Tiger Transfers Rumour - Super Thread

[everett]

I heard a rumour that once we announce we have signed Adam Blair, Penrith will announce they have signed Aaron Woods.

Sad news if true as I rate Woods but we can not keep everyone.

Still an awesome pack for next year given Galloway, Blair and Ellis will be leading from the front.

Hope thats completely wrong . Prefer to offload BMM or Fifita IMO . Anyway with Petero and Tim Grant he won't be a starting prop there . Crazy move unless money is fantastic (but probably not guaranteed if the stories coming from Penrith are correct) about money issues !!! Sheens will put him straight

I heard A rumour that your rumour was just an other rumour :astonished:

 

[everett]

I hope I am completely wrong.

I would prefer to offload Fifita, Moors, Schirnach brothers, Daniela, Flanagan and retire Payten into a coaching role (he can come back and play like Skando did if needed).

I rate Woods and BMM highly.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Hope that is not true. Woods is quality.

 

[tigerbenji]

Ithink woods will stay @ the tigers, but if sheens had of gone to the panthers i think woods would of followed.

 

[benjibrotown]

While it would be a big loss I personally believe that BMM and Fifita are more talented and should be the first priorities, Id love to keep them all though.

 

[Spartan117]

I doubt it very much in all Honesty, Again if they are looking at paying absolute overs then there is no loyalty that cant be bought.

My rationale is he is 19 and has years of development left and is almost certain to play regular first grade with a top flight side and a coach renowned for nurturing young talent.

Penrith is a shamble at the moment until they sign a coach for 2012.

PS - Why would Penrith wait, They didnt wait whilst with the Sheens Saga last week. They owe us nothing

 

[Chris]

Isn't Woods contracted with us till the end of next year?

 

[watersiders]

Fifita, BMM, Dwyer and Woods are priorities. To be perfectly honest, I have been watching the Storm games these last couple of weeks, and I really haven't seen anything incredibly exciting from Blair. I hope we can sign him, but not at the expense of the exciting young blood we have.

 

[Masterton]

Blair, Gibbs, Payts, Schirnack, BMM, Woods, Fifita, Gallows, Moors. Eventually we have to shed some props. My order of preference would be Moors, Schirnack, Payten.

 

[alex]

I would be keeping our juniors at all costs - Woods, Fifita, Dwyer and BMM. Schirnack and Payten would probably be best off in the UK.

I heard…lol.... :roll

 

[supercoach]

Woods is in front of Fifita, especially when you think long term. BMM have not seen enough of him in the top grade to make a fair call but he attracts plenty of raps from the people in the know.If we have to offload players sadly I would be looking at Payten Gibbs and Fulton. They are great players but they are probably past their best. Be interesting to see what happens, their are plenty of rumors flying around, Gibbs esl or sharks,Fifita sharks and unknown forward to Penrith. One things for certain we cant keep them all

 

[Yossarian]

Could there be some policy introduced where rumours/hot tips/gossip/mail etc etc is clearly identified as such in the title?

 

[Demps]

Derrrr…
Wait & see.

I'd rather say goodbye to Payten & Fulton.
Sue me.

 

[sunshine_coast_tiger]

I would keep Woods and BMM over all the others, just an opinion. I would also like Fifita to stay. For mine to keep all the young guys we have to make some tough decisions especially if we get Blair. Whilst I would hate to lose anyone if losing Payten, Moors and the Schirach brothers meant keeping Woods, BMM and Fifita it would be worth it long term.

 

[Joel Helmes]

Woods is one I wouldn't want to lose, hopefully he will hang around and enjoy playing in a better team and with a club in a better financial position.

 

[dcdc]

99% sure this isn't true, tigers will have a very hard time retaining woods against certain clubs though.

 

[Icon]

Everyone keeps saying we can't keep them all, refering to Fifta, BMM and Woods - well i reckon that's rubbish.

Don't sign Blair or don't resign some of our fringe players. These guys are the future. Absolutely no foresight if we let them any of them go.

Makes me angry just thinking about it, we finally have 3 or 4 big talanted boppers (including Dwyer) and we might let one or two slip through our fingers.

No bloody way i say
