Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

you cant compare Liddle and Grant, because there play styles are very different imo

Agree Liddle has speed and a good dummy half pass and Grant is a bit more of a scheming Farah kikcing and into everything type of player. Simpkin a bit more in the cam smith solid type of mould I reckon

I think we should make a very attractive offer to Tedesco before Roosters resign him. Something along the lines of Latrells offer, 5 years or more. The fact the Roosters are looking at Suali should raise concern of Teddys long term future. Cant hurt?

I suggested this months ago and got shot down. Yet the same people who shot me down still think Harry will stay after he’s confirmed over and over that he’s going back to the Storm

With Tedesco, I’d withdraw the offer to JAC and off Teddy 1.5 million, a position on the board, stakes in the club, anything it took to bring him back. Won’t happen, but it doesn’t hurt to dream.

We will not get tedesco unfortunately I wish we could though.
Why can't we load up the big offer for Grant make it hard for him to take a melbourne offer.

because until smith retires there is nothing to offer for next year....and Grant has to say he is returning because he is obligated to.

But come nov 1 there is nothing to stop us loading up a contract for him for 2022....

Isn't he already contracted for 2022

I thought it was only for next year but had a clause to get a release if smith played on??

I could very well be mistaken....

He does have a clause, but just because it’s there doesn’t mean he’ll automatically activate it. The appeal of being apart of a premiership winning side probably negates Smith playing on.

I get it GNR4LIFE you don't rate Grant a SOO player and would be satisfied with Liddle and putting the money elsewhere


Now you're just making stuff up - i never saw anywhere that GNR doesn't rate Grant. what i have seen is the fact that he keeps saying Grant is contracted to Melbourne until the end of 2022 and he ( Grant ) has constantly said he is returning to Melbourne. **Your obsession with Grant is way over the top**.

Will keep on repeating this - I don't think people truly understand how good Grant is. If it helps the loss, call it over the top.

I am a huge fan of Liddle, and while people have been calling for us to cut him through all his injuries I've always wanted us to persist with him. He has shown he is a very good player whenever he has been on the field for us. Totally happy with him owning that jersey, and seeing what Simpkin can do.

But Grant is different class.

I hold no hope of him sticking with us at all, and do agree it's not a position we are in desperate need of - however I don't think it's a given he will be in Melbourne. Yes he has said it, but that's because his contract currently says that. I just can't see him and Brandon Smith playing 2nd fiddle to the GOAT Smith.

If Cam Smith plays on, and Grant truly enjoyed his time with us - another year loan doesn't sound farfetched to me.

Grant is good, but I think he was seriously overplaying his hand towards the end of the year. I am not going to say Liddle is better, but he is good.

Smith was a dominant player at Melbourne, but he was smart and subtle (right place, right time, right decision). Grant looked almost desperate at times and took too much on himself rather than feeding others.

Was still our best player by a good margin, if he wasn’t jumping out of Hooker and creating things we would’ve gone even worse. The kid is a freak and will be origin hooker for a long while, they’d be stupid to pick friend or hunt over him

The sad thing is Grant was not named our best player, a SOO player and probably test player too yet he didn't get out player of the year

To be fair it’s off a points system and he missed a couple weeks due to injury. Nofa didn’t miss a game I think and was always very good.

Josh to be fair Grant was not a SOO player then (still isn't at this stage) and I'm not sure but being a probable test player as well aren't criteria for picking Rookie of the year. Personally I'm hoping Grant gets picked for QLD - would be more worried this year if Friend is selected.

Will be interesting to see who they pick. For me it’s between Harry or Hunt

Nothing wrong with paying big bucks for players as long as they’re good players. Giving someone like JAC extra money is fine he’s in the prime of his career and is an Australian level player, he will be good. Big difference compared to paying overs for someone like Packer

You just can’t. Some people on here have suggested $1M a season and it just ridiculous. Imagine if he got a serious injury round 1. We would have $3M sitting on the sidelines for 2021. That is financial mismanagement personified. We need a balanced cap and that means not paying overs for anyone.

well how much were we looking at paying mitchell? and how long was he on the sidelines for this year? suspended 1 week and a major injury....head space on the guy aside bullet dodged

You don’t know how much we were going to pay Latrine. You only know what the media wanted you to think you knew to generate click bait and media revenue.

I reckon QLD take Friend to start and Grant on the bench for first game. It means no halves cover for them though just think first game they won't start with Grant
Unlike some in here he is easily rookie of the year in nrl

Grant is good, but I think he was seriously overplaying his hand towards the end of the year. I am not going to say Liddle is better, but he is good.

Smith was a dominant player at Melbourne, but he was smart and subtle (right place, right time, right decision). Grant looked almost desperate at times and took too much on himself rather than feeding others.

Was still our best player by a good margin, if he wasn’t jumping out of Hooker and creating things we would’ve gone even worse. The kid is a freak and will be origin hooker for a long while, they’d be stupid to pick friend or hunt over him

The sad thing is Grant was not named our best player, a SOO player and probably test player too yet he didn't get out player of the year

To be fair it’s off a points system and he missed a couple weeks due to injury. Nofa didn’t miss a game I think and was always very good.

Josh to be fair Grant was not a SOO player then (still isn't at this stage) and I'm not sure but being a probable test player as well aren't criteria for picking Rookie of the year. Personally I'm hoping Grant gets picked for QLD - would be more worried this year if Friend is selected.

Will be interesting to see who they pick. For me it’s between Harry or Hunt

Bennett is very conservative picking teams so i would expect Friend to get the hooking job for the first game

Jad so you think Friend and Hunt on bench ? or do you think Grant gets a bench spot ?

9 - Friend
14 - Hunt
No Grant

As a NSW fan hope they go with
9. Friend
14. Hunt

Brent Read was talking to Triple M and MG made a comment that James Roberts would be a good fit at tigers under Madge.
If he doesn't go to newcastle could he be an option on the wing instead of JAC ? has pace but attitude being the problem, but we could get a contract heavily subsidised by souths

Posts like this show your lack of maturity. Because people back Liddle you try to make out we think he”s better than Grant. We’re actually because he will be next year and Grant won’t.

I want the tigers to succeed and if that is with Liddle as starting hooker great, do think Simpkin will be the better option in the end.
So then we shouldnt even make a play for Grant as we dont need him then, Liddle will do the same job ?

We, or should I say you, need to let Grant go.

I'm not giving up that we dont get him long term for 2022 pending if we get JAC or not. But yes agree he will not be here for 2021 as it stands, at present we have Liddle and Simpkin for 2021 it is a downgrade but hopefully we manage

Dude, how many times do you need to be told he’s contracted for 2022. And what does getting JAC have to do with it. Yet another thing you always go one about.

Leave him alone . Your stalking every post he makes. It’s a forum, your not the harry grant expert here. Harry has said multiple times if smith is there he won’t be. He wants to play number 9.

I’m more worried about your obsession with Tedesco. He will never come back here so let it go. Nothing Jedi _tiger has said is more ludicrous then you saying offer Tedesco $2m. I can only imagine the outcry if anyone else had said that.

Harry has also confirmed twice he’s going back to Melbourne...

We’ve got lots of centres don’t really need Roberts would also be helping out Souths so unnecessary.
