Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Holden]

Also a little nugget left by Lee when discussing Mansour, he said words to the effect of " we are already well stocked for outside backs and we should have some good news as well in the next week".

The POM said there was a Super league outside back we were interested in

Listen to it again

"We are well served with outside backs at the moment, we are looking to enhance those and hopefully we'll have some exciting announcements to make shortly"

probably extensions..... current outside backs with contracts ending in 2021 would William Kei, Zac Cini, Tommy Talau and Nofa. Fingers crossed on Talau or Nofa for now for some much needed good news


Edit*: this is in relation to Lee's comments on Sen regarding Mansour > https://player.whooshkaa.com/episode?id=759040

 

[yeahcaz]

Very comforting to hear Lee H on SEN say that Mansour is unlikely to be coming.

Everything that bloke says, the opposite happens. So with his luck, mansour will be announced next week

This off-season hasn’t been the same without Smoking Gun aka nug gnikoms aka wokesmoke.

I never got to see him didn’t he just make crap up ?

Pretty much. Was entertaining though.

I loved it ?

Not crap mate it was all true. I said that Josh had signed with the tigers which was spot on. I also stated Benji will be at the Rooster when everyone thought he was going to the cowboys. I also mentioned via private inbox that Josh is not well liked in the playing group and he was on the outer. But hey that’s fine if you think it’s crap I’ll keep my information to myself

I know we are after Spencer Leniu from the panthers but bulldogs are favourite. Josh Mansour contract has been removed and Josh Aloai was not liked with the playing group I knew a month and half ago he was on the outer. I was told that JAC was stopped by Melbourne not from JAC end and they very confident he will be a tiger 2022

dude there are so many nelly naysayers on this forum that if you take offence you m ight as well not be here. I for one hope you hang around

 

[Deleted member 3518]

@insideman are we looking at backrowers ?To me this is a clear depth issue

 

[cqtiger]

Jamil Hopoate is another one we could look at.

Utter trash. Has got hands like a digital watch, and never uses arms in the tackle.

What about his fingers?

 

[Tigershack]

Aloiai has said he will not wear the tigers jersey again, what a disgrace from some one who is suppose to be a professional.The Tigers are on the back foot trying to sign trying marquee players and he is trying to take advantage of this to get more money going to Manly while still under contract to the Tigers. The NRL needs to step in and let him sit on the sideline for 12 months and remove him from the Tigers salary cap to let the Tigers members who pay their hard earned money to support the club this is not on.

 

[Roar_Power]

Been reading around the forum today. A lot of negative publicity unfortunately. Time for WT's to grow a set and hold Aloiai to account; contractually to the end of 2021. I do love how targeted the new signings are though. Its no nonsense and strategic; probably quite frustrating for agents who are trying to squeeze more cash out of the club - but this is exactly what we need - a competitive, uncompromising and staunch approach to spending the cap on a group of players who want to be here with good work ethic and an unfettered aim to win every game they play.

 

[CCTW]

Daine Laurie has signed (2022 & 2023), however no announcement until he is formally released for 2021. Its looking likely he will get that release, however it could be dependant on Burton. Panthers don't want to lose both for 2021 as they would lack cover in the halves. Dean Blore has also left the Panthers and signed with Rugby.

Roberts is likely but there are a few boxes to tick and the club are doing their due diligence. It will likely be a short term deal or a deal with a club option if offered.

Addo-Carr and his manager have indicated that they are still open to joining in 2022 and i believe there is a meeting in the coming weeks. It is most likely that he will go to the highest Sydney bidder.

The club is looking for another forward, however there are not many favourable options at the moment and they are hoping more options will open up in the pre-season. Angus Chricton is unlikely to leave the Roosters at this stage given the Boyd Cordner situation and has told a few clubs he would like to stay at the Roosters for 2021 to fight for a contract.


Blore and Nofoaluma extension talks are underway and appear positive.

Good stuff, thanks for the info. Any idea who the super league pommie outside back is that THE_POM mentioned we were close to signing?

Exactly.....

 

[insideman]

@insideman are we looking at backrowers ?To me this is a clear depth issue

I agree. We are after a young forward from Penrith Spencer Leniu but dogs are favourites to get him. Their was talk of a ex west’s tigers prop coming back but he has knee issues
