Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

I think Pom said the club hadn't entertained the thought of Foran iirc, and the more I think about it the more unsure I become. yes he's a quality player, but he's getting older, struggled with injuries and personal demons in his career and his defence isn't what it once was. not to mention wanting security and a reasonable contract, we might be better moving Doueihi to 6 or chasing a Burton or a Hastings.

I think we should make a big play for Burton.....kid is a gun

I'd say he's a pretty big chance of following Barrett to the dogs, but we'd be stupid not to have a crack at him.

I think I read somewhere he had to sign a no poaching clause or something like that.

One of the conditions of his release was that he would take no players from the Panthers.

Anyone Tigers supporter that wants to sign Foran please look down at your toes














Then give yourself an uppercut

That hurts 😁
In all seriousness I would take him for 350k 2 years Only if we don’t have Benji and JR.

I would definitely be keen on Foran. The daily telegraph a week or two ago reported Foran is willing to take a massive pay cut and earn about $300k-$350k a season. For that price I’d be down

At that price I would give him a 2 year or 3 year deal. If he does end up injured at times, and only plays 66% of games, works out at say $500k per annum. Cheaper than Brooks and creates more. Brooks might even play better with him at the helm.

and in two years we are playing the who's gonna play half again......

I'd rather look for the long term plan

Barrets first big signing a 33 year old who did his ACL ?

Didn't think Cotric was that old..

Wasn’t Cotric signed before Barrett?

Money down the drain. His body is broken.

Yep, I'd be surprised if he gets a contract anywhere.

I would rather the club pay Foran $350k than Benji $350k.

Id be surprised if either get a contract.

They’ll keep Benji. The club is dumb like that

well you need to have another option.
Id rather foran go around for a year then benji again.

Of course you would rather Burton or another quality half but they dont grow on trees, and they dont come to the tigers.

Foran one a 1 year deal I'd be perfectly fine with. Let's face it, he'd easily be the best half in our squad. If he can stay on the pitch he's quality.

He is 5 years younger than Benji

Geez you really don't like Benji. I want him re-signed on a minimum contract just to see your reaction.

No doubt if we go knocking on panthers door for burton and the fullback off contract, Ivan the terrible would be in their ear saying crap about our club

You keep saying I don't like Benji, I do like him, but his time as an NRL half is over, he is embarrassing himself right now, imagine what it would be like in another years time.
If you can't see that then I actually have no response to convince you, because you are watching a different game to me

WT's seem to be doing a good job of negotiating since Madge started. They will offer JAC what they think he is worth, it is better miss out than to pay too much, especially for a player that is not part of the spine.

I am not saying we should sign a 30 year old Foran, I was pointing out the irony of some people saying he is too old, but happy to let Benji stink it up next year at 36

Fair enough
But even at 36 Benji is fitter than Foran

The problem is the topic was Foran as a potential option. Benji wasn't mentioned. You keep bringing him up. You must dislike him. I'm not stating Benji is a good option at all.

This is my expectation going forward. There will be some dud signings ala Jennings but overall I think Madge is going to get more right than wrong.

 

[iofthetigers]

With Green joining the dogs, hopefully it would improve the chances of the Tigers signing Burton
