Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[SeanT]

I listened to that episode we would be paying 550K for both years I believe but you can blame the board for that if true only problem is none of the board members can be held accountable Rob on the Podcast said that they don’t even vote on their members or Pascoe to decide if they want them out once you are on it you’re there for life only way you get off is if you resign or die

Mbye finishes this year doesn't he.
Front load Brooks this year for next and we will nearly be back to normal.

1 million playing elsewhere in brooks and mmbye great cap management
if we can move Brooks for a shot at Munster all for it

A team running last is not going to offload one of its best players to pay freight and pick up a prop on the way down.

Munster is a prop? Damn fool.

Brooks isn't one of our best players. He's an overpaid anchor

CCTW - Brooks to Newcastle seems to be on the cards. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Klemmer move the other way to make the money work.

Now it's Munster! The Storm don't remain near the top by disposing of their best players. Does anyone believe Munster would leave the Storm to join WTs under Maguire?

 

[stryker 69]

Who says it's true ?
Wouldn't you be glad to be rid of Brooks ?

You keep taking a punt each way.

We had the chance and didn’t take it. If we do it now it’s to our disadvantage, as I stated.

Only for 1.5 per year on a 4 year deal

The Roosters, Broncos, Dolphins, Titans and just about every other club would be there before us and offering more.

I don’t but you obviously need to sharpen your reading skills up. CCTW has the good oil more often than not and Klemmer with Stef goes a long way to shoring up the middle third of the field for us - perennial issues.

He also (whoever) never even stated that it’s likely Munster will come here… actually was agreeing with you that Brooks might yet be a first-grader, and worth persisting with but honestly Paws, without meaning to rain all over your parade, I’d probably sell out for Sexton, CHT, CNK or RCG as halfback right about now 😂

I would take Klemmer over Thompson any day.
Any chance Barnett can come as well?

 

[Devon Head]

I work on the coast and live in Lake Mac. I'll meet you halfway and take him the rest of the trip

Where in Lake Mac you based? I grew up on the West side around Rathmines/Wangi area. On the Cenny Coast now though.

Smells like another Tamou acquisition.

Jeeez, I truly hope not

Sorry no news on Signings....Just left scratching my head on another lost season.

As much as I dislike Ivan Cleary he was a genius in terms of what he did with the Tigers in 2018. Normally a 50% win rate gets you a start on the finals (as is the Tigers way, 2018 was not one of those years)!

In another sliding doors moment, we miss out on Wayne Bennett and end up with Michael Maguire (who's going to put a hard edge on the traditionally gun-shy Tigers). We're now realising that Michael Maguire's coaching methods are about as effective as an Amstrad 386 in 2022. Bottom line, he can't coach water downhill.

As for the players backing Maguire, common sense says you're going to say good things about the bloke you're relying on to pick you week in, week out. So there's hardly likely to be a mutiny is there?

Before we start shopping players left, right and centre and playing freight, how about we sort out a new coach and ask who he wants in his squad?

Hopefully we'll be able to pick up some 'actual' bargains at the fast approaching Bulldogs fire sale.

Nice part of the world.

No doubt if that happens woods will want to come back to the tigers to play with his mate

Well done. The new coach should always have the choice of the players on roster he wants.

He’s stopped giving the club 100% and needs a change . Don’t blame him one bit. Obviously people will hammer him but this club has never given him the tools to have any real success.

Do you have any idea when it’s likely to happen. Thanks
