@tigerap We could fit those players in if we got rid of the players I mentioned.

AJ is Keebra Park product, sounds promising.


I’d like to know who was the brain child behind the WT decision to severe ties with Keebra Park...so many quality NRL players from that nursery that we could’ve had

Didn't know that tie was severed

Apparently the tigers were on the Gold Coast to watch this kid on the weekend, little bit of Ponga about him

Don't want to sound critical but not only is he playing Union but he is playing school boy union

Long way to go yet young man

Our recruitment at the junior level has always been good. The views of our professional recruitment officers will be much more comprehensive than ours.

Warren McDonnell brokered the deal with Canterbury

No, we couldn't. To get rid of those players we'll likely have to pay for half of their salaries then sign. And then to sign these players we'd probably need to offer at least

Brimson - 500k
Papenhuyzen 450k
Katoa 300k
Radley 500k
Hamlin-Uele 250k
Fotuaika 250k
Britt 150k
Bubba jnr 150k

So no, unless we can find a way to get all the other players you listed off our roster without paying for it, or other players suddenly decide they willing to take a paycut to play for us we'd have little chance of signing these players. Brimson perhaps the most likely

TBH I don't want half of those players.

Madge will take the slowly slowly approach recruiting to.address gaps in the list as opposed to scattering BUYING anyone available like his predecessor.

Who do you want..

Wasn't Matterson a cast off..?

 

[Spartan117]

Should get rid of
McQueen
Matulino
Packer
Reynolds
Mbye
along with the retirement of Farah

To get rid of players you need to Pay em put in full or find someone who thinks these players are worth money and will make their squad better.

Apart from Mbye, I something any of the names above make any ones team better.

Keebra have a deal with East's Brisbane according to the website. There is no reason why WTs can't park their young Qld recruits at the school

Thats right, but for some reason we don't do this.....buggered if I know why.....fyi..Thomas Mikaele is from Keebra

 

[teddy23]

Papenhyzen, Brimson, Brooks and Liddle would be an electric spine - BUT all of these players are ball runners unless Brooks can mould into a natural halfback and control the tempo through his kicking game then I can see that spine blossoming under the right pack but imo Brooks is a pure running 6 so it lacks a bit of maturity and control if we were to go through that path

However, it does possess a lot of x factor and with forwards who can offload such as Twal, Alioia and Mikaele our second phase play would be unreal

On a side note, Sione Katoa from the Sharks should be heavily targeted I'm not too sure about his co0ntract status but he seems stuck in reggies - he would be a huge inclusion im

[Blake Ayshford]

What are people's thoughts about Tyrone May from Panthers? Don't know his disciplinary situation but would good cover for Liddle next year, and even a backup 6.

 

[thegbone]

@Blake-Ayshford pretty ordianry. has a decent left foot step but thats all i ever saw in him

I think his off field behavior is something that we should stay clear of, regardless of however he plays

 

[WT2K]

@teddy23 katoa contract ends in 2020. Sharks have also just re-signed the young winger Ronaldo.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

@WT2K I think he has a twin brother as well who re-signed. Any one know which club has signed Lachlan Timm from Illawarra? Some Dragons fans are going off big time about him not getting a run in the NRL team and the answer was because he was allowed to signe with another team.

I hope that you are correct.

Keebra Park severed ties with Tigers & joined the Bulldogs in 2017 after the Bulldogs injected an extra $50000 into the system. The Bulldogs pulled the pin after 1 year due to the Broncos holding scholarship clinics at the school (Mikaele was part of one clinic in 2016 before the Tigers rushed to sign him). Easts put in less than the Tigers used to & have for the last 2 years which is the same deal as Clairveux which is through Darren Smith so they are essentially with the Broncos.
