Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[yeahcaz]

Spencer, Pele and Luki…… now we’re talking

Give Stefan a little platform to base some of his work off

Know Franklin Pele personally, might be hard to sway him away from Cronulla as let’s just say they look after him pretty well $$$ - BUT was promised more game time last year and wasn’t given as much as he had hoped he’d receive…. so maybe just maybe

Them letting go of woods doesn’t really do us a lot of favours. Couple of my mates know him too, said he’s always been that big

all of this talk to get woods/Napa and Scott... don't be disappointed if that happens. take a grain of salt with it.

No chance of getting both Napa and Woods.

Getting rid of Woods would have been designed to keep the kid.

Sims staying at St George for 2022.

Good outcome.

Woods likely to be a sea eagle.

Makes sense. Des is the one who signed him at the Dogs, so he’s obviously a fan.

Eh yes and no. Probably was the only player I would’ve taken this year but much like Taylor, it’s no massive loss

 

[GNR4LIFE]

So that’s Sims and probably Woods of off the list. Elliot and Scott’s odds have just shrunk

Taupau if he finds a new deal is free to leave too apparently.

Maybe the Tigers can take the NRL by surprise and sign no NRL first grade players be a true underdog for season 2022














Waiting to announcements until after the G/F so that it doesnt upset the players in the G/F who are comming to the Tigers

Where did all the Spencer Lenui talk come from (a couple of weeks back)?
Maybe he's a player we have tabled an offer to.

He's got one year left on his contract, on 300k. Mostly featured off the bench, playing 10-20 mins a game and wants more. Panthers have reportedly admitted they might need to cut him loose and re-sign two youngsters on 150k instead.

He's very close to Blore, and also mates with Laurie and I think played junior reps with Stefano too.

He's quite attainable. Offer him 400-425 for the next two years with an option and get the boys to put in a good word. Then push for immediate release.

Don’t think “boys put in good words”. They all realise it’s a business. And any club that tells its players to get in the ears of opposition players are unprofessional.

Don’t really rate Spencer. Would rather have Franklin Pele from the sharks. Massive unit and mobile.

I agree, Pele is similar to Stefano.

Wow he looks the goods! Pretty amazing post contact metres and late offload.

What's his defence like?

I know nothing else about Pele but if he's half that effective in the NRL, he and Stef together could be massive bookends.

Off contract at end of next year. Available as of November 1to table a contract

Reminds me of Sharron except in reverse

What possibly could Elliott offer to WTs?

Something has to give at the Dragons?
Have they announced Suli yet?

It’s not so much cap space or squad space but there will be a few extra guys miss out on making their week to week 17.

They’ve signed / rumoured to sign.
Suli
Scott
Molo
Su’a
Burgess
Moses

Out of the above surely
Suli, Molo, Moses and Su’a come into their 17 with Scott and Burgess as possibles/probables.

I thought young Tyrell Sloane was impressive and well worth an approach to the Dragons.

@teddy23 if you know him, can you disclose if we have shown any interest?

Don’t think we’ve come in with a formal offer, but I do think paths have been crossed in terms of discussions - I don’t know that much about it as he keeps it to himself.

Sharks do rate him highly, and promised him a lot more game time then he actually received don’t know why he didn’t get much opportunity tbh - they basically have given him one of the new units next to shark park for him and his partner so they do treat him well

Maybe if we come in with more money and additional game time it’s not mission impossible - all depends on what Fitzgibbon sees in him

Rate him and young Jayden Campbell

With Brimson coming back into the team he could be very gettable also

Well that’s the next step for them.
Extend; Sloane, Sullivan, Amone. I think they will.
Sloane will probably start fullback round 1 unless Lomax moves there. Sullivan and Amone will either play 14, 6 or 18th man rotating with MBye. The Fegai’s have competition with the above new recruits and there is also Cody Ramsey.

Keeping Sims and Recruiting Su’a you have Bird, Kerr, Ford and JDB all capable of backrow spots.

Whilst new recruit Molo probably goes straight in alongside Lawrie or JDB (if bird was to play lock) then that leaves Faumassuli, Kerr, Burgess, as front row depth.

Lots of depth / competition for spots.
Maybe some un happy campers, watch this space.
