Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jrtiger]

what we do have that all the other teams do not, is money in the cap right now to give TPJ an out from Brisbane in 2021. throw in the fact that we sent him a formal offer weeks ago and the terms have been agreed, should put us at the front of the queue.

if he wants to head to another club then fair play, but he's already been sold the WT dream and actually has a contract in front of him. I'd say its more likely than unlikely that he heads to Concord.

Interesting comments about TPJ. At his best he would walk into any side in the competition including the Storm and Panthers.

He has had some on and off field indiscretions and that is a concern but I think the off field stuff comes from living in the fishbowl that is Brisbane. Sydney will give him a bit of anonymity and that could work in his favour.

From a footy point of view, he is playiing in a broken team and really can’t show his best until they fix the halves issue. I have watched him a bit this season, and thought for the most part that he has tried but has been used as a bit of a battering ram as opposed to an Edge runner. I think he will do much better away from the middle.

Still only relatively young, we have seen his upside, plenty of skill with ball in hand, would not be overly expensive yet with plenty of experience. It’s a yes from me

This Signing could be the big one. A lot of our current block plays don't come off because garner although good doesn't attract defenders. Pangai would suck in at least 2 and create overlaps for Laurie to exploit. Not to mention both big luch and pangai doubling up down a middle play and barging over the line

Absolutely stoked. That forward pack suddenly looks intimidating

Why are you stoked at this stage? have we even made a play for him?

They did not fly up to Brisvagas a couple of weeks ago to check out the scenery. They have made a play, but I think there will be a few more teams interested now and we have a crapy record at auctions. The Chooks if they want him would be red hot favourites and don’t rule out the Sharks, Flopper Fitzgibbon comes from the school, where you don’t build a side….you buy it

Agree... I am not confident at all and we all know how this end....
Headline will be - Tigers miss out again on main target....

Joffa will work hard to bring him here

also to get in early if we do not sign him then we have missed out on him he has gone elsewhere he has a better offer. We have made a play if he signs elsewhere and we get wind and withdraw our offer it still means he has rejected us
Some on here seem to think you can pull an offer off the table and it means we never wanted him etc

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 you sure of this.....hmmm

@CCTW what's the chance that the Roosters snatch him from our grasp?

The people cried: sign a marque!
Now we have a chance to sign one of the best young props in the NRL, and some go "Nah", but remember we did not sign Fatrell and JAC? Please explain:thinking_face:

I'd be happy with TPJ. I think he has it in him to be even more destructive than Kikau on an edge and he's mobile enough that he shouldn't be a defensive liability out there (provided we can get him staying focused throughout the game).

He's not just potential either, he has been one of the dominant forwards in the game at various points over the last few years. His ceiling is known, it is high and he has not been performing all that far from it at times this year. If the staff can get him to perform at that level consistently then we'll have the game breaker we need in the forwards. Worth a shot.

Another crusher last night on report. Probs a week or two there.

All he needs is the same lawyer that Munster uses to get him off two kicking charges in 3 days .. !! Shakes head in disbelief .. !!

This is probably why our 3 amigos went up there in the first place?

Our team has been crying out for second phase play for years. TPJ brings exactly that - makes 7 or so offloads a game! Also brings a reputable name to the list (I know lack of marquee signings are everyone's favourite topic here)

Broncos are currently using him as a battling ram, if we play him the same way we do with LL, early ball let him choose to run or pass he can become a massive weapon for us. Has the skills and size to do both.

11 Luciano Leilua
12 Tavita Pangai Jr
13 Ofahengaue

That's some serious strike, add in Blore, Stefano, Seyfarth, Amone. Mix it up with the no frills players like Twal and Tamou and thats a very well rounded pack.

Kodi Nikorima wants to stay in Aust and not return to NZ for next season due his partner being home sick for Aust .. :thinking_face:

Hmmm .. thoughts .. ??

 

[ConePuncher]

whether or not you think TPJ will improve our team, his signing will definitely increase our chances of signing good players in the future. he's a marquee player and has been for a few years. in terms of talent attraction I see this as a win for the future.

Warriors are weighing up options to re-sign their halves.
CHT indefinite, imo they should be targeting Widdop as a replacement who would be a good mentor for o'sullivan and experience.
