Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Odessa]

The games against Souths, cows and titans we should have 💯 closed out.. that bumps us up to equal 9th with manly and dolphins... The wahs and knights were 50/50 so I cant make a case there... But throw them in the mix and we finish 6th...

There were a few other games we got absolutely ripped off - the one that lives rent free in my head was the eels game where May was hit across the head with a shoulder in the first minute of the game (no review, penalty or sin bin), no penalty try when Moses smack luke across the head whilst scoring a try.. there were a stack of other BS calls that game too...

If we get those two points then we are equal 3rd...

The rub of the green does matter in the scheme of things... 2 points here, 2 points there.. it adds up.

The Eels game was the worst because the game was taken out of the Tiger's hands by the REF

The other games just Tigers being consistent Tigers

Also from memory we went ok in the game vs the Raiders at Cambo

throw the cheque book at lomax, he's the missing piece.

Why? He will only want to leave after a few months. We don’t need anymore disruptions.

 

[Tom Shines]

Maybe the players could be based in North Queensland and just fly over for home games

PNG want the team based in PNG …I don’t have a problem with that

 

[Odessa]

Does he play front row ?

That cost more

 

[hank37w]

Lomax back to the dragons would be funny

Was on 850K at the dragons
Went to Parramatta for 700K
Back to the dragons for say 600K

Is there any truth to the rumours that he paid compensation to the Parrasites to get a release from his contract?

Living proof that it's possible for anyone to make a small fortune, you just have to start with a large one.

This guy could be a financial wizard. 🤣

Hope so! And don’t the slimmers have to agree for him to be at another NRL club

The guy's an A hole he will possibly play overseas rugby until he's allowed back and go to the highest bidder or R360 if the fantasy becomes reality.

The question is would you look past the ridicule he's created if he could make a difference to your roster.

Does the A hole become the messiah, oh boy I hope I just created food for healthy not chaotic debate.

12 months ago I would of said yes please. Now with Taylan May and Makasini emerging and for what he would be asking for I think no.

 

[Tiger_claws]

Lomax can’t play for any Nrl team unless Parra approve it. It was in his release. Not sure how that would be legal though. It’s a no from me. Zac isn’t team first & we need everyone here to be team first

That what's in the papers along with Pap's

 

[Yossarian]

Delayed till 28. What’s to then stop it being delayed till 30, then, then 32 and so on. I feel Papi and Lomax were going to be the tip of the iceberg. Now they’ll just be the sacrificial lambs who threw a spanner into their own careers that every other player in the comp will see as warning signs.

You can only assume it’s money upfront like LIV golf. If they accepted anything else they have morons for managers.

You also have to take into account the close wins we had against the Sharks and Titans that we easily could have lost. Throughout a year there will be always be some that could go both ways, close wins and close losses.

The only reason we lost to knights round one was that Luai and Galvin were fighting over who was controlling the left side and there was no ball to the right. Very frustrating game that was there to be won, and won easily .

Do you think that's where the Galvin/Luai issues stemmed from? Lack of cohesiveness on the field?

 

[batboy]

Well every single news source says he is a free agent due to that option not being taken. Here is fox Sports as one of the many, many examples.View attachment 30266

I'd be shocked if the Option had to be taken up before the final agreed year of the contract.
Don't know I've ever heard of one that was, they're always until Rd10, or Dated a couple months into the season. They'd all be different though

That’s a pathetic excuse given they had so long to prepare for that game

Yeah, that's what I was saying further back. The deadline for the option likely round 10. Bula is however currently free to negotiate (post Nov 1) but can not sign elsewhere until either Tigers formally reject the extension option or after the option date expires (after Rd 10).
Snidest did his usual carrying on like dickhead saying that Bula is not currently free to negotiate elsewhere (negotiate not sign), despite every media outlet saying otherwise. Perhaps he is right and every news source is wrong. Would be nice for him to formulate why that is the case instead of his typical BS without giving any objective argument.

Tucker my friend you need to get a life. Goodnight

Excellent contribution as always.
Such a coward.

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

Don’t know but surely that lack of cohesiveness caused frustration which no doubt contributed to. Only guessing. Your use of words ‘lack of cohesiveness’ better than my poor choice of the word ‘fighting’. As we don’t know.
It could have been galvin had a piss poor attitude and lack of respect and already had ideas to get out. Or it could have been genuinely they didn’t not gel and that made him more inclined to reignite release requests.
Maybe a combination of above
We don’t know but hopefully better going into next season

NAh that’s not true bro . He loves the club from what I can tell . I wasn’t trying to start a pile on! I just think he’s super negative naturally…. I’m sure he’s got his reasons !
Sure I get frustrated with the negativity , as it’s opposite to the way I try and process things , but It’s completely not fair to devalue his love or anyone else’s love for this club . ( except people who openly support other clubs where they live , and come in here and stir shit with people who don’t realise) .
The dudes a contrarian. And it’s not a criticism it’s a fact. My missus is a contrarian as well. We literally talk about it . If the consensus is we all want Thai for dinner , she will say she wants Italian . And she honestly doesn’t know why , except from a “F U , i won’t do what you tell me “ point of view . Which is pretty mental . Then openly has to process that initial thought . My son has it as well , as it’s a form of neurodivergence, I can’t honestly remember which acronym it is . I want to say Oppositional Defiance , but I think that’s the one school teachers made up … and it is highly debatable .
But yea it’s a thing . Almost like a tick .. I could be wrong and he is a troll . But I don’t think so .

Your right, I know people like this.

I always thought it was a social habit/personality trait. I never thought it was a <Spectrum> thing/neurodivergence.
(BTW I still don't know who were talking about and can't be arsed scrolling back to find out...*)

The example that got me. 35 year old lady, single, wanted to be married:
"The first thing I do on dates is get into an argument to see how people argue"...
TLDR: worst dating advice ever.
Lived off arguing and being contrarian. made life hell for those around them.


*damn could be me.
