Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I think TPJ is just the type of player we need aggressive bends the line offloads, think he’ll form a formidable back row with LL. Wonder if Joffa put in a few good words for us, also begs the question where does this possibly leave Garner? Was already thinking about the exit door this year to Manly was he not.

A guy with “inside knowledge” on Twitter a couple of weeks ago when we first had talks said that yes, Joffa was an influence but also that our Flegg are doing well so signs of future success.

ah yes, the insideman. Wests Tigers Forum's most infamous enigma

If Madge thinks Tpj is what we need than he is more dillusional than I thought. The guy is a myth. He is ill disciplined ,lazy and goes missing when counted on. We need guys that work hard with effort on effort 100% of the time. Players like Seyfarth even though he is still a work in progress. What is the fascination with bone heads and Madge. I hope this is just paper talk.


Disagree totally. Tigers have always had reliable workers and it has got us nowhere. Players like Twal, Tamou, Seyfarth, Ava, Suaso Sue, Garner, Woods, etc etc etc. We have always needed and still need an impact forward and TPJ definitely has that potential, as does IMO Stef, Mikaele and maybe Amone. Good pack has a combination.

All those guys with the exception of Woods in his prime ***are just role players.*** If we’re signing TPJ as our pack leader I’m afraid it’s another poor decision. The fact he’s already likely suspended for a crusher should be a pretty good indicator.

You hit the nail on the head. ALL of our pack, now and historically could be described as "role players". TPJ is not being signed as a pack leader. He is being signed to hit an edge hard, rip and tear and get an offload away, He is a potential impact second rower that can do damage that we have not had before or since Ellis.

Add Finucane too and I’d be all for it.

For mine, we have enough workers and we dont want any more old blokes...

Inside man is saying the Roosters are in the mix. I’m not getting my hopes up until it’s announced on the WT website. Now Boyd has retired, where would you sign Roosters “we play for premierships” or us “ we play for 9th”

Between Tigers and Chooks for TPJ. Tigers slight faves as they are offering more $$$. InsideMan NRL tweet

Did I hear he is being mentored by sbw? Now I've heard the roosters are in the mix I'm worried

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Can’t for the life of me fathom why some thinks this is a bad move. He has been in good form of late.

He is an instant uplift on our backrow. He also becomes a creative player we have been crying out for years.

Brooks, Laurie and Liddle running off him will create nightmares for our opponents. He starts after the bye and our end to the season could be a real positive one (we have a good draw to end on).

If this comes off I will be actually excited for once about one of our recruits.

Oh just great! Who you think he’s gonna choose now? I think the forum has gone off too early.

Can we trade Finucane for MCK while we're at it

How about MCK, Mbye, and Parker for any of the following:
1) Murray,
2) A Crichton
3) Graham?

 

[JC99]

Would be good to have him so we could rotate Garner/Luc a bit more. He and Blore can both play an edge or in the middle so you can move them between the two if needed to keep everyone fresher

Bwaith doesn’t sound happy with it. Even better.

What about Ennis crediting Sheens...lol

What you think it’s a coincidence

yes - the deal was probably done when they went up to Brisvegas. Sheens was nowhere in sight. It was most likely identified and worked on for weeks before that.

If that’s true and the Roosters want him a paper bag here and there and that will be that.

I'm just happy that the Tigers set a target to sign TPJ, enquired, sowed the seed by saying 'If you become available, we're interested' and then sat back allowing the player/manager to agitate for a release.

Says we're no longer the whipping boys of the comp.

Brisbane CEO said us possibly next week

Until the cocks swoop in and steal him from under our noses 😂

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

Tevitas management has agreed to the figure discussed. Agreement between clubs needs to be struck and contract needs to be signed once formally released. Billy likely to head the other way.

Are the Roosters in the mix ?

 

[isaaktigers]

If roosters get Pangai I’ll be spewing…

Yeah interesting timing

We have real issues in defence and his current team gets lapped by 50 every other week.
