Tigers have signed Tom Amone effective immediately.

Thanks @THE_POM any other goss behind the scenes and/or news about our hookers particularly and whether they both fit into 17 or if Mbye will be super sub etc?

Tigers have signed Tom Amone effective immediately.

Interesting. Didn't think we needed a prop but doesn't hurt to have him there. Souths fans weren't happy they let him go

Curious, prop wasn’t where I was expecting us to make our next signing.
Depth in the front row can never hurt though.

Is there a reason they decided on him? Prop didn't seem a concern really. Appreciate the info as always

Tigers have signed Tom Amone effective immediately.

Interesting pickup. He has very good leg drive but his lateral defense is a problem. Might be a good impact forward off the bench. He is coming back from injury so will see. Has alot of upside if he clicks.

Must be depth due to blore.
Decent size

 

[yeti]

Can't have too many props, I guess.

Hey mate.
Any truth we are in the chase for Mitchell Dunn at cows?

Tigers have signed Tom Amone effective immediately.

Great signing runs extremely hard and dents the line.

 

[Shooter Mcgavin]

Anyone know much of Amone? He looks like a big fella, however I am a little skeptical seeing he has played 9 games and is 24 but that is just surface level worries that I’m sure could be eased with those that may have insight on him. Also seen he was released by souths in November so has been on market for a while without much talk around town. Again, happy to be educated on the matter by those with more knowledge of the situation. Cheers

Finally my wish comes true. Been wanting him for a season or two. Cheers Pom.

Thanks mate.

I thought we were looking for backrowers But there must be a reason.

Nugget of a man, hard to stop close to the line.

Seriously , Michael gilllet used to control the play , and we’d win or lose 14-12 . Every singly game .
That’s literally what it means . And that’s why brooks played like garbage last year . That’s all he did . He didn’t play “eyes up” or creative football . Which is what you’re taking about .

Michael Gillet was one of my favourite players, but he had one good season and was rubbish after that. We lost a lot more of those game than we won, and we never made the finals with him there so not sure what the point of the comparison is (two players who both play halves and don't take their team to the finals?).

Michael Gillet was one of my faves back in the day, that comparison hurts feels like I’m in some sort of never ending vicious cycle which was briefly interrupted by 2005.

Forgiveness applies until he gets in WT training gear or jersey.

I still think Brooks at 6. Take the pressure off and just run the ball. Would suit him. Adam can go to centre

Watch that Manly game when he kicked across field accurately for Doueihi to score. He took control from Marshall and did not hesitate to step up. I admired his willingness to take responsibility.

Talent and skill has not been doubted by most of us. Its the willingness to be a leader that has frustrated the Tigers faithful.

@ 150 Games and years in First grade, and finally a massive forward pack there are no more excuses for Luke Brooks.

Don't think he has ever used one.

Haven't seen Tom Amone play, but have heard good things about him. A few of the independent NRL media pages talked him up as a player to watch.

Dominant in NSW Cup with a big motor. Dents the line and runs hard. Tevita Tatola is the best comparison however, injury last year the question mark. Solid bench player probably spells the end of Packer in first grade.
We have depth upfront when fit Musgrove, Tamou, Ofehengaue, Twal, Utoikamanu, Amone, Packer.

That’s too many props in one roster and I wouldn’t be surprised if we let Packer go early to free up a spot closer to June 30 or earlier.

 

[Needaname]

Guess Rodwell hasn’t been considered. Wonder if he gets included in top grade for this weeks trial.

Wow how different is our forward pack in 2021 compared to the previous years...Brooks should be licking his chops with all the space and drive these guys should be giving him`````````````````````````````
