Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Bathursttiger2]

We actually haven't announced any signings for next year other than Simpkin and Hoffman. Even though Walters and benji have already been confirmed. Seems like we're going to do one massive squad update of re-signings, signings, departures in the next few weeks.

He was technically on a scholarship for the dogs, but never played for them. Off contract and we signed him.

Luke wasn't a centre/winger until we forced him to play there, and he was awful. Ryan is a natural, fast, goal kicking outside back.

If he can kick goals we don’t want him, he wouldn’t fit in with our 40% goal kickers.
No good if he’s fast he’ll over run our speedsters and be off side.

@Demps If he did i'm not sure why he looked so diabolical and slow when he played there for the magpies. Of course the team was very weak but the guy has no pace, unless he had a bad ACL which he didn't recover from

Thanks for that .... no reason to watch it now.

@LeichhardtTiger Wow, that's pretty crazy. A live Q+A with less than a day's notice. Are they accepting questions in advance or are we to ask them in real time?? No information at all...
A good idea though, but don't expect any specific answer about Matterson, Reynolds etc. There is no chance they will provide any details other than "we're working through some areas at the moment and an announcement will be made at the appropriate time".

They are asking for questions to be added to the comments of the below twitter post. And I guess they will cherry pick the ones from there.

[Demps]

@balmain-boy because he's sized up and transitioned to a 2RF since coming to the tigers

Trent Merrin is coming home from the SL. Looks like he'll be on the prowl for a club. Turns 30 next week.

*Inset just our kind of signing joke*

@GNR4LIFE I would give him a shot as he is only 30, Brings experience for our young guys, has a baby on the way which is generally make him in a settled life.. I wouldn't pay massive money for him but would be handy.

Yay ....another Abbott and Costello funfest

Some times you just can’t win people complaining that we haven’t heard anything from the club then when they announce a Q&A it gets shot down as fun feat

He put on a bit of weight when he was in SL - he would certainly benefit under Madges conditioning but not sure he would want to put himself through it.

Sounds like the perfect signing for the panthers coach

His best days are well and truly behind him. Would not be a good signing imo.

Yes, they have improved since then @westy81: we should get them back, now!!!

Just the players we need, now!!!

They all became champions, but they've gone downhill again, back to the 'plodders' they were when they left.

We need these blokes, now!!! as their age and maturity will be a big help for all our other plodders :laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :laughing: :rolling_on_the_floor_laughing: :laughing:

That’s not going to happen if there are rumours about Matt Moylan coming here are true.

 

[TheDaBoss]

Possibly billy britan thanks to a slip of tongue by madge

 

[coivtny]

@Bathursttiger2 Who knows. There could be a sequel to the first movie. Let's call it "When Matty Met Sally".

I'm not knocking the club .....just that Cleary and Pacoe tried to be comedians and weren't successful

@happy_tiger Laurel and Hardy silent online production 😂

Isaac Moses took over as John Bateman's manager, Bateman now wants an upgrade or will consider his options, maybe we swap him with Matto, or just get him anyway
