Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tigahhh]

Since you won’t answer. My comment was in reference to a question whether he would be top 30. I deduced that since he won’t be getting a contract from his current club that he won’t have a lot of options, hence our club can more or less lowball him. So again, how is that negative?

saying other clubs probably aren’t interested was the negative part. it’s a complete assumption

Haha seriously?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Geyer is offical

 

[FrodoTBaggin]

Andrews I believe is dev next year. No clarity in the press release, it's an assumption.

I am unsure what you mean, there is 27 confirmed.

@BlackWhiteGold, I think stated Kit was here for next year.

Happy to be corrected.

What do I mean? You were talking about spots left if Doueihi and Taylan stay, and if Sullivan goes...

I actually did find an article just then from tigers in 2024 stating both Lauliliis are signed for 2026.

We have one dev spot left for next year, and I believe its being held for Tavana.

Geyers and Andrews announcement both make mention of Benji being pleased to welcome him into his squad, so I believe that means both are top 30... as the club has been pretty clear with the other 5 dev spots this year.

Edit on Andrews - Game winning U19s SOO half's normally dont sign dev deals a couple of months later, they sign top 30 contracts. Andrews is Galvin's replacement, Madden is Sullivan's.

Mavrik Geyer set to join Wests Tigers for 2026 season

The Wests Tigers are pleased to announce the signing of backrower, Mavrik Geyer for the 2026 NRL season.

Hassett is better then Geyer but ok

Based on? Probably slightly higher work rate but nothing else.

LET RICHO COOK

 

[426Tlgerland]

I’m ok with these recent signings for depth but
AD. Just get it done before he walks out due to being treated poorly with pis week offers , get it done

 

[JB9918]

Big takeaway is Richo has identified our shortcomings.

Now have depth in the havles, backs & backrow.

In a perfect world a Lock & Front Rower then we are pretty good. If Doueihi stays it's basically a front rower.

Notable that it's seems unlikely Staines or Naden get a gig. I would like to see Mapalangi get a spot if possible.

Rough 2026 NRL/KOE Cup

1. Bula/Mason
2. Turuva/L Luailli
3. To'a/Bird

8. TeMay/K Luailli
9. Korosaui/Hope

13. Doueihi*/Murray

I am okay with Geyer. I don't think he is a weapon, but he adds depth to a position we don't have.

I am also calling it now, if he is an okay trainer he is above Sukkar and Seyfarth.

It’s official got the Members email.

From the limited times I have seen Maverick play 1st grade thought he showed real potential.

For starters he brings a bigger body than Hassett isn't that what our pack has been screaming out for.

So now the nrl have said the players will be fined $1500 each , yet the dogs fans can say and do what ever they like , and how f****** weak are the dogs management are for complaining, was it just a jesture for us flogging them , they really are becoming a rotten club

What about gulled going on about the non event the trainer was in the panthers game. Then puts a complaint in about our behaviour, what fn hypocrite!
The dudes a joke..

All good.

Agree on the other 5 development spots.

The word around is Tavana would be ideal & to be honest makes sense as all others on development deals are forwards.

Andrews you'd assume top 30 but there was a bit of talk it was a development for next year.

Yeah Geyer really announced himself as a player of potential a couple seasons ago. He hasn't progressed much since. I am hopeful he can kick on and it is more limited opportunities (and some of his untimely injuries) holding him back.
For the record I was the one saying Geyer is a better player. Hassett is the guy I think will be a career reserve grader.

 

[weststigerman]

Hassett is better then Geyer but ok

Hassett probably wants a longer contract. 1 year works out okay with Saukuru and Godinet coming through IMO

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Josh Kerr back to the Dragons.

 

[Groundup]

If that is Ian Roberts son then thats a couple of interesting signings with geyer

I just nearly choked, good god man

 

[tigahhh]

a possibility roberts has brederlows development spot for next year as he hasn’t kicked on so much?
