Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JC99]

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.

I can respect that lol

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.

Lomax and Butcher 48hrs?

Yeah he's built that team into a top 4 side but they are perennial chokers in the finals. Don't think he has what it takes to get them the title.
Hilarious tho 😁

Would be nice

 

[bathursttiger1]

Lomax and Butcher 48hrs?

Which year?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Lomax and Butcher 48hrs?

Lomax isn’t coming.

 

[Demps]

How's the media saying Eels don't have a decent roster...

Top 8 every year.
Their problem is the egomaniacs Moses and Gutho.
Toxic.

This week Brooks is swapping for Brown?

Who we swapping him for next week?

I remember when rumours used to have a decent chance of happening, now any fool mentions 2 players name in a tweet and it's a done deal.

 

[tiger05premier]

Lomax and Butcher 48hrs?


Which year?

In their retirement years

Anything further on Lomax @Demps? But quiet on the dragons forum about him

The Mole is at an all time low with his reporting.

Mentioned the Tigers are considering signing Israel Ogden from the Warriors. Hopefully someone tips him off that it happened about 12 months ago.

The other player mentioned is the Dragons player that Pom mentioned last week.

You just have to troll forums to be a journo.

I don,t often agree with the talking heads, but Kents comments regarding the Eels was spot on. Basiccally that the top sides have about 5 very good strike players, and the Eels do not. With the Tigers , we don't have one player that would be of equal standard to these players. We have a long way to go. 5 yrs at the minimum to obtain the players required to compete against the top sides. With the management, coaching and recruitment we have, it may take far longer.

Mate, what people are saying about Liddle is much worse. If you don't like it ..... we are all entitled to our opinions, this is a public forum.

I never said you weren't entitled to your opinion, I said that that particular opinion is awful.

Also, I'm a fan of Liddle. But some of his critiques are warranted. And in the spirit of opinions, he and Simpkin should be sharing the hooking role.
