Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WT2K]

Is it possible to sign a complete new team?

Not sure but looks like we'll find out via the broncos attempt to do so

 

[Ultimate Warrior]

When was anything about the Tigers Festivus?

They could certainly use an airing of grievances

and feats of strength

Not really sure that feats of strength would be their strong point

we have Art Vanderlay as our defensive coach

We just need a rich American industrialist to bank roll us like H.E Pennypacker.

I’m kinda glad we got smoked at least we know we will turn up next week and where more likely to beat south’s then Melbourne

He's too busy building roller coasters

This is a snipet from foxsports

Pangai Jr is a great talent but if you want to set a standard of defensive resolve, toughness, character, Dale Finucane fits that mould perfectly.

Don't get me wrong, I want TPJ, but I can't believe there are members on this forum who don't like the idea of signing Finucane. I just wish we offered more for him when he left the dogs.

Just for clarification...

It was Ennis, Braith and Cronk saying that/making those suggestions.

Not anyone from our club.

Maybe Cal Varnson can assist?

We need them both
Plus a couple more

If Klemmer is genuinely on the way out of Newcastle and we don't have a crack at him I'd be furious. He's in no way over the hill. He averages 170m a game and tackles at 98% efficiency. He's still one of the best props in the game.

Why did we sign Tamou? Might as well have kept Eisenhuth cause he's doing the exact same job for Penrith on half the money.

I heard from his mouth he is off to Queensland.
Sound likes a deal is done.

He wasn't talking directly to me but I heard it all.
I doubt he's an option.

I did hear this about a week ago, to Bronco's, there might be a bit of movement now, with a 2 week break, a few players might be playing for different clubs next round

Makes sense with TPJ leaving.
Can't see him signing with NQ or GC.
Expect some news to break within coming weeks, days even.

Mate if TPJ has signed the news will be released in a flash. They need something to divert attention from our team and recent performances.
If they miss there is going to be plenty of gloom around Concord

My one issue with the finucane stuff is would he co.e here. Would he be good for us? Of course but everyone just assumes he would come.

Thats my issue with some.of the arguments on here. The truth is any decent player I'd going to help us we don't have enough of them at present. But they have to want ot come here and I doubt they will unless they are over paid.

 

[Sabre]

I don't get all this talk from the media that we should be signing Finucane instead of TPJ.
It's not that simple. Who's to say we didn't talk to Finucane and make him an offer? It sounds like he doesn't want to leave Melbourne and we would probably have to pay huge overs to get him here.

Yeah, Cronk was harping on about signing Finucane like it was a simple as that. Just goes to show the mentality of players that have come from systems like the storm and roosters. They want a player, you just sign them.

So true, Tamou looked good playing for Penrith, now he is bog average

Know this is totally pointless but one can only dream.
My current wishlist includes Brandon Smith, Dale Finucane and Isaac Liu. Am also a fan of Connor Watson...could probably name a quarter of the NRL at this point in time 😂

100% agree with you Lauren..
You add Smith and Finucane and we instantly change to a top 8 team.. It is worth the money especially if Packer and maybe Mbye leaving.. Similar money.

Add those players and there is little change on the ladder. Our problems run deeper than that
