Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[JB9918]

Well let's expect an update to the signing tracker if true.

You'd assume Bunty to Top 30.

But who knows. Best case scenario they paid out Will Craig, upgraded Bunty to the minimum & signed Attard.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

I would agree with you if 2025 never happened, I think he took a massive leap after his transition to prop. He was running for 200 metres with 30-35 tackles a game consistently.

I’d have him on the same tier as Murray and Carrigan personally.

I think he’s the best prop in the game behind Hass, Tino and Tapine.

Any concerns signing him off a career year? Luke Brooks Dally M Halfback of the year rings a bell.

Are you saying he could be the worst player of all time? Second only to Luke Brooks.

That guy has made a career out of potential from when he was a school kid. Pathetic.

Pole is not leaving bro!

Honestly I really hope not.

I was actually looking forward to our team staying as is. Bula at 1 and Pole doing his stuff.

When Hastings signed, commentators had us making the 8 just because of how "balanced" the team was. Sadly the team was balanced and crap.

Now, I feel were weak in the halves but pretty balanced with who we have signed.
I am just hoping it stays that way OR improves.

weve signed Jack attard

Nah, he has been a gun for years just went up a few levels moving to the front row. He’ll be a top 5 front rower for the next 3-5 years IMO

I don't think so.
Craig was seen signing a new contract a few months ago. If it were already done he wouldn't need to sign anything new.

This all sounds incredibly off, and different to the previous roster lists that were put out.

There is just no reason it logic to Craig. If he is there pay him out and release him immediately.

Given almost the entire club is on holidays bar the membership team this all just sounds very strange and incorrect

He was seen signing documents. Whether that's a contract with the tigers, his management company or a rental agreement I don't think we actually know do we?

Astute signing... Interesting if we have also locked Bula down long term though.

He signed the NRL contract in 2022...

I would suggest the other was management related as at the time his management posted it.

When you go back & look at his schoolboy highlights he was a gun. Left winger outside our old mate Lachie G!

Wo

Keon has publicly come out today saying he’ll be testing the open market come November 1st and has also stated he’s a prop moving forward (hoping to attract the same $ as others)

Rabbits cap surely taking an hit after looking at their roster especially after the Fifita addition.

He can play 80mins at prop similar to Terrell. The combination of those two as our starting middles would be scary.

I think with the recent KPP addition on our right edge, all we’re missing is a dominant middle to partner May and he fits that criteria perfectly. I genuinely believe he’d complete our team. Don’t forget the Richo link with South Sydney and having played alongside Benji as well.

My question to fellow forum members is if you’d guarantee Keon’s signature…. would you offer a $1 million a season deal to get it over the line.

My answer….. YES.

Would ultimately come down to the health of our cap but I certainly would be considering it

What if he gets drafted to Capetown - that's a real possibility. I guess the mojitos may not be as nice in Cape Flats or Mitchells Plain

Cape town is one of the most beautiful and fun cities in the world.

We did upgrade Will Craig after all

Who is WIll Craig?...any good or another Brendon Tumeth.....

 

[Tito Santana]

Who is WIll Craig?...any good or another Brendon Tumeth.....

Another Brandon Tumeth.

Will Craig should start looking for a job at Bunnings.

If there was ever a wasted roster spot this is it.
Don’t see him playing NRL ever.
Hopefully we do everything we can to free it up.

 

[Merlot]

At this stage it apears to be the only option on the table. Who are the candidates you have in mind?

Jaxon Rahme , Ethan Roberts . someone to jump up out of the box. if AD or whoever? ,i just hope they own it

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Will Craig was talked about in good light a few years ago. Not ever seen him play I can’t comment but I ask this. How did he go this year. Has he been carrying injury. What are his strengths and weaknesses.
I ask this because I haven’t seen any context for why they believe he’s not worthy

Storm are looking at Tino and Jaxson Purdue, rich get richer 🙄

Big Tax free dollars says he would somehow manage

Can we get Faalogo then ? Imagine being him … waiting for his opportunity and as soon as Paps leaves they are going after Purdue? Call me a little skeptical on that one ..
