Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

He (Logan Brookes) looks to have added a fair bit of size over the off season.
He doesn’t look very tall, but he is now strongly built and I don’t think it’s a bad idea to at least see how he goes as a right centre.
I’m confident he would handle it well in attack, but like many young centres it would be a big test when defending.

Just let his body mature. Don’t know his age but looks at least 1 to 2 years away from his body being ready

Was it Micky Tannous who played 9 a few seasons ago in a trial that everyone got excited over ?

Idk. It’s a pretty long list.

Forget Lomax
We got the Herb

The Herb Superb. 🤣

 

[TigerSkins05]

He could be leading all the stats in the comp and Laurie Daley will pick somebody ( anybody ) else

Correct .. Daley hates us .. !!

Honestly who from our side is worthy of SoO ? Seyfarth ? Twal ? Toa ? Skelton? Bird ? you can list list any name and there's 6 or so better players who'd be further up the line. Luai is about the only one and he was picked. He doesn't need to hate us to not pick our players - they just don't deserve it.

Waste of a spot. Why bother promoting him? He hasn't earned a one year deal, and definitely not a 2 year deal. If Naden wasn't needed then why is Herbert? They're the same player.

Herbert's got a brain snap in him has he?

Probably not that bad a signing on less than half of what Naden was on, he has obviously impressed Benji.

I guess Herbert is on a minimum dollars so he is more a cap signing. He probably will only play half dozen top grade games in two years, but his contract allows you to throw more money at the elite players. Also unlike a young rookie , Benji knows he can probably get the job done when called on. Like you it’s not a signing that excites, but to balance the books you need a few of these types of signings

Triple M reporting a first grader in a big Sydney Club is probably going to be medically retired - adios Toa.

Guy will probably hold his shoulder as he signs his waiver.

Just upgraded Herbert too. Whole thing makes sense.

 

[hank37w]

Let's hope you are correct because it is the best possible outcome for both the club and Starford.

Sick of seeing him playing injured and causing long term pain and suffering to himself for the rest of his life.

Named to play this week but being medically retired. Your making sense again

Those players are better then someone who hasn’t played NRL since 2022 or professional football for that matter.

I'll try for a third time: please say who you think the Tigers should have signed instead, who is available now for minimum salary.

Could be any player / any Sydney club. WT certainly can't play Toa when he is injured as we know from 2nd half of last season that doesn't work well and he is a liability. Atleast we theoretically have better depth this year

 

[Tigerscout]

Yes, but did you admit your mistake?

You said Sukkar was good. Perhaps you're mistaken?

Or is it subjective? For example, if I feel he isn't good, is my truth as valid as yours? Who admits the mistake in that instance?

This goes far deeper than Sukkar and his under 9's record.

You've opened a Pandora's Box.

On whether he played prop in under 7's...I don't know the truth. Perhaps Tannous himself doesn't know either. You could ask him yourself and put the matter to bed. From all reports he is a great guy and will likely respond.

Bit too invested mate @weststigers

How many times was Olam named too champ?

 

[tiger_one]

I think the clue is "... in a big Sydney Club."

We were in '05.
Since then, probably not so much.

 

[king_sirro]

So Starford does all pre season, is named for the trial that we name our top team, all the while being medically retired. Bingo

Roosters and Souths are the ones that get away with retiring players to suit their salary cap.

His shoulder is stuffed. It can’t be repaired. Has to be him.

Could be Turbo?
