Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

no wonder we are a basket case club, the 3 development kids really not up to 1st grade and well the other 2 are cover at best. would rather we had brought 2 decent player with there money.

The bottom line 13 of your 30 are depth signings who will play most of the year in Reggie's and that's where these kids will learn there trade

When you make sense here..it really doesn't work..sorry..

This site is getting boring . No juicy goss for ages

Pretty sure one of the spots that to be filled is a development player. That would take us to 29, and we don’t need 30 until next June. Don’t get too excited.

god help us if we sign another development, are recruitment is a pathetic joke.

Our latest development players appear to have a faster transition to ISP and hopefully NRL next year. That we've signed three more Aust Schoolboy reps seems to indicate the club recognises the faster transition of Mikaele and Smith can be replicated by other better credentialed juniors.

The problem is a lot of our top 17 should be in our bottom 13.

Yep I know where your coming from. That may take some time to rectify

Shaun Johnson has always had monster packs paving the way for him, yet he only is able to turn things on sporadically…when hes hot hes white hot...but hes a bit like Benji of quite a few years ago..plus we have LB

 

[krayola]

Brooks will re-sign with us. He’s very happy at the club.

Tigers will have to be careful here .. if there is any talk that Maguire is interested in Johnson .. Brooks might get itchy feet and want out .. ??

Most clubs will contact Johnson's agent. WT will be one of many. The club wants Brooks and Brooks want to be here, so no itchy feet for him.

I've done a whole thread about this, but the "we aren't recruiting any good players" moaning really is dumb. We've signed Mbye, Matterson and Momirovski in recent months. That is at the very, very least more high-profile recruitment than most clubs have done. It might be more than all of them.

The POM posted a couple of weeks ago that Maguire would be our coach and that Luke would re-sign.

 

[Russell]

Why would we want SJ?

We have the Dally M half back of the year.

That's the official NRL transfer tracker. I left out the re-signings, must have missed the Souths one.

This is the issue (not saying you're doing it, incidentally - but the people who think the Tigers are somehow off the back of the pack recruitment-wise definitely are). We all know what the Tigers have done but generally only have a vague idea of what's going on elsewhere other than that we know there are players signing for other clubs. If you look at the actual transfers on a club-by-club basis it becomes clear that the Tigers are at least holding their own and in fact probably doing more than most.

But who likes facts nowadays?

 

[gallagher]

Yay, the kings of a 6 month buying period.

Top 4 here we come.

We'll probably win the whole thing.

I get the frustration, but from the list 2041 posted only the cows have done better imo.

It is going to take consecutive finals appearances and maybe a premiership for the angst to disappear, but as cellar dwellers, those things only happen if you make them happen. I'm at least slightly excited for 2019 now.

Knights have signed Jesse Ramien, Tim Glasby, Edrick Lee and Mason Lino for 2019.
Eels have signed Blake Ferguson, Junior Paulo and Shaun Lane.
Cowboys have signed Ben Barba, Nene Macdonald, Kurt Baptiste and Tom Opacic (plus a few other depth signings).
Titans have signed Tyrone Peachey, Shannon Boyd, Ryley Jacks and Tyrone Roberts.
Roosters have signed Angus Crichton, Ryan Hall and Brett Morris.

They're probably the clubs with the best incoming talent, along with the Tigers with Mbye, Matterson, Farah and Momirovski. We've done alright but so have the Titans, Eels and Cowboys in particular.
