Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

This is the dude we should go after and entice to the Tigers .. pretty sure his name was linked to us last season:

**Oliver Gildart**

This 22 year-old Wigan centre burst on to the scene in 2015 and hasn’t looked back since.

In just his 7th first grade game he was a Grand Final runner-up, but the following year he went one better, collecting his first Grand Final winners ring and scoring a try in the process.

In 2017 he crossed the tryline in the World Club Challenge win over Cronulla Sharks, and he added another try at Wembley later on in the year as Wigan narrowly lost to Hull FC in the Challenge Cup Final.

His performances throughout the season led to him being named Super League Young Player of the Year in 2017\. 2018 was another outstanding year for Gildart as he picked up his 2nd Grand Final winners medal and scored a try on his England debut against New Zealand.

At such a young age, he’s got plenty of time on his side if he fancies a crack at the NRL and his ability to play in the centres or out wide would appeal to a lot of coaches.

With his electric pace he reminds me a bit of James Roberts when he’s in full flight.

We were talking to him apparently but knocked him back for some reason. His size might be an issue in the NRl at centre.

why the hell would we sign either of these two losers, also they are not what we need. we need forwards, just like the past, sign has beans and no - hoppers, the cost of these two, we could up grade to 1 decent forward i guess.

Koroisau is probably the 2nd best running hooker in the game behind Cook. Koroisau, Brooks, Reynolds and Mbye would be a great running back line, I'm just not sure we have the forwards for them to play off the back of.

Api Koroisau is a great hooker. But I would only sign him if Liddle was out of the picture.
I remember reading a post how teams would win when a certain player played. Sharks, Paul Gallen takes the field and they usually win. With us it is Farah.
We couldn't keep Farah, Liddle and Koroisau. Even if we played 2 hookers. Hey if Manly are willing to swap I would not say no, but lets not focus on Hooker.

OK I know, We have a recruitment department that wants every hooker in the league. So if were going to get anyone Koroisau is pretty good. Naturally we will back him up with Nathan Peats, probably pinch Issac Luke too with Mitch Rein as backup. Oh and sign 3 development hookers. Why sign a forward or an impact player when we can bring 6 hookers onto the field hey!

Are we glad we did not sign dylan napa?

I feel for the bloke. Quite clear someone is out to really embarrass him and destroy his reputation.

Not sure about the validity of the rumour, but it is alleged a former Easts player was attempting to extort him.

Repeat offender.

I actually feel for the Dogs a lot on this, I even feel for Napa.
Your a 20 something guy. You meet a girl and have consensual sex, Meh. She tapes it (ok with your knowledge that's a bit silly) but hey nothing really wrong there. Then 4 years later you sign with another club.

Punish bad behaviour but don't punish people getting tricked, lifestyle choices or bad media management.

^JH starting roomers perhaps?

You obviously have not seen the 2nd video where apart from the cameraman, the only other person involved is Kane Evans.
 
just ONE SMALL PROBLEM we dont have any funds. :brick: :dead

If Cosgarve and Chee Kam go we should be able to scrape enough funds.

Recruitment of new players never seemed to be hampered in Cronulla when fined. Did curtail Dogs and Manly somewhat though. I think we have enough wriggle room though in $$$.

Looks like another player is about to be exposed. One of our old mates 😏

Just seen the name surface. Hopefully no tigers are involved. Guess everyone will know soon enough.

Rumours that dragons are shopping Aitken

Decent centre, proven in first grade, Momo is still an unknown quantity.

Bound to have injuries during the year, I'd be jumping on it.

Bloody oath! We'd be mad if we didn't have a crack. Aitken was very, very close to Origin selection last season.

Cheek will get off with a section 10 for the common assault charge
(assuming he doesn't have priors - driving charges won't count).

Not too sure about Musgrove's case - but there is $ room there.
