Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Lol , did some time with the Wyong roos too, didn't he ?

Journeyman.

Probably in Ressies for Roosters...
Think he played Matts for Wests, But played Juniors at Nilldogs

 

[Merlot]

I'd love to have Kickacow and H'arse in our squad next year with Api and Papa

you awake, Hoss

 

[tony soprano]

we must go after Burton

See who our coach is first and you never know.

Bit of a digression but still related to contracts, I would like to see the Club communicate to members & supporters which players are under contract to the Wests Tigers and their profiles (Top 30, Train & Trial, Jersey Flegg) and also Pathways squads (this so called Elite Development squad).

Yes if I dig around the forum and WT news articles & players section on the club website, I can piece a lot of this together but there is nothing that is simple to find. As a supporter, this information would be valuable to build that connection & following with our juniors. For example, it would be good to know if Dudley Dotoi is part of our Elite Development Squad and contracted to the Club in 2022 & 2023 - I'm just guessing that & using as an example.

If our new comms dept regime did this, they would get a big tick from me. I don't think any other Club does this either and I'm not sure why not (no privacy concerns surely).

I like this suggestion.

Manu Ma'u is after another contract. Hull Fc don't want him. Should see if he wants to come back to Aus. I know he is old but he is tough and doesn't take a backwards step. Could be worth a 1 year deal for 200k

Yep. This guy is raw and hard as nails. I’d take him. Also Nuikore from Parra. Of a similar ilk to Ma’u

Let's get Barrett. 👍

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Im sure he’d love to go from team coming 16th to the team coming 15th.

if we get ciraldo I think he would consider it

Niukore is off to the Warriors

Wouldn’t be surprised to see him head to the NFL as a punter.

I rate Blore and he was well on his way to being in the start team this season before he got hurst 1 week out , I call it unlucky he was going great ,
Papi and Blore on the edges and Joe Offa locking it will be good we just need some back ups
as plenty have said
couple back rowers , A solid prop maybe 2 and a centre should lock us in for a good run imo only

Offa has been going well but I don't want him at Lock. Still think we need a speedier, 5/8th type there. Ruck speed is just to slow.

 

[GCfan]

Like your thinking. Make Eels and/or Dolphins pay top dollar for him.

He could still sign at either for less though and those clubs would probably know it.

 

[Tito Santana]

Damn it

Lol as all good rumours do.

There's really people in this world that think we told the NSW Blues captain to "Get Stuffed"?
Really?

To ease your obvious anxiety BB, I think the words were “ not interested “ , but “get stuffed “ is the message . Apparently His management was softly enquiring about life after Rorters contract ends , not immediately.

Too old. Club approaching Paasi

Yea, our only option for faster speed would be either move Doueihi to Ruck or hire someone. No one we have that has the physicality to handle that position really has the speed.

Ofcourse if our forwards get dominant in a game you could put Liddle there for a little while, maybe 20 minutes. We just loose so much ground in the middle that you either need a superstar to go there OR get our pack more competitive.

re Tedesco...
I hope our management would hopefully move past that feeling.
Sheens I suspect would be able to lure him back or be above that.

Honestly, yes. I would be glad to have him back, for the right price.
When Woods approached us, I know we said no but I would have that moneyball conversation. At the right price I could see him adding value to the team, at 600k it's a NO.

Look at Brisbane with Petro Cinavociva! He added something to the culture there. Likewise Scott Prince wanted to finish at his home club. None of them set the world on fire, but they could.

I could see Tedesco adding to our coaching staff in retirement. He clearly is a great NR1 and you add him to our team, we make the top 8. 1.2m Hell no, 800k yes.
