Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tedesco speaks regularly with Marshall, and the Tigers’ legend even reached out to him about a homecoming.
“Benji lives down the road from me, and before he was even announced as head coach at the Tigers, he texted me about coming back,” Tedesco said.

“I never thought he was serious at the time. He was appointed coach and then all these stories came out about me [returning].
“I’m close with Benji but I’m very happy at the Roosters. Robbo also signed on for another five years this year, and that’s a big factor for me. He’s the best coach I’ve ever had. I can’t thank him enough for not only what he does for my game and confidence on the field, but how he has helped me as a leader off the field.”

Tedesco open to positional move to keep all-star band together

As he brings up 200 NRL games, James Tedesco is aware of Joey Manu and Joseph Suaalii’s fullback aspirations – and how he thinks it could eventually work.

Agree, but would rather Angus Chrighton and Tapine. That pair would be game changing. Would also mean that we wouldn't need to pay overs for other players.

Can you imagine if last year, when we were apparently flush with cash, we offered overs and only bought 3 players, Burton, Hynes and Finucane? And then got Api and Papi for next year?
 
Since we are looking to pair papa with a new second rower why not go for Liam martin he is only 25 and has played in a few finals series and played for Nsw a few times as well the only problem is we would most likely have to pay overs from him but when your a team like the tigers that's what you have to do to sign players

Can be approached from November 1 too I am pretty sure. Definitely would improve our pack. I really rate him.

We have the worst roster in the comp, and a horrible spine with all positions up for grabs next season except the 9 with Api. We have the worst backline in the comp. We have one of the weakest/most inconsistent packs in the comp. Our defence across the board is atrocious. We have no support play.
We're currently about 13 players short of an elite side.

C'mon mate. We're only 12 players away with Api coming

Maybe the worst roster we have a handful of quality players if fit
Laurie , Naden, Douehi, Utoikimano , to go with Api and hopefully Papalii
We also have a few satisfactory players in terms of ability
Joffa, Musgrove, Nofo, Madden ,Hastings,NuBrown,and perhaps Twal
That's 13 imo but need about 12 more
 
"The Daily Telegraph can reveal the Panthers have begun talks with Madden and are hoping to lure him to Penrith as Sean O’Sullivan’s replacement."

Madden would be crazy not to jump at the opportunity imo

Or we keep Brooks only until end of his contract next year & transition Laurie to halfback (next Ewan McGrady) with Hastings lock & Doeuhi 5/8 and Tedesco returns in 24 as fullback 😳

I think Laurie has said to the club that he will leave the club if we play him as a five eight or halfback
