Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

This Kulikefu Finefeuiaki with a very impressive try assist against Redcliffe tonight!

Did he do anything else ?

 

[Hbom]

Have I missed something with Papalli and Stefano wanting out of the joint?

No.

Post in thread 'Shawn Blore #235'
https://weststigersforum.com/threads/shawn-blore-235.31129/post-1836293

We better extend Blore otherwise I will riot into Concord aiming straight for Fulton!

Key points:

His future undetermined but hoping to stay at Tigers.

Telling quote:

“My impression from it all was that was one side [club management] was happy for me to walk away, but one side was happy to keep me.

“Benji [Marshall] and ‘Sheensy’ [Tim Sheens] were keen to keep me. I’m a very loyal person. They gave me a chance when I was coming off a knee injury.”

FYI, thankfully Benji has final say on recruitment!

Loving these quotes, this is the type of player we need. If he goes, I will seriously take heads!!!

“I’ll know more in two weeks what’s going on. My heart lies with the club. I hope they keep me, and fingers crossed they do keep me.”

“I want to see the Tigers win. I just want a proper pre-season. I want to leave everything out there [next pre-season], and become a player who plays 80 minutes, and then some.”

I'm with you

In all interviews the Gymnasts doesn’t exactly give off “I love it here” vibes. He has probably asked his manager to gain a release. To his credit he still shows plenty of heart on the field. Stef I just don’t get that feeling with him at all. Just gotta keep the trampoline away from Ice to minimise his backflip attempts.

So the Bloke in the Bar podcast where they are hearing we are getting a good signing is possibly Olakau’atu? If it is Fulton is a fantastic addition to the club

He signed until 2025.

I would not think manly release him.

Thanks mate,good luck with it.
I bought into 4 horses earlier this year, 1 with Gai, 2 with T/C McEvoy and 1 with
A/S Freedman in Vic.
One due to start next weekend at Randwick. Will keep you updated.

I got shares in Forbidden Gemstone , just back after a short break , she was a bit ruff in campaigner so trainer give her a few weeks out , should be better this time in , keep eye out

Hope it’s not to replace Blore

We have plenty of forwards. What we need is a couple of backs.

I like Blore but if you had a choice between the 2 you go Oko without hesitation.

If we sign him would be for 25 come Nov-Feb timeframe.

Blore is going to kill it in the middle and Olakau'atu can smash 'em on the edge.

Ice and The pommy on the bench by then

 

[weststigerman]

Olakau'atu’s performances this season aren’t any better that what Papali’i did last year for Parra.

We are probably the worst in the NRL for putting second rowers into holes. Hopefully the new halves can fix this but I think it’s more to do with coaching.

Hopefully Ice still here but would not be surprised if the Pommy is back in the old Dart.

 

[Moh]

Could Olakau'atu be a replacement for Ice, if those rumours are true?

Wouldn't mind that too much.

I just want a bloody good centre!

Olam?!

 

[GCfan]

Weirdly Morris and Burgess would have been my pick of assistants
- I’d have to think about it…
to be fair, I’d probably have the Head coach as an assistant for a few more years and be looking for an experienced HC…

Don’t think you’d get too many arguments with having Benji as an assistant and an experienced head coach as our head coach. Although logic and reasoning doesn’t seem to be the Tigers way.

Sign for 25 & start negotiating a player swap for 24

Jamal Fogarty set to hit the open market… should we be making a play for him?
