Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

This is getting comical at this point but in other unrelated news... we may or may not hold all the cards, for Burton and Mansour.

Love the little throwaway line at the end. ?‍♀️

The Tigers are still the basket case of the NRL open market. They’re struggling to sign a player.

Oh man!!

[Hooper Warning]

Cmon people

See Penrith have told Mansour he will struggle to make first grade
This is what we should have said to Talau 2 months ago and we would have probably had JAC

James Roberts has been released

Who would walk away from their contract and huge money without another deal lined up? This stuff only happens at Souths lmao


Souths:

- James Roberts walks away from 500k deal....No issue

- Alex Johnson signs 200k under value....Nothing to see here

- Talks of signing JAC despite it ultimately meaning 'club favourite' Alex Johnson would miss out.... Great Recruitment

- Burgess failed drug tests, club doctor breaking the rules.... Literally haven't heard anything about it since


Tigers:

- Let go Papenhuyzen as a junior despite having the best full back in the game in front of him.... 600 'delusional basket case tigers' articles still being written in 2020

And don't forget Burgess and Inglis 'medically retired', then the Burgess crap hits the headlines while Inglis is playing in Super League.


Inglis wasn't medically retired, he just "walked away" same as Roberts.

For all the talk about Souffs being the "spiritual home" for aboriginal players, there seems to be a whole lot of them leave there with mental health and substance abuse problems.

Souths have little difficulty attracting players.

I don't believe Tigers want to release Talau.

Interesting point. The jet came to them with plenty of issues though, Inglis didn’t.

Doesn’t look like the corporate world think we are duds😂

Wests Tigers announce new apparel partnership with Steeden

https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2020/11/02/wests-tigers-announce-new-apparel-partnership-with-steeden/

The industry-leading deal will also see Wests Tigers become the first NRL club to partner with Steeden, who have been heavily involved with rugby league for several decades.

Wests Tigers are one of the strongest sporting brands in Australia and we know that this ambitious investment will only bring about a positive result for both organisations as we continue to extend our lead in the apparel space,” McErlane said.

Inglis saved a lady from self harm.

I read somewhere that it’s being reported he is being released but actually they are firing him because he has so many indiscretions behind the scenes

It's refreshing to note a club treats all players equally.

That would make more sense. Souths love covering stuff up

Yeah I read that too

There is no way he would just walk out on 550k to join the dole cue at centrelink

That was posted on this forum earlier, and I believe they said they got it off the Souths forum.

? Ok, I thought he was with mental issues

Interesting admission there by GI. Did not retire because of any physical or mental issues in his own words.

I don't like reading it, but it's true.

We can't get rid of the players we don't want like other clubs (Roosters, Souths etc.) and we can't seem to get a decent rep quality player. Even when we had all that cap space, our biggest marquee player was Reynolds.

 

[Aceshigh]

I just saw Reynolds up here on the north coast , thinks he gonna have a boom year 😂

I’m sure he sped to her rescue

The boat nearly capsized in saving her!

After having a few too many first of course.
