Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Demps]

I’m hoping Hastings goes alright he resurrected his career over there, his ability was always there for a better than average player but his attitude was the issue. It’s pretty apparent even he recognised that and was willing to give it an adjustment. My hope is him an Brookes gel Brooks isn’t a talker Hastings is, Brooks arguably has more ability but can’t talk.

I gotta feeling if Brooks doesn't fire this year he's getting the one yearly exit like Mbye did.

Or at least this should be what is happening.

 

[Odessa]

Blake Ferguson Anyone?

Apparently he's on the lookout for a new club after he his shenanigans in Japan

Your joking?

It would be a Tiger signing 100 percent the only sticking point would be if it's a 3 or 4 year contract

Yeah, perfect example is the halves combination in 2014, one being probably the most loathed of all signings in Anasta and the other bolting in as rookie of the season. Braith didn't do much with the footy at all, with Brooks handling some 95% of it, but he did do the talking, guiding and pointing, and along with Potter let Luke do what he does naturally.

Was expecting Doueihi to be our six and shine there last season and still hope that he can, but now expect that the centre position will be his most suited position before moving on to being a backrower in the future. Sorry to upset some, but I increasingly see him similarly as a Sironen type. That being a half with some skills whose big body has got him through to grade, but not quite up to the next level in the halves. Again, hope that I was correct with my original assessment.

With Adam's injury and Peachey now on deck likely to fulfil the dynamic lock role, Hastings is definitely going to be a half and I truly think that his talk, tenacity and direction as a true half will allow Brooks to get on with his own.

Relevant to the thread, it has all gone very quiet on the rumours front.

I would expect that over xmas/new year however it is possible there could be a change or 2 before the season starts as it has happened before

Hope so, as depending on the veracity of the Roberts getting a top 30 reward reports, WT still have either a spot or two to fill before kick-off.

Totally agree with you on AD - I’m glad someone finally said it…
He’s too big and slow for the halves, he’s still young, he’ll have to learn to defend a bit better and he’ll get to the back row (possibly even lock) but he needs to accept that and move forward…
I only wonder if he’ll kill it like like Lewis - or break down?
But that’s where he needs to set his sights - he’ll get left behind if he tries to make a career of 6

 

[Telltails]

The Panthers have signed a promising back-rower from Wests Tigers.

Daniel Sykes played in the NSW Cup for the Tigers last season but the 20-year-old will start this year in the Panthers' Flegg side.

A workaholic back-rower, Sykes regularly topped the tackle count for the Tigers last season and is also capable of breaking the line - another kid to watch over the coming months.

His best career footy has been at 6, all his best attributes are those of a 6. He's 23 and had injury problems, let's let him develop at 6 because he's showed massive promise there. Wasted out at centre barely touching the footy and he's too slim for the forwards.

Or a 3-4 year stint in the slammer

 

[426Tlgerland]

Was Daniel Sykes a keeper , Panthers taking him ?

 

[426Tlgerland]

Do we have any updates on any players the Tigers are looking at or are we running with what we have and keeping a spot open for later

It’s Xmas and New Year. It’s a dead time of year. Things will pick up again in February.

Nah, I think his future is in the back row/lock.

Hard question his best position.

Good at a few positions master at none at this point.

Would need a lot of development to make it in the forwards. Size improved defence ect.

He's bigger than Radley, Murray, McInness....
Has the size, Provided he makes the move ASAP,
Defence is his biggest issue, That may improve in the middle though - Bit easier to read.

And JC99, Some would argue (myself included) his best Footy was played at 1 - For Souths...
He carried them into that final series... That forms what we bought him on.
