Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Signed with the Warriors they lost him first I think then not long after we announced we signed Papali’I

Ah ok👍. For this year?
Warriors are starting to assemble a solid squad. Still think they are on a losing bet by having Shaun Johnson as their 7 though.

Yeah crazy

I'm thinking when the media give us salary information we should take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Fade.To.Black]

Yeah I do remember that I also remember the interview he did saying that Ivan was sorry he kept him at the Tigers and he just laughed so I highly doubt Tigers would be willing to take him back, and as you said concussions have become a major factor for him not manly teams are gonna be willing to sign a player that keeps getting them maybe he won’t even be in the NRL after this year

Matterson has burnt a fair few bridges wherever he goes. He'll have a target on his head for sure, don't think he'd have too many admirers within the NRL playing ranks

I still have time for big T, still green. Agree with posters regarding his situational awareness and hands, he seems to be working hard .. (I bet Demps he'll score before Twal)

Has all the makings of a top athlete ( unlike @tony soprano 🤣 )

Just doesn't seem to ever stand out.

Needs aggression. Look at a bloke like Radley, probably gives away 15kgs or more to Mikaele but the damage they create you'd think it was the other way round.
Good forwards have nearly always got plenty of aggro in their game.
Need to give Thomas some fish-guts milkshakes before he runs out on game day.

1 good hit up followed by 10 missed tackles and 4 dropped balls as the donnie @Sausagesorcerer said...

Complex case.
Looks a beast but has minimal impact or beast like attributes.

He makes some good hit-ups but overall he doesn't do enough does he.

Contract year, so he might.

Nope.

Looks fit this year though and hopefully has a crack.

I know he's an option for the dolphins but Wayne will expect more of him, even from the bench.

The Sopranos.

Olivia looked the goods back then though!

I still haven't gotten around to watching The Sopranos yet. Will get onto it one day, I'm sure it is a good one.

Question for tigers forumers ???
Upgrade MADDEN or upgrade RUA

Easy Answer:
MADDEN has Brooks and Hastings in front of him. Hastings previously has made Todd Carney look like a team player, while he is stable now there is a chance something opens up. 2 positions in the halves.

RUA has: Simpkins, Jacob Liddle and Api Koroisau in front of him. One position at hooker and maybe a bench spot. There is also Tannious coming up.

Both Simpkins and Liddle have had a chance to prove themselves. If Rua suddenly outperforms them both then happy to see them go or train into other positions.

It's a meritocracy. We can't have 4 halfbacks and we have 4 candidates with Koroisau coming in.
