Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Anyone know Vaughn player manager?

Why? Do you really think the NRL would register a new contract for Vaughn?

The NRL didnt de-register him. St Gilly sacked him for internals. Nothing against the NRL. The NRL suspended him for 8 weeks. He would be free to play for St Gilly in 8 weeks, could play for someone else then as well.

Yep he just has to serve his 8 game ban

He won’t get a new contract registered until at least his current, now torn up, contract is complete. At that time he’ll have to serve his 8 match ban. Even then I think his time in the NRL is done.

If his current contract is torn up, he could sign elsewhere today and then serve his 8 weeks.

Do we loan anyone to saints?

Mbye? For free?

Our big problem is Moses has checked out mentally...

800 plus next year...if he was really putting in and shining at 6 and trying hard when he was at 9 and 4, clubs would have felt like 300-400 + tigers pay half was a decent deal...

But he has legitimately checked out...to the point where every club with common sense will know that we will have to basically pay 80% just to get him to leave.

And if we don't, it will be another year of our marquee player stinking up the joint and bringing everyone down with him.

Quote: I know things haven’t panned out the way I would have liked at the Tigers, b**ut sometimes a fresh start can make a big difference and perhaps that’s where I am at in life.**

This bloke gets 800 grand a year...but needs a 'fresh start'.

**He is absolutely phoning it in...**

Thought he was on $950k ?

he can sign a contract for next year?

You can imagine the outcry from the public if he did. His best bet is to go OS.

I don't think there will be much of an outcry, he will earn much less than he was going to.

This is the second time. Both times he tried to cover it up and to induce others to lie for him. People will remember.

I'd put money on him having a new club in 2022

I reckon he will be playing semi finals this year.

I think the feeling within the NRL had moved somewhat since the suspension and the contract torn up, due to the public outrage. I doubt he’ll be playing in the NRL again. But that’s just my opinion.

Chammas said we should of trade when we had the chance. Makes you think the club has no idea what they are doing

Or Chammas has an axe to grind. I wouldnt be basing my opinions on what he says.

Forget the big name players we need to read the tea leaves. We have signed Ofehengaue, Luciano, Blore, Laurie, Musgrove, Amone, Simpkin, Douihei, Maumalo, Utoikamanu, Tamou, Kepoa, Jet, BJ and now Hastings, Gildart.

To be honest it’s not a bad list BJ, Jet, Tamou are the three that have not worked out. I’ll reserve Judgement on Kepoa and Musgrove.
The majority of players signed by the current management have been good. The offset in that time we have lost Aloai, Matterson, Corey Thompson. Two forces their way out which is the way it works at struggling clubs.

Where we have struggled is a lack of pathways and no one of note coming through our own systems. Let’s hope Tuilagi, Tuki Simpkins, Tumeth, Kei, Ogden, Fuamtimo, Tuifua,Scolari etc come through strongly.

Their opinion may have changed, but the have already passed down their judgement. They cant just say..."Im still mad, here is some more...get this into you".

Of course they can.

Good sensible post, a shining light amongst the panty wetting...

It is not a bad list?
Tamou, Kepoa, Jet, BJ, Hastings, Gildart all would not get another club play them in firsts in Aus.

Big Joe O admitted absolutely no one was interested in except us...not one club.

Luciano would not start for anyone else with his D.

Amone, big Maumolo...most clubs have squad players at that level. It is not like they are stand outs.

Mugrove has had two decent NRL games in five years...


Our young players may or may not make 'the leap'. Laurie has been good, but we are talking about maybe the 12th best FB in the game. Jake and Tuki may be great...but yet to really stand out in state cup.

I have hope, but I do think a lot of us here overrate our roster. We are third last for a reason.

Has there been a time in the last decade when they looked like they knew where they were going?

Not since sheens good years coaching

That’s a comforting thought. Cause I thought we might have signed him.

I agree and have stated before we have the second worst roster in the comp. the players we signed are actually the better prospects. That’s the issue the cupboard was bare and cap was poorly managed. Now we can’t attract players youth the only way.

Looks like a wooden spoon roster if I’ve ever seen one

At the risk of sounding like a negative nellie I think we are still a chance to get it this year...

Exactly, they roll us twice and we are in deep poo.

Not saying it going to happen or even likely to happen, just that we are a chance..
