so what’s stopping him then ?

Maybe he doesn't see the Tigers as a viable option. Players do have choices.

Will be announced in ‘May’

To a 600 YAM's a year contract.

Yea, but do this in April bro!

Is this an April Fool's Day joke?

Top 8 is always the goal
Got a feeling our retention and recruitment (former to placate Benji)will burn us for a bit longer
I have no idea why we rid ourselves from proven internationals without having a back up plan
Not the way it works

We have had to release players before being able to sign players. (Far too many top 30 spots taken up by kids that have not kicked on as hoped). This situation has only just changed. And to be fair, proven internationals they may have been, but they were playing crap for us and have continued to play crap for their current clubs (Klemmer being the exception).

I asked what’s stopping HIM? Iit’s your story that he is in such demand so I thought you might know ..

Thought he might want some money not being paid the past year

Im not just talking the Tigers … he can walk into 4 clubs …apparently

Really need a back rower and another middle forward, pronto. Have room to sign depth for this year and next and still have players ending contracts end of this year to give us space to improve the starting side with real quality for next season.

@kade7 any updates?

 

[hsvjones]

Best to close forum for the day as its bullsh&t day and its boring reading all the made-up rubbish.

 

[Fish88]

Always rated Jackson Ford at warriors and he is stuck on the bench atm can play middle and edge. Would be stoked with that.

 

[Needaname]

I really don’t think there is anything happening out there. I mean we aren’t the only team with available positions. Why do we think the Tigers will sign all the unwanted players?

 

[Vicious]

Could it be Taylan May will only sign for an NRL club with the condition they also sign older brother Tyrone and Wests Tigers are either baulking at it or still making a decision on whether or not they are happy to accommodate Tyrone ?
Like every contract, the value of the contract is generally the defining factor, personally I believe Tyrone would add some value and depth to us, but think his NRL contract value should only be very minimal around 150k, maybe consider pushing it up to 200k only if Taylan signs for a fair & reasonable value of no higher than 500k.
I know a lot of our fan base are totally against having anything to do with Tyrone based on his past discrepancies, but consider he has been in the UK for the past 3 years and has not had any issues, so surely the past can be put in the past. Also factor that he’s been one of his clubs star players for the duration of his time with them , so if he agreed to a lower tier contract of 200k or less, he would be another solid 13 or utility option and I think it would likely bring out the best of all 3 brothers if playing at the same club.

How long before we see a $2 million dollar a season contract?? And who will it be??

Is Taylan with his history in a position to say he wants his brother signed as well, it would come across as a tad arrogant and you would think most clubs would baulk at it unless they could use Tyrone.
Our record of players coming from playing in the UK is 0\2 recently so I would understand if the Tigers passed on it especially if he is wanting bigger than expected dollars as well.
You and I have agreed before V there are more pressing issues in the forward pack needed to fill as well as centre.

No - Taylan is carrying enough of his own baggage around without worrying about his brother as well..
