Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TigerLouis]

I don’t understand why people are against signing James Roberts & Josh Mansour they are quality proven first graders who have both represented NSW not that long ago & will improve our backline if fit & focused. A backline of
Mbye
Nofoaluma
Roberts
Leilua
Mansour
Douiehi
Brooks
with
Cini
Kepaoa
Talau
Momorvoski
Bradley
Reynolds
Madden
Walters
As back ups will improve our backline from last year.

Reckon we’d be way better served by Cory Allan than either of James Roberts or josh mansour tbh. He ain’t no JAC but would easily be our best fullback, a position we are in way more need than wing.

He is slow that is my biggest concern... I would rather give Daine Lawrie a go there if we signed him.

Hey mate, does anyone know if the Daine Lawrie that we hopefully sign is any relation to that raw boned, mad as a meat axe prop, Daine Lawrie that played with us in and around 2008.

So we have 3 spots left in our roster and people would rather we waste them on Roberts or Mansour rather than someone like Laurie??

Don’t like to post crap from Insta but it looks like Camroux might be going to Newcastle.

They were after him originally, and had told us they were interested. We then got off our bum and gave him a 3 year deal. His family are all Tigers and they wanted was a chance for him to shine. Sure covid has complicated things but he's highly rated at the club and we wouldn't be letting him go unless we had someone big lined up. Highly doubt he'd be leaving. He could have signed elsewhere earlier but wanted to stay.

Camroux to Newcastle is official. Have just been informed by him

He's related to Daine Laurie but also to Cody Walker.

Why are you including Mansour in team lists? And to answer your question, Mansour is a slow as a wet week 30year old winger that adds nothing to out team accept another slow winger with poor defence.. We already have one of them named Nofoaluma.

Thats strange although perhaps we prioritised Mickey Tannous over him.

Seriously? Where was that?

His own Insta story wishing him good luck at Newcastle

That’s horrendous

How old was camroux? Can you really blame him for going to Newcastle but. would so much better living there and playing rugby league then living in over populated Sydney

 

[innsaneink]

He wish himself good luck?

Am I wrong or did he only just sign with us earlier this year

 

[BalmainJnr]

Literally as his first job at the club Hartigan got Camroux to stay with us after interest from both the Raiders and Knights. I don’t understand why he would now be suddenly leaving. Fake news?

 

[weststigerman]

I don’t understand what Newcastle could offer that we couldn’t.

It probably explains why he’s not on a development contract. Maybe Tannous and Madden are rated higher, maybe his family are moving there. Who knows.

 

[JC99]

I hope the club prioritised someone else over camroux and didn’t just straight up lose him...

 

[Telltails]

His family are rusted on WTs. Last year I know that the Raiders were interested in him and that they were frustrated by the WTs lack of motivation to counter that. I assumed it had been resolved - maybe not.

News we have Laurie is very good but can’t help but think we nabbed him as we missed out on Burton.

Laurie has # 6 over fullback IMO future wise all over his style of play.

Laurie and Burton could forge a really good halves pairing for the next 5 years
