Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I would love to get kobe hetherington. Really suits the 13 role and can play a number of positions. Also, he's only 25 and hasn't really hit his peak but has shown signs he could be an origin player

👎🙃

Why are people still including Hetherington on their wish lists? Last I heard he is going nowhere.

I’d be super happy if we picked up May though. Having players like him and Hunt in the team would give Klemmer a new lease of life also, I reckon.

Admittedly I don't watch much rugbah league outside of the Tigers these days, but what's so special about Hetherington?

Hes talked about like an immortal around here.

His a whole hearted player with good effort off the ball but that about it from what I have see. Think Chris heinington ?

Hetheringtons manager is flying to Brisbane next week to talk to Madge about whether he’ll be in the starting side or not. If not he wants out of his contract and will likely come to us.
Withe the resigning of players and what’s going on with Mam they might need the cap space.

I think it's more to do with the toughness he displays. I'm not super excited by Hetherington, but he's certainly not a bad pick up.

Terrell May is an exciting pick up, if it happens. Hetherington is a strong pick up. There's a difference.

 

[The Chad]

I still think Hohepa Puru from Canberra would be an outstanding pick up at #13

 

[liltiger]

Yeah, hes a clown.

Wonder what would've happened if he owned up to his actions?

We've seen how it goes with other players.
Stood down, fine an apology video.
All the denial and whatnot, made it a lot worse it appears.

Only mistake he made in the whole drama was lying to Gus. It would have been nothing to see here if he told the truth but he lied to Gus and he's the king at Belmore.

Does he do the jink before the line? 😂

If we actually have a shot at adding JAC for a couple of years- we should take it. Right now, there is every chance Charlie Staines is starting on the wing.

No way , the bloke is a game player , laughed us off in the past , we need 2 quality forwards

Any loan to the Roosters, you’ll never see them again. Besides, no one wants Sullivan. He‘s dead weight.

If they have a contract with us, they have to come back to us and if Roosters want let's say TDS for more time then they pay us a hefty fee.

And if that's the worst case scenario, it's still worth pursuing.

 

[Kelce68]

I think we are of the same view, however at the risk of being too pedantic on semantics, I would say they deserve the chance to earn their redemption.

By which I mean there'd be more clauses in their contracts than Golem dressed as a tiger at Halloween....

That's a fair call

 

[JB9918]

Anyone got the Sullivan article?

 

[Kelce68]

Manase was looking to be one of the best 9’s in the comp before his incident. Would be worth giving him the chance although I’m pretty sure his shoulder is/was completely cooked, there’s a real possibility even without prison his NRL career could have been over by now

Yeh, exactly, he is just as, if not more talented than the other boys.

If he chooses football post, there's every chance he could work his way back, NRL permitting.

Wow....SMH reporting Tigers willing to pay out $900,000 golden handshake to get Sullivan off the books

 

[Kelce68]

I have a question for everyone.
Who would you prefer to keep Galvin or Latu if you can only one.
I think I would take Latu if it means we keep all of the Fainu's

I think Latu has the higher ceiling in the halves. He's a 15 year NRL player.

Galvin could be anything. Literally anything. His greatest strength his how much he's on the ball. That is hard to teach.

I know I danced around your question, but for now, I'd probably lean more towards Latu. In many ways you know what you're gonna get with him into the future. Starting half.

If you build a squad around Galvin being a long term 5/8th and then his growth makes it difficult for him to be effective there, it could present squad balance issues into the future.

A good problem to have and it probably goes without saying we should be moving heaven and earth to keep both if we can.

 

[Kelce68]

Still not sold on Hertherington. Would much prefer a specialist edge backrow especially if Bateman goes.
Get May first then go hard for Nikora or Siua Wong or one of the young Melbourne backrowers few options out there

Agree.

For our shortcomings, I think we need to prioritise another edge over a lock.

I say that knowing full-well that lock has long been a issue for us.

I just feel that our stop-gap options at lock will be far less disruptive than our stop-gap edge options.

 

[weststigers]

If Luai wants May, make it so Richo!

Douhei, Bateman out

May, Hetherington in

Makes our pack very solid

Yes. On paper and in our heads. We still need to wait for reality to match your creativity.

 

[luaipleasesaveus]

Heard with Terrell May a big issue is roster spots so with Tigers trying to pay 300k to move on from Bud do we think thats confirmation that we will be the top contenders for him? Not only this but obviously Batemen looking on his way out and Doueihi possibly going to the dragons
