Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Why is every one saying we have no cap space . We get back $ 360,000 from the nrl . Then we have Benji , McQueen , rowdy , Taylor and a couple of lower grade players of contract . I think that we would have about $1,600,000 in cap space , if any one knows any difference please correct me .

Few mentioned would make a good pickup.

Wouldn't it be nice if it was so easy to clean out the mongs from your team.

Reports from SMH were we had around a million. With Stefano joining, having to pay more for Doueihi and Joey and some other guys probably getting small increases 1 million makes sense.

Money will probably be used for a winger and fullback it seems. No good props worth spending big money on, hopefully we get someone like Bunty Afoa or Isaiah Papali’i who are solid and
Cheap.

Pretty sure Pascoe recently said just north of $1m with 5 spots needing to be filled.

I think that's fair. I'm not too concerned about our forwards situation, with Stefano coming, and with Musgrove back in it looks better there.

This is the mentality the Tigers have to change or they may as well give up. Woods had to slave for years as a Lone Ranger. Until we have a big aggressive forward pack, I.e. more than just Aloiai up front, all our backs (especially Brooks) will continue to look average. The circus will roll on. If the Rorters were in this predicament that get a guy out of a bad contract at another club.

Dunno why the Broncs want to give Staggs, Flegler and Coates permission to speak with other clubs. I assume the entire league will be talking to them then.
 
Kotoni Staggs, Xavier Coates and Thomas Flegler have been told they can gauge offers from other teams from November.

'Guage' = test market value. That is all.

Broncs will then match whatever those offers are unless they get blown away like Fifita style offers.

We desperately need a real elite Lock... fixes our pack up in a single move, well that and getting McIntyre and Blores gas tanks up to scratch so we can give Garner the rissole... We have forwards, we need a lock.

If Twal can get a little better with his passing he’s your man, does everything else an elite lock does.
 
All out for Staggs/or Coates and JAC, ideally spending shy of $750k for the two. Then, have a serious look at Bunty, Welch or Flegler, maybe throw a chance at Proctor!

Reports are indicating that Welch will stay at Melbourne

I think that helps us anyway as lock/prop will be an easier proposition to fix during the off-season whereas real marquee quality backs are a rare commodity.

Twal is a prop, a very good one, but he is a prop.

Jake T, Brown, Taumalol, Fischer-Harris, Murray, Asofa-Solomona.... if you cannot see what those guys bring that Twal doesnt, I dont know what to say....

I would put Twal against any prop in the world, no joke, no black orange and white glasses... guy is class. But a lock he isnt... We lose in the props, and do ourselves a disservice at lock thinking he is the answer...

Yeah it seems we are going for outside backs for 2021 and more forwards in 2022. We will probably sign some depth forwards for next season but that’s it.

We need PACE badly to be competitive.
