Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Bulldogs have actually "gone to the dogs" and wont attract anyone without paying massive overs.
Cotric will go for less to the roosters...but will have a seaside apartment and a shiny new Ford very soon after!
..and btw...Id swap both Momo AND Mybe for a long term deal with Harry..hes a game changer in many ways,including bringing the leadership weve long been missing

It wont happen..but I cld live with Talua in the centres and a new winger which we have to find anyway

Having Madge certainly helps our chances of getting Johnston if we want him. Madge is the one who gave him his debut over Merritt (controversial at the time) and won a premiership with him. We are in the market for a winger

we certainly need a winger that can also double as a backup fullback, and Johnston fits that mould. I'd have him in our side, decent speed and provides another option on the left. hopefully Madge has a word. think he'd certainly come a lot cheaper and with less baggage than Addo-Carr

Yeah I’m with you there. Cotric, Addo-Carr and Johnston all available. Any of the three would be amazing

It won’t be Cotric Dogs are having to pay massive money to get him across Raiders want to keep him but Roosters also in the mix. Dogs will have to pay big money to get his signature players know they have the funds to spend.

I still believe Cotric will remain a Raider. He is part of the Raiders' brand and it would be a poor outcome for the NRL for him to end up at Bondi, notwithstanding the boutique, luxury, penthouse Rose Bay Jacuzzi apartment on offer with new teeth and a Ford. I am sure the Feds can kick in a sports rort or two.

Ill take Momo back to replace Jennings and I'll keep Grant with no swaps as we dont need to swap anything if he is off contract (which he will be if Smith plays on). You only ever need a swap for blokes under contract and even then u usually dont

With the roosters $400,000 under the cap (apparently) , they will sign both Cotric and Fafita ?

Ha, Mr Bird has decided to take up his option for another year at the Broncos which will out pressure on their cap. I'd like our club to assist by offering to buy Coates.

Is there anyone in the Rugbeh League Universe that having Madge as our coach doesn't increase our chance of getting them..

Like was Munster at the Storm when Madge was there..?

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

There’s a report from the telegraph saying Bunnies will be letting Johnston go after this season. There’ll be plenty of clubs after him and we could be one.

If we were preparing to offer him winger money to play on the wing, yeah.

If he thinks he is still a fullback, no thanks.

 

[Spartan117]

Classy winger imo. Real pace and finishing ability

I worry about Alex J, Look what happened to the last winger we got from Souths

 

[Spartan117]

The more we WIN games in a row will directly impact the amount of money we need to pay players with talent and the attitude we need to see our Tigers as the place to play as opposed to place to get paid.

Players like Harry, Teddy etc will want to stay.

By that logic we should never buy a centre or winger again from anywhere because we've spent years signing average outside backs.

You can tell he’s got genuine pace and can finish a try though. He’s not a fall over the line merchant

He directly won a premiership with Johnston so it certainly helps... being assistant at Melbourne wouldn’t give him as much pull with players though

Harry's effort brings the team up a notch in my opinion.

He's quite inspirational for a kid his age and he NEVER shirks it.

We need to explore every avenue to keep this kid at the Tigers because he needs to be our next franchise player and epitomise what the Tigers stand for.

He’s no longer just a coach Geo, he’s a living God. All good things that happen to the club are due to him, all bad things due to people not listening to his wisdom.

He certainly seems to love being here, he has a smile on his face as big as a split watermelon in all the pictures I see of him training with the guys. No doubt enjoying his time actually playing and showcasing his skills in the NRL instead of languishing in reserves.

However the Storm have already re-signed him, he is theirs as soon as Smith retires. It was good of them to loan Grant to us and give him a chance to play in the top grade, but I don’t think it would be right for us to try and take him from the Storm permanently when he has already agreed to play there. We’d be spewing if the situation was reversed.

Reports out today that benjis manager is looking around to see if any other clubs want him for the rest of the season. Apparently they’ve made the club aware but it would be up to the club whether to release him or not.

https://t.co/k6uh1anXFi

Thanks for sharing. Seems a load of nonsense.

You'd hope the club keeps him around because I think he still offers more than Madden and Walters plus would be an amazing mentor to have around. And... we've extended his career when no one else wanted to. As it is I don't fully understand why we've let CT go to the Titans since we don't have much depth in the backs.

Centre and wing look thin.

I know he's not as quick as he used to be, but I'd have Lawrence back up at centre if Mybe or Leilua go down. Chee Kam is not a centre.

Lawrence hasnt been a centre for years,why do you think JT moved him to the forwards?It was the only thing he got right while he was coach imo

Have fun with Chee Kam

I think you are confusing me with someone else because i dont rate MCK as a centre he has the same lateral issues as Lawrence.I believe he is a bench forward at best

Well we don't have any other centres or wingers apart from Jennings.

If 2 out of Nofa, Talau, Mbye or Leilua get injured, what is the backline solution?

Are we talking 2020 or 2021?

This year rusty

Oh! ok - cause we have Momo back next year.

Maybe :wink:

No sweat, he'll be back.

Hey Russ, would you swap Momo for Harry Grant permanently?

No. Momo is one of ours.

I wouldn't swap one of ours unless we didn't want him/them.

I would be paying big money for Grant if I could get him but no more swap.

One of ours ?
Junior Rooster !

He ain't the Rorters now, is he?

No ..he’s a Storm player and hopefully he stays there ?

Well we know what you think of him, but you are wrong - he is a good one.

But if he comes back where does he play ?
Nofoaluma and Talau are better wingers than him and Mbye and BJ are better centres than him plus we have Doueihi at fullback .

You're off your rocker if you think Mbye is a better centre.

He was pathetic last night - average last week.

That gives him about 3 good games in about 2 seasons. ... No thanks.

Madge loves Mbye even made him captain .
Why didn’t Madge trade Mbye for a season ?
Momirovksi runs on a treadmill ...
Corey Parker said so !

Simple - Craig doesn't want duds and Mbye is a dud, Momo isn't.

From what I have read on here - Brandon Smith is promised the DH role when Camey Baby retires - Where does that leave Brandon and Harry?????

Momo is a second stringer even at Melbourne...behind Brenko lee
Played 1 game all year ?

Would you trade Lawrence for Harry ?

Now you are being silly.

By the way Lee has to get the spot back.
