Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

haha so true qe would be like oh this is what winning feels like and having a stable team lol

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

it would be like
" oohh really nervous about this major semi against melbourne on the weekend"
vs
"Geez i hope we can beat the bulldogs who have lost 6 straight games and sit at bottom of the table"

 

[Tiger5150]

Yes to TPJ. Though, with TPJ, packer and Joey in the same team.. that's a minimum 12 weeks suspension between them ?

There would have to be a review of the no dickhead policy.

Pretty sure signing Packer was the end of that policy.

Just thinking ahead two years how boring the forum will be when we have won the comp and Me, Russ, Mike, Gnr4life, Geo, hobbo, Willow Joshcoleman all agree on selections and team members
what a nice place to be
then the debate would head to where we would play etc
i guess lets settle for making the semis first

The forum would be such a strange place if we won 90% of our games and consistently challenged for titles... I often wonder what it’s like being a storm or roosters fan ?

the tigers did win the title in 2005 and the forum did exist in another form even then.After the win,the forum was a pretty happy place.- believe it or not

Would’ve been a glorious time for the forum that’s for sure.

wonder if the dogs would look at brooks ? problem is he is only on $550k or so ?

Realistically I think there's only three clubs who'd consider Brooks. Dogs, Cows & Rorters.

Dogs are stuffed for Half options.
Morgan doesn't look his old self for the Cows.
Rorters don't seem convinced on who the long term 7 is.

Of course we'd need something in return. A Manu or Taukeiaho type of player + a rookie or yet to debut half

to be honest... I would more look forward to the feeling of being 30-0 up at half time and not thinking to myself... watch the other team comeback and win in the second half

Billy Magoulias anyone? been told he can speak to rival clubs, just looks a natural footballer. can play 6 and 13 and showed on 2 occasions in the space of a week he can own the clutch moments as well. could we sign him to play 6 after a pre-season with Madge? or am I dreaming

We'll take Sam Walker, thanks ?

Brooks would probably kill it at Easts. Stronger forward pack and being re-united with Tedesco.

Yeah. The Tak + Walker or Flanagan seems a fair exchange...
Win for both clubs

 

[hobbo1]

Would only look at a Hargreaves intimadator type to add to what is already a very solid forward pack.
Pangai would do as well.

No to Tamau.

Number 1 priority is a half who can handle pressure.

Tamau would plod here like he did at the cows ..
Gun halves are a rare breed .. but yeah

No doubt he would. At the top clubs the half only needs get the ball to the class players quickly which Brooks is great at. Where he's not great is creating something out of nothing and carrying an underperforming team which there are probably only 4 or 5 halves in the NRL that can do that.

Just on Pangai.... would we want a guy who has reportedly come out in the media, after the selfish actions he's displayed re CoVid, and said the he doesn't care what his club, the Broncos, do because they're a basket case!!

I’m not a fan of Pangai tbh, there’s just something about him that doesn’t seem right. I can’t say what it is, but something’s not right.

I think we could use Blore as out enforcer if he keeps developing in the right direction..

From what I've seen he can help. Need Musgrave up and running in the middle and Blore on the edges

No Bug stillhated Sheens and the bloke who said the spoon is heading to Campbeltown hasn’t been sighted off Knobby’s

The guys a twat. I get he's a beast, but I really don't like the bloke. Don't want him at all, Enoch probably means he'll end up with is.

Big yes from me
A lot of potential.as good as Adam Elliot,probably a fair bit cheaper
We need a Greek player
Opa!

This is an extract from the 2017 Holden Cup Team of the year.

13. Billy Magoulis (Sharks)

The Sharks captain popped an incredible 61 offloads, ran for over 3000 metres and made 846 tackles. Most impressively for a forward who uses the ball so often, he had just 10 errors to his name all season. Magoulis is expected to push for an NRL debut next season and seems poised to replace Paul Gallen as Cronulla’s lock once the skipper retires.
