Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Aubanon]

So what is the word on Israel Ogden @Aubanon ?

Not in the loop with Ogden - sorry mate

Does anyone in the know if Jordan Hill, has signed with Mackay Cutters in QLD. ??

Why do you ask that?

A mate said that he is joining the cutters, don’t know if he is taking the piss or what. That’s why I asked the question. I was hoping The Pom or someone in the know had any information about it.

That's pretty obscure on both counts.

Why would Hill join a QRL side? Why wouldn't he either re-sign with us or join another local team at NRL or NSWRL level?

Also how does your mate here about the signings of injured jersey flegg players to non NRL affiliated clubs? Unless he works at Mackay it doesn't sound like the sort of rumour that would just do the rounds.

He has signed with the cutters, which includes a pathway to the cowboys. He signed with them coz they not only offered more money, but also lined up a suitable job for him and accommodation.

We're not talking massive dollars but our mob made zero effort to keep him.

I hope he kills it up there and makes it thru to the cowboys.

Jeez I bet those few hartigan supporters are finding it harder and harder it to support him with another bone head decision like this

You'd be pleased to know (Sarcasm) that Jordan's family weren't even dealing with Hartigan...

I think the veneer is starting to wear off

Very disappointed to lose Jordan. I wish him all the very best.

Great footballer and great kid.

Unfortunately it's true. He's signed. WT did nothing to try and keep him. Absolutely disgusted with this sore excuse for a club right now.

If only the TRADE RAGE button existed in real life Rugbeh Leegue..

I don't know why we never traded Russell Packer to keep Grant in the 1st place.

This was an option?

Anything’s possible in Forumland.

Hartigan seems to be going great guns, seriously what are we doing

The Wests Tigers could reportedly part ways with second-rower Luke Garner this off-season which could free up money to chase unwanted Dragons star Tariq Sims.

Brent Read reported on Triple M that the Tigers could look to offload Garner before next season, while the club has also been linked with a play for the Blues Origin enforcer.

“There has been some talk around Luke Garner for a couple of years now and he was linked with Manly last year,” Read said on Triple M.


“There has been a bit of a freeze on player movement at the Tigers while they resolve the coaching situation, but Luke Garner’s name has appeared on the radar of some other NRL clubs.

“My sense is he may leave over the off-season and it depends on which club is interested. Manly is a club that has been linked with previously.

“At the moment Manly don’t have the room to fit him in but if Marty Taupau happens to go and Marty has been given permission to explore his options on the open market then maybe that brings Manly into play.

“They have a relationship with Luke Garner. He played under-20s with Tom Trbojevic so he is good friends with Trbojevic and I believe he still lives on the Northern Beaches.

“That is one to watch and it will hinge on the coaching situation at the Tigers and also what happens with Marty Taupau and if he finds another club and if he decides to move in the off-season.”

Read also believes Garner’s potential defection could free up space for the Tigers to chase Sims or former Bulldogs back-rower Adam Elliott.

“I wonder if it also has implications for either Tariq Sims or Adam Elliott,” Read said.

“The Tigers have been linked with both those guys. If they are willing to let Luke Garner go that would suggest that perhaps they think that one of those guys is going to arrive.

“So maybe that is a hint for a potential destination for Sims or Elliott.”

This is a BS quote from a headline grabbing Thief. Tigers have a surplus in their salary cap to purcahase Sims if they want, dont need to unload anybody. Read is clearly a DS !

Very disappointed in this decision.

I know your all spitting chips about a jersey flegg player who spent the whole year injured and has moved onto that nrl powerhouse Mackay Cutters. On the other hand the article this indicated we have kept Scolari, Dillon, Rua N, Pole, Mansfield, Tumeth, Matamura. When you have a great group of juniors come through you can only keep so many

Hill is one name that’s been mentioned here in spades, probably more so than any of the others so its fair a lot are disappointed over losing one of the better ones

You're so right mate. I mean how could the club justify spending a whopping $15k to keep at worst a gun KOE winger who runs the 100 in the mid 10's.

I mean being such a successful club, we obviously can't keep all our talent.

So Dillon is definitely staying?

A Sims for Garner swap makes us a better club as long as it’s only 1-2 year deal.

 

[Holden]

I generally have an aversion to these cast offs. I dont see them as the way forward but I can see some merit in Scott (with all the necessary contract clauses), Sims and possibly Peachey.

Avoid at all costs Woods and Elliott

Thank you.........STOP bringing up Sharron.......... opportunity to be a respected clubman has long gone DONT need more retirement villages

I listened to Phil Gould and he commented at the right price he would be a good buy. With all those posts suggesting we lack leadership, well here is our chance to get some. Sheens would know better than anyone what value he could bring to our club.

Phil Gould is very biased, always has been, and everything he says suits his own personal agenda. I have no idea what his personal agenda is, but it's likely pointed towards Bulldogs, maybe Panthers, and definitely not Wests Tigers.

You could argue that WT missed a golden opportunity in attempting to recruit Phil Gould.
He LOVES the tigers, never played for them but always talks fondly of them and loves the nostalgia of the club.
It would of been a sweet justice for him to land at direct competitor to the Panthers and Ivan since they advised him his services are no longer required. I would of thought of all the opportunities, Warriors, Bulldogs or Us. Getting direct revenge on the Panthers by making the little cat roar louder in the West would of been a huge drive.
Well we’ll never know.

Loves the tigers? Lol we haven't been listening to the same things haha

Publicly yes, in commentary he raves about Leichhardt, Benji and the style they were known to play with during Sheens time there.
Privately I wouldn’t know.
What have you heard?

dude everyone in media raves about benji's prime and what sheens did back in the day. I haven't heard anything privately, publicaly everyone LOVES talking about those days when it comes to the tigers. Not isolated to gould, and not spoken about about on a positive note either.

Wake up lol.
