Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We need to pull our fingers out as clubs are signing back up halves and we still looking for 1st choice ones..

Knights sign Cogger for 3 years as a back up which is surprising and now looking at Sullivan.

Meanwhile at COE coffee and haircuts are in progress.

I was going to say something similar. It always seems like we sit and wait instead of being aggressive and proactive. Deals are being completed within a matter of days however anything related to us seems take weeks and months.
Bit like the 2 week break we had after Brooks was injured but we didn't go out and try and get any new HB to help. We just suffered with Wakeman for the next 6 weeks.

Just keep talking. In the meantime real teams be doing the walking. Cleary wasn't flash. But Walters was a little flash.

And Bellamy definitely wasn’t flash, neither was Robinson or Warren Ryan or Sheens.
It’s a trend not a spike mate.
Walters was a little bit flash but he hasn’t achieved anything as a coach as yet !
 
So the imbecile Hooper thinks we paid too much for the Fainu brothers.
Both have been elite players progressing through the grades and both this season have been highly dominant as an 18y.o and 19y.o playing NSW Cup.
Highly likely they will both become better than average NRL players at the very least, money well spent.
Now he’s stating we are desperate by wanting to sign Jayden Sullivan. He’s another that starred coming through the grades and has since shown glimpses of his ability at NRL level.
I don’t think Wests Tigers have labelled him as an out and out controlling 7 or more of an instinctive ball running 6, but he would be a more than handy acquisition either way.
Does this idiot not realise we will be signing a more experienced game controlling 7 either way, whether that be Aidan Sezer or somebody else.
 
Hoops and Braith are right

We need an organizing 7

Fainu and sullivan are flashy 6s

Who’s our 7?

Sezer?

Then why do we need Fainu and sullivan on $500k each?

None of them are a 7.

Tigers Fck up coming up again

Plus my cousins sponsor the dragons - said sullivan has bad hammys… and he’s a bludger happy he’s leaving lol

If Sullivan does sign it will be knowing he will be given a chance to be the game controlling 7 he wants to be, but also knowing we will have someone else ready to take his place if he doesn’t get the job done.
Also the insurance of him being able to step in at 6 if our 18y.o recruit in Fainu is not ready to be a regular NRL starting player straight away.

That's how I see it. I don't get the confusion these morons are banging on about. It's a clear and logical approach by the Tigers.

IMO There IS an high element of desperation in our recruitment which is why we grab at players who show even the slightest interest. Plus get rid of others who some clubs may want.
I’m still trying to work how many pubs Gus has given away coz he seems to talk to just about every available player, every fricken day.
We have just got to try and overcome this negative vibe around us but at the moment it’s a vicious circle( pardon the pun).
We play and lose, so our desirability goes down so we can’t recruit, this makes us even weaker and we keep losing.
Maybe we need to improve the cattle we’ve got , start to win a few games and the circle breaks.
But I’m sure our highly skilled coaching team are working on that every day, but why does it so often look like our players train in isolation ?
Is there anyone out there who could remould our existing squad ????! Please call .

Thanks Tom. I think something has to give at the Cowboys too with Dearden warranting a larger contract, Clifford reportedly returning next season & Duffy their future half.

The answer is not Wests Tigers. For them. For the forum.
