Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Harvey]

Recruitment has been good, with Tigers identifying areas of need.

In the recent signings of Hunt and Hetherington, they must of identified a lack of fringe first graders in the top 30.

I thought that was one area we had well covered.

 

[Tucker]

Zerotackle has us linked with Dejean Asi (5/8 and halfback) from Parramatta coming to us.

lol I dont think so.

Matamua, Sukkar, Tumeth, Toa, Naden, Sullivan, Bateman, Faatape will/should be the players tapped on the shoulder to leave. That will free up space for us to have some youngsters in our squad but not too many, sign some new decent players, upgrade Sione etc

That’s 8 players plus sezer that’s 9 .
But will Richo have the balls to send them packing , the club got it so wrong giving untried kids a spot , we need to fill our roster with hard nosed working players , just like the dogs have done

No he’s of to the ENGLISH tigers

 

[Tucker]

No he’s of to the ENGLISH tigers

That makes sense. He isnt an NRL level half by any means currently.

 

[hank37w]

He should do a celebrity boxing match with iron Mike. It’d be like two old dogs going at it.

That would be a pretty even match up I would imagine. 👂

 

[AceofSpades]

Faagutu is top 30 next year....

But there's also no way they'd want any of our players. They have half a dozen props as good as Chris.

They might have a half dozen props as good as Faagutu, but they have no depth in the lock forward position after Carrigan and there was a reason why he was classed as one of the best lock forwards in QLD

God I hope not.

Royce hunt will turn out to be our biggest flop since bateman and sullivan lol.

3 years was minimum 1 too many.

he'll be gassed by the end of the nxt year and probably playing reserves during the year bc of fitness and weight issues.

I am happy to out $100 bet on it if anyone wants it.

and just so people dont think im being negative -- im very happy with skelton, luai and turuva. Very unhappy with Bird, and Royce.... would have been very happy with Cory... and am non-fussed about Kobe, at least he will add some defense around the ruck. Would be very happy with RCG too

I would be disappointed if Faagutu was let go, he’s the one I’m keenest to see progress as an aggressive ball player lock type, but he’s been playing prop.

If he is our number 1 prop we are in trouble

If you can get 1 or 2 more hard working, effort guys around him it will be a good buy

Biggest flop in history.... I'm happy to take you up on it, been waiting for someone to bet with me on the forum.
Do you ever get to leichardt games?
At what point do we determine flop status, year 1, 2 or 3? I think we do a poll on the forum for the final decision?

 

[razor7]

Does that link indicate Broaderlow comes into top 30 in 2026? If true, that's another horrible decision.

Only players that should have automatic top 30 progressions are the standout juniors. Galvin, Makasini, Taupau-Moors, Large brothers etc.

Surely not Broaderlow

 

[weststigers]

Sullivan would be a blessing

Asi swap for Sullivan would be a massive win for us. Asi can hold his own in NRL if needed too.

I'll happily throw down $100 too. Don't even think Hunt is on a particularly large amount.

Fullback depth covered by Mason and lualli ? Unfortunately hobbits with poor hands-are miles away from fullback cover given the way the game is played today

 

[TSP]

That makes sense. He isnt an NRL level half by any means currently.

Which means there’s a printing error as to the competition of his destination club.

Where is Kobe?

Rooster junior says he’s solid.

Want that “ Kobe signs” membership email, instead of flogging 2024 unsold spoon bowl merch.

New sponsor due too.

Fullback in KOE can be covered by Doueihi, Mason & Lualili'i as well.

There are plenty of small fullbacks.

Ryan Papenhauzen
Reece Walsh
Trae Fuller
Dylan Edwards

Just to name a few

Who even are these big fullbacks you are eluding to? Latrell? I think the game has passed him by.

Jye Gray and Scott Drinkwater aren't that tall as well.
