Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[happy_tiger]

No big signings is a good thing for us. Trust me we won’t win anything if we continually recruit big money players. Keep at it sign young players with pedigree that want an opportunity. Build a club the kids want to stay at and play for. At some stage the investment in pathways will deliver the players we want at the right price.

Recruitment should only be to strengthen areas we are weaker at and or for experience or leadership to help the young players.

Problem is that we have lots of weak positions and little leadership. Strong recruitment is needed from the position we are in.

Just driving by the demolished site at Concord..
Traffic was crawling...
I looked over and spotted Tamou dragging a suitcase through the mud ..
He was crying ?

surprised you recognised him - didn't think you knew any plodders looking for a retirement leg up.

Plodders are easy to spot ....
Only have to watch us play

But we turn plodders into Origin players ..when they play us

I see the "signing suggestions and rumours thread" has descended into the "petty squabbling and sniping thread" again.

This is the General thread on the WT Lament Forum

Penrith (who also lost the grand final) signed Andrew Webster, who will kill their attack.
Parramatta signed Bryce Cartwright, who is Bryce Cartwright.

How is everything going so right for us this off season!

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

He would. There are plenty of bubs in the inner west

hope you meant pubs lol

oops typo

He is going to defend next to Moses to help him out

Someone I know may have been trying to wind me up but he had heard Mansour was being discussed as an option for the Tigers, just saying so don't shoot the messenger.

MWZ is on the market again.

I heard yesterday penrith were shopping Mansour and or Naden to Dogs so Staines could play wing for 2021
If Mansour came to the tigers not sure if he was subsidised better than we have but probably save the coin

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...

And atleast twice he’s said he won’t be there if smith is there. So you know as much as anyone else on here.

Dear oh dear, you still aren’t clinging on to him being here in 2021 are you? ?‍♂️

Mate... I don't care for your spat, but what Harry says and what happens are two different things.

It's all PR, he is CONTRACTED to Melbourne, he is expecting to go back to Melbourne. But what happens if Cam Smith plays on, no one can really say with your level of confidence. You are more than welcome to predict this, and I even agree with it. But it's not the end of the story.

This..... X2

The POM even came on here and said they were told by the NRL to keep it under wraps bc of the media attention it’ll get which’ll promote the idea that the loan system doesn’t work and Harry has been instructed to insist he’s returning to storm next year due to his contract saying so

Explains his hesitance to guarantee he’ll be at the storm next year as earlier on in the season, he would always say “we’ll see how it plays out towards the end of the season” cliche - you can tell he gets uncomfortable when asked bc he himself doesn’t know for sure what club he’ll be at next year

Both penrith wingers were exposed for lack of pace in GF..we dont need another shortish slowish winger for sure

 

[Harvey]

Mansour is well past his best

 

[tiger_one]

Mansour is well past his best

x 2

 

[Aesopian]

Mansour is well past his best

0% chance we sign him.

He's a poor man's Nofo. Older, slower, scores less meat pies and similar defensive prowess...

Mansour could play ISP. Is it the Panthers are over the salary cap?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

The guy I spoke to is a sponsor at the knights we own some horses together and he was mainly talking to me about Roberts to newcastle but mentioned Dogs were looking at Naden or Mansour something about Penrith making room for Staines on the wing. I have no idea regarding penrith doubt they are under salary cap pressure but maybe they want some of the cash to hold Burton or something who knows
Personally think Mansour is a bad buy
