Tyson Gamble

[Demps]

Still can't fathom moses kick to nofa on sat…...

Wrong thread?

 

[OzLukeH]

No…..just highlighting our need for change and moses was mentioned

 

[beachtiger]

He looks to have a similar build to Freddy Fitler, I'm certainly not comparing him in regards to ability just his body shape. Geez it would be nice to have that style of half with size in our team, no more trying to hide them out wide with a second rower on babysitting duties!

 

[Tigerdon]

How many halves do we have signed for season 2018?
I'm taking it we need maybe three in the Top 30 and 1 or 2 on second teir contracts. As JLJ signed yet?

looks like he is worth a gamble

Could be a bit of a lottery but the odds possibly in our favor.

not a bad ploy to lock someone like him to see how development is coming along.

If he shows promise makes it easier to re-sign or give a contract extension
If he fails to impress its easier to cut loose too..

Smart play from the tigers

You can't fill your roster up with superstars, sometimes you need to take a punt on potential. Would be great if it paid off.

CB,I agree with your comment,but can I ask a question about the difference in the Qld Cup and NSW state Cup,are they similar in strength or is one stronger than the other?

I don't really follow either too closely. Qld cup does look like a better quality comp from the games I have seen though.

I would think that they are about par TT
Don't the winners of each comp play on GF day? I think those results are about even

 

[balmain boy]

It's generally considered that the QLD cup is stronger and more professional than the NSW cup equivalent

If Happy and Stryker were still on here…they'd be telling you the Qld Cup is on par with the NRL.

From Members Portal:

Wests Tigers are pleased to confirm the signing of talented Queenslander Tyson Gamble for the coming two seasons.

Gamble will join Wests Tigers ahead of the 2018 NRL season, with the 20 year old currently playing for Redcliffe Dolphins in Queensland’s Intrust Super Cup.

Gamble, who predominately plays in the halves, has impressed since making his Intrust Super Cup debut for Redcliffe earlier this season.

Gamble played in the Dolphins’ Brisbane Rugby League side in 2017 and received the Don McLennan Trophy for being the best player in last year’s Grand Final.

Wests Tigers Recruitment Manager David Warwick said that the club looked forward to having Gamble arrive for pre-season training at the end of the year.

“Tyson has been impressive in his first season in the Intrust Super Cup and we look forward to him making the move to Sydney to join us for the next two seasons,” said Warwick.

Wests Tigers CEO Justin Pascoe welcomed Gamble to the club.

“Over the last month we’ve made a number of strong additions to our club for the coming seasons,” said Pascoe. “Tyson is an impressive young man and we’re keen to see him continue his development with Wests Tigers.”

I didn't mind Tom Humble….put in some decent games in FG...

Looks like Rankin and/or JLJ will be moved on.

 

[05TIGZ]

Lets gamble on him for this year if he is available.

Tom Humble!

I had to actually look him up and do some digging - you know he's still ONLY 28 years old?

Having said that he's playing for the feeder to the feeder to the cowboys now…
