Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Dale Finucane ?

Throw the kitchen sink at him.

Haha I only just noticed he is off contract this year as well. Yep id take him in a heartbeat.

Solve our lock problem instantly.

In my opinion either him or Jake Turbo are the missing piece that would make us top 8 maybe top 4. Leadership, defence, mental toughness, will to win. All boxes ticked. ✅

Jake Trjobevic is a step up on Finucane ...he can ball play at or before the line ...that is a massive advantage


The only way he or his brother will ever leave Manly is if they get 2-3 years of the spoon.It is not a money thing with either of them

Yeah realize that ..was just putting it in perspective ....Jake is the best 13 in the comp along with Taumalolo

And we will probably never get within cooee of signing either


Ehhh you reckon? I'd take Murray or Radley over either :blush: thinkof those two, and we are no chance of signing them aswell

I'd take either of them over Jason T, I thought he was well below his best last year, and I rate Radley very highly. But I don't think I would take either of those kids over Jake T, still under rated and just literally has it all for a 13. The only knock on Jake from last year would be his go forward in SOO was very average, but I place most of the blame on Freddie for that debacle.

All depends what your after Radley /Murray /Jake t all better with the ball then Jason t but Jason t is the best ball running forward in the game

J Taumalolo says hi :blush:

Nah Jake has a huge set of kahunas ...he'd kill his entire family just to jump on a loose ball ....the other two are pretty boys

I love his tackling technique, if I could choose a superpower that would be it.

Lol , Really ? There’s not something more practical you’d choose?

Haha half joking, half poking fun at my own deficiencies when I played

Yea , I can honestly say , I put maybe 5 that guys gonna feel it tomorrow ,hits my life. I rarely missed tackles , but I always felt like An Aaron woods pillow.

I played mostly FB and wing but my defence was probably ‘Brett Finch-esque’.

Doesn’t stop me ripping into highly paid professionals on a regular basis though haha

100% if you have big dynamite humans at prop probably don’t need a JT

Mate radley plays 10kg above his weight. I've seen him drop Tapau front on and Tapau would have 15-20kgs on him easily

Agree on Jurbo but he looks lost without his bro...had a quiet season by his standards imo

Jake T definitely had a down year. Was ball playing too much which often didn't lead to much and his running game seemed less effective. Don't get me wrong he's a good player but there's quite a few better locks in the Nrl I reckon

He came off a serious injury and then lost his brother who compliments him very well

I thought the problem was he got really worked over defensively and his attack got blunted ..which when you take Tommy away as well didn't help .....throw in the fact we had a stop start season didn't help him

His game shouldn't be so reliant on his brother then who when fit is a top 3 fullback easily. Jake is a good player for sure but just needed to run first and pass second more

Their cap is in all sorts. Too much invested in DCE and their hooker didn’t strap on a boot. Not J Turbos fault he was a one man band.

It isn't ...as I pointed out it was a combination of things ...and to be an effective runner you need other points of attack to take away from you becoming a one out runner ....

His running game was sucky in origin too. He lacks a bit of leg speed. Still a good player

And with his brother missing during most of 2020, the defence only had to worry about tackling Jake cos there was no mystery brother to brother plays going on.

I think we were lucky we got Daine L when we did as this Burton to Dogs is getting very public...
Now that Laundy guy is now taking shot at Ivan for not releasing him and bringing up that it was good enough for him to leave Tigers mid term.. Now I am not a big fan of Ivan but they would be out of there minds to just hand over their main backup halve for nothing... Crazy stuff.
We had to deal Momo so Dogs should do the same otherwise they wait for a year.
If dogs made a deal earlier we might of missed Daine this year as he would of been there back up instead..

 

[iofthetigers]

Chee Kam 100kg 192cm,Mc innes 91kg 177cm.

There's no way mck is actually that size.

Tigers website.

Those numbers aren't always accurate but MCK is a pretty big dude. Certainly could play lock given his size however he's too poor a defender to be considered there

Still like Twal for lock. What gives the impression the coaching staff thinks he was a failure there?
Those questioning his passing. He was involved in a number of movements that led to tries as a link man.

I like the idea of Twal starting with Mbye coming on as lock with a license to roam both sides of the field similar to Cody Walker

Who would you want from the dogs though , of the people that they are willing to give up ? Not much there . All thier best players haven’t put the jersey on yet .

I can't believe Napa was the name thrown about. And the dogs rejected it!

Really? I kind of get why , both teams are extremely light in the middle . The dogs are in for a long season . They are going to struggle to get an field position . And what happens when Napa and hetherington go off the field ? Same goes for the panthers . If Yeo of Fisher Harris’s get injured , they are I. For a long season .

Honestly Napa would play well at panthers. Wouldn't have to carry the forward pack so he could do his thing
