Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Another Pom]

Jake Wardle (Huddersfield) or Harry Newman (Leeds) are the 2 that I would like to see move over too the NRL/Wests.

I can't see it being Newman though as he suffered a leg break a couple of weeks back.

It will be out soon enough, Daine Laurie from the Panthers signing from 2022.

how good. any chance of getting him for 2021?

Always a chance, on very little at Panthers next year & they want to clear space & $$ to retain others

That's huge! He's a really highly rated fullback/five-eighth.

A north coast NSW Illuka junior. I found this short clip.

43 seconds..I'm sold

how about 5 minutes

Again, not knocking the kid, but that video is 5 years old from playing matts. Largely irrelevant. Gus' comments on him are positive though

Has Gus said anything recently? Was talking him up majorly early in the year I think


Diane Laurie is related to Cody Walker. Those clips highlight his ability to out players into space.

Gus knows these Penrith boys and has a good eye for talent. Good to see he rates him

Plus gus is also full of it

All the gossip in the Shire and their Forum, its seems the gummy sharks are losing their very talented half, Brayden Trindall. I like him a lot, clever, good defence, good pace. I'm not sure of his destination. He is a Qlder.

I wouldn’t get my hopes up about any outside backs from Pommy land. They don’t do well over here. It’s their forwards you want.


Andy Currier waves hello

Gary Schofield was easily the best Pommie back to come to Australia

Yes but they were all here about a thousand years ago! Modern day it’s the forwards who are the real gems in the ESL.

I think Ryan Hall would have done well if he'd come here when he was a bit younger.

if we miss JAC maybe we pick up D Laurie and Saab from St George for 2021 ?

Don’t mind it as a plan b.priority should be to sort this stuff out with JAC and get him to sign on.His signature helps turn around player perception of the Tigers.Ultimately though until on field performance improves, we won’t be taken seriously.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I hope we have had discussions with Chricton if Easts are looking to let him go and get him with subsidy. We lost Rowdy last year, Garner hasn't kicked on and Lucy is the only guy there who walks into our second row. I'd like to see Sammy Mac in at lock. Short on quality in the second row.

funny thing with Garner is that his 2019 season was fantastic and his combo with Brooks was firing

its weird

Hopefully Blore goes good. Crichton seems more likely for 2022 if we were to sign him.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

if Cordner has to retire then East's probably are not as desperate to move on Angus Crichton

He either sticks to his agreement with us or stays at storm should be his options

If he stays at storm it shows his family really are and to his career

POM did state that Madge had spoken to Crichton to gauge if he would have any interest in joining us

Yeah I had not considered that. Maybe that's why there's not much talk on it yet.

Yeah I have missed a lot of what the POM said yesterday, will probably need to profile stalk them and go through their post history.

From Garner himself, wasn't happy about being moved to right edge. Benji likes to play late at the line which suits Lucy's game where as Garner prefers early ball or running into a hole (Which Brookes was better at providing).

He did have a conversation with Madge about it.

 

[iofthetigers]

Saab is off to Manly, if JAC falls through hopefully talks with Drinkwater or Isako will progress as both clubs have shopped them around.

It did affect his game but if he doesn’t adapt he’ll be gone. It’s a shame it worked out that way but Luc is a better player so he needs to be on his stronger side, just happens to be where Garner plays. Maybe if he’s around for next season he will go better as Benji isn’t there

To be honest I thought Luciano was better on the right, mightve been because of Benji but the defence on that side was just horrendous and needed to be changed.
