Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Woodsy is still playing good footy and big minutes , would be better than Tamou who looks to be struggling with the pace of the game

Hopefully he will continue to play good footy - for someone else. He might not play for them anymore but....

Honestly I hate Blocker now…

Instead of talking crap about us, why can’t he just go ahead and support us by going down to the club and offering assistance.

Not only that, maybe giving some of the people we’ve went after in recruitment like TPJ and Finucane and say hey, come join us.

Absolutely freak

Watson has signed with Roosters per Carayannis.

might deliver Egan Butcher to WT.

 

[Newtown]

Geez we’re putting out some fluff articles lately aren’t we.

It’s called damage control. Madge Pascoe and a few others are trying to buy some optimism for the near future and keep their jobs. Even if we jag two more wins, it’s been a terrible year

Has it? When it started I predicted 10th. Were close. At the end of the day I'd rather develop young players then buy over the top players.


Crazy as it is, 10th sounds good for us, but objectively it IS terrible.
Missing finals is failure.

Having said that, we haven't missed yet!!

We need to buy 2-3 quality stars. We just have to.

Exactly. Imagine if we signed Paulo, Lomax and Papali’i. We’d instantly be a top 8 team

Lomax isn't currently showing much. But maybe he needa a better team than Dragons to play his best. West tigers could be the team.

I respect your opinion, however Blocker ain't so bad. Block gives us raps. Hooper is a pretender imo

Lomax needs to play alongside Doueihi & Brooks, then he'll really shine.
He ain't getting much out of Norman, Hunt, and Clune

Think it might work out this way

Thought the same before this year, couldn't quite understand the hype around him, but watching him to start this season can confirm he's got 'it'.
Before he went down with the wrist injury in the game against us he was playing some serious football. Hits as hard as any centre in league and has a real competitive streak, not necessarily the quickest centre going round but so strong and smart, very similar to Mark Gasnier, the offload is always in play and he's very good in the air. I feel like his current form relates to either his time on the sidelines this year or maybe there is some truth to the in fighting rumors.
Regardless, if he ends up in a Tigers jersey next year, there won't be many on here doubting if the kid can play.

I do like Blocker, but reading all his crap lately and him saying it from his heart we need to improve doesn’t help where we are.

Get out there and actually talk to people or come into camp and train the young guys.

He’s played like 6 games this year. He was an injury away from the NSW centre last year

Is there actually any substance to the Lomax talk? He'd be great but is it even a possibility?

Didn’t Madge get Blocker into talk with Stefano before his debut?

Demps mate I hope your right and where ever your getting your whispers from is a good source. Would love him at the Tigers, but he has a five year contract with the red v and they are thin on for talent..so why would they agree to let him go. End of the season when COVID restrictions are lifted they will have a big BBQ and smooth things over!!

For the exact same reason Todd Payten has been treating his best player so poorly at the Cows...
He's on FAR TOO MUCH - for FAR TOO LONG. He was signed to be Fullback, That won't eventuate now - and 600k for a Centre of any level in this day and age is nuts!!

Any other fluid issues would be just that....

A piece from the Courier Mail about players signed by NRL clubs from Langer Cup.
I have included Keebra & Marsden for the Tigers signings (Chris Faagutu was discussed on here last year)
KEEBRA PARK SHS

Two of the best Langer Trophy players this season come from Keebra Park SHS, a renowned hunting ground of NRL talent scouts.

Prop Herman Tofaeono (Wests Tigers) and hooker Blake Mozer (Broncos) were young guns who both made the Queenslanfd 16-18 years schoolboys merit team earlier in the season.

Other NRL contracted players with the Keebra squad were Immanial Kalekale (Titans) who is Tofaeono’s starting prop partner, edge backrower Seth Nikotemo (Titans) and middle forwards Del Wigmore (Panthers) and Arama Hau (Titans).

Pick of the crop: Dummy Blake Mozer is a gun.

Wavell SHS players Prinston Esera (L), Felix Faatili and Karl Oloapu (News Corp/Attila Csaszar)

MARSDEN SHS

Marsden SHS’s players will be spread across seven different NRL clubs, with South Sydney, the Storm, Titans, West Tigers, Canberra, Parramatta and the Brisbane Broncos sharing the talent.

The Rabbitohs has astute Queensland schoolboys merit fullback Leon Te Hau signed along with Braydon Teuila, while the Canberra Raiders snapped up pacy outside back Teapo Stoltman and the Storm signed quick silver winger Tea-Rani Woodman-Tuhoro.

But the Tigers have also swooped on captain Chris Faagutu, one of the players of the competition, and the reliable Kiernan Tempest who is a David Stagg-type player.

Parramatta have prop Lance Fualema and the Broncos edge backrower Nathaniel Tangimataiti, another Queensland schoolboy merit player.

But the Gold Coast Titans have been most active, securing Dominique Sandow,

Sione Foutika, Xavier Stowers, Will Semu and Taelon Te-Shiu Hopa.

Pick of the crop: Year 10 students Will Semu and Taelon Te-Shiu Hopa were exciting talents, but big prop Xavier Stowers has probably made the biggest impression.

Thanks. Despite not being officially linked to Keebra now we can still sign one of their very good young players. It seems like a good outcome as well as the young players from Wavell.

It was the same even when we were officially tied to Keebra - we'd get a decent look at lots of their kids, but also large numbers of them would sign elsewhere. I think this is especially true now with the return and stabilisation of Gold Coast - there's a very obvious geographical reason why Gold Coast pick up so many Keebra kids.
