Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Buttface]

Also something else I heard that was quite interesting…… don’t be surprised if the To’o to Tigers rumours start to heat up again the day after the GF.

Not dead yet.

Woo Hoo, To’o!!!

I agree re the Roosters cap, the only people who think it's ok are Rooster supporters, and the NRL who are scared stiff of Nick

And why would NRL be scared of uncle Nick does he have photos/videos of the nrl bosses or something???

 

[Vicious]

completely agree mate. next stop is a 13 and then a backrower. i think we’d be close to done after that.

How about Niwhai Puru for bottom end top 30 depth to play halfback and steer our NSW Cup team in the right direction once we offload Sullivan ?
Sezer could play that same role, but he’d be more expensive and I don’t think he would be content to play NSW Cup all season.

Thompson & Hunt our 2 hitmen 🙏🏼

Not trying to discredit your mail but why would Newcastle recently re-sign Gagai for two more years just to tell him he's free to leave months later?

Thing called a 🧢

 

[rex2ce]

Frizell would be an astute recruit on a number of fronts, probably most importantly his leadership & standard-setting but also it would likely be only on a 2-year deal.

And what he takes in cap would become available at an important time for contract upgrades for a young guys progressing. By 2027, a Lachlan Broederlow, Mitchell Taotua, Archie Duncombe or even the highly-talented Pheonix Godinet may be ready to take over in the backrow.

I see Frizell regularly as I have a stall at the Farmers Markets at Broadmeadow showground every Sunday and he calls into the stall next to mine if the Knights aren’t playing that day, I can tell you he’s in great nick , sculptured almost, so he hasn’t lost the will to look after himself yet.

 

[Buttface]

No.

This screams "Potential", not "performance".

We need players that are solid in the starting 17. We have far too many "next big thing" types and they won't progress while everyone around them is learning how to play.

Lets not sign the dogs reserve grade.

Hey Crazy it was you who asked about Bird v Gagai? What about Bird v Frizz?

 

[The Chad]

Agree. He was worse.

That's the perception.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

I would like a second row of Fainu and Duncan with Hethrington at lock.

 

[Buttface]

I liked Joffa
He didn’t want to leave Tigers
It was unfortunate how things panned out for him

So did Arthurs. I think that was the thing Joe was the only one worth having for them at the time.
I liked Joe, and am glad he was a West Tiger.

Wests Tiger

 

[Buttface]

The Wests Tigers are poised to land the signing of Cronulla’s Royce Hunt as they move to fill the void of prop Stefano Utoikamanu.
Hunt has met with Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall and the club is growing increasingly confident that the Sharks power forward will be on their roster next season.

Hunt is believed to be weighing up a three-year offer as Benji Marshall continues his rebuild of the club.

Hunt is on-contract at the Sharks for 2025 and has been given permission to look for another club for 2026 and beyond.

The Tigers deal would require Hunt securing an early release from Cronulla for 2025, which is expected to be ratified as negotiations intensify this week.

I hope the last year is a CO.

 

[Demps]

Looking forward to the Royce deal to become official.

Thoughts? Is he a starter or a bench prop?
Personally think he'll be used like we use Stef.
Opening 20 and closing 20.... no doubt, with more impact.

And I hope , he’s one of 3 , new forwards

 

[Buttface]

Wests Tiger

Uncle BF would not be happy with me there. It’s a touchy subject that one.

 

[Vicious]

Jaxson Rahme returning to the club from the Knights and Eiden Ackland son of well known Kiwi coach John Ackland from somewhere in New Zealand, what more could you ask for Ink ?
You generally stay neutral on the potential recruitment front, who would you like to see us recruit?

 

[Buttface]

And I hope , he’s one of 3 , new forwards

Thompson and either Frizz or Kobe.

If and when he signs will definitely entertain your question. Right now its up in the air as Toto in the Kansas tornado.

Hi everyone talking about bird gagai we should be looking at Paul alamoti he's young runs hard good defensive players and off contract and would cost a mint
