Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[twentyforty]

Looking forward to everyone thinking we’re getting JAC only for the NRL to rush through an Ethan Lowe medical retirement that allows Souths to sign him for half our offer after he visits Rustys farm

Russell will take JAC for a weekend away and suddenly he’ll take an 80% pay cut

Have you seen Sonny Bills new wheels?

1. What we are lacking is a proper damaging hard running prop or backrower .. someone with real mongrel in them .. someone who puts fear into the opposition and makes them think twice when defending against .. and be worried when they are running at us. Having a player like this in our pack will help and lift our young pack into a real first grade pack.

2. We need a half or 5/8 who can lead our team around the park .. someone who can organise our current lost team. Someone who can steer our side to victory when we are leading by 20+ points .. !!

3. A full back who is safe under the high ball, who is fast and can chime into the back line and cause havoc every time they run the ball. This person need to be an organiser from the back who can read the general play in both defence and attack.

4. A reliable goal kicker .. !!

Not to hard to ask for is it ..

Our defence on the right is shocking. If we defended competently on the right, we win comfortably. Leilua and Nofoaluma shouldn't be together in future. Both are lazy in defence.

Well, if he isn't worth twice as much as that "Bludger" Jennings, I'll walk to Bourke.

I think for $650k you'd get him tbh Russ.

The future of Melbourne Storm’s Origin and Kangaroos winger Josh Addo-Carr will be sorted out in the next couple of weeks. It looks a two-horse race between the two sides that played yesterday – the Canterbury Bulldogs and the Wests Tigers.

From Buzz Rothfield this morning. He’s a moron but his mail is normally pretty decent.

In other words his manager is scouring for other bidders.

JAC is a class winger - nail him now.

if he ends up here he will probably be nailed to the Cross don't worry about that

Should be highest paid winger in the game. Defs worth it. If we can fit him in for that much he’ll be here in a heartbeat

We have Brooks, Reynolds, Walters, Madden, Benji , Mbye and AD and we have Cameroux comming through. So why would we pay for another unproven half?

Because Brooks, Reynolds, Walters, Benji and Mbye are rubbish AD isn't a half and Madden is wishful thinking.

Brooks played well yesterday. He did everything he could to get the team home.

I'd start pointing the finger at the two backs on the right extremity who' be lucky to catch a cold in defence. That was one of the most disgraceful defensive displays I have seen.

Paws, your agenda against Joey is as bad as Jedi's against Nofo, Hobbo 1 against Brooks or mine against "The Bludger."

 

[Russell]

DWZ would work very nicely on the left wing if the Dogs were happy to cover some of his salary. JAC would be fine too. Though I suspect it might end up being DWZ going to the Storm and JAC to the Dogs.

I'd prefer DWZ and money in the bank for a spine player rather than JAC. I want to avoid JAC like the plague on fullback money.

Earl, I doubt anyone would give him FB money - seeing he is not a FB.

DWZ is just mistake ridden and a light of other days imo.

His brother is outstanding.

We have 10 or so players off contract so spots are available.

We have 25 signed up for next year, including 4 development players from this year and Momers.

We are talking of extending McIntyre and Eisenhuth, which makes 27 with only 3 vacancies to fill.

Not so much scope to upgrade the squad as many people think. We will have the capacity to significantly upgrade the squad for 2022.

I doubt that all current development players will auto migrate to top 30 squad next year.

PLEASE!!!! tell us something we don't know.

We know what we need.

Name them and how do we get them for peanuts.

That's what we WANT TO KNOW!

It seems like they’re all already contracted for next year to be in the top 30. Would have to find another club and be granted a release if we were to get rid of them

I'm saying offer something like 550k and go to 650k if you need to Avo.

 

[tigeress]

Sign him for a year on good winger money with a club option for future years that include significant upgrades.

If he shows he is a fullback, take up the option, if not renegotiate

Yeah, I'm not a fan of players unproven in a position saying they want to be signed as a "Fullback" for example. They need to earn that position and playing a certain position when younger doesn't count.

Sounds like Latrine has been in his ear to me.

Sounds like he wants a pay rise. In view of a couple of the overpaid prima donnas we have here, I've no issue paying a proven match winning SOO and Origin rep.

Maybe but I wouldn't be paying him FB money when he is a winger.

He would have to earn FB for mine (in cc) or we would end up with another Latrine (a centre trying to play FB).

How much would you pay him (to play wing)?

650k max.

We need someone who is a reliable goal kicker.....please.....:angry:

I would have no problem with that at all.

 

[Strider]

I feel like one powerful forward and one fast back - winger or FB preferably who can kick would be amazing hah.

As far as I know they are on contracts but they are development contracts that span more than one year.

4 of them are contracted to join the top 30 next season it says on the tigers website

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

1. JAC
2. Nofo
3. Joey L
4. Mommo / Mmbye / Talau
5. Korobetie
6. AD
7. Brooks

Check your facts .... Hoffman is still on development contract next year. Madden and Simpkin are not and will probably join top 30 however Madden has had some interest elsewhere. As for Bradley and Cini they have one year contract next year but they are on minimal $s and can be easily paid out to create cap space.
