Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Wezt]

Why was it OK for the storm to sign Stefano for $200k less than we offered but it’s not OK for the Chiefs to do it with Hudson Young?

And Galvin signed for 300k less then what we offered as well

 

[tiger_one]

Tia Maria .,.is that still a thing ?

Some like it still champion @Tom Shines ...

Did you forget that Api was literally chosen to play Origin this year? Sure, Tallyn has a habit of finding tries but please tell me what other areas of his game are even remotely close to Api? The disrespect that Api gets from our fanbase is a joke sometimes.

What have you done ? 😂
No money for us couch potatoes …but I’m sure the dudes literally putting their bodies on the line to entertain us will appreciate it

The talent should always be best paid, no problem with that Tom.
I do have an issue with PVL and the way he’s selling the game and the PNG team startup rules are just cheating. But if you’re happy with that maybe I miss read the room. I wonder how much PVL has skimmed of the NRL the politicians and PNG? I would not be surprised if he’s holding hands with China while he’s doing them over.

Bra,
You know he won't get back to you yeah?

 

[Modman]

He is by far our best player and idk what games you blokes are watching. we can only dream of having a few quality players of Api s ability and effort week after week.

Because we are Shit, and why wouldn’t you leave this club as we are a shambles at the moment.

 

[Modman]

It's actually the exact opposite of that. We will never be competitive if we try to build a full roster in free agency, in fact what we need is a production line of first grade talent - from fringe to superstar - coming through the juniors. The teams that are consistently good only sign free agents to answer specific questions or top up what they produce themselves. Crap clubs keep thinking the next two or three flashy, expensive signings are going to solve all their problems.

So what are you suggesting we dont sign a player and put all on our juniors for the next few seasons. I agree we need to invest more in our junior catchments but this side is in desperate need of some quality players. The 7 position needs to be solved and Madden isnt a first grader., Our last tackle play is park footy level let alone our kicking game is as big as an under 10s game.

TDS is a long way from API everybody knows it, but be honest he can no longer be classed as a 80 minute player, not fair on to expect him to do current workload and coaching staff should not expect it either.

 

[Modman]

We can send them Jock Madden, he is a very similar style of player to Tannah Boyd.
I like Jock Madden is a player, but if we had the choice of him or TMM, I think TMM offers a bit more and is more of a run threat.

Yeah V lets swap TMM and give them Madden. lmao. No club would be able to pull of that magic trick let alone our club that has no idea.

just a reminder the tigers are paying 50k for madden to play for us this year, and 100k next year

if we resign him it will be for similar money that volkman is on

Good back up 7

Volkman is reported to be on 250k on his new deal

I don't mind paying Madden that at all. That's the price for a backup half

 

[jirskyr]

Fulfilling the Tigers drama article quota where there isn’t one

It's all about "beyond 2027" which means they are still here next year.

any gossip on Doueihi

 

[jirskyr]

Well .. Vlandys is trying to nip this in the bud So not sure it’s going to get worse .:: Canberra have offered $1.1m and PNG only $900k … so they will need to pay him $1.1m …

Well NRL can't really do that. They've had some kind of informal rule for a long while, that you can't registered BS value contracts, but they also can't compel clubs to "match the highest offer".

Roosters would have 50 signings that "accepted less money to be in the Roosters culture".

There's also an emerging legal issue if NRL attempts to block a player's preferred destination.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Yeah, Doueihi really stinks.

 

[Merlot]

Yeah, Doueihi really stinks.

That's yesterdays news

 

[Leck]

Despite all the BS, Adam is a good player who’s unfortunately plagued by an inflated ego.

Being a Leb, I can guarantee his mum and dad stroke that ego every time he goes home for dinner.

Whether he stays with the Tigers or goes to another club, he’ll have to change his behaviour.

Personally, I would have dumped the man child after his tantrum. He’s not a team player.

 

[Speed2burn]

What’s Anthony Watts contract situation atm?
