What position does Edene play?
Can he cover fb for a year?

 

[Goldust]

I really like the look of Allan Fitzgibbon.
Serious speed,decent size,looks to have good awareness also.A raw talent,which JAC was once upon a time.

Yes, fullback or wing.

Weird why Penrith don’t have him in the top 30 with Naden out indefinitely.
Anyway he’s better over here

I was thinking the same thing.
Maybe they have a better young lad lined up.

Try scoring machine

Yes, fullback or wing.

Fullback only, as a winger I keep having flashbacks of Lapina (Jackson) Kaufusi

 

[Devon Head]

Corey ALLAN ,another B class player for a position that requires the best.

Played Origin?

Allan and Branko Lee were the Steven Bradbury's of Origin.

Freeing up our bad contracts in their final year when there’s very little available. Why couldn’t it happen sooner lol almost a waste at this point

Dude, there is a long time to go till round 1. January and February can see lots of player movement.

I know, but we’ll see. We might not even spend Reynolds money let alone packers too

We might not, we might use it to top up someone like Noffa to entice him to stay. We’ll sign someone, we aren’t going into the season 750k under the cap. Got a feeling something is in the works

Why does he need a top up to stay? Isn't he loyal?

He's very loyal - but he isn't stupid.

Neither is WTs which has made its offer.

Yes, Yes, Mate - I know you want to get rid him.

According to your philosophy he is taking a spot that a young bloke could have.

However, young blokes all around are watching, "don't go to the Tigers" or "don't stay with the Tigers,"
"they get rid of you, especially if you show loyalty, even when you are at the top of your game".

You reap what you sow, Paws.

If he accepts the offer he stays which is fine. If he wants more $ he has the freedom to leave.

He and his manager chose to play this drama out in the media.

I've learnt a long time ago being loyal is not about the value of your contract.

As I said, say it again - the young blokes of RL are watching.

No

Yes, he can. Fullback is his position.

 

[Fingers83]

Re Widdop it would surprise me if we went that path.
If we did have no doubts it would be on a small low risk contract. He would add value but at a cost of a potential talented gun.

I’m worried about the fullback role. Laurie is a few years off nrl fullback level & all we really have is Mbye or AD.

Backrower we are weak in as well.

I doubt much will happen next 6 weeks signings wise as places will be shutting shop soon.

Do you really think he is a few years off? He looked right at home when he debuted for Penrith. He is ready for first grade now, and that is definitely why he was acquired, and why we have continued to push for an early release.

 

[Russell]

No


Yes, he can. Fullback is his position.

Listen I can as well, wouldn't wish that on the Tigers though.

He has not got the experience, couldn't organise a defence to save his life and doesn't pass the ball.

How is his defence?????

He was is on a dev. contract at the moment and unless they upgrade him cannot play until round 16.

I am confident our football staff have it right.

 

[Spartan117]

I still don’t think that JAC is out of the picture, he would complete us.

He will take less $$ to Go to Souths. Its just a formality for 2022.

His mates are there and they are primed for a tilt at the Premiership in the next few years.

 

[Spartan117]

I know this is a rumours thread and that anything goes but people need to stop buying in to these speculative articles linking players to clubs like ours.
It is nothing more than join the dots by some really low end reporters

Very True

Bulldog Ritchie admitted on Radio today that Any Articles online to do with Recruitment Speculation are by far the highest clicked. There's the incentive there to write junk right there.....

Thanks Pascoe for addressing the fact that the Tigers are not talking to everyone that we are linked to on the papers in the "Ask the Boss #2" Segment.

He was Captain of Balmains last GF winning team, father of Craig. Good player

Cheers @Tiger5150.

Oh, that Allan Fitzgibbon.
I wrongly thought we'd signed some new flyer.
