Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[bp_tiger]

so how the hell have the eagles been able to sign Trent, when there over the cap, also remember they had to upgrade suli as well, and its really funny that on NRL 360 they talked about this signing but never touched how they afford him. something stinks.

Let Kev go. We're covered and he's been a good servant. If he has a better opportunity overseas, let him go.

As for Rona lol. Fake news that just won't die.

 

[TYGA]

Tigers will do the right thing by the player and release him. Has been a good influence on the club in general. Hardly the bloke that would have a dummy spit.
I was told the Rona signing is false but given it’s now all over social media who knows.
I am starting to think these people read the forums and drum up rumours on twitter etc.

We will be in huge trouble if we lose Kev this year, injuries will happen it is a very long season.

Kev will not be released without another player being recruited. Cleary is a smart operator and Iam sure there is something going on behind the scenes.

As for the 30 contracted players by 30June, well Siro counts for one and I think we get to count Milne as another, so 28 is the magic number. If we are desperate you just upgrade a reserve graders contract for the rest of the year..no big deal

Yeah he will be the third centre gone in less than half a season! Not good for any team. Need a reliable depth signing soon, unless Tui or someone from ISP can step in? I really don't know.

By the way, does anybody know why Kev wants to leave? Especially now when we actually have a chance at making the 8? I thought he loved it here.

He’s off contract at the end of the year. Money talks he would be a star in the ESL

 

[will1999]

would like Braden Robson or Sam Mcintyre to get a top 30 contract if Naiqama leaves

Wikipedia… adding more to the rumour mill “The hard running back looks set to join super league giants Hull fc in the next few weeks”

Apparently Kev has asked for a immediate release to the super league. ( Wackos Whispers)

These whispers about KN are getting louder by the minute but if they're true I can't fault him for wanting the move but WT might have to say no until we sort out replacements. By my reckoning we've already lost three centres who we thought would be first grade candidates this year (Simona, Milne and Suli) and Kev would be the fourth. We simply have no depth in that position with no-one ready to step up from ISP although Robson was impressive on Saturday and could be a good player in a year or two. It would be reckless in the extreme to let Kev go until we have secured a couple of first grade centres.

True. But would you really want those 3 centres still at the club? No way.

Trust IC. He knows what he’s doing.

 

[Balmainian]

So is there any rumour of Addo Carr coming back or is this just irrelevant squabble?

Just crapping on , more chance of Whispering Jack Farnham retiring once and for all than JAC returning

John Farnham!!!
Now that’s a bloke we should look at signing.
When the going gets tough he could really take pressure down?

Can he kick?

Not sure about the kicking.
But his stamina is spot on…....just keeps coming back.

 

[oldprop]

Sad to hear that Kevin might be leaving. I’ve always admired his commitment. Been in good form this year. Hope he’s got a long term contract. Good luck Kevin. You’ll always be a Tiger.

All over Facebook now. Kev to super league and Rona to tigers. How good would that be

Rona is not coming to the Tigers, neither is Holmes.

 

[The_Patriot]

Reading between the lines it looks like we will announce a signing or two soon. Low key signings perhaps.

As for centre depth i hope they consider Lolohea, he can be dangerous from the position.

Yeah he would, but why not wait until the end of the year? He is doing well in a team that is actually going places this season. Why not finish with the team and see how far they can go, then have a good send off at the end of the year. I don't understand why it has to be right now!

Didn't the Kevin rumour originate from this forum?

 

[larrycorowa]

I don't reckon we will end up with any of these players being bandied around on here, we never do!

Tapau will go to the Sharks, Holmes will stay where he is, as will Rona & Folau, Boyd will sign with Newcastle because God knows they need more forwards! If Barba comes back it will be with the Sharks also, Cleary will re-sign with Penrith, Mansour will definitely be a Rooster and if Carney was allowed back I reckon Manly will be able to get him on the cheap - he'll just be happy to be back in the NRL so will probably play for biscuits.

There ya go, that's my predictions. Have I missed anyone?

Hodgkinson to Manly

Yeah well there you go! Old dodgy knees to play out the remainder of the season with Manly and retire at the end, replaced by Carney in 2019\. Nostradamus eat your heart out! :mrgreen:

Walker back to Souths

 

[Nucky_Thompson]

It was from fb and twitter. However there uk media linking kev to st helens for a baber swap or replacement

I’m pretty sure mansour re-deigned with Penrith.

I agree with you on that. I just can’t see him being fit enough to make the fullback position his own. Yet if he’s healthy you’d want him in your team.
