Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

If I was the Tigers I'd be making some enquiries about Tane Edmed, the standoff at the Waratahs and is about to come off contract.

He's got a great kicking game, throws a good pass, can tackle and is big enough to handle the tackling that a half has to handle.

He was in the Tigers Development Squad and wanted to stay. "Sorry Tane we think you're a hooker and not a five-eight" (Adam Hartigan). Out went Tane Edmed into the waiting arms of the Waratahs. I mean seriously?

He's also the son of former Tiger Steve Edmed.

Many players would play under Bellamy anywhere.

Not with this squad they wouldn’t

Also mentioned nikora and Pele were on their way but..... makes sense but wouldn't look too far into it.

So in other words the guy just throws darts at a dartboard for his tips.

I wouldn't pay Brooks a cent to play at another club. Make him play with us until he resigns, forfeit the money to play at another club, similar to Reynolds.

I’m all for selecting the least bad option and chipping in to move forward but we now have nothing to lose. We are playing for the spoon and brooks form is worsening. Newcastle played the game thinking they can get an ok half with good defense for 500k. If brooks wants out that his choice and can suffer a pay cut.

I hate paying 4 other players at other teams. Why should he get to eat his cake too. If he wants to leave there's the door

He said his info came from a mate who knows where that guy got the info.

It's a good pod tho

Brooks to Newcastle seems to be on the cards. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Klemmer move the other way to make the money work.

Another pensioner past his best. Not surprised

Good idea. I saw the jets v magpies game. Jets had Trindall paired in the halves with that ex Aussie 7s rugby guy, don't know his name, but he was pretty bloody good.

A team running last is not going to offload one of its best players to pay freight and pick up a prop on the way down.

Brooks will still be here end if year 2022 at least

Was Hartigan at the club then?

It’s almost annoying how good Tane Edmed is. The gifted 19-year old is arguably one of Australian sport’s most talented teenagers and has turned his...

Lachie Miller. Edit, what demps said

Their kicking game terrorised us.

Offload Brooks whatever the cost. He does way more damage being here than just financial damage.

Wouldn't say he is one of our best players by a long stretch.

If we extend garner and sign jack bird our back row stocks really aren’t that bad we would have papalli bird as starters both can play 80 easy then blore and garner and back ups is that really that bad?

Please not Bird. We don't need a high maintenance player in our midst.

We need a solid good defensive first grader who turns up every week and that’s him I hate to say but there isn’t much left on the market

I would like to see us retain Garner for the right price.

Not a game breaker, but we're very low on depth in the back row in 2023 and he's done a decent job in the centres.

I agree, for the right price I'd be keeping him.
Don't forget that he was injured coming into this season and to be thrown into backline so early couldn't help with his cohesion.
