Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Taylan too?

Hes a must, imo.

But considering him a 2025 signings.
Needs to be extended ASAP

 

[Fish88]

Just need some forwards now 🙂

 

[weststigerman]

I think we’d be silly to go after an expensive edge back rower. Samuela and KPP are our starters. A depth second rower would be good though.

We need to invest the rest into prop/lock. Go after some Wahs middles.

 

[tigahhh]

Says who?

So? Jett Cleary's family are all in Australia.

And?

all izzy katoa’s family moved with him to QLD too 😭 some stuff on here is just too funny

Do we reckon Andrews would be top 30?

 

[Jimmy Jazz]

13 Fermor
12 Samuela
11 Kai Pierce-Paul

I’d be stoked with that back row.

Would need one rep quality prop and utility forward short of a very good pack.

It is doable…

Fermor is an out n out edge backrower, predominantly on the left, always has been, not a 13.

 

[weststigerman]

Exactly. Sign players in a position of need, not just any player who becomes available.

 

[tigahhh]

my guess is development next year & top 30 2027

 

[Tim Sheens]

You don’t make origin if you don’t put in effort and aren’t consistent

Yet Stefano Utoikamanu made it again this year over Terrell May.

 

[boonboon]

Do we reckon Andrews would be top 30?

A bit shit they wernt clear on that.

 

[tigahhh]

man the swarm of media at the club today bc they’re playing the dogs 🙄

 

[Milky]

my guess is development next year & top 30 2027

I would think he is top 30

Wonder what that means for L Fainu, maybe he is seen as a lock?

 

[Canberratiger]

Fermor played for Qld though

I was referring to Stefano.

 

[Vicious]

I doubt the Titans would release a player such as Beau Fermor for 2026, but just say they did and we could potentially sign him.
What would be wrong with Fermor, Samuela Fainu and KPP all battling it out for our 2 edge back rowers starting spots and potential for whoever misses out to play 13 or start off the bench ?

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Competition for spots!

Too many lazy assumptions.

 

[weststigers]

I never said we need to replace the above...... my issue is we are still a mile off the top 8, or even the top ten teams, as you have pointed out signing the above players and only winning 1 more game so far is that really a improvement.

I answered you. I said yes. It is improvement. Objectively, we have improved. We have more wins and we have been competetive in most games this season. I can name 5 from 18 where we have been totally outclassed on the day.

Melbourne
Manly
Parramatta
Penrith
Brisbane

2024, we were outclassed in most games.

Parra is rumoured to be signing Furmor and now people are saying he should be coach of the year on here. I mean this is hard to listen to when people just throw shit out and have no back up to the point their making.

You say don't getbrid of the players, but you imply they haven't made a difference. If getting new players is not the answer, what are you wanting to see from the club that will make you happy they've done the right thing?

 

[mtd#2]

richo is fixing that

There seems to be talk that Makasini will get game time... So how's that fixing the issue if we are bringing fresh 18 year olds in way too young?

 

[Canberratiger]

man the swarm of media at the club today bc they’re playing the dogs 🙄

I can't seem to find the interviews on YouTube anymore. Do you know where else they could be?
