Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Cultured_Bogan]

I would suggest that with it being specifically mentioned with a player, there is a specific past injury they're checking has been successfully fixed and not hindering the player. Olam was the one that never could have passed the medical but we still signed him. Somewhat long ago there was a player we signed that had as part of his contract he was not subject to a medical before signing. And, we still signed him. Damn, I wish I could remember his name.

Was that Matulino? Or Ballin?

People over thinking as Mann might have passed a medical with us but might have a minor injury now and cannot play the PM game.
Doesn't mean anything as minor injury doesn't effect long term future with us.

Olam passed three medicals to play for WT, two of which were independent.

we got clearance to medically retire him because the injury that ruined his career developed during his time at WT. the NRL wouldn’t have approved it otherwise.

as for Mann, not really a surprise that he’s been scratched for the PM’s XIII when he injured his groin a month ago. that’ll heal up by the time preseason rolls around. I just hope it’s a one year deal with an option as opposed to two straight.

medical checks mean f all these days, think about all the duds we bought previously who passed medicals but either had to retire or were constantly injured

Thanks for that.

U don’t watch games do u , AD has scored many run away try’s , he could give madden 40 meters and still run him down , try watching the games before posting rubbish

Really. Are you assuming I've never watched our game, gone to all the Tigers games and supported them for over 25 years.

Go away old man.

Jason Cayless Ben Matulino - come to mind

 

[mtd#2]

He does love wests tigers, no doubt about that but he would rather us be Balmain so probably not ideal for him to own us

Agree 💯..
The last thing we want is an owner with a preference toward Balmain or Western Suburbs, or it will be much of the same politics.

Probably just pulled a muscle, few on the forum might have had that experience.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

That is a massive relief. So many forum members were saying he was coming back....

At present all paper talk re penrith nobody has apparently approached him.
He apparently wants a deal for 28 which may be the issue either way
I wouldnt rule out tigers just yet still pretty tight with benji although doubtful

Brooks is a 6 and has played his best footy at 6 with manly.
Bringing him back to play 7 would be typical tigers stupidity

play latu as the 7 brooks as the 6
would think AD would need to be shown the door before any of that happens anyway

So you want us to do to Latu what we did to Brooks? What we did with Benji when pushing him from 6 to 7? Insanity brother

At least getting Brooks back would detract from the obvious problems within this club and some Players.

 

[fjdiehard]

Would love to see the Tigers pick up this player.

Vunibola in the mix says Potter

I can pull a muscle getting out of bed or just opening the fridge lol.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Cayless maybe

He almost lost a nut. Legitimately.

Its the Adam O'Brien to the Dogs move.

Bring someone else in who the fans will criticise to take pressure off the guy under pressure, and who can become the fall guy when things inevitably fall apart.

So rather than say things that aren’t true , like AD ran the length of the field v dogs , one year ago he again when the field v raiders , did u watch them , just pointing out what u didn’t see 😳
