Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigertragic]

The Dragons and the Dogs have both made it public that they will no longer chase May because I’m guessing he told the them he already decided to go with us and it’s just not official yet. Got to make it look like they weren’t rejected.

Didn’t dogs say they weren’t after Ciraldo as coach 🤔

I said I wansn't absolutely sure, over the next two years. I think Burton will probably be better than Fainu in 2025, but by 2026 I'm much less sure. To be fair, that's an optimistic take - I really like the look of Fainu.
But whatever, I'll concede the point - their best is a safer pick than our third best. I still wouldn't take either Burton over either of our starters and if you offered me the corpse of Ben Hunt as a swap for either of ours I'd ask if you'd like me to arrange a mental health check.

Well I can understand not wanting ben hunt because of age and his immaturity, but Burton is still very young and can improve. Origin and premiership winner too

It was rumoured 2 days ago that May is coming to us and straight after that all of a sudden they’re no longer interested. It’s obvious they were turned down.
Ciraldo was never rumoured to be signed by a club.

I imagine Latu was given a personalised and realistic goal considering his injury. His boss knows a thing or 2 about early career injuries

Shoulder injuries, why different to hamstrings, just look how long it took for turbo from manly to get over hamstring problems ,

May /Klemmer / Pole / Hunt rotation looks decent. Twal and Fainu in amongst it.

Probably already raised here I imagine but how can next season work out with Klemmer? Needs to play 14 games to trigger his 2026 contract year. Are WT going to do this? Probably not due to supposed coin which will be earned. And we may need him for more than 14 games in 2025 if we are making a fist of it. Stupid contracts from an inept previous management.

I don’t know why I’m the only one against this clause. Obviously length of contract was an issue when trying to sign him, being an aging player. It basically says you can have the extra year if you’re fit and in decent form. Obviously the coin was overs, we are now also in a position where the roster spot is needed, but the clause is fine and Klemmer deserves a roster spot over many of the other nufties we have in our squad.

It’s not the worst clause we’ve had! 😂

Getting May changes the trajectory of the Tigers in 2025 significantly

Make no mistake, This guy is a machine that puts fear in the opposition.

Bulldogs will not make an offer for May , that can only be good for us. https://www.zerotackle.com/bulldogs...ke-key-contract-call-on-rival-forward-217193/

Read today that the Dragons were starting to cool on May and could also drop out of the race to sign him. Besides the WT who else would be in the market for him?

Parra need a replacement for rcg

Parra need a replacement for rcg

isn’t Jack Williams their RCG replacement?

I can’t get a read on whether Parramatta are in for him. the only ‘journalist’ that’s made note of their apparent interest is Brandon Smith. nothing from anyone else.

 

[Ecto-1]

The 2 serious contenders for him were the Dragons and the Dogs. Parra was mentioned as a team that might want him but never really expressed any interest. He’s going to look good in a Tigers jersey 🐯

Mm.. rolling me eyes.

Bulldogs always release this when they know they've missed out.

The old “I didn’t like her anyway” call from Gus

Must be known to be a done deal, if these clubs' statements are true.

Hope you are right mate.

They didn’t with Luai.

Beware Parra swooping in late. Ryles is reshaping their squad and they are down a prop after releasing RCG. Wouldn’t pop the corks just yet.
