Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

My predicted Tigers squad 2018:

1\. Tui Lolohea
2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Moses Suli
4\. Taane Milne (SIGNING)
5\. Alex Johnston (SIGNING)
6\. Josh Reynolds
7\. Luke Brooks
8\. Russell Packer
9\. Jacob Liddle (hopefully Nathan Peats but probably Liddle)
10\. Ben Matulino (probably Matulino but i would like Lawrence or a player like that)
11\. Chris McQueen
12\. Corey Harawira-Naera (SIGNING + GK)
13\. Elijah Taylor

14\. Matt McIlwrick
15\. Chris Lawrence
16\. Sausoe Sue (just see it happening as much as i dislike it)
17\. Alex Twal

Pretty nice team i think. maybe a new prop and an 80 minute hooker, but Liddle is still good. Im just hoping Reynolds will perform, only doubt about Reynolds is he works better with a STRONG pack and he might not be Josh Reynolds at the Tigers (im implying his personality). But still side that could very well make top 8.

That's a pretty poor bench.

Tigers have made a play to get fonua here before June 30\. Watch this space

Great! Fingers crossed.

Hope we get him. Kev to ISP. A couple of new player's to revitalize the side. Won't make the 8 but avoiding the spoon would be great

Fonua should be competing with Nofoaluma for the right wing position. We need a winger who has Korobeite or JAC pace on the left wing.

Ok well we don't have one of those so let's just play the best two wing options we have instead…

We have no excuses. Johnston is available and we have the money. I'm sick of our wingers lacking the ultimate weapon, pure pace.

Johnston is joining the dragons - smoking gun posted it.

x2\. Couldn't agree more. If we can't get Johnston hoping we have a good crack at Kato Ottio at the Raiders. Big, tall, fast.

Im hearing on the news that a couple of clubs are gambling on the 2018 salary cap being $10 Mil and have already spent up to that mark, but if it's more like the $8.5 Mil that was predicted … these clubs are in serious trouble as they will have to have to do some clean outs. Dogs, Storm, Rorters and Sharks are the most likely clubs.

Dogs have been reported as to more than likely having to get rid of 4 more top players .. Kasiano (Storm are interested but they are also probably already over the predicted cap), Graham, Eastwood. Morris boys and Hopoate could be on the chopping block.

We would be mad if we haven't already offered a bus ticket to these some of these guys. I would like to see the mad englishman here .. !! Graham is really good friends with the Grub, let's see if the Grub can persuade him on the bus.

Pretty sure CHN will stay at Penriff, and NAS is reportedly going to leave the Storm for the Cowboys.

So who do we need for the centres / wing position:

Ferguson
Thompson
Fonua
Johnston
Edwards
Hopoate
Milne

Oh then it must be true.

So Cleary has been here 7 weeks and weve signed 7 players. 4 weeks to go before june 30\. So another 4 players to come going on that ratio…. 😉

Ferguson (no thanks)
Thompson ISP Cup
Fonua highlights reel from ESL looked good but so did Jordan Rankin's.
Johnston Yes please
Edwards Yes please
Hopoate slow as a wet week no thanks
Milne Yes please

Another option bring Korobeite back from the Rebels. Decision on franchise made on 20 June.

Would love that half from the roosters.

Conn0r McGr3gor?

Had a blinder yesterday, why didnt we snap him up!

Conor McGregor is the Irish MMA fighter…Connor Watson is the Roosters utility. We apparrently tried to get him but the Roosters won't release him (and he's under contract until the end of 2018).

Exactly!
And McGregor will go as good in boxing as this Dr Watson would go at the Tigers, he was awful yesterday, I don't think he did one thing well…

In all honesty i doubt the dogs will let the Morris twins go
They are match winners who offer a lot, surely dogs are not that stupid

I would just bypass Johnston and go straight for Ottio. If not him then just target a U20's gun with some pace, there are a few out there. In the meantime, Fonua seems to be probably out 2nd best option behind Nofoaluma…

James Roberts is _**still**_ off-contract.

Yes they have a proven record of stupidity.
