Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Benji has moved through 30 players in his time here.

I'm suggesting he has done his cleanout.

What comes next should be the results of that.

However- he's coming from probably the weakest point the club has experienced, so there is still a little deadwood to shift.

The introduction of the players coming through the ranks should be the making or breaking of his choices.

The club needs to hold their nerve with this roster. Still a lot of guys in their early 20’s who are years off their prime.

Turuva is one of our genuine NRL players and a fine finisher when given the opportunity. Manu has been a very special player but imo buying him at this stage of his career, with the retirement package he would demand, may result in the loss of some of our younger players important to our future.

Tito has been good but Benji needs to stick him permanently on the wing no centre or fullback he’s a liability in those positions

Haven’t heard anymore on these contracts 🤔

Past the 10 day threshold as well

Past the 10 day threshold as well

Think it’s suppose to be 10 business days

BREAKING NEWS: Latu and Samuela have resigned to go to the Chiefs.

But there's nobody else...
Back up centres a huge issue
In fact first choice centres are also ..

Really Tito, where can we verify that update ( re Latu and Samuela ) ?

 

[Tiger Woods]

Players that have recently re signed like tito, may, bula, doowee etc have taken their foot off the pedal & look like they're not trying now that their futures are sorted

We already have had multiple clean outs, just in the time since Sheens came back and left. First we brought in Klemmer, Bateman and Ipap who replaced the likes of Zane Musgrove and James Tamou who had replaced Packer and Matulino. Then Klemmer and Bateman became deadwood and we replaced them with May and Hunt who are now bordering on being deadwood themselves. We aren’t good at this kind of thing,

A bit rough on May and Hunt. That would make May the quickest decline from star player to deadwood in our history, even by our standards 😎. Royce was not too bad this year. I saw him last week and still looks pretty fit which surprised me

I've been away for a week, how are you guys managing 40-odd pages of recruitment chat with no obvious actual signings to drive discussion?

I admire your passion for the topic in spite of dire Tigers on field results.

Other teams fans get to talk about winning games and finals chances …this is what we get to talk about….

I wouldn’t believe it if I wasn’t witnessing it … what the hell has happened to him ?

He did 1 run last week when he just took in 3 guys aggressively and made about 20 metres.

I remember this is how he was playing at the Roosters...he needs to get back to that.

Slater's opinion is always worth reading and considering - "Aren't All In". Our season is gone and there is no hiding the reason why. Team over the individual always

Luai has taken a $100k haircut next season … but Parra benefits … not us … we still pay him $500k not to play for us..

Luai cops six-figure haircut after being moved on from Tigers

He will become the highest-paid player in the NRL when he arrives in PNG, but Jarome Luai will cop a $100,000 haircut when he joins Parramatta next year.

But not us.

No need for such doom and gloom yet is there?

Apparently Preston wants 800k and dogs are not willing to pay

Wonder what we are offering Samuela on potential
