Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[mtd#2]

There’s a rumour on Facebook book that tigers looking to sign MANN from the broncos, no sure where it came from , I don’t think I would like him

Everything else aside, on his day, esra is one of the best #6's in the game..

But we already have douhei, latu and Andrews who are also #6s. Averillo at a stretch too.

If we were to sign a half we need a #7..

Has that been confirmed?
All I have seen is a 1 year offer?

believe it has been confirmed

He won't be a fraction of the cost after reaching his potential so it's a weird comment.

At 500k, we are definitely losing out at this stage, so any savings we get going forward is simply paying back the 3 years of overs we paid him to be injured.

Hmm, surprisingly the Wests Tigers fail to develop a junior half into a NRL halfback.

That's surprising to everyone, except those who know this club!


Not arguing, but that Latu is a 500k fizzer should be no surprise to anyone. We can't develop halfbacks.

He hasn't been on 500k

Bit early to be writing off Latu. Whole season not being jerked around with bench spots and positional changes will do him wonders.

Ok...what has he been on?

I was basing if this art8cle where they say 500k average - each kid got 2 million over 4 years.

Not sure where the other figures come from.

Media always lie.

Sam got more than Latu. Not sure on Sams contract, and to be fair I cant put my life on Latu's, but starting around 200k came from a good source

Ok thanks for correcting the article.

How do you know so much about their salary?

 

[happy_tiger]

And yet he's still played more origins than you and I put together.

It's like my cleaner criticising my accountant over tax matters. 😅

So that excuses him

 

[weststigers]

So that excuses him

From my cleaners criticism in a way, yes.

 

[liltiger]

No chance Cleary would ever come back. Why would he? Why would he want to stain the legacy he’s built the last 6 or 7 years?

Thats true, though maybe the challenge. Although our salary cap was in a bad spot when he left.

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I was talking these days not past.
Pardon my ignorance but I would love to know how many Lebs (NOW),in our ranks, v our island brothers ?
Can you please help with the breakdown ?

Top of my head Doueihi Twal Sukkar in the top grade, not sure on the lower grades surely theres a few.

Dearden and Strange are the benchmark halves at the moment. Campbell, Mam, Luai, Munster and Burton have all fallen off the cliff.

Averillo is a centre, not a half.

Back when they signed my brother knew someone at the club and my brother new I had been following Latu since he was 15. The info then was the media report of 500k a year was just the final year and it started closer to 200k in year 1. This forum has had many posters cling to that price tag to bag the output of Latu despite being corrected many times. Not having a shot at you, its easy to miss some posts and you certainly cant read them all, but others have been told and refuse to take it in because it doesnt suit their need to criticise a kid who a coach wont use properly.

Will Latu play 7 under Benji ?

Will Latu play 7 under Benji ?

If he is the chosen one, please give him so quality time there now…
