Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Halbrowne61]

I also found it interesting that sheens said while he was back in England he has planned to talk to some people etc.. Could be NRL players over there for World Cup or England players. Fingers crossed.

I also do like the sound of what sheen was saying about how the team plays and they plan on been all about attack so might be fun to watch.

Hope there might be a teensy weensy bit of defence in there as well otherwise scoreboard attendants could have trouble with 53-49, or the like, scores in our games.
Could make betting easier, overs every week.
I have also been on this earth long enough to know when someone says they plan around all attack that it’s wise to look at the flip side.

Rival clubs are now queuing at the south side of the Spit Bridge as word begins to spread around town that the brothers may have finally had enough. That their loyalty to the club has diminished to the point where only the commitment to their teammates is keeping the pair from trying to escape.

Clause for concern: Have the Trbojevic brothers had enough of Manly?

Their connection with the club runs deep. But the pair are concerned things at Manly will never change and now reconsidering their future.

Break the Bank, The three Trbojevic brothers would change the Tigers for ever.

Way too much WT hype and PR around these poor kids.

Yes I think discussion about the plan,without direct exposure of the Super 6, might have been a better option for the entire group.
Or maybe, being a tad cynical, they are preparing them for NRL where in most teams there are a sort of Super 6 and the rest of the squad can sometimes get overlooked.

One barely plays - And the other can barely play....
And what about the 3rd one?

What the hell would we do with Jurbo?
Manly are paying him 800 odd - L:et them deal with it.

Yea i aree - Turbo has played 44 games in 4 seasons - hardly worth the $1mil plus Manly are paying him. Jake is cooked - 2022 he was down markedly on stats in both attack and defence and i can only see him going backwards from there. Jurbo - probably the best option of 3 - only 21- mainly comes off the bench. He has the pedigree so could kick on and wouldn't cost a fortune plus is off contract end of 2023.

Benji has the pathways plan with some classy 16 and 17 year olds being developed great buts whats the guarantee that when the time comes 2 or 3 years from now they won't go to whoever bids the most ?
Just reading today Canberra have raided the Dragons juniors and just signed
5 of them !!!

Burbo you mean? (Ben)

Jurbo (Jake) is on a shit tin... and good for very little..

Tommy Talau was a reasonable center before he got injured so would like to keep as we are very light on good centers . Unless he's no longer fit enough for NRL ?

 

[Cobarcats]

I'm re-up the big Klem signing. Mushygrove should be going, Klem comes in.
Apparently the big unit likes the COE hotdog stand so it's go go go.

The Raiders tried to sign our young hooker from the Wests HM team but our club re-signed him.

There is no way the brothers will leave Manly.

Well thought it was telling Sheens specifically mentioned Talau in the same breath as Blore so im guessing he is likely to be kept on. Probably a decent move by both club and player especially if its a 1 yr deal or something like that. Talau gets to prove himself and also the club for looking after him after a horror injury.

They wanted to sign Simpkin as well

Like sheens said in the interview tiger's had a bad injury toll, when storm and rooster's had injuries they had a whinge.

I was just on the wests tigers podcast site and CloudyGlock (who I realise is not always popular with some forum members) posted the following (excuse the poor English):

"Wests Tigers are in discussions with Jeremiah Nanai. Discussion have progressed with genuine interest from both sides. Discussions have progressed to the point that a very substantial and serious offer will be tabled to Nanai post November 1. Club is confident are will push hard. "

You keep going there and you'll go blind 😎

Biggest take away I took from “Ask the boss” and a very big positive was the lack of discussion about recruitment compared to previous videos - more so speaking on how we’ll improve as a football side internally and what we’re striving for etc

It’s evident Sheens/Benji are keeping everything in house in terms of recruitment of players (less leaks) and I for one enjoy it, makes the club look a lot more professional/stable as an organisation

Great job
