Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[hsvjones]

So do most halves including top players. Look at good old Cleary in SOO. He was terrible. Luiai is worse.

I don't know what to do about our halves. I don't want us to go to market. I'd rather go to market for a gun fullback. I also think Hastings is a better 7 and Doueihi is a better 6.

9. Api
7. Hastings
6. Doueihi
1. Suallii/Manu/Latrell/Tommy Turbo --> a big fullback who can light us up.

The problem is I don't know where we can get a fullback like that. Signing any of those players would be extremely difficult.

Laurie to me is similar to Brooks. They are both decent players but I'm not convinced they are good enough to play in the spine of a team that can win the comp.

The problem is we'd still have to get out forwards right but I think they can do that.

Agree we need a top line fullback as we already have 6,7,9 covered either way.
With Laurie I am not sure if its 2nd year drop off or Injury or just not a top line full back but for me I want a Fullback that averages like 150-200m a game and been involved and not 100-120m like Laurie. Maybe because our forwards get pushed back he doesn't get the time to get meters like most fullbacks. IDK but Forwards and a top FB is a massive want for me.

The Tigers are set to enter discussions with out of favour Panthers winger Charlie Staines about a switch to Concord.

Staines is contracted to the Panthers for 2023, but has fallen down the pecking order at Penrith behind Taylan May and Origin star Brian To’o.

The Daily Telegraph’s Dave Riccio reported on Triple M that the Tigers are interested in Staines to boost their wing and fullback stocks.

“The Tigers are having a good look at Charlie Staines the Panthers flyer,” Riccio said on Triple M.

“He is an absolute speedster. He has been playing on the wing. He has scored 22 tries in 32 games. He has got a phenomenal strike rate.

“This would be a play from the Tigers just to add a little more potency and speed to the backline.

“But Staines also has an ambition to play fullback. The Tigers still haven’t locked down their fullback in Daine Laurie.

“Charlie Staines and the Tigers are set to have discussions in relation to moving to Concord.

“He is on contract at the Panthers next season, so he would have to get an early release, but don’t rule it out.”

The 21-year-old scored 14 tries in 21 games last season, but missed out on the Panthers grand final side and has only scored twice in nine games this year.

Only if he brings Spencer Leniu with him.

Leniu and Martin would be grand....

Tim Sheens is reportedly keen to keep Brooks at the Tigers, but incoming assistant and 2025 head coach Benji Marshall is said to be of the belief that a new club for the No.7 might be in the best interests of all parties

Let's get it, Benji!!
@tigre My brah

Tigers aiming for Mitchell Moses, ends up with Moses Mbye

All praise to Benji.
Get it done for the team !

I'm not angry, just miffed why we keep on getting stung with rubbish stories.

Journos know that Tiger's supporters are easy clickbait, but this ongoing narrative needs to change.

I will point out one thing - if you click on these types of stories, if you read them, if you complain about them... well that's exactly the intended outcome of clickbait.

So assuming that the Tigers will never be able to completely stem the tide of stories being released, because Tigers are always big news (for bad or good), then the main thing that Tigers fans can do is not click on clickbait, and help stem the demand for rubbish stories.

No I don't do that, I rely on the intelligent folks on our forum.

I think Tigers will get him.

Probably take a month to see some movement

Some IG fan page.

Not a bad result 😉

Also under the new regime - all heads will be shaved.

No flashy haircuts any more.

And he was such a clean cut nice looking dude back in those days.
Even the shirt he had on with the Tiger proudly featured looked great on him.
What turned him into such an outright A***hole.
Even though he could be very good for Brooks, I hope we never see him in WT's colours again.
What on earth was Benji thinking to suggest bringing back a grub like him.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Absolutely agree.
Putting up big $$$'s for Manu as a FB puts Easts in a conundrum, as they already have the Blues/Kangaroos FB.
With Benji and Tim now onboard, Manu may just be swayed.
Offer him $1M and put the burners under the Rorters.

I think that you would have more chance of getting Teddy than Manu.

 

[earl]

I think that you would have more chance of getting Teddy than Manu.

I'd take the Turd on 300k per year. If he really wants to prove himself that is a more than fair contract.

I can't stand him. I can't Moses either.

 

[TigerGene]

Teddy is just about cooked.....no thanks.

 

[Demps]

Teddy is elite.
Best of the best.

Surely has a few years left in him too.
If we could get him back - wow!

Moses personality didn't change with the colour of his kit...
- I'd suggest maybe your perception of him did.
