellow Tigers supporters, whether you are originally a Balmain tragic or Western Suburbs, the common denominator is that we now follow the same team. Realistically speaking this year is a lost opportunity yet again to make the top 8. We must recruit sensibly, Cleary was a massive disappointment and left us with massive issues. I would be targeting Seizer, Elliott and Hetherington. Together with our young fellows gaining more experience next year we should be far more competitive in 2021 after which we can off load certain overpaid and underperforming players who came on board during the tragic Cleary period.

Welcome to the forum!! I like your targets.

Yeah I like him a lot, not afraid of having a differing opinion either.

He was off contract last year everyone was afraid to sign due to acl injuries so he took up option with storm

Proctor is a backwards step and not what we need. Hopefully he stays on the GC. Welch would be handy for sure and Widdop provides a bit of leadership and decent goalkicking which we need.

He’s a smart bloke, does a heap of charity work even outside the club, really cares about the fans, just an all round really good bloke.

Added benefit of being a good player too! Ticks all the boxes for on field and off field. Hope Madge was watching!

I’m Pretty sure he was close to going to the bulldogs until he got injured. They’ll probably have a crack at him again

 

[JC99]

Buzz Rothfield reporting that Cowboys are favourites for Johnston - and that ‘an NRL club’ are targeting Folau for next season.

Surely we are after JAC. We don’t even seem interested in other outside backs at the moment.

Do you rate him as a player? I really believe in the no d-head policy. Get good men who are good players. Helps when the wheels fall off.

I'd love us to sign him, he is a good player. I only thing is him continuing at the same level outside the Storm system.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

christian Welsch is a good pick up if we could get him.
If Johnston goes to cowboys far out...
Would take israel for sure he would be great at fullback just what we need a real game changer for us.
would love to see
1. Israel Folau
2. Nofo
3. Joey L
4. AD
5. Talau
6. Widdop
7 Brooks

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

That’s our eternal problem- getting blokes to perform under the Tigers system.

It was Parra, they pulled out when he did his ACL

This is speed. Surely he'll have offers on the table now, hope we're one.

I used to want big name signings but given our history we should stay well clear. We can’t recruit long term success we have to develop our own players that want to be Tigers.

Our track record with no names is very good Luciano, Matterson, Korobiete, Josh Addo Carr, Blake Austin, Twal, Aloai. They just have to be Madge players strong, athletic and aggressive.

It’s obvious Madge has had enough he’s burning anyone that can’t go with him. They will be replaced.
