Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[crazycat]

I thought it was obvious but clearly some people believed me. It's not a habit as well.

I get your point though.

Sadly the new forum doesn't help at all. I had to go back 6 messages to find out what we were talking about.

OK who is Superman? Caleb Clarke as in Clarke Kent! better be more of a wall basher then reporter. The guy seems like a good winger but No way to Halfback!

Glad we are going for David Fifita. WE NEED BEEF up front. We need it we need it BAD.

RTS was great for the roosters, pretty good for New Zealand. Obviously Roosters have their issues and won't be able to offer him 500k...also having 3 players vying for Fullback. Great their loss.

"1. The club is going hard for David Fifita and we are in the box seat to get him.
2. Caleb Clarke is talking to the club. He wants a change from rugby and it's just about money at this point. Hopefully a deal will be done for next year.
3. The Roosters have dropped out of the race to secure RTS. The club have put in a good deal to get him here and hopefully this deal will happen.

How much for RTS? Where does Laurie and Stains go?
How much for David Fifita? Titans money and I am crying, 800k and we will let Sheens turn him into a ball playing Center. (as Sheens did for Ellis, Galloway, Heighington... almost every forward we had).
Are we punting Nofo OR Ken M for Clarke? Please tell me were not doing the BIG 17 again? Is Caleb Clarke Superman?/???

I am going to disagree with the crowd on this one.

Isn't busted up.... Played 80ish games in 8 years. Why? busted up!
Huge difference between "can play'' and "has played". Yes he has been slotted into positions and been a total turnstyle in those positions.

We need to get our defence right, sure we need a utility but a busted ex Parramatta Princesses need not apply.

Meh, maybe the crowd is right. He is outside the top 30 so what does it matter.

Some good points raised and can see that view. If he was top 30 I would be going WTF stupid signing but guess it's the balance between top 30 and basically a NSW Cup deal.

Just to add to these points there is some bigger news.

Apparently Superman is coming to play for us at halfback.

Na 5/8

It's coming:

I have said this before but I feel sad for the media department. Not much to work with

Laurie and Staines can go fishing if we can get a top line player like RTS. He's still got two good years in him.

Is Caleb Clarke Superman?/???

No Superman is Superman. Someone else apparently mentioned The Witcher and Batman. Apparently The Witcher is also attractive to the ladies.

Fox now reporting that Newcastle are going after Hastings if they can't get Brooks and that Joey Johns has called Jacko to point out advantages ? This soap opera goes on and on

I get your point though.

Yeah mate, it wasn’t obvious.

Yeah mate, it wasn’t obvious.

I get it now.

I put this on the initial post.

******UPDATED - THIS IS A FAKE POST *****

Obviously trying to put pressure on
us. The ball is firmly in our court though.
Both of them are contracted to us.
I think it's more likely we get Klem
Than then Jacko getting a release
and driving from the gong to the hunter
For training every day. They're trying to agitate, good luck to them

It's like drugs son. Once you've had a puff, you're hooked for life.

 

[426Tlgerland]

gee this Brooks shit needs to be sorted , same for Hastings , this club can’t afford to go into pre season looking like dicks .
sign one up just get it done
me i keep Hastings and swap Klemmer for Brooks
Start with Hastings at Half AD at 5/8 , Naden and Stains in the centres
Klemmer Appi , Steph up front
Pappi and Bateman back row
joffa to lock
Blore , Twal , Pole Bench + 1 more ptyats got some sting in It

Wait till he takes over the reins in '25

"Get in there and show them" - Is he talking about his fleshlight again?

 

[tigerballs]

Odd that we're going for another top line Winger when we've just locked up all our Outside backs long term (Not that I think they're all top line) And we have Nof and Nado for the next 3 years??
RTS is exactly what we need, A real Fullback and Decent meters from the back....
- A superstar even.

Fifita is the wrong signing for us at a time like this, We need a Capewell, Not a Fifita....

Stop doing this Bat, if only we'd signed Capewell and Nico.....

 

[Newtown]

Brooks is only devoted to his inflated salary the club pays him. He's not devoted to the Tigers, only his bank balance

Do you seem to know what his bank balance is?

I actually think how you structured it was different to your normal posts and the names are all ones we have had some form of links (rumours/news) towards as well, so well Played!

Now will change my calendar from April 1 to Nov 10

I thought who can we sign who would actually be good signings for us. It didn't turn out that good for me though. I'm spending a lot of time telling people it was an outright lie.

I don't have inside info. I never have.

If we could get those players though it'd be game changing for us. We need a couple of quality signings. IP and Api are quality. We just need more.

So you're saying it's a done deal?!

Hey Earl your humour is great, but your reputation is conservative, and a bit of a fence sitter. Thats why i questioned your post, as did others, and some fell for it. At least it gave us something to read instead of the dribble and character assasinations on the site. Well done!

I'd love to make a joke here but I don't think I'll ever do that again. Way too painful.

I thought we needed something to talk about as well.

I love the fence sitter comment. I'm like that IRL.
