Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[WT2K]

Canberra and Wests Tigers have opened talks over a shock off-season move for English hooker Josh Hodgson.

News Corp has been told Raiders coach Ricky Stuart and Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire have spoken in-depth about Hodgson’s possible transfer to Concord.

Wests Tigers had briefly stalled the discussions until head of football performance Tim Sheens was formally appointed.

With Sheens having signed a contract on Tuesday, talks between the two parties can kickstart again. There is genuine interest from both clubs for the transition to be completed.

The major obstacle will be exactly how much Wests Tigers want Canberra to tip in for the deal to eventuate. Canberra fears the amount might be too high.

Hodgson, 31, has another season remaining on his current Raiders contract but the switch would be immediate should a deal can be struck.

Canberra has Tom Starling ready to step up and take over the club’s dummy-half and hooking duties should Hodgson leave.

Hodgson would be happy to stay but wants another long-term NRL deal before retiring.

Raiders recruitment guru Peter Mulholland is also across the negotiations.

Sources close to the talks claim Wests Tigers’ offer for Hodgson would span two, possibly three seasons.

Hodgson has been linked to multiple clubs over the past 12 months.

There were suggestions Hodgson was restless at Canberra but Stuart maintains a strong bond with the English star.

Securing Hodgson would be a massive signing for the struggling Wests Tigers.

Should Canberra reject Wests Tigers’ approach, Hodgson would stay on and complete his deal with the Raiders next season.

Wests Tigers have already signed Great Britain internationals Jackson Hastings and Oliver Gildart and former NSW utility Tyrone Peachey for next season.

Sheens, Stuart and Maguire were all at Canberra during the 1980s. Stuart and Maguire were playing with Sheens the head coach.

Maguire is known to be a fan of Hodgson, who was part of Canberra’s 2019 grand final side.

Hodgson may be prepared to take a contract reduction to secure a new long-term contract.

Stuck in England through Covid, Sheens has been attempting to return home for the past three months. West Tigers have used Jacob Liddle as hooker but Hodgson would give the club more strike out of dummy half.

Wests Tigers in discussions to sign Josh Hodgson immediately.

Raiders have given him permission to negotiate for 2022. Tigers set to offer two year deal.

In the article is mentions this:
Recruitment manager Warren McDonnell, who once worked with Sheens at the Tigers, will also return despite parting ways with the club twice in the past few years.

It’s unclear what the arrival of Sheens and McDonnell means for head of football Adam Hartigan. The club is also on the lookout for two new assistant coaches after the departure of Shane Millard and Wayne Collins.

From foxsports: Manly veteran Dylan Walker is the pick of the bunch after the utility enjoyed a strong back-end to the 2021 season.

The Sea Eagles have tabled a two-year contract extension but The Australian’s Brent Read reported the club’s patience is running thin as his manager shops him around for a better deal.

The Wests Tigers are interested in the 27-year-old Walker and still have $1 million to spend on 2022. The utility played under Tigers coach Michael Maguire at South Sydney and for the right price, a reunion could be on the cards.

Playing ability aside, the testimony of what he did to his Mrs was abhorrent (despite the charges being dropped). I would be deeply disappointed if the tiges gave him an opportunity.

Yeah seems like a Class A douche however he was massively impressive during the back end of Manly's season and charge into the finals. He's an effort player with skill and really offers a team energy and spark. Is that enough to turn a blind eye to the rest? I tend to feel it isn't however worthy of some consideration.

Mmm, I don't think any level of football ability should make you turn a blind eye to domestic abuse.

Yeah I’m not a huge fan of Dylan walker and what he did was terrible and unforgivable but when you haven’t made the finals for 10 years people will get desperate and take talent over good honest people

I'm prepared to admit that I suspect my deeply held principles would come under severe pressure if we were talking about an in-their-prime Sonny Bill or Thurston with some unpleasant personal baggage.

I've missed something. When has JT ever faced allegations of domestic violence or anything else 'unpleasant'?

Without slinging unsubstantiated mud, there couldve been a catalyst why he went north from the bulldogs

Yes, wasn’t Matty Johns involved in the issue as well?

Same issue, different party?

Ronalds back!!!

 

[craigtob]

I believe that if we don’t start bringing new players into our so called top 30 we will definitely be going backwards
Every other club have improved their roster except us
There are plenty of players out there at the moment ….. just make it happen

Liddle has been told he has no long term future at the club. Simpkin is only 19 and has one of the longest contracts at the club. Hodgson would be a fantastic role model for Jake to learn off. In saying that Hopefully Liddle will go, with Simpkin on the bench.
