Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Maybe it's just me but I don't like Twal going on the Matty Johns show.
They take the piss in much the same way The Footy Show did with Tommy.
I don't find it funny.

I agree, feel it's mean spirited, found it hard to watch.

I still think this whole thing is about Latu Fainu . If you read the tea leaves about the timeline , His first request for release was when we signed the Fainus .
And when you look at Fainu , and the way he plays he’s better than Galvin at being a half . He just is !
Chuck in their history ie. that Fainu was the one who kept him out at the eels im almost certain before he went to manly , Fainu was the one who kept him out of rep jerseys in age groups in the 6 jersey , and now Fainu has come to the nrl team , and whilst Galvin had the inside line , with all the noise in the playing group that Fainu is a better fit , I’m almost certain when they say he won’t develop here , I think they really mean Latu is going to take my place in the halves and I’ll be a lock .
It’s the only thing that actually makes the development angle make sense . And why his dad and manager are pushing this .
Because yes Benji has Lachies back , but eventually Latu will grab that 6 jersey , and everyone who actually knows the game knows that’s eventually going to happen . It’s why the club under sheens and now Benji has him forecast as a lock eventually . I guess Galvin doesn’t want that . And really … that’s fair enough . You don’t need to torpedo the club though to get it .

Completely agree, the fact that we still haven't seen Latu and Luai at the starting halves pair has me very excited for the future.

Got to be realistic though, Preston will not be allowed to leave. That would be an amazing swap though. I think they would let Kikau go.

Hopgood for me from the eels, but that Guymer looks an interesting prospect

Its funny that Para's current two starting backorders are WT rejects.

Twal gave it back to them last week when interviewed on ground after full time. He said he was going to put on a BBQ for the boys but couldn’t afford to have Hindmarsh around because he eats too much

 

[clontarfkid]

Any idea of timing?

I must be the only one who wants to hold Galvin to his contract. At 300k for the next two seasons, he's a bargain as a bench backrower/back up half. And unlike Moses, he won't tank.

..and critically,we need to establish a precedent

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Fletcher and Hindmarsh are the two unfunniest hacks on TV. And Johns is a gronk who talks out of his nose like his brother,

Yes it's a crap show only watch bits of it when Tigers are on it but last night when they were using Twally to get laughs just turned it off, classless bunch of cretins.

Kikau would be great. Hopgood and/or Jack Williams would be good. I wonder if Guymer has reached his potential like a Corey Payne or will continue to get stronger and more athletic. He's only 20, could be interesting.

And he’s actually a smart guy.

I’d be very hesitant about Kikau. He’s 30, on big coin and has spent a decent amount of time injured over the last three seasons (in fairness he did play most games last season).

Hopgood would be really good though. We’ve needed a lock for while and he fits the bill.

Twally is a funny guy. It's just his style of humour. There's something endearing about him that people also love. He is being ushered into the media and will have great career after football. Don't look into it too much.

There is a video with Taylan watch shopping. He says to the jeweller how mad the box is and that it’s his future colours (hopefully) - black and orange.

Kitkat is on the older end but just like api he could provide a great opportunity for succession planning with that young tall timber edge we have Phoenix Godinet

He'll still be smiling in the back of the ambulance on the way to the hospital. 🤣

Speaking of bullies ...

I'm sure that it's all in fun and very reminiscent of some of the stuff Fatty did on the Footy Show way back when you could get away with a lot of things that these days are just really pushing the envelope or just simply not on.

I personally can have a bit of a laugh at some of this stuff, but looking back on some of it it was just really hurtful and sad.

 

[liltiger]

let's smash nephew moses into the ground, on his maybe return

I'd be very surprised if the May and definately Hunt didn't give him any special treatment

 

[liltiger]

I don’t want it kept secret, I’m questioning the timing of the meeting.

If you mean the Tigers meeting to offer him the contract Tucker, on 360 Braith was insinuating that the Tigers got wind of another club ready to give him an offer so we put an offer on the table.

You sure he won’t tank………Mmmmm

 

[hodgo]

The real hard but about a trade is that the other player has to want to go a little at lease. Preston etc are playing for the best team in the comp currently

Richo found out somehow . Loose lips sink ships I guess ..
