Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TheDaBoss]

Tristan Sailor and COrey Oates r both off contract....not sure about oates but YES to sailor....




also with the mergin with bulldogs thing......

if it WERE to happen.. how would it work?

Sailor won't happen. His dad is negative about anything Tigers on the radio. Says we should relocate, says we are the worst run club.
They were talking about Jason Taylor one day and he was liked by everyone in the commentary team but Wendall. They asked why don't you like JT. His reply was " no reason"

The guy hasn't got one original thought.

i mean, if u ask anyone else about Taylor today they will probably say the same thing, but actually have reasons lol

I was told yesterday the forward we have signed is Capewell.

Solid and versatile player. Was with Qld squad this year too as 18/19th man.

I don't get the hate for JT. He did his best and got sacked.
People just hate him because it's popular to do so.

If we have signed Capewell then it's nothing to get excited about. I see far more upside with a guy like Seyfarth who has a lot of development left in him and didn't look out of place in ISP this season.

In keeping with the positiveness currently surrounding 'your feelings', and not wanting to take from that in any way, may I suggest Campbelltown is the summit for me, as Wests Tigers NEW fortress, followed closely by Gosford?
Have a great and positive day Momo :smiley:


Look I definitely agree with you about Cambelltown and South West. In Ideal world we would merge with the Bulldogs to form a pretty powerful and financially strong corridor of fans stretching from inner west and hugging Liverpool road all the way to the freeway to our home ground at Campbelltown City. Sharing the redevelopment cost with the newly formed Macarthur FC organization could also provide great crossover benefits. There is also a great sports center of excellence there also. The NRL would be all for our total commitment to the area so that would also attract benefits and possible funding. Corporate support is a definite if we played that card. Local juniors commitment to the club and colors would also benefit from such a move.
So I ask you why do we stick to nomads status when there are so many benefits .... Bloody History mate (constantly looking back and not forward) .... that's what .... we have too many people nailed to Balmain Tigers Leichhardt and Wests Magpies Ashfield crosses.
So until such time as the NRL has the balls to give us an ultimatum .... locate fully to Cambelltown OR cease to exist .... we will continue to flounder.

I dread to think what would happen if we only played out of Campbelltown.
Whether you like it or not most supporters won't travel so far ... and especially to a place that still carries a social stigma (deserved or not).

@willow i understand the comment but i he won't be ready next year. Added to that he may be decent he may not Caldwell is at least proven

Good footballer Capewell, at the right price. I'd be interested to see him getting consistent match time in one position, because Sharks move him all over the place to patch up gaps. He deserves better and IMO superior footballer currently to our entire backrow options except Matterson (and perhaps Garner for the last 6 matches of the year).

 

[TYGA]

Good move. Keep Matterson at lock and Capewell and Garner on the edge.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

@momo_amp_medo Swap Reynolds for Ryan James.

Swap him for Arrow.

Having Matto & Arrow in the pack would be awesome

 

[Masterton]

I'm surprised by the love for Capewell. Not enough mongrel for a 2nd rower, not enough speed for centre, and has some errors in him. Not bagging him, but don't see as much upside as others do.

Tell Wendall hat it's his son who is playing not him.

His dad is his manager supposedly. So yeah.

 

[kiwitiger]

Getting hot now so rather than making a thread for every random signing rumour let's talk here about rumoured signings.

So far we have rumoured to have actually been signed.

Chris McQueen
Kurt Capewell
Ben Matulino
Taane Milne

Rumoured approaches but no claims of being signed.

Shaun Johnson
Bodene Thompson
Albert Vete
Gareth Widdop
Russell Packer

Any I am missing?

First post on the thread...and kurt capewell is on it. We have gone full circle people.

What a brilliant and thinking man's statement @momo_amp_medo 😛oint_up:

"So until such time as the N.R.L. has the balls to give us an ultimatum...locate fully to C'town OR cease to exist...we will continue to flounder".

That's the ballsiest and most meaningful statement I have seen on our forum :fist: .

I'm really pleased it came from one of our most respected contributors. Good on Yuh!!! Momo.

Se also a comment by @Elderslie_Tiger.

To help with that re-location, I suggested some time ago, rather than the N.R.L. paying big $$$ to relocate a team [maybe Wests Tigers] to Perth or New Guinea, they may!!!? be willing to pay to re-locate us to C'town.

I feel my suggestion may be inline with your positive go forward thinking Momo.
I hope so anyway.

As the/your old saying says Momo...onward and upward, no looking back from here😛oint_up: :fa-smile-o:

Your passion overrules logic., Go to Campbelltown and we will be extinct. Follow the corporate support and then you find the best location for WTs.

Back on the topic, Capewell is a good footballer who will improve our team. Hopefully the info I received is correct,

Sailor and John's can snort each other's crack.

Seyfarth is a workhorse prop/lock though. Capewell is a second rower/centre. How can you compare the two?

 

[Spud_Murphy]

I was told yesterday the forward we have signed is Capewell.

Yay another plodding journeyman. 4th second rower on the sharks depth chart and allowed to leave because they have better coming through.

4 years on 600k ?


Can’t agree with you on this one. If true good signing.

Yeah i agree, I think he definitely has some talent, but if he *is* just a replacement for Matterson, then unfortunately he would be a downgrade.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Capewell would mean a bench of four forwards every week, a big plus.

He can easily cover center, even played wing this season.

He is a vastly better cover for the backs than Lawry and Chee Kam...would be a very good addition to what he would allow Madge to do with the bench.
