Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Roar_Power]

It’s amazing how much can happen in an off season. Only months ago, WT just looked like going through the motions in 2021 while we awaited the exit of overpaid players and salary cap relief.
With the potential for Laurie to join and securing a decent lock, suddenly there is hope this season. The side looks exciting and has points in it. Hopefully the defence stands up!

Nicolussi pretty on the money usually with Tigers stuff.

I'm 3 from 3 in the rumour mill and I'll be 4 from 4 after Laurie starts training with us after next week. It's a done deal, the sticking point Cini but now resolved. Pemriff wanted a trade deal for Simpkins and were prepared to pay plenty so that's probably a good sign too.

I think he meant it was just an enquiry, I’d like to think we said no

Daine Laurie more than likely to be released from panthers immediately to join Tigers for 2021 season and wear the 1 jersey.

We are going to be exciting if nothing else in 2021. I am FIRED UP.




Hmmm, maybe it WAS a power play by Tigz Admin to apply pressure on Riff by chasing Creighton hard and increasing his expectations.
We all felt it was a long shot to get him, but if he actually did agree to terms, a win/win for Mighty Us!
Thats some seriously awesome board-room manouevering.
Hope its all true.
Best off-season ever! ???

Half full.

We offered cash back when Aloiai left.

If we get DL released early from Penriff then I'd say BEST off season ever... it's very good now but getting DL is the icing on the cake... I'm excited for 2021... looking forward to the young ones getting a go too.

We signed a chunk of a premiership winning squad in 2004

I was just thinking the same thing. Listening to Tamou talk reminded me of Satler.

Yep, Hartigan and his team are doing wonderful things for us.

I am thinking our defence is one of our strongest points this year.

Took them a while to accept that offer. Just wondering what changed their mind

Cheers legend glad we said no that’s for sure

If we get Laurie and he can make that fullback spot his then we are looking good. Mbye off the bench gives us cover all over the park. Simpkins is missing out but will he really be ready at 19.
