Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tony Taco]

Yep on your own, we have made some real average signings lately! Was hoping for better.
Why do u think the rooters let Roberts go, cause he had a top 30 next season and he wasn’t good enough to fill it.

Roberts is developing nicely, my compadre who works in the rorters hierarchy was angry as a rattlesnake on a hot skillet they cut him loose.
Chrichton 2.0.
Lets see. Both he and Mav are from winning systems so maybe some of that culture finds its way across as a definite bonus.

It's rugby league mad science but could Skelton make a 2RF he's big enough and when he comes in from the wing seems to run the channel that a second rower runs anyway.

In attack yes, but he doesn’t strike me as someone who would have the defensive work ethic or resolve to play infield and make 30 plus tackles per game.

If this theory is correct I would expect to see a very strong performance against the Sea Eagles on Sunday since we will be fielding 14 -15 of the players who we are banking on moving forward.

. . . . . . . and coming off a bye, that would be really special.

Bring it on. 🤣

Ok , you've obviously never seen the kid play, or had a kid that lost a spot because of him. For starters he's never played consistently in any position throughout his career. He started as a fullback and 5/8 that would dabble with a bit of prop. Then for the Magpies he'd play on the wing, and then moved towards the centres and has this year found his home in the back row.

Granted he's not one of our first choice back rowers, but he's ahead of Sukkar, Godinet, and should start the off season on par with Geyer and Roberts and see who plays where based on form and fitness over the offseason. Seyfarth should be considered a prop exclusively now. A 5th choice prop.

We would be mad not to see how Sol Saukuru develops next season.
He has his faults with lack of work ethic and being a bit suspect in defence on occasions particularly when he is tiring, but he’s big, fast, aggressive and adds plenty of x-factor and strike power when he runs the ball.
I really wanted us to sign someone like Sasagi from the Raiders or Talakai from the Sharks as players that could add versatility off our bench and provide genuine competition to our likely starting edge back rowers in Samuela and KPP, but with some exciting young back rowers prospects in Geyer, Sukkar, Roberts, Saukuru, Godinet and Laupepa, we now have plenty of NRL hopefuls which should see one of them emerge as our regular NRL number 15 and the rest of them challenging strongly for that spot.

He's been injured for half of every season for the past 7 years.

Why do we think that will somehow magically change??!

Sure It could, but probability will suggest it won't.

He's actually injured every tackle.

Can be very good on his day, let's hope the injury Gods finally smile upon him.

The best part of 3 weeks off and once again named as fit and healthy to play, no excuses tomorrow.
Can the real Starford To’a please stand up.

But.. Staines wasnt released, and Murray isnt top 30 for next year, so how would that free up anything for a middle?

I've also heard nothing on Bird being shopped. The intention for Bird was never that he would be a consistent feature in our top 17. He's purely depth, is on depth $ and will be gone in 12 months anyway..

We have 2 spots for next year as is. And let's be real, Saukuru and Sullivan would be the first 2 we look to get rid of.

Sullivan yes but Saukuru is young, just move to the second row this season. By all reports it’s going well.

 

[Bellend]

Forget Sullivan he does not want to come back, Bennett wants him at Souths. This is a easy win win for the tigers.

Saukuru i would let him be a bench player for the last couple of games in first grade, Watch him run he is the only second row that runs with intentions.

with roosters beating bulldogs we now need:

Round 24
Broncos over dolphins
Tigers over manly

Round 25
Tigers over cowboys
Eels over roosters
Many over dolphins

Round 26
Tigers over raiders
Storm over roosters

Round 27

Wahs over manly
Rabbits over roosters
Tigers over titans
Raiders over dolphins

And with this we make the 8, very very slim chance but there’s still a chance

Only problem is we need to win 4 in a row. Last time we did that was prob the last time we made the finals. 2 birds with 1 stone, hopeful but not optimistic. Hope I'm made to eat humble pie but just can't see it happening. Though if it were to happen now the time, with all the finals teams heading to finals not wanting injuries, they might just play to complete the 80 min and get to the finals games unscathed so might not put up a big fight.

He needs to stand up for the rest of this season and the next 3 now that he has been re-signed.

It’ll actually be 5, beat dogs before the bye. If there’s a will there’s a way

This could come back to bite us, he looks a very good, fast, tall, athletic outside back.

Historically - we don’t like tall outside backs

 

[Tigerbenb]

It's not that attacking part of the game that is his issue

Star doesn’t like the physicality of the game full stop.

Oh god not this “ another junior “ gone again the house folds we all cry . Other clubs loose juniors all the time , it just doesn’t get published or pissed on about as with other teams because it doesn’t make clickbait hits . Tigers do because it’s easy to kick on with , because of our results over especially last three seasons. Chill peeps
