Let’s hope TPJ is already done if not he ain’t coming.

He has lost his phone

@THE_POM give us good news and tell us if we can stop holding our breath or at least make it someone's good news.

That Melbourne game may have lost us the signature of TPJ. No way he wants to come here after he's been enduring performances like that for the last 18 months of his career.

 

[swag_tiger]

And just like that there's rumours going around that he's backed out of the deal. I could nothelp myself but laugh at this pathetic club.

Good. Why would you want someone who spends as much time on the sidelines like him?

For what it's worth,I would ask which TPJ are we going after? Are we going after the TPJ of 18 months ago or the Adam Blair Version of now. Presumably he is not going to come cheap, so is it fair to ask why are we persuing someone with a dubious past, and not in form? Furthermore what happened to our no dickhead policy. Just asking.


I dont know....the 2021 version is going pretty good in a team getting lapped every week.

Averaging 3 tackle breaks a game. Averaging 3 offloads a game (best in teh NRL). Tackle efficiency in the 90's,


And there are some on here that don’t want him lol

We need players of his ability. I agree with an earlier poster who mentioned that it would be a punt, but life is a punt. We will not play finals footy without players of his ability. I would definitely take him on. If it goes awry, as Ned Kelly said when the hangman's noose went around his head.......that's life.

wasnt it "such is life"

If you like 'smoooth' @rustycage Frank Sinatra does a great version of this song.

It's Franks song mate. But I'm a VH and DLR fan so...

Have to laugh at the thought of us thinking we were going to get TPJ… he’s not coming here, nor are any other marquee players. What rep-level player in their prime wants to throw away their career at the Tigers? When we are reported to be in discussions with star players, we are nothing more than a bargaining chip for the player and his agent.

Yep If I was him I'd be on the phone to my manager.

Why are you arguing with yourself?

Pangai isn't coming would be close to the money I am guessing.

Question then.... Do you have any positive signing news you can share with us because if you do it would be a great time to share ?

Wow, 230 followers. You're kind of a big deal

 

[Moh]

We sure know how to scare players off...

Seems like every time we get mentioned for a big signing, we get smashed the same week we're close to sealing the deal.

If Finucane was a fraction of a chance I reckon that’s done and dusted too. Wests Tigers should run out to ‘hello darkness my old friend’

So apparently the Roosters are in for TPJ and are serious about getting him... If thats the case we may as well close this thread and move onto the next dream..

I truly don't know the answer to this but the NRL brought the salary cap in to make the competition more even but it just is not working and with TPA it is just taking the piss out of it..
E.g. look at this Roosters player for next year and they still are in the business of getting more.
Luke Keary - 1million a season to 2024
Teddy - 1.1 million to 2024
Manu - 550k - 2022
Suaalii - reported 400-500k to 2022
Radley - around 600k to 2023
Crichton - 800k
Taukeiaho - around 400-500k
Tupouniua - around 400-500k
JWH - around 500-600k to 2023
Walker around 500k to 2023
Verrills - Around 350k to 2024

Plenty of others but you get the idea and they have 2 players alone earning 2.1mil a year and the other 28 players over the remaining 7 or so mil.. Add TPJ and his 800k Next year (broncos will pay some next year but he will want at least a 2-3 year deal on good money.

Something has to change for us to get out of this hole we have been in for years and the only think I can think of is paying overs for 2 or 3 top line players. Clearly they need to tick all the boxes unlike past ones. For me the only one that stands out is Brendan Smith as he show ticker EVERY game, Builds great morale in the group, Gets the team motivated and just wants to win regardless of how.

I would also like TPJ as he adds he mongrel we LACK and I see him killing it with a change of clubs. If we don't get him the club that will gets him will be licking there lips IMO.
