I second this question.

My mail is we have a handshake deal for Nick Meaney for 2019.

However if this ValHolmes things posted in other thread has any legs anything could change.

If I'm wrong don't shoot the messenger :laughing: !!

So is this behind the Knights back?

Meaney is off contract this year

But the knights are talking contract extension with him next week apparently.

The young guys have to grow into their bodies remember Benji took about 3 years to stand upto the rigors of first grade

This is why Jacob Liddle needs time, he will be a star when his body mass increases.
 
RUMOUR:

Curtis Rona has been spotted training with our first-grade squad. Apparently a done deal with us but just waiting for the cooling off period!

This all could be BS but i guess that's what this thread is for.

I did and good point. I'm not convinced myself.

I hear the roosters are looking at Holmes, the clincher is they will pay him fullback money but play him on the wing.

He's being paid fullback money to play on the wing the Sharks which he isn't thrilled about apparently.
 
I’ll admit it was a joke, being that the roosters will pay him Tedescos salary to play on the wing I.e 1 million.
But anyway;

I think the problem Holmes has is related to the opportunity that comes from playing fullback as oppose to wing.
The kid played fullback all his juniors.
The difference to playing fullback and wing this year is the impact to his future contract.
Cronulla resigned him on ‘fullback’ money when he was starting out and the club had limited options, he may have taken a little less knowing he was guaranteed fullback.
No that that’s no longer the case his both not enjoying his current position and his future at fullback is in jeopardy if he stays at Cronulla despite what he is getting paid.
Enter the Tigers or any other club looking for a fullback.
Still, if he rips it up over the next couple of weeks it may just settle his anxiety and dugan will return a centre.
Could also be perfect timing for the manager to get some feelers out.

Flanno wont keep him they have that young kid comming back from the broken jaw as soon as he is ready Holmes will get a release this will be the second time the Tigers have gone after Holmes Flanno needs to buy forwards

Speedster and future super star.

Yeah we should be chasing him as well given he's off contract. For the price you'd pay for Valentine Holmes you could in theory get Katoa + Meaney + a fair bit of change left over. There's no guarantees with up and comers like Meaney and Katoa but they've both shown enough (and are old enough) that one or both are likely to turn out good first graders. With Holmes you're paying a big premium for his international status which is as a winger, not a fullback.

Might as well pursue all options…
 
So let me get this straight, we've signed:

Valentine Holmes
Nick Meaney
Curtis Rona
Oliver Clark
Jai Field

Is that right? Should be a good week.

I have learnt not to become involved with talk of players signing just always disappointing when it does not happen ..hopefully soon the club will sign someone of note that we can get excited about.

Sounds ok if true but still no x factor Tigers need some very much

So does that mean Tim Grant ,Sue and Kevvie are gone ?
