Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Club is at massive risk of losing another Flegg player in Jordan Hill - Winger.

They have lobbed an extremely low-ball figure (4 figure sum......) with the excuse that he is coming back from an ACL. He is ahead of schedule for rehab even with covid.

There are already better offers for him elsewhere - would be disappointed to see him go.

Similar story to that being told by Ilias who is debuting for souths this weekend.

Our future success relies on identifying and retaining the best young talent.

Hill, Movoni, Rizk, Dillon all sound like they are leaving. Can someone name any of the junior talent that we have actually re-signed?

I am really starting to question Hartigan. Seems to operate behind the scenes with no accountability around what our roster has become.

"Valuing" players and ensuring that we do not pay "overs", seems to mean offering unders which is costing us players. He needs to realise that he isn't at the roosters anymore.

What we do need is a backup fullback and a backup winger for next season. Another quality centre and quality prop would be great

Hastings and Doueihi and even Duffy (I think he might get development contract).

Can someone tell me how we never held on to Mavoni Tuifua? What was the club thinking?

Pole was prioritised.

Tuifua,
Overweight, unfit and unlikely.

So we kept the better of the two? Mavoni looked decent.

Standard People turning on him cause he left

If he stay would be our future

That guy is the hardest runner in the club.

I agree with you.

We will be revisiting this next year after he tears us a new one after we play Canterbury next year..

Mavoni could for sure become a good player but you can't keep all your juniors, we've got lots of promising young forwards. We won't know if it's a good decision or not for many years

Nine reporting Tariq Sims is free to leave dragons. Two minds on him - feel he is the type of forward we need but age and consistency a big concern.

Don't really rate him to be honest. Played well in a dominant blues team but has been pretty average all year for dragons, 31 as well.

I'd pass. I'm happy with a second row rotation of Tuilagi, Blore, Luciano and Garner for 2022.

Swap Garner out for Sims is a no brainer. Garner has already reached his ceiling (he’s not a bad player but he’s not a stater when our quality comes through). Sims teachers the younger ones who are already playing minutes how to be a professional. I think this would be a great move. The have plenty of young talent, we just need some better experience around them. These kids aren’t going to learn how to win by themselves

Experience is useless if they let the team down on the field and he would, he would also slow the development of one of our rookie forwards as they won't be getting as much game time if he plays. Just seems unnecessary to me

The club for years has obsessed with signing a "forward leader" thinking it will suddenly fix our problems instead of actually fixing things

If they wanted a forward leader they would have signed Finnucane.

I think we have a forward leader in Stef - a solid pre season next year and the guy could be anything. We need another no nonsense hard nosed prop to support him - a JWH type would be excellent. Not too many around unfortunately.

 

[Don Kershane]

I think Stefano should be our next captain. He doesn't back down, seems to have a presence on and off the field and doesn't mind giving a team mate a dirty look when they stuff up unlike the touchy feely leaders we have now.

Will be very annoyed if we lose Jordan.

Players off contract 2021 by position.The kitchens pretty bare

Surely nicholls has signed elsewhere hence why souths haven't re-signed and waiting for season over to announce

Adam Kieran is good

Adam Keighran and Drew Hutchison. Are they on contract for next year? They've been great for the Chooks. Keighran excellent at centre and Hutchison is playing at a level that Brooks could only dream of


Keighran can kick goals even when they don’t go between the posts.

What was that about...
Looked like a miss but was confirmed ?

Why aren't the goal posts black?
Wouldnt that make it easier to see what side of the post a white ball has gone?

Something like this? @MAGPIES1963
Or if the posts are too bright then they should turn off the the floodlights ?

Yep good one @FinestTigers thats the idea.
And having black posts makes them look a bit dramatic.

What about flashing LED lighting lights? Kickers could pilot the ball like a landing strip

Go to the top of the class @Harvey Awesome suggestion.

😂😂

Six best.... best eh, not a lot of competition clearly.
At least our boy MCK made an appearance.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Nofo is a great bargaining chip for a possible trade.

Wonder if Manly would take him for Garrick or Saab ? 😅

We went after Saab but then pulled out because of JAC….

Saab had a rocky start but came good.
Looks a star.

They did recently sign Dudley Dotoi.
Could have something to do with it.

Plenty of room for both. Hill is an exceptional player. We don't have many of those but plenty of cash.

I propose this thread be closed pending the outcome of the review? 😂

Hi guys, Can any of you guys close to the club confirm Luke Brooks was given permission to negotiate with other clubs and has agreed to join Canberra from 2022, 23,24. I heard this last night from someone involved with junior reps (not at tigers).

 

[boonboon]

Can't believe people are worried about losing an injured winger from Jersey Flegg. We had a winning JF team without him so obviously had good wingers anyway a lot of which have been talked about here plus we already have a bunch of young outside backs.

On the Brooks Canberra piece it wouldn't shock me at all and think Hastings, Douehi, Madden would do as well if not better in the halves. If true lets hope we get a raider in return. I'd like Hodgson for a yr or 2 to mentor Simpkins or Tapine
