Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

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?
 
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.

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..

If the risk of challenging Seyfarth's fine is only risking an extra $500, then is it worth going ahead with it to try and prove a point?

My gut feeling is NO because if he won it would be proof that the penalty that decided the game should not have been awarded which would open up a can of worms which is why there is no chance that the challenge would have a chance of succeeding.

Anything that brings more accountability to the admin, apparently there are 2 ref's stood down this weekend, iv got a sneaky suspicion the gem we got will be one of them, as well as the touch judge that couldn't see the players foot over the touchline in another game.

Probably underwhelming- but I would seriously consider getting Charlie Murray upgraded to the point he can be selected.

We've already got him on the books. Tough & mobile forward. It's unlikely we are signing anyone of note for 2025 at this stage- I think he adds the type of physical player we need- even if his development is not where it is needed. The likes of Hope & Murray, Porter etc- offer working class options now that injuries are starting to play their part.

He's topped 100m + in his last 2 outings for the Magpies, doesn't miss many tackles. Just feel like if called on, he could hold down a backrow position for a week or two if required.

As long as he's reliable why not?

Interesting,was talking to someone the other day about CM. He is friends with his dad.
Came from the storm system. Said after he signed, we the club were a bit disorganized
get him here by the sounds of it (flights,acc etc) but likes it at the club. I think he said
he left the storm because he was homesick.
