Lots of RTS talk
Anyone worried about his past history ...didn't he leave the Roosters early to join the Warriors ...left the Warriors early to join RU ...and now would be leaving RU early to join an NRL club ...

Yea, that's a douche move:Tedesco walked by an Asian woman and shouted "squid games" at her.
Sorry, but I think you are extremely optimistic to think that the addition of RTS could lead to a title. Firstly, he is just one excellent player (admittedly in a key position) and one class player does not transform a whole side. There are big question marks about the remainder of the Tigers spine, specifically in the half and five eighth positions and there is no guarantee that all the new signings will gel or perform to their potential. The other thing is that RTS is going to want a lot of money because he was an elite player for a long time in the NRL, he is edging closer to retirement and he is being asked to move to the wooden spooners. To be honest, I can see this potential move going badly if we add another 4 year contract on big dollars. 2 or 3 years with an option in our favour on 1 mil a year would be ok, but, even then, I can see Roger going down with injuries. Signing either Moses or RTS on huge money could drag us down for years. Different matter if they were both 25.Agree Scare.
Some are saying RTS is too big a risk because of his age. I think he's 29, that's not too old hey.
He could come here on good dollars for a couple of years and Laurie, who is still quiet young could be his understudy and cover for injuries 🤔
That would be a perfect scenario if both parties were happy.
With our current side, the inclusion of RTS would possibly push us up to contend for a title.
That however, would hugely depend on whether Brooks, AD and a ball playing lock gets sorted.
Maybe not contenders next year but in 2024 when hopefully these issues are sorted.
There could still be room in our cap if media reports have any substance. 🤔🤣😉
SO does that mean we don't sign 80% of the halfbacks in the comp due to them not winning comps??Moses has not won a comp for anyone and he never will

Of the two, I think I'd prefer Roger because of his high level of professionalism, consistent effort and ability to lead by example.
That was a great era for us old Tiger supporters. We had alot of international players throughout the 80's. They had there chance in 85-86 and 88-89 to win a comp. Schofield was great for the Tigers. Didn't he also play for the Magpies in the late 80's.He was very good for us back then….

RTS will move the needle a little not take us to the top. He is 29 (e few months younger than Teddy), him stepping out of the game for a bit is a concern but he’s a pro, so I reckon he’ll be ok. One if the best things about signing him is we will continue the good player signing trend and break the spell of no good players coming to the Tigers. I like 3 years with an option on the forth.Sorry, but I think you are extremely optimistic to think that the addition of RTS could lead to a title.

Yes, he played for Wests Magpies in 1989, along with Ellery Hanley.That was a great era for us old Tiger supporters. We had alot of international players throughout the 80's. They had there chance in 85-86 and 88-89 to win a comp. Schofield was great for the Tigers. Didn't he also play for the Magpies in the late 80's.
I like your optimism Cobarcats but, having been a long suffering Tigers supporter, my own optimism is tempered by realism!optimistic is my middle name 😉
My assessment was based on him being an addition to our our new recruits. I also mentioned a lot would be dependent on sorting out the halves and ball playing lock.
Roger is first class and very athletic, injuries wouldn't be a concern imo.
I'm in the same boat as you mate as far as long suffering goes.I like your optimism Cobarcat but, having been a long suffering Tigers supporter, my own optimism is tempered by realism!
One class player does Transform a side.
Think Manly
Yeah like he's gunna come out and say that 🤣It was stated on here that he had made it clear he thought he was too good for us.
I'm just thankful that the roster looks on paper at least significantly stronger and their seems to be more of a focus on now rather than the three years talk last year. They were never going to sell that to any player of note and although the backs are a bit light on in quality, we really don't know what they are a capable of until the pack paves the way.
