Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[happy_tiger]

Once again people are wasting a sh.t load of time thinking Tui is about to be overlooked for RTS.
RTS is not coming to the WT, firstly I doubt the Warriors would give him a release and secondly if he did get a release , he would be heading to a club with a proven track record.

The so called reason he is unhappy at present is, he thinks his form has gone backwards at the Warriors, so I really doubt he would go to another team with average track record.

As I have said a million times, we are a few years from being in a position to attract a marquee signing, we have to earn some respect in the market place…and that will take time. In the meantime we have to pick the eyes out of the rejects

Wonder how many other Warriors player will want out now that Brian Smith is the GM at the Warriors ??

Whilst disappointed with the role he played in getting rid of Potter, think Smith will be a good addition for a short term over the ditch. RTS is welcome in my WT team.

Announcement early this week for the 29th player. From Justin Pascoe Twitter account

Who what is? Pascoe sounds pretty clear that no one will be signed unless someone comes on the market.

We only have 28 confirmed signings for 2018\. According to Pascoe, we've signed 29 so an announcement is coming

I can only count 27
Packer, Matulino, Liddell, Mcilwrick, ET, McQueen, Twal, Grant, Sue, Aloai, Lawrence, Rochow, Brooks, Reynolds, Benji, Nofa, Tui, Suli, Fonua, Thompson, Eiso, MWZ, Kev, MCK, Gamble, Felise, Marsters.

Not sure if Helena or Sironen are counted but I can’t see 29.

4 development Gibbs, Smith, McIntyre, Mikalele I can think of.

Your missing Milne.

Makes sense. So 28 signed and announced and 2 to come with Pascoe confirming someone has been signed making it 29.

Really? This will be interesting. Can't imagine there's anyone too crash hot available that's not already at another club.

Im hearing bevan French has been granted permission from the eels to explore his options due to the hayne signing. The tigers are making a play! For him. He could be the announcment next week!!

Don't count on it.

Pascoe might have seen the Cordner interview and pounced.

That Wallaby who is a former ex Bulldog, NQ and Roosters' players?

Probably Joe Numpty from Thirroul, another 'exciting young prospect!' :laughing:

What did Cordner say?

Trouble in Eel land…...Corey Norman and Brad Arthur are butting heads....

Timing is interesting Wallabies just finished their season as did the World Cup Rugby League. Given we have started preseason I am hoping it’s a rep player.

Jason Taumalolo..big fan of Lolohea

 

[fergiefurr]

My guess is Bayley has been upgraded to full time.

 

[Needaname]

I’m thinking Jake Maketo.
There was talk in the media his time with Romanian rugby was short lived and his coming home to sign on with a NRL side. We were looking to sign him at one stage but I have also sign posts in regards to the Bevan French rumour. Personally think the media miss heard the teams title and is getting the Titans confused with Tigers. That makes more sense to me.

 

[Needaname]

Just saw Justin’s Twitter. He specifically says announcement on the 29th early next week. I’m glad we can all stop counting the players over and over in trying to find the illustrious number 29!

My guess is Curtis Rona who was in the Wallaby European tour. Unlikely to be offered the same money to play in Union compared to what he could receive in the NRL. Also, with the demise of the Western Force, he has to move regardless from WA back to the Eastern States. If you're doing that, you want maximum dollars for cost of living.

World Cup Player?
Seeing as the RLWC has just finished, and the player obviously hasn't started training with WT yet.
