Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So he causes all sorts turmoil at the Titans and gets the coach sacked and NOW he is leaving? Nice job Jaryd- no thanks!

Watch how fast i get banned for this but i have to say it.

Most people on here have the most unrealistic standards. Every single marquee player that comes to the market or is rumoured to come to market is not good enough for us. Moylans a brat, haynes toxic, pearce has his demons, dugans the worlds biggest alcoholic, cooper cronks no good without the other two , Te Maire Martin dogged on a team mate, the 2 morris brothers are has beens, and then obviously moses tedesco and woods are all scum.

What im getting at is that while you cant really argue against any of that, were pretty much saying if youre not Cam Smith or John Thurston then youre not good enough for the tigers.

We arent in every clubs camp seeing the ins and outs, most of us are on the couch monitoring the media, ill conceed that a few here seem to have a few good sources however. Every single players gonna have things people hate about them, even if the media arent aware and therefore havent brought it to our attention.

We NEED at least one player mentioned above. Most of us get excited over good enough players on well priced contracts. No one ever came to a tigers game to see a bunch of blokes gel really well on and off the field, perform well without being amazing and smile the whole time. They come to watch benji step a whole team, Teddy to run the width of the field before cutting through and going the length, woods to make 10m every single hit up before finding his front, tuiaki to run over an entire backline on the way to scoring.

Don't know why you would be concerned about a ban with this post, good rant, even if I was a target on a couple of the players above.

To be fair i scaled it back alot. Main point is that playing ability doesnt appear to be a priority when recruiting to most on here

Yeah I mean why didn't we sign Willie Mason!

There seems to be a consistency in all these "big player" movements, the stronger clubs become stronger and the weaker clubs lose their star players.

I'd like for us to pick up Thompson from the Dragons. His work rate and will to win is what we need.

 

[Tigerdon]

Why not just get Angus Crichton who has knocked back Souff's offer to extend his deal..

think he'll be going sharks, guys already looking at houses in cronulla

Agh crap. He was the one I really wanted

Didn't he sign with Manly 3-4 weeks ago?

Hayne set to leave the Titans and return to Sydney!
Quick Tigers act fast and sign him up as fullback before the Roosters do!
#Not joking about the Tigers signing part, think he would be a great addition under Cleary!

Would be worth a try with a carefully worded incentive contract topped up with a healthy TPA supped by one of our “at arms length” wealthy supporter…. if we have one?
Might be a goer ..... he still has something to prove.

I think that you might have to revisit the TMM comment.

There was speculation but nothing since. We should (if we already haven't), make him a good offer.

It was said on a Saints forum that it was going to be announced that he was leaving last Friday. Maybe the Cronk signing turned all that on it's head.

Ya got me ….. I agree with the lot you say.
We are too picky and too critical and too demanding.
But it is a forum where opinions are allowed to be expressed. A good moderator. And in the end it will be the Coach, the CEO and recruitment manager that have to decide.
By the way I would take any of above ... except Cronk I believe is overrated.

The Lurker somehow manages to have a strike rate of less than 0%. But if this was to be correct my money would be on Kyle Lovett.

Uh, Lovett is already gone mate. He wasn't re-signed.

I realise that 'mate'.
But if you knew what these rumours journos were like you'd know they would still describe Lovett as a 'Tigers backrower'.

Same, good player imo.

I didn't mean to sound condescending, I was just a little confused.

As to the rumour though, if there's any truth to it, I'd guess it would be Lawrence. Him and Sheens would probably still be on good terms. And anyone who signs Lovett for a first grade team has to have an I.Q. lower than Aaron Woods.

 

[tigerap]

I hear a guy by the name of Jarrod is on the market….is he any good?, or is that the guy from the Bacehlorette....

South Sydney, Penrith, and Newcastle all uninterested in Hayne.

Interesting loss for the Titans if true, as there was alot of noise he would be playing in the 6 jumper next year.

Wonder if the eels are prepared to move Norman on as a straight swap?

Wow Hayne and Moses …. both bigheads. What a combo.

A former Australian schoolboy, the 19-year-old graduate from renowned rugby nursery St Patrick’s College in Sydney bagged a vital second-half try in Lebanon’s thrilling 29-18 win over France in Canberra.

There's a stretch. Someone please tell me more than 1 decent rugby or league footballer to emerge from St Pats Strathfield.
