Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

David Riccio said on Vossy that WT and Raiders in running for Billy Magoulias

I hope that’s not true, he’s a decent reserve grader but nothing more and Peachey should be 13

Definitely one of the most overhyped reserve graders in recent memory.

How true - he had one outstanding game in a reserve grade GF and suddenly became the next superstar.

Looked great a few yrs ago in NSW Cup, has a nice chip and chase in him however has never really come on since.

we have made an offer for hodgsons services from next year for 2 years
liddle has been offered to the dogs for thompson and cash their way

Any official source/inside knowledge or just a wishful rumour? Massively for this idea if legit.

Thompson the walking suspension

What happens to the prop signing and 2 or 3 other 'good names' signings As mentioned a week or two ago?

They said forward but never said a prop.
Said a player we are desperately in need of.

And this was prior to Peachy being mentioned but supposedly was not him. I guess Michael Clarke had some news after all.

I believe he also mentioned the player was currently contracted to another club as well which also fits this scenario.

Spencer Leniu is the forward

Talk of him has been dead quiet ever since his name was first floated a couple weeks ago though.

I don’t think it’s a done deal mate. @cctw stated it’s very likely

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Thompson already rejected us. Can’t see it happening

Leniu was shut down by the bloke on LU, but CCTW said he was likely. we're probably talking to a bunch of players given our cap space, hence the mail coming from various sources. come November 1 it'll go into overdrive.

Exactly mate. Couple more weeks. I think we will announce someone before then though

Spencer Leniu would be an unbelievable signing, but I feel like the events of the past few weeks might've hurt us in our pursuit. in saying that, now that he's won a comp he might feel as if he wants to move somewhere where he can nab a starting spot and be paid the coin he deserves. him and Stefano as our front row pairing would be immense.

Flanagan had a fairly high opinion of him from memory.

Didn’t like Leniu at the start but think him and Stef will compliment each other well.

He knew he was off to England hence punching on

Geez things really must have gone south for Liddle since re/signing in June for the next two years
"I’m really excited to be able to stay on with the club,” Liddle said.
“It’s been a bit of an up-and-down ride for myself personally, but I’ve loved being at Wests Tigers and really feel a part of what we’re building here.
“I’m determined now to make sure I continue to deliver my best footy each and every week and help bring success to the club, its members and its fans.”
Tigers coach Michael Maguire praised Liddle for his work ethic and said he was pleased to see the hooker remain with the club.
“Jacob has had to work really hard over the past few years,” Maguire said, “But he’s got himself now to a point where he has grown a lot as a footballer.
“He also knows where he wants to get to as a player and where he wants this club to be, and I’m looking forward to watching him continue to grow and achieve more in the years to come.”

Oh! but if you have an agenda against Liddle - the above is not true, but they put forward a suggestion he is against Madge.

A coach who has stood by him and given him a go. Go figure.

Maybe Liddle is ungrateful and has a poor attitude?

Hodgson appears to be injury prone - past it - probably no help to younger players, I think the game has passed him by.

In other words "Past his use by date"

One day you’ll find out Liddle doesn’t love you as much as you love him

I couldn't care whether he loves a dead dog!

Strictly football Mate - nothing else.

Madge has made no secret about the fact he wants an experienced big bopper in his forward pack.
Interesting how this plays out but I’d say one of the below
Thompson or Paulo for an expensive mid term option.
Or
Leniu for a cheaper long term option.
Or
Taupau for a cheaper short term option.

Agreed,he will spend more time off the field suspended than on it.Poor value for the money he is on

Out of those 3, grab Leniu if we can. Build for the future

I’d take both of the last two if it was me.
