Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Newtown]

Hastings- former man of steel , led Salford one of the worst teams in esl to a grand final, followed that up by leading wigan to a grand final last year , one of Wigan's best this year

Ash taylor - played 16 games , inconsistent, disappears in games , is scared to take the line on since his hip injury , looks like sloth from the goonies

I know who I'm taking and its not sloth I agree with @Russell if Hastings is halfback and given the reigns he will be in conversation for halfback of the year

Ash taylor is a clone of Brooks

But a fair bit smarter.

Imagine if qe r all wrong and its spencer liu

Woodsie.....

 

[Telltails]

So Ash Taylor not going to the Warriors...?

 

[avocadoontoast]

We’d have been better off with Taylor than Hastings.

Have you become a fortune teller? You already know how Hastings is going to go next year?

In GNR’s defence there have been times where Taylor has outplayed the best halves in the NRL. Hastings hasn’t.

Huh? What lol. Tsylor has outplayed the best halves in the NRL? Mate he was hyped up more then brooks and has played about the same number of good games as brooks. He’s gone from a million dollar contract to not being able to get a contract for $250k by 16 nrl teams. I think I will happily take my chances with Hastings over Taylor. No one knows what we will get with Hastings but we sure as hell know that we will get brooks 2.0 with Taylor .

It's true, go back a few years and have a look at some of his games. There's a reason why he got paid $1m.

Go back 8 years and you will see why brooks is on $800k now.

I actually don’t mind Taylor at $250k . At best he proves people wrong and delivers on his potential, at worst he is a great back up half in reggies.

I agree, i'm not saying i'd pay big money but $250k is low risk/high reward. And let's be honest, he won't need to be shooting the lights out to get a spot.

Things are awfully quiet in Tiger town…..
Maybe it’s a Ghost town as everybody has gone on holidays…….

 

[Aceshigh]

It’s Elliott apparently, the club thinks he is a good fit

 

[Red88_Tiger]

So rumours were replacing a couple of reserve graders
Napa -upgrade on packer
Taylor - upgrade on Walters
Woods - where bears 💩

 

[TillLindemann]

Looking at it at a squad perspective we are losing Mybe and Walters who both cover halves and hooker and are bringing in Hastings and Taylor (rumoured).

Based off ability and likely salaries I'd say we would be making an upgrade.

Good point. I had already forgotten Walters existed.

Better not be Napa the guy is a myth

 

[ConePuncher]

Can you all kindly get a life and stop bickering on an internet forum.

Since when was Kei upgraded to a top 30 contract - I didn't see that anywhere ?

Automatic upgrade of development contract?

NRL official contract list says otherwise, it’s weird.
Says that Hoffman has been upgraded but Kei hasn’t.

https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2020/10/31/two-players-added-to-2021-development-squad/

Judging by this article posted before the start of the year it seems like Kelma and Hoffman were always automatically going into the Top 30 in 2022 whereas Kei wasn’t.

 

[Goanna57]

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

I see you are extremely optimistic

 

[Eyeofthetiger 0]

Think it’s Tariq Sims

I thought Kei had another year on development
