Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Facts....

However, whole team is reserve grade standard.

If I was Papa and Api geez it would be hard to be excited about moving across.

If I’m Hastings & Joe it’s hard to see why they would stay.

We have a very long way to go squad wise just to be competitive.

He is so bad though. He can't tackle. He is the biggest defensive liability in the comp. He can barely put in a half decent kick. He can't ball play. His running game is great but he could do that in the centres or in the backrow.

I've been a fan but he is losing me big time.

Anyone stating he is worth 500k is clearly not a Tigers fan.

All the things you say has always been there with him in the front line. He is actually a very lazy player.

But some have wanted him as captain for ages.
He isn’t captain material not even close.

We really need some signings over the next month. Players who play with pride

 

[batboy]

Yep I agree with that. Still don't think that's the main problem.
Losing his mate JH could be a factor but marquee players get over that.
Don't get me wrong Shadow, AD is a keeper but we have to get his head right.
Let's see how he goes tonight and I hope I eat humble pie 👍

This is ageing well….

If we still haven’t re-signed Joffa, I’d use that money plus some to get Lodge or Klemmer.

But alas our coach doesn’t want front rowers

Worst game since....last game

I'll take the opinion of Craig Bellamy and Frank Ponisi and the Rugby League media with regards to Douehi's talent thanks. He's our best player by miles

I said this earlier. It's hilarious.

There needs to be a line in the sand now. Doueihi is nowhere near as good as Brooks. It's not close. Brooks is barely worth 500k.

This thread should be locked down for a while, no one’s coming to this rabble of a club

 

[tigerballs]

No he didn't. I'd challenge you to find any article suggesting that he got $800K from Souths or Roosters until his latest contract (after 2019 GF).

Yeah, because they just publish articles on player payments...

you tell Brooks 550k and use the long service discount
throw good money at Hastings
tell Adam to bugger off

I wouldn't offer any of our spine bar Hastings 500k. They aren't worth it.

 

[tigerballs]

They’re both off contract at the same time. Let’s see who he goes after.

Neither

Nope. Brooks has been a fine player for a long time. We miss him badly tonight and not only would he tackle, he'd organise the players either side of him.

Neither

Probably.

I don't see it that way. If Brooks was that good we'd have made the finals more than once since he has been here.

He is better than Doueihi.

I listened to Mitch Moses this afternoon. He gave credit to the great forward pack he plays behind noting without it, he cannot play his role.

It's a fair point but Brooks simply hasn't performed consistently at critical times. Hastings is clearly our best half and to be fair Brooks is our second best half.

I don't think Doueihi or Madden are first graders. Doueihi with the ball is better than Brooks but his overall game is puss.

We need a rebuild. We should be viewing our current spine as place holders until we can get better players.

Sheens doesn't play Hastings as a half. He's too predictable. His is a lock at our club.

He is our best half by miles. I think he plays at lock because Brooks and Doueihi are both runners that are best out wide and Hastings at lock allows them to play that way.

Maybe it works but I think we are just covering for our players flaws.
