Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tigers signed Will Smith, via members news. https://l8r.it/FKkZ

Munster, Moses, Klemmer, Woods & now Smith.

Do I see the standards slipping? Should I be excited about what Sheens and the gang are bringing?

KEEP MY WIFES NAME OUT YOUR F****** MOUTH

welcome smith

Will Smith first bloke I've seen stick up for hos wife.

Still weird to announce a guy on a training contract. I’m assuming it’s just a year long train and trail. What round can he play firsts in 2023?

If it is the same as last year, round 10.

But the leaks have stopped

Says Training contract and extended squad member in the release.

Maybe it's the Club showing we have an experienced half/hooker covered when 1 of the following happens this week - either Brooks or Hastings are released or Jake Simpkin is released. Hmmmm food for thought.

Another fill in for 2023 only,,. It's quite obvious the club is aiming to clear the decks for 2024,
2023 is the last for anyone without a 2024 contract i imagine. It looks as though Tim is saying no new deals for AD and Hastings, He said Brooks won't be released, and has bought another half. That means we have 4 halves,-- someones going !

 

[WT2K]

More garbage if you ask me.

WT DNA for ya.

Lower tier contract, not top 30. So an ok signing.

Will Smith as a back up not in the top 30 is a terrific signing IMO. Never really reached his potential, but definitely has got better with age and will plug a hole or 2 when needed. Very naturally talented footballer.

Smart signing for back up

Ah ok similar to nu brown i guess.

So how's it work he's paid to train for the year, would get match payments, not in 30 but money spent goes in the cap?

The non-top 30 guys get upgraded when the marquee players fail to eventuate. Smith isn’t silly.

It would be a train and trial contract I guess and would be included in the second tier cap.

Kurt Falls next

 

[Tigerdave]

Yeah that's a bit left field, hopefully Smith works out a better than Peachy

Agree …. will cover our lower grade halfs deficiencies and if needed be available later in the season.
Low cost, short term smart signing.
Not sure what some are complying about?

 

[WT2K]

My brother knows a guy that is supposedly in the know - hope he’s wrong though.

Word on the street is that we have signed Kurt Falls and Will Smith on 1 year deals (hopefully train and trial only)

One down. One to go.

 

[Telltails]

Another option for 7. The way things are going he may get a start.

 

[KingRobbie]

I can understand the signing if not in the 30.

Will be a very young NSW Cup side, and he'll probably be captain.

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Quality depth signing. Especially if outside the 30

Yeah definitely. Everyone has these types of players/signings in their extended squad. We lost Madden, Peachey and Brown for depth utility value. Need someone there and with him not being Top 30, it works.
