Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[AL The Tiger]

@WT2K I'd take him.

@Madge I understand where you’re coming from, but for the last decade we’ve been doing that and it’s got us nowhere

Singing proven first graders would be a much better alternative than relying on players who have barely even played any reserve grade.

@WT2K Hiroti wouldn't be costing the earth and has definite upside. Junior kiwi isn't he?

 

[Roar_Power]

@teddy23 I forgot about Drinkwater now that Holmes is returning to NQ. He could be a really good target - would want a guarantee of the FB role for sure though....

 

[teddy23]

@Roar_Power surely we’d give it to him

Slot Mbye in the centres with Lomax potentially

Wouldn't cost much, would most likely be in the low $100ks if I'm guessing.

This from his profile on Jr reps.

Mawene is one of only a few players to have represented the Australian Schoolboys against New Zealand U18s, as well as having represented the New Zealand U18s against the Australian Schoolboys.

YES HIROTI YES


low money, big talent


Better than our nuffie winger

@teddy23 I think you will find there being plenty of suitors for Talau next year if he doesn't get a starting jersey in the centres.

@MAGPIES1963 dark thoughts Magpies with John Wayne Gacy. Just the image of him as a clown sickens me.

What? Damned if we do or don't as clubs will come calling.

@hodgo Superfast kid behind a paywall.

That’s how fast he is disappeared behind the wall before you could get a glimpse of him.

From the mole -

Tigers considering Rabbitohs raid
The Tigers are considering signing promising Souths winger Mawene Hiroti.

The Kiwi-born centre/winger debuted for the Rabbitohs in 2018 and played four games last season, scoring one try.

With Esan Marsters on the move, the Tigers’ stocks are looking a little skinny out wide and the 20-year-old Hiroti should help boost their depth.

A former Australian Schoolboy, Hiroti was named in the Canterbury Cup NSW team of the year this season.

Some times i think these guys are just joining some dots. Tigers lose back so MUST be on the lookout for new back.

Never mind Mybe, Momirovski, Talau, Nofo, Thompson etc who all need spots

@The_Patriot You need 10 outside backs in a 30 man squad we have Thommo, Nofa, Momo, Jennings, Talau thats 5 means still need 5 more

Not saying we dont need the guy or that we shouldnt get him but these so called journalist and info men seem to just make things up.

Like the Tigers to get Capewell because they must need him with whats going on with Matterson.

Goes from one guess to the next

I wouldn't mind adding Capewell...but not as the prize for losing matterson

I said it in the Talau thread, the kid is a 6, let him play 6, why do we have to move blokes around, he could turn out to be our 6 for the next 10 plus years

 

[Roar_Power]

@851 Yep could work. I am happy wherever Madge puts him. He knows better than us.

 

[Madge]

Could be a jack Wighton type 6.
