Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Why on earth would Brent Read on nrl360 say that if dogs ask for Hastings
we would say ok what on earth for he and Douehi are good half's pairing

Is Staines really that much of an improvement at fullback? Surely the club might be a chance at jagging Jayden Campbell or the Hammer Tabuai-Fidow who can't get a start at their current clubs, Toddy P owes us a favour

Jayden Campbell is injured that’s why he’s not played by

Got big money players too like TPJ, JAC & Thompson...

Then other duds like Allan, Burns, Flanno.
They're all getting paid.

They must be planning a huge clean out.

Yea the only thing that makes sense is everyone else in that squad is on 200k or less .
Which doesn’t make any real sense because most of thier signings the last 4 years were desperation signings . They’ve been paying overs for a long time .
So how they’re under the cap is anyones guess really .

It baffles me as to why they haven’t even been given a chance to play together just drop brooks for Christ sake

The issue with Laurie is his defence . Everyone talks about line breaks etc , but his defence as in positioning and ability to organise the line makes it impossible to keep him .
There’s a reason our kick diffusion is the worst in the nrl .
If we are going to run a ball playing 13 it really negates what Laurie is good at , especially if the sweeping and linking is done by the opposite side half. By the time Laurie / fullback gets the ball he’s only operating in the far channel , usually 3 on 2 but over like 5m of total width .
What he doesn’t do , is support around the ruck . So many times I’ve watched joffa especially get his arms free , to see no one there .
From what I’ve seen of Staines what he provides , is what we lack .
But like I said this is all dependant on playing a ball playing 13:

All of that comes back to his tenacity....
He's lazy.
There's no competition in him... 98% of the time.
It's always park footy with mates to him.

On top of all of the above - He's very rarely in the frame of a try scored...
There's a halfback in there, Or an Outside Back
- Never the Fullback

He's not there - Because he doesn't wanna be there.
Watch him loafing across in the 2nd Souths game when Walker shifts left
- As cumbersome as you can possibly be.
Alex Johnson has scored a gazillion tries - Anyone who's half watched a game of Footy know how Souths left edge and Walker plays out there...
Walker is Daines' uncle - And he looked as surprised as anyone they put that many tries down that edge...

He's 150k Back up fullback (If that) - Same as he was at Penrith....
Nice kid, But he's not getting another gig outside the Tigers.

I still don't understand how clubs can keep signing players for following seasons when they will be over the cap .it's just not right .no way should we help the dogs at all

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Let's hope not ... I look forward
to the future, only way is up TF

Yes I to be positive ☺️

Many familey links to the tigers. Good footballer, could fill in anywhere, has speed and a football brain.

Connor Tracey would be a typical Sheens-type signing. Think Elford and Whatuira

🔮 st eelers are on fire
we could be circling BH n CR

Unless it helps us more

Been thinking for us to have a successful year next year Adam doughi is going to have to a cracking year Maby we should send him to America to see that specialist latrell seen it certainly wouldn’t hurt

 

[The SHADOW]

Good suggestion 6 months 2 late

Stephen Crichton looks to be heading to Dogs with ciraldo

Trell went to a hamstring guru, as far as I know AD has knee issues not Hamstrings

That's like sending a Toyota camery to a Ferrari shop.

It's all about who the player managers are with these coaching scum.

Unless it's Christian Crichton, I'm not sure how they'll fit him under the cap...

So they have JAC 650,000, Thompson 750,000 Pangai 650,00 Jackson 600,00Flanagan 350,00 Allen 350,000 I don’t know if these are correct but that’s what’s been said that’s 3,350,00 million of there cap for 6 players , so that leaves 290,000 for each of the remaining 24 players 🤔🥴

Doesn’t quite work like that.

Laurie lets the ball bounce so much. It's embarrassing. He's a big reason why our sets always get off to poor starts, and why we struggle to maintain field position.
