Issako would not get the FB position ahead of Laurie in my team. Laurie in his short time in FG has already demonstrated the bravery and confidence required to be FB. Issako on the other hand is heart in mouth stuff every time the ball is the air and or at the last line of defence. He can run but not sold on any other part of his game and am surprised that he has been approached.

We do need a quick winger?

Still got to be able to catch bombs.

The last few months at fullback will have done him wonders then.

Shut up and take my money.

Don’t shoot me but I also heard Hass was part on the reason they boarded the plane.

On another note people saying why not Hynes. How do you know he is not being chased by us. We have plenty of cap space
TPJ
Issako
Hass
Hynes

Easily will fit. The next few weeks will be very interesting!!

Not that interested in Hynes, no pace, want the Isaako type player, sorry i loved "the black flash"

We already have a couple of Black Flashs’ parked in our own backyard - Fitzgibbon and Gebbe

Low expectations.
Not sure he's a walk up starter or even good enough...
See how he goes in cup

Yeh - not sold. Too many errors and not surprised that Hynes has become a target for the Bronco's.

Hynes is a gun.
He wants to start and be a part of a spine.
Which he can't be at Melbourne.

As you're aware Isaako isn't a first string #1
Where as Hynes would be.

That's why he's a target.

Furthermore, we're not Signing him for fullback.

Their loss is our gain in a position we need to strengthen.

Shows me that the Tigers leadership are bith ambitious and realistic.

Both TPJ qnd Issako would be great under Madge.

Smart words from a smart man.
Take a knee, @BAGNF05

Haha all praise the mighty club running 13th and heading south

I think we're on the up


With Laurie and Douihei playing amazingly.
Just need a few more pieces of the puzzle to fall into place.

We've been saying for ages we need some backs and a classy second rower.

Looks like we're getting it done.

Only thing going south is your attitude

I know we've all supported the tigers for so long and we get our hopes up just to deal with the heart break...

But be hopeful mate
Or walk away from the sport, as a fan.
Sounds like its bringing ya down anyway.
Do what's right for your health.
Go watch some romance movies on a Friday night and burn ya jerseys.

Yep got Laurie and Doueihi right. Only 28 more to go. I’ll support the team how I see fit.

Ha .... great whinge .... now time for bed byes. Sleep tight!

As long as there is competition for the spot. Likely Gildart, Kepaoa, Talau and BJ or JTJ

He is just one of those players for me that is going to make the crucial error and put pressure on your team - seen it happen too many times at the Bronco's. Anyway out of my control and if we do sign him happy to be proved wrong.
 
Would love an update on the situation with Gebbie? Injured, out of form, lazy, homesick? I think he has the talent to make the NRL fulltime with a bit of hard work.

I don't think any of these guys are that good.
Hoping we can lose a few of em and recruit some worthy upgrades.

TPJ missed 6 tackles last week, Broncs concede 50 points most weeks, he’ll fit right in.

There have been weeks this year where is has been brilliant and one week he was the best player in the comp.

He may always be inconsistent and too emotional but some players do mature or click with a coach. Any signing is a risk but TPJ could be an absolute star.

Building for Cups in COE
 
Issako would be huge, solve the winger shortage we have thats for sure & has speed to burn.

If Mbye leaves just hope AD learns to spread the ball early. JTJ/Issako combo need the ball very early with space to maximize the speed & skills
