Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Wasn’t there a legendary thread on LU that year that some Tiger hater made before round 1, going on and on about how we’d get the spoon. Pretty sure @innsaneink could confirm.

Yeah... I think a member named 'Tigger' very pro balmain fella started a thread I think about 2005 trials time titled "why the spoon is headed to Cambo"
It lasted for years with the OP getting ripped about it constantly


Edit sorry gal didn't see yiur post... Spot on!

On Tupou, it leaves us in a tricky spot. We don't have much depth in the backs but there's also zero point in developing a project player if they're going to leave.

Given how many stars Dolphins have in the backs I don't even see him starting up there. No idea why they'd offer 500k+. He's not proven enough to warrant that Payday. If he does sign with Redcliffe we should look to offload him immediately, not sure who we can swap for though. No point in keeping Him, Blore or Nof, but we can't just rely on rookies either

Tell me ink was there a forum around before this one or did the forum merge from somewhere else because I remember that Sinccas bloke crouching Tiger and a few other classics. But iirc there was something shut down and everyone had to come across. I used to post under a different name back then and I only actually changed it on here 3 or 4 yrs ago.

I’m pretty sure there was an old Tigers forum, and then it migrated to this one in 2009.
 
No more Galvin talk or 23468 posts on large… kids we have no idea on , never seen them play against men, and their sacks have barely dropped. Christ you guys are talking us back into doom Vegas.

Boo hoo - tupou gone, next man up.

That’s it - everyone now talks about Gordon whippy.. the whip, whippster, whippo, cool- whipp… cmon - saw him with gus, his manager wears loafers, Redcliffe offered him $300k ..

I can sort of understand it with Galvin cos he’s in the top 30 and an outside chance of debuting in 24. Still a baby however. The amount of talk about Large though is ridiculous. He’s 16. Won’t debut for at least another three years. That’s a lifetime in this game.

I dare say the emergence of Saukuru may have put a hold on Olam talks too. If he's showing enough promise to suggest he can play first grade in near future then we don't want to block him with an older player on large money.

he must have had a setback then … because Telegraph reporting Olam talks back on
 
Junior Tupou at the Dolphins will be behind: Fullbacks - Hamiso Tabuai Fidow & Jamayne Isaako .. Wings - Jamayne Isaako & Edrick Lee & Robert Jennings .. Centres - Herbie Farnworth & Jake Averillo & Valynce Te Whare & Euan Aitken & Tesi Niu .. why go there .. ??

I recall there was a forum wedding once even. Brook and someone got hitched at Leichhardt oval...

And yeah if my mail was correct pom was just a regular bloke, would take his kids to members days etc. Don't recall anyone outing him though

Yeah we met on the forums and got married in Balmain, the day before winning the GF. The club let us into LO, Sheds etc then went down main street of Balmain & people would randomly run up to the car it was nuts.
