Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

You'd think we'd have enough in our cap to take on James Graham??

I love Graham but I don't know whether it's smart to pay a million bucks for him.. If they were willing to pay $300-400k of his salary however then that's another story.

Yep, like we're paying most of Robbies contract for Souths.

I'd def sign Graham esp if the dogs are paying part of his contract. Would that be a massive win for us!

If they are paying part of his contract i'm all for it. You'd have to think we'd be a chance to get him too. Good relationship with Reynolds.

I'd go more than that. Graham on 550k would be a steal.

Would be hilarious if Graham is forced out of the Dogs. Woods will be filthy and Dogs fans will be burning efigy's of him having forced out 2 of the clubs favourite sons.

Doubt graham would be wanting to play at the knights. Remember as much as the dogs might want to move him on he ultimately has the final say. And I doubt he'd want to go to the knights shambles.

Any word on who else we're in discussions with right now SG?

I think having Reynolds will be a good appeal for Graham to come here

still waiting on warriors decision on LoLo, should have that resolved during this "off week" one way or the other if that falls through I've heard they are indeed going to have a tilt at hoppa and have made enquiries already which is a good thing. He's class. Cleary wants Johnson as a winger not a FB so doubt AJ will entertain coming to Wests Tigers. Milne and packer have their offers as I've said previously so it's just a waiting game until those are decided one way or the other. Hoping someone is looking at Paasi pulu or Lawton from the GC. Any one of those will be a good pick up. Gotta sort that front row though.

Cool thanks for the update. I agree re Hopoate, especially after seeing him Sat night. Provided he plays Sundays he'd be a good pickup, and obviously works well with Reynolds.

Regardless of what happens with lolo they should go after hoppa, id like him to play centre to really strengthen the back line especially defensively

Completely agree. What do you think his asking price will be?

 

[innsaneink]

Still sweating on Packer and Milne.

Hopefully this week sometime.

**_We've got at least one of them._** Not sure if Russell has made up his mind yet.

Good to hear Willow, Milne will be a real good NRL centre, now for the other one

Damn…I missed this. When?

That's the thing with Hopoate. If he doesn't want to play on Sundays we shouldn't be trying to sign him.

anything under 450k is a steal. Analytics rate him a 600k player due to versatility.

Definitely makes sense to have a chat to him at those numbers imo.

They should get Hoppa or at least go hard for him if he is prepared to play Sundays. If not he isn't worth it.

LoLo might be good but I've never seen him and I'd prefer to have him as a back-up. Sign him but he has to play well to make first grade.

What is analytics? Only an idiot would pay anywhere near $600k for Hopoate. He had a good game the other night but from what I've seen he has been pretty damn ordinary the last few years.

 

[wtbus]

Hopoate will split opinions but he wouldn't be the worst player the tigers have signed. Can cover 1 to 5 if needed.

Career statistical data, win % with him in The team +/- PD when he's on/off the field etc it's ok if you don't understand not everyone does but basically it breaks down a players worth into a % in comparison to the salary cap.
