Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Has to be Tamou. He was the leader of Penrith who made the grand final, there was nothing but positive stories about him all year long about great he is with all the boys in the team especially the young fellas.

I agree Tamou should probably be captain, but wouldn't be opposed Brooks possibly as captain, merely as a psychological tactic for Luke to help him feel like 'the man'

Brooks as captain? Lol
We need a bloke to stand up when it gets tough... not go into his shell and look for somewhere to hide.

I think Brooks was fall apart as captain. He needs to focus on his game, doesn’t need to have any other worries right now.
 
If the unfortunate happens and Nofa walks.....

I’d chuck a big offer at Xavier Coats off contract end of this upcoming year, reminds me of Izzy and Yow Yeh has the potential to be a freak

Maiko Sivo also off contract too....

Brooks will have a better forward pack to play under, no Marshall hogging the ball. Rather him concentrate on his game.

Tamou as Captain we only need one.
If out injured make Nofo captain he deserves the recognition.

You would have to say Dessie must not rate Garrick given his bought 2 new wingers recently.
I would give Radley around $1 million to play with us or even pretty boy Cameron Murray. Not many decent locks around.

Heck New Zealand is willing to pay $1million for Matthew Lodge.
I mean Lodge is worth more then 500k, but a wooden spooner forward asking 1 Million.

Doers anyone know what the amount was for Joe O understand a 3 year deal. Agree Lodge not worth more than $500k and NZ should have a rich talent pool to develop themselves.

Joe was on about 500k at Broncos and I believe for the first 2yrs at Tigers they're chipping in 200k/year. Good result for Tigers picking up an Origin level player for that cheap considering what they paid for Packer.

That's a good deal seems like a smart buy and player looking for a new start. I have a feeling based upon what Grant did last year and Liddle's win rate (37%) that we might see Simpkins getting the Nod over Liddle????

Think Joe O will most likely play Lock rather than Twal.

Yeah personally feel Joe will prob play lock and Twal back into the forward rotation.

Hard to say regarding Simpkins as he's yet to debut in 1st grade so I'm not sure Madge gambles on him to start game 1. I think initially his best chance is no14 coming in as Liddle tires a bit however if he really lights it up with these opportunities he maybe forces the hand and he ends up starting.

DT reporting Hull FC have offered Benji Marshall GBP400,000 for one season. Hodgo the new coach, the boys club never dies

Those ‘05 boys are very tight I’ll give them that. He would be the richest player in England if he took that up.

Now, that is the elephant still in the room.

We had a kicker ...the elephant took care of him ..why are we rooming recruits with large land mammals for
 
Pictures of first day's training on Facebook. Joey L is looking fit. I sense a big year ahead.

He should be interested in Reynolds and Packer would be strong over there. Would be a great career move.

To be fair if Benji goes over there he’ll probably end up winning the man of steel. The style of play suits his game.

I really hope that Nofa stays a Tiger, but his skill set is not irreplaceable.
