Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I understand from someone who works for the Pub Baron that Gus and his spending habits (with other people's money) are very much on the nose....

Same problem with Gus emerged at Penrith in the 90s...

Loves a flutter using club funds!

Looks like Volkman has failed his Dragons medical.

Very true. His crabbing towards the touch line
use to shit me up the wall. He use to squeeze
the 3 quarter line & get tackled 5 metres from
touch which generally killed the next play too.
Decent off the cuff player but terrible option
taker. Harsh, but we wasted 10 years with him
thinking he'd come good & be our general smh

We really have no idea how good or bad our outside backs are, they were never given any time and barely any space to do anything cause we didn't have proper halves. The only good game we played last year against the Cowboys To'a looked like an origin centre. Apart from that they looked lost. Once we get a settled halves pairing who aren't incompetent we should have a much better gauge on where we're really at with them all.

May be Craig Laundy and Barry O'Farrell should have a chat - both ex Liberal party members, although State and Federal. I'm sure their paths have crossed.

Laundy was actually a West Harbour Supporter as well opened up the new Gym at Concord Oval in 2018 and I believe the family provided some financial support for the club as well

Worth Barry giving Laundy a call I think - not sure if there would be any issues with Wests Ashfield (conflict on interests that is)

Now that Laundys all over the dogs, we need to be hitting up Jaycar for sponsorship. Jaycars owner is a Tigers tragic.

Why they didn't do the medical before the signing announcement is bizarre. It's like watching our old management at work...

Again, Luai choosing us over the Dogs proves this isn’t much of a factor.

He basically admitted if Benji wasn’t here he was gonna sign with the Dogs to be with his mates. Dogs weren’t that far off from getting him we were just lucky to have Benji.

Right. The bond he formed with Benji trumped his mates. Proving playing with mates isn’t the be all, end all.

Because Payne Hass is the benchmark and is around the same age as him. If someone said let’s swap them I’d take Payne straight away

He is the best prop since The brick with Eyes

Feel for Volkman, went from being contracted to the Warriors then Dragons for the year and is now without a job.

Flanno on the phone - "Houston, we have a problem".

I think the owner of Jaycar who was a huge Tigers fan passed away

Exactly.

Otherwise he would have signed to play with his mates

Jimmy is certainly a wild card, he’s got the prototype winger tall, strong and fast attributes and looked good for PNG before doing his ACL.
The signing of Olam could give him a confidence boost as well.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but why would the signing of another player give Jimmy N a confidence boost?

What if Olam and Jimmy don't like each other? What would happen then?

Is he even in the top 30? What are the odds he never even plays a first grade game?

He's training with the Magpies. I think he'll be depth for KOE Cup & most likely play Ron Massey.

I haven't seen his name anywhere. Maybe @KingRobbie knows?

He's not even training with the NRL squad mate

@WestsEffTheRest is right, he’s not in the Top 30 and is currently training with Wests Magpies NSW Cup, not the extended NRL squad.

I’m of the opinion that he’s very unlikely to ever play NRL.

It sounds petty but I like Brayden's lawyers on
the jersey because it matches our teams
colourway. Titans & Canberra's sponsors make
their jerseys look hideous, such an eyesore smh

Wow. Big call, I think he'll be a star in cup once
he gets back to full fitness. Big fast boy, still
young, specialist winger. I can see him getting
a development contract somewhere else if not
with us. Who knows from there, kid can play
