Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Snake]

Parra fans on twitter are proposing a brooks for brown (d) is on the cards.

Not keen on this one. I’d take Dylan Brown but not at brooks expense

What a strange trade...

Brooks might get to play his first final series before Parra does what Parra does.
Choke and bow out.

whats the point of Madge threatening 2 replace 1st graders with KOE if it basicially didnt happen.#doco,OHS ,Union wouldnt allow those camera;sin the norm

 

[TIGERPOWER]

kills me to say this i thought we looked better when Mbye went to dummy half, i thought his passing was crisper then Liddle, i am unfortunately seeing nothing in Liddle. His passing was aweful today, he is going backwards

Quite a lot of our players have regressed in their standard of play. How long can WTs afford to stick with Maguire?

Depends on how you look at it Utoikamanu, Laurie, Blore, Maumalo, Luciano, Douihei, Twal, Mikalele, Ofehengaue are players who play for Madge.

The group that doesn’t Mbye, Brooks, BJ, Liddle, Nofa.

Which group is the club trying to move on? That will tell you what will happen with Madge.
The players regressing under madge are the players that have to be moved on not the coach.

The narrative is wrong it’s being pushed by media and people are jumping on it without realising the issue it’s our senior players.

Our playing group is better than what our performances and place on the ladder suggest.

The issue is with Maguire and he should be sacked asap.

He should be, but only if he takes brooks with him.

Is this the guy who had the sex tape thing earlier in the year?

 

[compensate]

Interesting to note that not only is Brandon Smith off contract at the end of 2022 but Harry Grant actually has a Mutuak option for 2023 so if effectively off contract at the end of 2022 at this stage as well. I say go all in for Harry


last year showed having Grant in our team isn't priority and I would extend that to Smith as well.

We had Grant and still missed the finals terribly, we have far more important areas to fill before throwing marquee money at Hooker.

Without Grant we’d be last.

But seriously, I’d throw 1Milly at Grant. Even 1.1..

The influence and everything he had on the whole of Wests Tigers, I actually never felt or seen that effect a player can do to a team.

What do you do with the two capable hookers we presently have?

The 19 yr old nsw cup player or the injury riddled bloke who missed 8 tackles vs the Warriors and left dummy half empty and tjrows a bunch of average passes. You give them to someone else snd take the Origin star

Too bad the tigers have re-signed Liddle.

Only for 2 years and Grant would not leave the Storm until 2023 anyway.
You could offload Liddle pretty easy I reason and Simpkin could be a super sub / back up.

Or you could get rid of Simpkin and keep the better hooker at only 24.

Lol ? or get rid of the guy who can't play 80 minutes and misses 6 tackles and throws passes around ankles. At least Simpkin is still developing. Simpkin will be an 80 min hooker

At this stage Simpkin is below average - will he ever get above the mediocrity line....who knows. Anyone can play 80 mins Mate. It is how you play the eighty minutes. The games I saw Simpkin play in the NRL, he was not an 80 minute player either.

I think I would get rid of the guy who also can't play 80 minutes, stands with his hands on his hips after he passes the ball, hogs the ball in try scoring situations, slow as a wet week, no experience and couldn't tackle a decent size sandwich.

This is possibly the worst take on any up and coming player I have ever read.

Russell loves Liddle so much he literally said he'd have him over Harry Grant

Can you please show me where I said that.

Here's you saying you think Liddle is the better dummy half and opposing letting go of Liddle for Grant. Your extreme love is Liddle is evident and I was merely showing that haha, I'm impressed by how you stick by him through thick and thin.

 

Well done digging that up - I still stand by what I said.

. Take off your blindfold and watch the games

Dylan Brown for Brooks.
Where do we sign?

Agreed. Brown is an unreal defender already which is rare for such a young half and he’s quick. Age is on his side and he’s worth the cheque book.

Yeah but he’s another 5/8. Again, if Doueihi moves to lock i am for it but we need a halfback to take the lead…

A team full of right foot kickers as well.

Please god make this happen

Brown is an absolute nothing: this year he has a whole one try assist, two line break assists and a whopping three tries, in 16 games. If you think a 5/8 who scores or sets up one try every four games is the answer you my friend are in la la land. Might as well just give Parra Brooks and find a 5/8 from park football.

Brown has potential and Is being thwarted by ball hog Moses. I’d take my chance with an up and comer then try another 5 years with flop brooks.

I think Moses is Browns problem as well they are not clicking i think Brown needs to run a team

I was thinking he might make a good ball playing lock as he is quick and big for a half. Surprised he is only 85kg so a bit too on the light side.

I would stay out all night in the rain for free to thank the lord of the Tigers could land the dig soon Dylan Brown, that kid is the real deal , he and Daune Laurie would be the start of an incredible spine find the Tigers, instant to op 4 material

Listening to Brad Arthur this morning when interviewed was interesting. Basically, he said results will determine his future and he knows if he side does not produce he is gone. I admire his honesty.
