Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tesi Niu would be a good get if we can get the right price for him
Stef will be a star he is someone parramatta will regret letting go
Simpkin will be good just needs some game time
time to load up and throw the sink at Brandon Smith

Stefano is too good to waste his time with this train wreck ..

he seems like a rooster type player doesn't he

Unless we can recruit players of his caliber to help him out he’ll end up at the chooks for sure ..

We need Brandon Smith not just for his playing ability but for the desperation and mongrel he plays with. He just wills things to happen. And at hooker he will literally drive our team.

Offer him 5 years at $1.1m a year.

Go hard and go strong and blow storm and roosters out of water.

I agree to not play overs for signings, but so it allows you to make a big play at a club defining marquee player like the cheese

We need more than Smith. No way he comes to our rabble without other notable personnel changes.

So I’m assuming the club ain’t releasing mbye?

Only one day to go.
Let’s hope it happens.

Hard to see it happening with Laurie injured unless there was a very attractive swap (Lomax). I highly doubt there's even a remote chance of this happening.

Well management have to do something. We have over 400k to spend in the next day. The only acceptable option is to recruit from outside. The seasywas over months ago.
There's no one in NSW cup that deserves a contract upgrade. Even throwing all our money on Front loading a jersey Flegg player would be a waste as none are ready so we're just wasting cap space.

If the simply promote Tuilagi or even worse, Cooper, it would be an extreme insult to every member and show in full transparent how pathetic our management is. They won't, and can't survive that.

We aren’t going to sign any decent players in a hurry. They will consider our offer and then sit back and think will coach Maguire improve them as players? The answer is a resounding NO.

Everyone keeps saying Maguire is not the problem but he is definitely part of the problem.

Extend Steph and front load his contract.

If we are going for developing players, we are still throwing them to the wolves too early. Will not further them mentally.
If we can't sign anyone, how can we gradually move these players into the squads? We surround them with journeyman (all we can sign) and it is a very long process. We need strong leadership.

 

[iofthetigers]

I think we need to try and get T Niu and quickly before its too late. I would have him in the centre straight away as he is just like K Staggs and has that X factor. But we all know we will get jack Shit but after tonight I can see why players will not come here... Train wreck

He is not a centre, interesting is last night one of the things that was mentioned,was he has told the Broncos that he has already received 3 offers from clubs , 1 of them the Tigers & is waiting for an offer from Warriors ( not that you would believe it coming from him). The other thing was that the Dragons have requested permission to negotiate with Farnworth but have not been given a response yet which is very surprising.

If we dont sign anyone of note we are best to front load Mbye. If we pay him 500k this yr when it doesent matter then we only have him for 300k on next yrs cap and should be able to find a buyer meaning we pay nothing for him next year. In saying that at 300k he is value for money for us too as his utility value is good and he played well last night sadly the rest of the spine was woeful

 

[TigerWest]

I think the club need to review there recruitment policy, signing nobody and relying on youth is not working in the now?

I don't think we require a lot of top talent players, a couple of backs and a forward would be a good start.

Continue cutting the deadwood.

Start getting some success, then go back to current recruitment ideas, which I agree with.

Season is gone I’d let him go

Bigger picture if we can get someone more for next year over Mbye for this year in which the season is over then do it.

Play Cini or AD at the back, play Madded or AD in the halves. Give the kids some game time they have zero chance to develop whilst reggies is cancelled for a 2nd year in a row. They need games on the body.

 

[TigerWest]

Don’t we have to have a top 30 signing by the end of today?

Guessing it will be Kelma?

Not sure about 3 hookers (one unproven/unready) and two fullbacks. Think our priorities are elsewhere.
