Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

No super happy about Hastings going, but if we can have all the big moves sorted before Christmas it will bode well for a strong preseason. Pack looks very strong next year, perfect platform for the youngsters to succeed. Bit of luck with injuries and there's reason for a bit of hope in 23

hopefully they move on nof, to'a, doueihi, brooks, seyfarth 👍👍👍

Have a feeling that Ken is the next one out the door.

Squash that feeling deep down inside and do not speak it to existence.

Another extension for Brooks...
This guy better have a stand out year in 2023.

The guy owes us, the fans, something.

The club owes him a good team /forward pack

Nofa must have been so cut getting
ommited from Samoa's world cup squad.
Ego would have taken a massive hit
with 20 year old Izack Tago & 21 year
old Taylan May getting the nod over him

Won’t be here at his current asking price, club won’t even entertain it.

It’s the Moses mbye rule

look how well Moses has played behind a good pack at Parramatta

 

[Alltheway]

I'll get excited when I see consecutive and consistent WWWs

Fair enough, but it’s a good start!

Pretty funny that despite all the noise, again, it seems like Brooks ends up being the one that stays and someone else moves on. If the Tigers are the bar from Cheers, Brooks is our Norm Peterson.

@THE_POM mentioned a slight chance of getting Leniu from Penrith in a previous update. Assuming that’s dead in the water and now rumoured to the Dogs.

I'm not a brooks fanboy - i'm one of the few who think Brooks, Douehi and Hastings are all shit. The sooner the club rids itself of all 3 the better.

All have the ability to play regular FG. None have the ability to elevate a really bad team or attract other players who could . Not many halves on the planet who would make a difference to the WT 20/21/22 model.

Holy shit @Earl maybe I didn’t watch 10 mins of Caleb Clarke for nothing 😂 thanks for the update Pom

I must’ve watched the same 10 mins, that kid is special. Crossing fingers & toes!

 

[BAGNF05]

So with this “new pack “ they’ll make an extra 10 meters in a set .
Brooks will bomb it to there 30 then what ?
Same old shit 😂

The opposition might actually wake up sore on mondays.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Terrible terrible decision re Hastings... Hastings not being considered a 7 and picking Bateman over Hastings are two big mistakes by Sheens. And yet somehow Brooks still survives... astonished

 

[Dennisspicer1]

Credit to Hastings.

Outstanding return/comeback season(albeit interrupted by suspensions and injury) and showed a lot more positive than negative.

He deserves better what this club is alleged or rumoured to be doing to h

Lol closer to ever before

Good scoop @Tom Araya

Yeah it’s confusing brother

I have to agree

Brooks has never played behind a dominant pack because he can't organise. We've had plenty of good forwards in his time here.

Why did the same pack with Hastings in the 7 hold up against teams like the Storm, Parra, Souths etc but couldn't do so when Brooks was in the 7 instead.

God I don't get this club.

They'll end up punching on for sure.

Probably make our halves pair look bad.

 

[BAGNF05]

The old over and end kick. Of all the Tigers on field issues, that kick from 50m over and end that does nothing annoys me the most 🙄

Take a ball down the park, get three big blokes to sprint at you really quick and try to do any different with about 1.5 secs to get a kick away. Better forwards will help.

 

[jrtiger]

Clarke might be an option for ‘24. would make sense considering Maumalo’s contract runs out end of this year and the RWC will be done. probably a pipe dream at this point but stranger things have happened.

 

[supercoach]

To much money in northern hemisphere rugby to have a realistic chance at Clark. A French club will snap him up. Be good if we did, isn’t there a salary cap concession when you sign a rugby player??

 

[Camel2281]

Won’t be here at his current asking price, club won’t even entertain it.

That's no surprise, his asking price is ridiculous, however you can't blame the Bloke when he has to play alongside an inept failure in Brooks who gets paid more than anyone else in the club

He plays on the same side too left
wing. Mutual option for Maumalo
In '24. Clarke would be our biggest
singing in the club's history.. wow
