Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The Pearce rumour is a strange one.

Isn't he one of the guys that hated Hastings when they played together too?

I don't think it'll happen.

I certainly hope it won’t. He won’t advance the recruitment. It would be a meh signing if it ever happened.

Yep agree.
Once upon a time maybe, but now? Nup

No chance of it happening.

From the limited info I have and from what I've heard from mates who are huge Newie fans, it was someone from within Pearce's camp whether his manager or on behalf of that contacted the Tigers, not the other way round. Tigers obviously listened to what they had to say however I doubt it was anything more than out of courtesy.

 

[Spartan117]

we still need a speedy centre to partner Giddart

JTJet.

Im still hoping he comes good.

Sounds realistic eh...
Shopping himself.

Their halves aren't that impressive though, Pearce aside. Surely he is a first choice for that team..

But then there's rumours the players all hate him too cos the chick he was chasing was Lachlan Fitzgibbons best mates girlfriend and is also friends with a lot of the other younger knights lads.

Definitely something going on there but I think super league would be best for him.

I think Pearce ends up a Shark. makes sense considering the Fitzgibbon link and an availability there. doubt he comes here and to be quite honest, I'm happy with that. I'm from the Magpies side of the JV but he still dogged our club when he would've certainly grown up supporting us.

The Dogs are trying to land Waerea-Hargreaves for next season. Come Nov 1 they will also be targeting Junior Paulo for 2023

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Gareth Widdop is looking at a return. Raiders are reportedly interested to replace Williams from 2022 onwards. Warriors the other in the loop.

No chance. It’ll be Moylan on the outer if they get Pearce

Hynes was told he would be 6, hence Johnson tapped on the shoulder and Kennedy re-signed

Better.
They've (commentators) been saying Moylan is going to be retained to play in the halves.

He sucks.

Probably the only thing Moylan is good at

Cowboys have pinched giant young winger Laitia Moceidreke from Bulldogs - effective immediately.
Laitia Moceidreke - a bullocking left winger who was impressive in the Jersey Flegg Cup for the Bulldogs this season, will make the big move north in the coming days. He's promoted to top 30.

I really cannot stand the eels there all so arrogant looking forward to them getting knocked out of the semis by either storm or panthers or even manly

Joys of a winning team

If we got the leg up like Eels and South get most game we would be in the 8 as well.
With the way the game is going these days it is a massive help and easy for the refs to disguise it. The 6 again rule needs to go in my eyes.

i'd be interested to see how many for and against 6 agains the tigers have had compared to other teams
surely we must be on the lower end of the receiving end for them

Its not so much how many '6-Agains' that you get, its when in the tackle count that you get them. The majority of Parramatta's were on Tackle 3 or 4 whereas the Tigers were getting them on Tackle 1.

TBH i turned off at half time, i knew the outcome and already have enough anger pent up and didn't need the extra load

i have noticed the tigers (refs) are terrible at when they give them away

You turned the game off at a 14-6 half time score ?

Considering how lop sided the ref was in the 1 half, it was to our credit we were only down by 8. You couldn’t have possibly known we’d have a player sent off in the first 5 minutes and concede 3 tries in 10 minutes following

I felt pretty optimistic about our chances after the Liddle try.

A stack of possession sway our way and we were right in the ball game. Unfortunately we probably seen even less ball in the 2nd half compared to the 1st

Pretty fed up with being caned by the refs nearly every week actually. It just ruins any possible enjoyment I could get watching my team play. I really detest bias and unfairness more than anything else, whether it be in sport, politics or in life in general.

There is always a very high chance that we will be on the wrong end of the ledger in every game and we end up having to fight even harder to try an eek out a win. We are not that strong a team, we are average and we need some things to go in our favour sometimes to even have a chance. It must be demoralising for the team to be penalised out of the game 9 times out of 10. I know it demoralises me, I just can’t watch it anymore.

Felt the Blore sin bin was real soft. A penalty probably fair but a sin bin was overkill and was the start of the 3 tries in 10mins slide. The try scored when Laurie was taken mid air was rough too. I get he'd already knocked the ball forward while mid air however the defender still took the man in the air resulting in him hitting the ground hard and having to go off for a HIA.

The 6 agains and penalties were also stacked heavily in Eels favour (9 - 4 Penalties and 8 - 5 ruck infringements). Having said all that it was likely the 14 errors, 46 - 20 missed tackles and 28 -14 ineffective tackles that ultimately cost us the game. Majority of our matches that we've lost our ineffective tackle count would be through the roof. I've never seen a team attempt so many lazy snatch and grab type tackles. The amount of times defenders are left clutching thin air or failing to wrap up the ball amazes me every week.

His old man Bubba was a thing of Beauty when in full flight, I doubt the sharks let go of him and we’ve got Laurie they are both equally good prospects.

 

[JC99]

Don't know why sharks are dumping Johnson, he's a better halfback than anyone they'll sign.
