Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tapine is one of Canberra’s best players, I can’t imagine they’re moving him on.

That said, I hope it’s true.
Joseph Tapine is a madman. One of those guys with X factor who can do something dumb, then do something brilliant to win you a game off his own back. You want those types of player in your team. Has the odd stinker in him, but he is generally a consistently good player.

This Raiders fire sale is interesting.
Just checked zero tackle for off contract lists. Has it been mentioned that Jack Wighton has an option in his favour for the following two years so as of now he is effectively off contract.
Pretty much exactly the same contract as Newcastle and Kayln Ponga were harassed for how has this escaped the media?

Wighton has rejected his option and will be testing the market this year. He did it in the off season
 
I cannot believe that we are looking for improved recruitment yet in the last 4 pages I have seen names tossed up like Jesse Arthurs, Morgan Harper and Jack Wighton.

How about we not recruit from struggling sides and focus on the rated juniors from Penrith, Storm and Roosters that cannot get a gig due to the volume of talent these clubs have.

I have a lot or time for Tapine and believe Aitken has merit too - but again if true we are recruiting from teams already struggling.

That’s cause we fans are desperate for a signing..
 
Pretty sure he is off contract this year, very little talk of where his future lies from the media, so maybe no suitors. l would offer him a 2 year deal with the second year a mutual option to see if he can tow the line this time.
Dolphins after him

Info I’m getting is he may retire tho…..
 
Don't get your hopes up on Tapine... Not sure where that info is from but he is one player Canberra are not willing to unload at this stage. He is free to negotiate from November 1 though.

Matterson will not be back at the Tigers. He does not have many suitors in the NRL - for good reason.

Few have already mentioned but Aitken has popped up in the last few days and is looking likely as a second row/centre option. Jackson Topine and Matt Doorey have also been discussed. Topine could be a mid season acquisition and has been performing very well in reserve grade and has always had big raps. Doorey is a good friend of Stefano and Talau who would add to the back row stocks for next season.

Outside of the Tigers, Reece Walsh will be at the Dolphins next season. Dolphins also after Munster (no surprise there).

Farnworth is between Brisbane and Dolphins as he wants to stay in Brisbane. Cobbo looking like he will stay at Broncos.

Dogs have been enquiring about CNK who has been made available by his manager. Dont be surprised if Jarrod Croker retires at the end of this year and takes up a position within the Canberra club.
