Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

at a pre xmas drinks for those that aren't welcome ,later in the year. Will be placed near Unco Brian ,nudge wink, is why i can't divulge the whereabouts of 3 top players on the move. Are we in it to win it .Ask Richo about it, just a hunch
Come on give a few more details ?
 
No to Klemmer. Yes to Bateman and Sullivan. Could only speculate as to how much.
We are paying a big chunk of Buds wages. And we sign Madden. To fill the back up half position we are paying bud and Maddens wages. I read somewhere that broncs are paying some of Maddens wage if like to know how much cause it's this kind of business this club needs to stop. It wasn't long ago Benji chased for Buds signature hard and payed him well. Smh
 
How can stefano come out and publicly court and lure him to the club when he’s under contract to us? The NRL has no backbone when holding up players to their contracts nowadays
At the end of the day it doesn't matter if he says it publicly , they talk often I'm sure he's telling him to join the storm. Until we create a team thst players want to cone to and not want to leave this shit is always going to happen.
What players does W360 want from our team . Parra fans wouldn't be to happy with Lomax if rumours are true
 
Seriously mate who really gives a flying rhino F when the injury happened and when he was signed.

He turned out to be another dud in a long list of them, let's just hope that there's not many more in the future.
Why are you directing this at me? It's the other guy who seems to think when he got injured is a big deal. You may notice that I had him on my short-list of worst signings we ever made.
 
Yup i thought Ben Mataulino was great, unfortunately his knee was wrecked in the end
Said it before and I'll say it again. Our WT, particularly the forward pack, started to lose it the night that Ben limped off Parramatta stadium. There has been a lack of authority in the middle since.

He gave our middle some real starch during his time with us and think that he only missed one match prior, despite having little to no cartilage on one knee that relied on the odd clean out.

yes well said!!!
 
Mate it was just a fun post laughing at our shitty signings, you're the one who wanted to relitigate the whole thing. I was just trying to bring a little joy to everyone's life.
It’s strange that you are portraying yourself as just making a happy go lucky post, and because someone had a disagreement in a couple of things you said, that person was being super serious. You’ve been here a bit too long to know how this place works to resort to that silliness.
 
Would be a great get origin rep who's still playing good football and in a pinch can play centre if injury happens mid game plus could teach the young guys about partying to hard in Amsterdam

Been there done Amsterdam and you really need an experience guy to have a flying time there
He's also proven at rep level as a lock in the past when needed as well

Ok champ, whatever you say. Have a good weekend.
 
any seats available the next trip . i be front n center before any other position


There could be but first thing alot of people want to see is Ann Frank's house then the Heineken brewery tour then hope on the boats in front of the brewery then find I think it's called Mad dogs cafe for a few cookies and some space cake

Some stories in the memory bank hahaha
 
Wrong. He had neck surgery in August 2017, ending his season... for the Gold Coast Titans. We subsequently signed him on a three year deal. He spent the first 10 rounds of 2018 playing reserve grade for the Tigers before making the first of his 10 total first grade appearances in round 11. Absolutely shocking signing.
Would McQueen be medically retired now?

Look, we can say a bunch of those early signings were bad. But we signed McQueen when he did NOT have a neck injury. Ofcourse we should have somehow gotten out of the contract once the neck injury was revealed. ... Which sucks for McQueen unless he gets $$$$ compo.

I honestly thought McQueen, pre-injury would have been a decent signing. He just had a lot of Mongrel in him and helped Souths make the finals. Ofcourse he wasn't the tallest player, nor had the crazy strength that others had... So hey perhaps it was a total mistake to look into him at all.


So, what do we do if we sign a player and they get seriously injured prior to arrival?
Should we have an escape clause and leave someone to dry? Sucks for them, but if we don't then we are screwed. Perhaps we need the option to medically retire, although unsure how compensation works...

It was known before we signed him. If we didnt know, we shouldve.
He was a great player when he was picked for Origin, no doubt his serious injury played some part in his drop pff in form


"Even before it was announced in mid-April that McQueen would be joining the Tigers on a three-year deal from 2018 the 2014 premiership winner was talking with the Titans team doctor and specialists about the need for surgery."

From my memory- no dispute as I could be wrong
He did need surgery prior to signing but was still playing at that point.
I think after signing he aggravated further in a game for the titans and had to get surgery before playing again
