Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Elderslie_Tiger]

I have a feeling we will sign another Parra player. unsubstantiated Of cause , just feel we might jag another after Papali’i

Oregon Kaufusi thanks

I wrote that last night after many beers.
My info is very dodgy and for all i know it could be just old Papali’ news, as it comes from someone who know FA about NRL at a BBQ.

At my family Xmas party BBQ chat yesterday. My brother is a Parra supporter and a cousin (who is an AFL supporter but does know someone connected to the WTs) He was telling us the Tigers had signed a Parra player.
We (my brother -Parra supporter and I said) “yeah Papali’i.
Unfortunately this guy know FA about NRL. “ said, hmm not sure it that was the name. It was polynesian though. Me and my brother started drilling him. I said “was it Paulo” ect. he wasn’t sure. Said it sounded more Islander than that.
Anyway DT journalist have run articles on less than this., I’m holding out some hope at it was someone other than Papali’i.

Rumour coming from a cousin who doesn't watch league or know the name of the person we've reportedly signed is the reason this thread has cracked 7562 pages. Hope he's right though, suck it Parra


I reckon it was Paulo he was talking about.

Done deal apparently.

No No No not another done deal????

Per inside source. Have a pal who works for the graphic design department for the wests tigers and he has told me that he saw Junior Paulo being given a tour of the facilities by Justin Pascoe and lee haginpantelis. looks pretty close at this stage

We have a whole graphic design department?

Yes. They designed Pascoe's hairdo

And Lee’s suits…

word is he is simply shopping himself around so Parra increase their offer…don’t get to excited about this one….

Of course. They all do it. Paulo visiting us would make Parras offer go up 50-75k a year.

Just read on zerotackle that cotric and Thompson are about to sign with tigers.

Check the date. Pretty sure it's an old article.

You would need 2 hairdresser's at least to do that

Just have to see what happens I know him and Nofa are friends so maybe he still could come although if he did I’m sure that would be the only reason why

Wouldn't Paulo cost 800k to sign?

 

[jrtiger]

I understand Paulo is an out and out gun but I what I can't wrap my head around is that if the rumours are true that we're willing to throw $800k at him but not say $600-650k for Luke Thompson. obviously different calibre of player but I thought Sheens didn't want to bend the cap out of shape by spending too much coin on front rowers?

No, they have a Digital & Graphic Designer but he falls under the Media and Communications department.

The Wests Tigers do not have a graphic design department.

For us to have a legitimate chance yes it would cost us about that much

We must have a bit of money in our 2023 cap we do have 20 spots filled up for 2023 at this stage

So either the info is fake or the guy got the department wrong

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Has there been a signing celebration party plastered over Instagram. Can’t believe anything till then.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Paulo would be a great pick up but could we really afford to have over 1.5m tied up in the front row. I’m a big believer that forwards win you matches but surely that is too much for two props, will be hard to balance the rest of the pack.

 

[Eternal Tiger]

We would still have approx $1m to spend for 2022. We're already a weak squad, if we don't spend to our limit, well finish no higher than 15th. If promoting youth is our only option, 2022 will be worse than 2021 realistically.
