Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[crazycat]

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."

McQueen: Neck surgery saved my career

Wests Tigers new recruit Chris McQueen has opened up on the neck surgery that he says saved his career.

OMG...

So he already had a massive neck injury, we sign him, then round 15 he gets a knock....

"Indeed, it was McQueen's desperation to line up for England at the World Cup that saw him continually delay having surgery until a knock he suffered whilst playing for the Titans against South Sydney in Round 15 left him with little choice."

WHAT ON EARTH WERE PEOPLE THINKING!@
I always thought it was our bad luck from an injury. Not a pre-existing condition that was well known... 10 rounds out from surgery... How on earth did Ivan, Pascoe, anyone sign off on that.

F no, too old thank God, that would be a dumb and dumber recruitment decision they would have contemplated, good riddance to them goonies.

Thanks. Just got awfully confused why we are crying over spilt beans from 20 years ago when we could be making up something current

I reckon we do a 2
For 1 swap with storm. They have Pole early, we get Nelson half price (seeing he only plays half a season) and the other dude front rower off contract

McQueen played for my local side this year Moranbah Miners from memory they fell 1 game short of the GF and he had a good year along with Sam Kasiani who also played

Who said Pole is leaving? And why do we wanna gamble on the fact a 23 year old will leave us and either risk his girlfriend’s career in Victoria with one NRLW club or have their relationship becoming long distance. Just cause he’s from somewhere doesn’t mean he has to go back and play there, he’s built roots here just have some faith in his loyalty

 

[user118245]

Also the fact Stefano is now trying to publicly lure him to the club indicates to me his private attempts aren’t going too well and needs the media’s help to egg him there

I think you are looking to deeply into it.

1 thing is sure ,if Pole' agitates for a release , Richo will dump him . quick smart and move on

That was a vindictive signing by Taylor to get rid of Farah.

The way he finished off the season, I’m sure some would be happy to pack his bags and pay for his plane ticket. Not worth the panic or paranoia.

started the year strong ,fell off a cliff, best years ahead , forgot how young he is

He was not fully fit but played on because the club needed him let him recover have another offseason and back to playing at his high standards

Fair enough but you can’t say we wouldn’t be better off with that swap based on overall season form

 

[balmain boy]

I’m telling everyone Robert’s is a gun ! He will take Sukkar /Seyfarth spot in that 17 .

He was very underwhelming again us in the last round of flegg. Would barely have made out bench, but had maybe checked out already by then.
