TIGERS EYE MORGAN & LOWE

Just keep Simona.

Exactly! Why spend the money we need to keep Simona on signing 2 other players to replace him? It's a travesty if we can't afford to keep Simona because we are 'stuck' honouring Lawrence's big fat contract. Injury has stalled your career for sure, but do the right thing Chris and fall on your sword so WT can keep _all_ of our good young players.
 
If we are looking at Morgan to replace Simona, what coin is Simona asking for?

Just seems weird? (I still feel Simona is a Winger)

He has already stated, as long as he gets a decent deal he will stay. Just another bs rumour. Morgan maybe as depth but i highly doubt our club will sign him.

Define 'decent deal'?

Lowe - yes
Morgan - tell your story walking son

Simona wants to stay, just depends how much money other clubs are throwing at him and whether we can stay close enough to the mark.
 
Figured they meant Michael Morgan! No way to Ryan Morgan - he was dropped today for the bloke we said no to.

Absolutely Ethan Lowe.
 
Why has no one put their name to this article ?

More rumours on some nuffy social media site. I'll wait until I hear from the club.

I think Ryan Morgan is extremely underrated… Reminds me of a younger Lawrence, although not as good. Is a solid defender, has got a bit of toe, runs some nice lines. For the right price I think he could be a great pick up.

Haven't seen a lot of Ethan Lowe, but from what i've seen he would be a good buy for us. Pretty young at 24 too, so is still on the improve.

Exactly, Morgan would be a great buy at a good price - He's always been underrated, and could improve even further under a new coach/new environment. Not a suitable replacement for Simona, but would be much better than Lawrence.. Morgan actually looks to offer a lot more in attack.

Lowe would be a terrific addition to our team. That's the sort of purchase we don't usually make - young, in form, plenty of potential in a position we need.

We have enough potential in our team. We need someone that's already proven his worth.
Someone that will come in to our team and make a difference straight away.

Lowe would already be our best backrower.

So true, its time to start buying known quality talent and not players who might make the grade, but I get the feeling some deals done in the past have really put our club in a bind that will not go away for at least another year. In other words do not expect much if anything till 2017 in the way of player recruitment

If you say so BOW. To be honest I haven't noticed him that much. I do remember him getting suspended last year for placing bets on NRL games. He's a big boy though.
 
Its really a no win situation for us attracting high quality players. If we're winning, the club probably decides to focus on what they have and not look at all. If we're losing and the club sees it as essential, the chances of us attracting players to a losing club are pretty slim. Just ask the Raiders.

Definitely. Every time I see him he's just really solid, runs good lines, prototypical size, doesn't make defensive errors and has a nice workrate. We have no one like that at the Tigers, just one-dimensional backrowers that don't impact the game in more than one area. Lowe has the makings of a nice complete player. I imagine him developing into a Ryan Hoffman in the future, but even now he's a good player.

Sadly you're right. Cap space seems to be tight and there's around 10 players I think who earn way more than they are worth. Guys like Ethan Lowe and James Roberts are pipe dreams for now.
