Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

What a recruitment drive

- Jerome Luai 👑
- Sunia Turuva
- Royce Hunt
- Jack Bird
- Jeral Skelton
- Terrell May

+ a bunch of cup players.
Outstanding.

I would expect the squad, as we know it, will be greatly changed in a year's time. That's a lot of bodies coming off contract with very few of them being priority re-signings.

We might look a little same-same for 2025, although improved, but 2026 we might be unrecognisable compared to the 2024 squad.

Great shot on the Arm for Klemmer and the others.

Gun signing

 

[vlad]

AD is only contracted for 2025.
Same as Naden.
Olam we have for '25 and '26

Wonder if Taylan May can play centre

All Taylah’s 8 games this year were at centre .
Alomoti took his spot when he was suspended

 

[Kaito]

Shit I hope so, will be a game changer having him and big Roycey up front.

Where’s that dude who said we wouldn’t sign May ?

This guy Caz. I told you guys, u all think I'm crazy

All starters (bar maybe hunt and bird).

Give me an edge for Bateman and i'm happy.

Another huge advantage with T May is that he can pump out huge mins on a consistent basis and not fatigue! Unlike Stephanie who gasses out after 30-40mins this bloke can play 80! Huge plus for your interchange decisions and always having someone reliable and explosive on the field 🔥

At the Roosters....
They're usually going in the right direction on field...

We're getting stronger, But not quite there yet.
80 mins in a Tigers Jersey is very different to 80 mins in a Roosters jersey.

 

[The Chad]

I think you can just about fit all our forwards in now, IF Bird plays in the centres.

8. May
9. Koroisau
10. Klemmer
11. Bateman
12. Sam Fainu
13. Sione Fainu

14. Da Silva
15. Pole
16. Seyfarth
17. Hunt

18. Twal
19. All the kids- Matamua, Kit, Sukkar etc.

That's a strong looking set of forwards IMO.

A lot here went off half cocked when we lost Stefano. We all know players become available for a bunch of reasons in the off season and it only took 10 weeks from the end of the season to sign his replacement.

Our administration is much better under Richo and you can say what you like about Benjis coaching, he is obviously respected for these top line players to sign with the club.

We aren't signing has beens and kids with potential. We are signing established and performing NRL players.

Who cares if he loves a carb ??? !!!!

 

[Needaname]

I wonder why there hasn’t been any talk about Tyrone Coming back to the NRL. Is a really decent player and can play a lot of positions and well. Talking about lacking a lock, that is Tyrone’s best spot in my opinion.

 

[Ecto-1]

Just saw a post on Facebook it’s been reported that he’s getting 2 million over 3 years so $666k a season. I’d say that’s nice work.

He's slow.

Could be our Wishart though.

 

[Juice]

Great signing but slightly disappointing if someone isn’t moved on for Sione Fainu to stay with the brothers

 

[mtd#2]

Where's all the slanging on Richo now???
That we couldn't wait till November to sign anyone decent?
UP THE TIGERS!!!

Add Makasini to that list… apart from Luai may be the pick of the bunch

you cannot play sione fainu as a 13.... he's not event close to a lock.

 

[tigermate]

Olam we have for '25 and '26

Wonder if Taylan May can play centre

i know -- but would still like to move Olam and AD now.

If we did that for a gun center we would be top 8.

We need a gun center and a lock/second row.

and we're good.

 

[2041]

You know the old saying , where there is a Tyrell… there’s a taylan…. And maybe a Tyrone .

Pushing hard for Theresa for 2026 I'm hearing.

in a tigers jersey you're playing against 14 men
