Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

AFB seems to have kept his nose clean after an incident when he was 19 and I hear he is a good family man from people down here who know him better than me. I saw Dylan Walker, wife and son at the Mall yesterday and they looked like a happy family. People make mistakes, it's how they learn from them that matters
Vaccinations are a personal issue, if you want to take them good luck to you, if not that's fine too, I don't label people who's personal choice differs from mine
Good luck to AFB I say, great player who deserves better than some of the comments here

Players wanted him gone. He's a kook and divides the playing group. Half baked preacher who doesn't know when to stop and Des didn't like him.

Any word on Staines/Burton TB?

BTW, there's a LOT of talk Harry will be a Tiger next year.

Thanks for all the updates, this one is a beauty, if so surely Liddle is gone, Simpkin will be the back up hooker, and yeh we need Tamau to get in Burton's ear, then we will have a real shot at finals footy.

Not necessarily so, maybe he may play him at lock or in the halves. Who knows?

Maybe Russ, but have you noticed Liddle has been getting less minutes lately, now he is not in the team at all

Yes I’ve noticed it, but I don’t know why it’s happening. I thought the team had more spark when he and Grant were on the field together.

Grant lock. Liddle 9. That would be my choice. Considering our halves next year won't have alot of exciting ball playing skills, it would make up for a lacklustre Brooks Mbye combo, by spreading the ball out more with Grant in that roll. We can dream. Who is our lock anyway.

There is a bit of talk that Sammy Burgess may return to Souffs for 2021 season the time off has done wonders for his shoulder so that should be a good job for PVL to work out hope he does will put more pressure on the cap

Both he and GI got out of their contracts with no cap penalty and got jobs at the club, and both want to play again now, the NRL love their rabbits, meanwhile we are still paying our cap fine

Yes still paying a fine for a job offer that was never actually accepted! It’s bloody laughable really.

You don't hear the media bring that point up if this is the case the compensation given with the Cap should be reversed if a player wants to come back and play in that next season otherwise unfair on other clubs.

They would be licking there wounds after last night, we shoulkd have beaton them as well the week prior.

I believe Cam Smith will make up his mind after Grand Final. If Storm win he will retire like other past greats - Price, Cronin, Big Mal, Cooper Cronk and Webcke all played last game Grand Final winners. If they lose or don't make GF I can see him going around again so he leaves Storm with Bellamy. Harry Grant like Ellis would be our greatest signing and a game charger for WT. I would make him captain.

So we are hoping that the Storm don't Win or make the GF this season, he may lose the GF and still retire.
He is a bit too young for captain but i would like Mybe relieved of the captaincy.

 

[supercoach]

I say Harry is very short odds to be back in the Storm system regardless of what Cam does. I just think people are reading between the lines and coming up with what they want to hear. Anyway hope I am wrong but can’t see it

Would be a complete disaster.

We have been consistently out muscled by most packs all year and you want to replace either Twal or Mcintyre with Harry Grant?

Madge has had Grant & Liddle on the field twice, both at the end of games when we are already losing and chasing points for limited minutes, when we had nothing to lose.

Grant and Liddle on the field for 80 would be suicide. Half of the game (more than half usually for the Tigers) is defence and opposition packs would charge on through the middle.

Now I don’t believe we will actually be able to secure all the names that we are supposedly chasing but you cant help but get caught up in the hype…

1 Moses Mybe
2 David Nofoluma
3 BJ Leilua
4 Adam Doueihi
5 Josh Ado Carr
6 Matt Burton
7 Luke Brooks
8 Josh Aloiai
9 Harry Grant
10 James Tamou
11 Shawn Blore
12 Luciano Leilua
13 Alex Twal
14 Jack Herithington
15 Zane Musgrove
16 Stefano Utoikamanu
17 Sam Mcintyre

That side has speed, aggression and a HUGE bench. Our depth would be outstanding with Liddle, Simpkons, Eisenthuth, Mikalie, MCK, Packer, Reynolds all experienced first graders as back up.

We could only dream….

 

[Speed2burn]

Chris McQueen had a stormer of a game for Huddersfield over night, would be an astute pick up imo

 

[JC99]

Penrith officially announcing that Tamou won’t be there next season

Probably means we will announce him soon

That is a top 8 team.

I do think Hetherington will go back to the riff

Was probably the reason they were happy to let go of tamou

If that doesn't make you wary about signing players that look good in England, I don't know what will.

He actually looked like he had speed over there.

Josh, you will kill it at 5/8 over there, take the opportunity!

He’s pretty quick to be fair, he just never got into any space for us

Haha hopefully JRey saw the game

He made a long break against the Panthers in Brisbane last year and set someone up with a lovely pass for a try. Only time I saw him in space.
