Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger5150]

Im excited at teh prospect of TPJ coming but understand some hesitancy from some.

If nothing else it shows the club is actively looking for good recruitment and seem to have good targets.

If Madge thinks Tpj is what we need than he is more dillusional than I thought. The guy is a myth. He is ill disciplined ,lazy and goes missing when counted on. We need guys that work hard with effort on effort 100% of the time. Players like Seyfarth even though he is still a work in progress. What is the fascination with bone heads and Madge. I hope this is just paper talk.

He is a completely different player this year IMO
You’re talking about 2020 TPJ

2021 TPJ has been anything but what you mentioned .. and try to take into consideration he is playing for a sinking ship atm

At his best his attack is probably better than Luciano’s

Bwaith doesn’t sound happy with it. Even better.

Since when does Bwaith say anything good about the Tigers?…

Like never.

I’d rather watch baldy. Buzz and Lara talk over each other and be awkward.

 

[mctiger]

Bwaith doesn’t sound happy with it. Even better.

He’s spot on though. We now have a type, replacing BJ in the bone head department?

I’m sure there will be a DH clause in the contract

More concerned he’s not the leader that Stef, Mikaele and Seyfarth etc need

We have Tamou for that.

Yeah tamou writes a mean email.

What have I missed?

 

[JC99]

Very unsure of how TPJ would do for us but it's a pretty big name signing, our biggest in a real long time if it happens

Would it be a marquee signing for us ?

Just about I reckon

Disagree totally. Tigers have always had reliable workers and it has got us nowhere. Players like Twal, Tamou, Seyfarth, Ava, Suaso Sue, Garner, Woods, etc etc etc. We have always needed and still need an impact forward and TPJ definitely has that potential, as does IMO Stef, Mikaele and maybe Amone. Good pack has a combination.

All those guys with the exception of Woods in his prime ***are just role players.*** If we’re signing TPJ as our pack leader I’m afraid it’s another poor decision. The fact he’s already likely suspended for a crusher should be a pretty good indicator.

You hit the nail on the head. ALL of our pack, now and historically could be described as "role players". TPJ is not being signed as a pack leader. He is being signed to hit an edge hard, rip and tear and get an offload away, He is a potential impact second rower that can do damage that we have not had before or since Ellis.

A reference to when tamou wrote to fans after a loss and copped it deluxe

 

[dazza65]

He’s the enforcer we need, at his best and if it is a swap with billy then yeehaa- we’ve won lotto.

Add Finucane too and I’d be all for it.

he'd be immense on our left edge. second phase, footwork, can bend the line and can put a shot on the biggest and best.

Is he best at 13 tho??

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I think TPJ is just the type of player we need aggressive bends the line offloads, think he’ll form a formidable back row with LL. Wonder if Joffa put in a few good words for us, also begs the question where does this possibly leave Garner? Was already thinking about the exit door this year to Manly was he not.

An out and out 2nd rower for mine. Leave Joe O at 13

Luciano on one edge
TPJ on the other

Sounds like a dream in attack, could be disastrous in D tho

 

[Tiger5150]

Im excited to get TPJ onboard, even without a podcast.

Think it leaves him fighting with Blore for spot on the bench. Garners utility to play backs makes him a good option in the 17 jumper.

 

[Don Kershane]

He is one of the best offloaders in the NRL. If nothing else it will enable us to make better use of possession instead of the one out plodathon we utilise now.

I use to think maybe yes but after watching him this year, he’s as damaging as edge runners come. I don’t think he could produce the same punch in the middle

 

[PabloX]

Can we trade Finucane for MCK while we're at it

 

[izotope]

Tevitas management has agreed to the figure discussed. Agreement between clubs needs to be struck and contract needs to be signed once formally released. Billy likely to head the other way.

Wow, get TPJ. Get rid of Billy Walters and still have 1 slot free before Aug.!
