Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[The-moP]

With the immediate release of Matto .. it is believed that we are after AJ Brimson, Jai Arrow, Luciano Leilua, and it was reported that we have had talks with Jarred Wearia-Hargraves.

My guess is that we will end up with LL. He's mainly been used by the Saints as a bench player, but everytime he came he made things happen. He has an uncanny ability to break the first tackle and get a good offload away .. !! He would be an interesting purchase with potential .. would be interesting to see if he can be a 60 to 80 min player.

Any of the other players would be very handy as well .. just imagine if we get the lot .. waahoo .. "someone wake me up and tell me im dreamin"

Save that money for someone special. Let's not spunk our wad immediately.
Play some Jr's for 2020 if needed. Last thing we want to do is make more garbage signings.

We'll need to the fill void at the very least. We've lost a front rower and a very good second rower, and a centre. We probably have enough to fill in the centres (Momo is a shoe in for mine and Mbye while not ideal is serviceable there.)

We need to replace Matto and Matulino though. I agree that we don't go chucking good money after bad again but we need to be realistic and sign someone who can come in and do the job while we wait for the right player.

I'm hopeful we can get JWH

Lomax also, as well as that young winger & hooker from Souths (CC player of the year I think?). Some quality in there.

 

[The-moP]

@bythebeardofzeus - Its been reported that Saints wont let Lomax go this season .. :white_frowning_face:

The Souffs winger/center is Mawene Hiroti, there is also chatter that we could end up Souffs utility player Kyle Turner.

 

[Jimmy]

@TigerSkins oh boi I hope not, we really don’t need another bench centre/edge forward option

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I would take him for two years. Anything more than that is a serious gamble.

 

[2005magic]

I heard a few weeks ago that WT were talking to, or abut to talk to, Billy Brittain- the reserve hooker for Souths. A good player and not too expensive as cover for Liddle.

I'm still unsold on Liddle's future at WT. Lots of potential but Injuries galore. I think one more injury and WT will cut their losses.

Is this the WTF announcement? https://twitter.com/WestsTigers Get your dancing shoes on folks!

The Tigers Cheerleaders doesn't have the same ring to it as the Maggetts.

 

[Furious1]

Ok, heres one from left field. ( purely making stuff up) Somebody here somewhere said Madge said we were after a centre and a prop. Could it be Leilua and Leilua? Or has BJ signed somewhere already?

 

[Milky]

@TigerSkins would not pay more than 250k for him

I’ve been told it’s very likely this upcoming year will be Latrell’s last at the Roosters

Latrell Mitchell has large levels of X-factor, I think in a system under Madge with Mitchell getting more early ball, whereas with the roosters to there credit have strike power everywhere didn’t rely on Latrell as much as they could’ve

Call me an idiot but I think we go for him, play him at fullback in which he has played a lot of footy where it gives him a lot more ball and opportunity to do the special things we all know he’s capable of

Kids like latrell don’t come by everyday

He does have a lot of X-Factor - he also has heaps of attitude, i.e. bad attitude.

I'd pass on him myself, not worth the exorbitant of money we would have to pay.

Would rather have 2 really good players instead of.

Not that we would have any chance of him coming here anyway.

Geez you're a bad judge

You are so complementary - i look forward to posting an opinion that you agree with.

Oh! well one day - in the meantime I will disregard yours.

 

[Bones]

@Bones Contracts mean nothing. They are broken often, teams moving players on and whingers wanting out for more money.

If a top line player had been given permission to negotiate elsewhere we’d know.

If they had negotiated without permission and a deal was announced today everyone would know they had been breaking the rules.

Anyway we’ll know one way or the other in 4 hours.

 

[swag_tiger]

@Bones i heard that JWH was given permission to talk to other clubs

He has a pretty impressive resume already Russ. Just because he has had a little off-field drama (which doesn't involve drink driving, belting women, drugs, stalking and threatening to kill or rape mind you,) it's not a reason to write him off. I think Latrell would be wasted here until we had a good squad around him but he is far from a bad player.

You may have misread what I wrote CB - never said he was a bad player, I said and I quote myself...

"He does have a lot of X-Factor - he also has heaps of attitude, i.e. bad attitude."

I talked about his attitude, not his ability. It is whether a club wants "his attitude" to go along with his ability. However as you said if we had him now we haven't got the players to take advantage of his X-Factor.

I was just saying, I wouldn't want him at the Tigers now - for whatever reason. It is just my opinion.

Yeah fair enough, I was stating that a perceived bad attitude doesn't translate to a bad purchase. I think he is a young man struggling to deal with the demands of the game. Many kids from the bush struggle to transition. I certainly think he is worth pursuing. If you don't that's fine, we don't have to agree.

 

[swag_tiger]

Seems less and less likely a signing will be done this week
