[AL The Tiger]

Just off the top of my head - top 13 side of worst signings of the last decade

1. Mybe
2. Roberts
3. BJ
4. Joel Reddy
5. Lolehea
6. Reynolds
7. Anasta
8. Tamou
9. Ballan
10. Packer
11. McQueen
12. Bodene Thompson
13. Blair

Jamal Idris didn't do much while he was here...

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Have been told this is Luciano…


If Lucy thinks he is worth 700k he has the same delusions as his brother.His defence this year was diabolical and while his attack was decent it was not outstanding.I hope it is not him but if it is give the DCM

(If it is him) I can see Lucy feeling disillusioned (was going to write jaded) by the treatment of his brother and wants out. I’m with you, I hope it’s not him.

He was cooked once he got here. Taking time off and nearly being kidnapped in Asia will do that

I find it hard to believe the player mentioned in that article is luch, but even if it is, we need to negotiate. Down year or not, he offers something hardly anyone at this club has and that’s strike. Imagine he played for a team with actual support play. The player turnover at this club is ridiculous and if he leaves, no one, especially not potential recruits is going to say “oh I heard he wanted 700k”. They’re going to say “tigers can’t even keep their best players, why waste any time of my career there”. We can’t be a stepping stone anymore

You told us at the start of September we’d signed Lomax

I saw Pascoe today at Big W Macquarie Centre.
Asked him straight out if Hodgson is coming and he basically said we are waiting for Canberra to come to the party salary wise.
I said “but they don’t want him hey and he doesn’t wanna be there. So we have the upper hand”. He replied “yeah”.
BTW I didn’t realise he is quite tall

If this is true it actually shows what a poor position we are in as a club when the CEO is talking to supporters at the shopping centre about the details of contract negotiations.

You're correct. Very unprofessional from a CEO to discuss ongoing private negotiations with a member of the public. Extremely amateur. He needs only say we're in talks with a number of players including Hodgson. That's it.

If the deal collapses then he can elobarate that they didn't chip in enough.

Unpopular opinion but I couldn’t care less if he left. He was awful this year

Don’t let the door hit you on the way out, fat chance of that if Luciano is trying to make contact anyway.

Everything Pascoe said has already been published in articles by multiple journos. He's literally said nothing that everyone didn't know already.

Once you’re on the forum naughty list it’s very hard to get back to the nice list.

Clearly as a joke. If you actually fell for that something’s wrong

So you're happy with our ceo discussing private contract negotiations with any random person, anywhere, anytime? You think that's professional? This embodies everything that's wing with the culture at the club.

Is it any wonder we can't sign players? If our CEO is happily spilling details to anyone that asks why should we be surprised when we get gazumped or used as a pawn?

You just don't do this in a professional environment. And as we know, our club has a culture of mediocrity indoctrinated since birth.

I don't expect Pascoe to tell the guy to piss off. Just a friendly hey mate, been a tough year but we're building well, are in talks with a number of quality players that could have a big impact for us in 2022 and will hopefully be announcing more soon.

Stella form ...not Stellar

 

[tigerbenji]

Ryan o'hara

Sam Harris says Hi.

 

[tiger05premier]

Wasn’t Lucy only on like 350 a year ?

Correct. It is not Lucy, so everyone can stop laying into him now.

Even if it was no other club would pay him 450k so he would be losing money if he did walk out

 

[tiger05premier]

Sure, punt Luciano and replace him with who?

Anybody

He isn't really that good

 

[TigerWest]

Have been told this is Luciano…

"Given his stellar form this season"? I doubt, its any of our blokes?

 

[Kiama Tiger]

Maybe he is talking about Matterson

 

[finnzo]

Really hopeing it’s not 1 of our blokes but would it really be an off season without a tigers player wanting a release from a contract

 

[Demps]

Maybe he is talking about Matterson

Lol, Matterson.
Always in the headlines.

Wasn't he dropped for one of the finals games?
He'd be annoyed for sure.

Was his season Stellar though?
Can't remember anything special from him.

He did get knocked out again though, didn't he ?

 

[BeeJay]

This is from the telegraph and buzz? if it was one of our players they wouldn't hesitate to name our club just to have another negative article floating around
