Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Maybe the Tigers can take the NRL by surprise and sign no NRL first grade players be a true underdog for season 2022














Waiting to announcements until after the G/F so that it doesnt upset the players in the G/F who are comming to the Tigers

Where did all the Spencer Lenui talk come from (a couple of weeks back)?
Maybe he's a player we have tabled an offer to.

He's got one year left on his contract, on 300k. Mostly featured off the bench, playing 10-20 mins a game and wants more. Panthers have reportedly admitted they might need to cut him loose and re-sign two youngsters on 150k instead.

He's very close to Blore, and also mates with Laurie and I think played junior reps with Stefano too.

He's quite attainable. Offer him 400-425 for the next two years with an option and get the boys to put in a good word. Then push for immediate release.

Don’t think “boys put in good words”. They all realise it’s a business. And any club that tells its players to get in the ears of opposition players are unprofessional.

How so? That's how Sharks swooped on Lewis. It's well documented he was signing with us until Gallen got in his ear.

Don’t really rate Spencer. Would rather have Franklin Pele from the sharks. Massive unit and mobile.

Are players agents? Do you really think they get involved in the money side and say “hey look, I know your club is only offering you 400k, but our club is gonna offer you 500”? They are in no position to do that, it’s fan fiction. How would you feel if an opposition player got in Stef’s ear, and at the direction of the players club? The forum would riot. And besides one unconfirmed report about Gallen, how many players have ever signed on at a club and put it down to the clubs players “getting in their ear?. I’m gonna say none.

I agree, Pele is similar to Stefano.

I dont know if the club put him up to it, but didn't farah get in teddy's ear when he was tossing up between us and the raiders?
I think any advantage we can take to get someone here is a plus, we need all the help we can get

 

[Aceshigh]

He looks pretty good however Madge would have to trim him down some just like Stef

 

[loklok]

Pele and spencer both good signings on the cheap

Didn’t Tedesco get sent on a mission to try to sign a junior this year?

Wow he looks the goods! Pretty amazing post contact metres and late offload.

What's his defence like?

I know nothing else about Pele but if he's half that effective in the NRL, he and Stef together could be massive bookends.

...and after he toured our 'facilities'. Didn't like them at all.

Mate I reckon that sort of 'professional' went out the window in the pursuit of winning.

Coaches and management talk to players which factors into their thoughts, and players talk all the time.

Tedesco went to him. Farah didn’t just talk him out of it, he had already regretted his decision.

Off contract at end of next year. Available as of November 1to table a contract

Spencer, Pele and Luki…… now we’re talking

Give Stefan a little platform to base some of his work off

Know Franklin Pele personally, might be hard to sway him away from Cronulla as let’s just say they look after him pretty well $$$ - BUT was promised more game time last year and wasn’t given as much as he had hoped he’d receive…. so maybe just maybe

Might all depend on the new coach then?

 

[Tiger5150]

Sign Pele, just so that in two years our props could be Pele & Pole

Considering the Sharks didn't have the most successful year, it is interesting that they didn't give him any game time. I wonder if he was in the bubble? Tigers could surely match or better the $$$ on offer with our cap space available in coming years. Madge could bring Pele in similar to Stefano this year with the game time he received. Would be a great pickup if it happened. Big 'if' still though.

@teddy23 if you know him, can you disclose if we have shown any interest?
