Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger-ferret]

You quite often can't. Protections in place quite often favour underperforming employees over employers. What you can do is either performance manage them to either perform or leave themselves

Exactly.

 

[1eyedmel]

Surprise, Surprise. Time already to start looking for a new halfback for 2026 then. It was all just too good to be true for us suffering die-hards.

 

[BAGNF05]

Yeah, Pascoe signed players of the same calibre as Luai and May.

He would of signed that pair in 2040.

 

[Lestronge]

For months I heard how contract clauses were the devil, now they are being applauded.

Who’s applauding it ? We have the players . They’re ours !!! It’s up to us .
It’s a different situation to years gone past , as we didn’t have the players and the ones we did like Matterson , were here to use the club as a stepping stone .
I don’t think a guy who’s gone to his childhood club at 28 , to make a name for himself and secure a legacy , is even remotely the same as that .
But it’s 💯 up to the club now . It’s big boy pants time ! No more playing kids , just to see where they’re at .
It’s winning or the club is absolutely screwed . We have 2 years !! But for the first time in maybe 14 years , we have control of our own destiny . And I’ve got faith in Richo .

 

[happy_tiger]

Hahah honesty?
Cmon Hap you've been around a long time now...should no better
Membership figures
Contract clauses. They're all the same they'll piss off in a few years... Only constant is us.
I'd love to know what else we don't know that some here do know only after the fact is publicised.

I dunno Ink ....maybe I just thought things had changed .....

 

[Tucker]

So did Ben Hunt, Gutherson, May, Lomax

Why are you telling me this?
Did they all work with Marshal?
You do understand what the argument is don’t you?

 

[Yossarian]

Concord Utd and Burwood united were two different clubs
Concord wore a jersey like manlys old maroon & thin White stripes across... Burwoods jersey was similar to the old city Jersey (city v country ) but reversed... Dark Blue with two yellow Vs.. Like balmains design

Yeah I wasn’t thinking about the time frames very clearly.

 

[Snidest 0]

How can anyone with a straight face claim Richo is any better than Pascoe now?

Are you fair dinkum being stupid?

 

[BAGNF05]

Are you fair dinkum that stupid?

I vote GNR should watch all the re-runs of ask the Boss if he doesn’t walk back that comment.

 

[weststigerman]

Panic stations over Luai’s clause are silly. This is normal these days with top halves, you only have to look at Parra who have these sorts of clauses for both their halves.

If we turn the corner I’m sure he’ll stay. He’ll likely be captain and earning a fortune guaranteed.

It’s only really problematic if we continue to run near the bottom, in which case he’s not much different to Brooks, Hastings, Sezer etc. and not worth 1.2 large.

 

[The Chad]

Haha- ahh, who doesn't love a Tigers off-season?

It's not Christmas if 4-5 of us haven't turned on each other & tried to explain why they know better than the rest.

And it appears we know who Galvin's mum/agent are, as well as the author of the Luai article exposing themself with the outragous bagging of Richo immediately afterward.

 

[TIGERS]

Yeah , I reckon he was about to go to the next level. I was a fan.

Sheens said he hadn't seen such a forward since Bradley Clyde.

Taniela, Moltzen, Dwyer, Lawrence, - all lost or diminished by injury. Plus losing Lodge and Lui to criminal misconduct. Losing Fifita to Sheen's aversion to forwards who just go forwards... What we had in 2010 was remarkable. I think Dwyer for me is the big one.

 

[weststigers]

The club were linked to Luai for months before he was sacked. And he put the clause into the contract. What’s to argue? 🤔

The news reports say Pascoe rejected the clause. Richo put it in.

 

[innsaneink]

Come on Ink, we need to be positive. Really, we've never looked better and the blokes we've recruited, on the surface, appear to be the type every club needs. I'm not fussed about most of the juniors coming through to be honest, but Makasini, Johannssen, maybe Sukkar, maybe Matamua...that's all we need to be an ultra competitive side.
Lift, brother....lift!

Yeah I know.... On Paper yes for sure... I'm hoping like hell it transfers to game day & the footy we play
Will believe it when I see it.

 

[tigermate]

LOL what a ridiculous load of shit.

We shall see my friend

We shall see

You're kidding right??

 

[old_man_tiger]

So the ambulance chaser probably leaked it🤣

 

[tigertuff]

Luai has come to the Tigers to make a name for himself instead of constantly sitting behind Cleary. It wouldn't be a good look if he bailed after 2 years. He has the potential to be a hero if he turns this club around and his legacy would be forever remembered. I'm backing him in.

 

[Bula]

If we signed Luai for a straight 2 years everyone would have been happy. Sign hiim for 2 years with options and people death ride Richo. Not sure of their logic.
