Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TillLindemann]

Wasn't there a rumoured swap with the dogs? I guess Napa might be ok if we can flog off some deadwood in return. Hardly the most exciting signing though.

 

[Plisskin]

As soon as Napa shows up to pre season, he will instantly be the best forward in our pack.

Madge is still on holiday. Who made the decisions on this supposedly new signing?

Phone call

Hartigan: Hey Madge, We can get Napa for $X per year for X years, do you want him?

Madge: Yes/No

 

[Roar_Power]

Should hear something in 48 hours?

Rumour is it's Dylan Napa.

Is this a gee up?

 

[finnzo]

I’m hoping it’s Thomson

After reading that i am going for a much needed vomit

Prop is probably the position we are strongest in and have the best depth. Would be a very Tigers thing to buy a washed up Prop right now.

 

[supercoach]

I’m hoping it’s Thomson

Iam hoping we have sorted a deal with the dragons for Lomax, but that’s about a million to one, like our chances of playing finals football in the next two years

 

[Tiger Tarl]

Surely it's got to be a lock or a centre...

I agree on Napa, but I think we are light on a big minute agile front rower. Tamou, Musgrove, Mikaele don't seem to last big minutes and we regularly lose the ruck. Stefano needs a quality front row partner to start and usually when Twal starts he gets smashed for the first 10 minutes.

Guys i think it's Ash Taylor....

People forgetting Doueihi probably misses at least the first month, Madden is unproven, Hastings, as much as people want to pump his tyres up is also unproven. And he’s cheap. It’s a low risk signing.

Fair enough, I'm on the Hastings train but we have the money and it's good to have extra options and competition, so I would be happy with this signing.

NRL Inside's strike rate is pretty average, I'll reserve my judgement until this is confirmed or disproven by others.

 

[avocadoontoast]

I'm keen for it. If he gets back to playing good football he'll be a great addition. If not he'll just be awful like the rest of the team.

 

[weststigerman]

I think I'd rather bring Benji back and I don't want Benji back.

Ugh, have heard this in two different places now :nauseated_face:

Hopefully it's Wrong and it's someone else. Seems to be a buzz around Ash Taylor's name and WT.

 

[JC99]

I did say Taylor was close to signing with us earlier this week, could be him. Him or Napa are pretty nothing signings, can't really get excited over them.

Bryce Cartwright has proven that away from the Gold Coast and on a reduced salary that if you can find the fire in the belly that you can turn your career around. Ash Taylor is one of the most talented halfback's I've certainly seen in my time. if Madge can get him to have a massive preseason and buy in, then who knows? it might prove a masterstroke.
