Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[jirskyr]

Lots of shit happens come November

This time last year we didn’t even think Terrell was an option

He wasn't!

 

[innsaneink]

Isn't the chat that Moses only gets a cut from this Doueihi contract if he signed with Dragons? Something about AD already initiating contract discussions with Tigers before taking on Moses as a manager.

I think thats Bulas situation not AD

 

[Camel2281]

Are you serious richo???

Charlie Staines, Brent Naden and Reuben Porter are all putrid

Only one i'd retain for depth would be staines

I think it is more likely the DT throwing names off contract into the story

 

[Camel2281]

Would have been nice to keep Staines to have an experienced and generally safe back who can fill a couple of positions if/when required.

Naden can do that to be honest

Correct. Moses isn't his manager. He only engaged him to help Secure a deal elsewhere if required. Probably paid a flat fee

It's amazing what is said and what people repeat. Hage said he could play Flegg next year and may play a bit of cup. Notbsure how that became pushing for the 17.

I just went back and checked. Comments from Adel. Wests Tigers Podcast, Collab Pod from the 50 minute mark.

“I don’t think he’ll play Flegg. I think he’ll come and either play NSW Cup or First Grade”.

“He looks every bit of a first grader, like a senior footballer”.

“Don’t be surprised to see him push for a first grade spot straight away”.

I’m giving myself a victory by knockout on this one 😉

 

[JB9918]

So overall we know 100% we have 5 development spots sorted for next year.

Andrews unlikely, Roberts maybe...

Time will tell. Either we have 1 spare development spot or 1 spare Top 30 spot once the May & Sullivan deals are done.

KO!

 

[Demps]

you sure? I’d heard Development 2026, Top 30 2027-28, similar to Haywood and Moors.

Just the info I was given.

If that's the case, that'd be the final development spot taken. Which I've heard they're promised to Taateo already.

Perhaps some truth to the Charlie Murray info?

Na, wasn't it mentioned... Moses isn't his agent just an advisor or something.

If he got a new deal elsewhere, Moses would get a finders fee, if he stays at the Tigers - nothing.

Read that on here, apparently AD said it on a post game radio interview.

 

[tigahhh]

He's only played 1 game of a cup...
He's a kid, who struggled to have an impact in u19 origin. Doesn't appear to have unheralded fitness like Galvin. Would be amazing if he was even competing for first grade next year

Personally think he'll make a good centre in a couple of years

struggled to make an impact? he won them the game & got man of the match

 

[Tom Shines]

Player of the year a few years back, out with ACL injuries for the best part of 3 years, now well in the running to be player of the year again this season.
Despite his bad luck with injuries, it’s not a bad record if you ask me.

Terrell May should be the player of the year by the length of the straight ….AD has never won it…. The last two winners are Bula and Sam F…two players you have been critical of plenty of times… now the award means something ?

AD had had injuries sure but he has disappointed on field plenty of times he has been here ..it’s the consistency that’s been in question, and hence why he has only one other team interested in him

 

[Spartan117]

Sure, I agree. Just the way Spartan said it made me think he had heard something and I was hoping he'd share.

Can't share, not from our Club so I dont trust it.

Plus I dont wanna jinx it.

 

[Tom Shines]

We seem to have hit our top 30 very quickly, though I’d like to think both Andrews and Roberts are some kind of development deals.

Some people want to concentrate on “improving the depth” ..,then are surprised we got no spots left to sign someone who “falls out of a tree “ like May did last year ,

I still want to know if all those people who had a meltdown when Klemmer and Bateman got punted still think they would have made any difference to our team this year or if, in hindsight, it was the right call to free up money for other players.

Assume Taylan and AD sign… we have a spot left ? Do you expect this team to make the 8 next season ? It still doesn’t look like Top 8 team to me ..

You won’t jinx it ,spit it out , share it’s Friday and we don’t have any Wests Tigers footy this weekend , give us something

are they after a certain player ?

haha I'll just take some guesses based on past rumours and our need for forwards. Could be a shot at Tino, Kikau or NAS. The first two have put feelers out and it is then up to clubs to make the money available to afford them. Let's see what happens.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Javon Andrews seems like a good prospect. I was interested to read that he is keen to come to WTs because of Marshall. Well done.

Also, looking at the Titan's under 20 team, one of the players on the bench is Oscar Laffranchi. Our Laffranchi if my memory is correct was from Northern NSW?

 

[Spartan117]

Sounding out a few according to an agents brother.

Sounds like our guys are switched on to improve the squad.

Positive

Tino... now that would be immense. Massive motor same as TDM.
