Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tigers_Wests]

Dave Riccio on NRL 360 just said Madden's management approached Raiders to play in halves while Fogarty is out. Raiders declined at this point, sticking with Schneider. Nothing stating Tigers are interested in doing a deal.

However, surely the only way Tigers would even contemplate letting him go this year, is if it is a short term loan to get NRL experience and we could recall at any point. I think they would also want to lock him up for at least 2023 before loaning out.

How could you forget Momorovski?

Very easily...
Wasn't Quality or Established when we signed him....

He's had some success... He's second string wherever he goes.
Shoved out to wing for Billy Smith this week...
- A premiership player, Moved out of position for a Rookie coming back from a big injury

And could be the one to make way when Suaalii gets back

Douhie's problem is he is too versatile, he makes a good centre and lock number 6 and at a pinch if desperate fullback. He is also coming off two knee injuries
Maybe the Brooks Hastings com

Don’t misunderstand me? I love the way AD plays. I love the value he brings to the team, and I know the guy is a winner.
Just saying, we have better suited to the 6. AD had some time at 6 and regardless of what you read in the news, it wasn’t working. Then Madge looked for someone who didn’t like getting tackled, so that he could get some clean ball to our outside backs, which also obviously didn’t work.
The way to win games under these free flowing rules is to build a wall naturally, but also make that ball do a lot of work in attack, similar to what we were doing in 2005.
Playing 2 off the ruck gives you extra time that you can’t afford to waste.

good post
Douhie is a good player for sure in the 17 just think we have better options at 6 for the team

Sheens wants tapine.
Nearly had him earlier but raiders wanted a swap that was turned down.
Maybe this is Sheens still trying?

They specified it was Madden's management that approached the Raiders

Bit harsh... played semi finals for the Roosters before us. Second string with three premiers. I'd say that's reasonable..

Adam is our best player and

Maybe Sheens had a chat. I can't vouch for the tigers side just what I hear from the raiders

He had only played 2 games with the Roosters when he came to the Tigers - 1 being a semi-final.
He only played 6 games at the Storm

Sounds like Madden's management has been shopping him around. Unsurprising when the club has Doueihi, Hastings and Brooks all signed up for a couple years

Schneider is a better player than Madden

Billy Smith is a very good centre wish we could sign him

Like I said....

Not saying you're wrong mate,
But if your mate of a mate who works for a guy that works with other footballers knows this

- So does everyone else in the game...

Maybe his Mate is Kevin Bacon.

Ill take your word on it

There was also a story that the week after he signed and we played the Dogs, after the game told Tolman that Tolman was wearing his jersey. Fast forward a year, and the Dogs moved Woods on and Tolman kept his spot. Then fast forward again a couple of years, they both find themselves at the Sharks, and again Woods gets moved on and again Tolman retains his spot.

Never tangle with a polar bear.

Had 2 knee reco's though hasn't he? That's a massive risk to take, signing someone with that history.

Here we go again.
Even without a ball being kicked we are in the headlines again,what is going on with our club…Really.
Up here in Newcastle nothing but positive things being said about their club but nothing like that with ours.
Why is this so???

with all that, he is still a better player than any current WT centre. By miles!
