Quite a few great players FT,but my choice is Gareth Ellis,he was sensational for us…

 

[TrueTiger]

As far as now Marty KAPOW,is very hard to beat…

These are all the players i can think off , i know 3/4 of them wouldn't make the cut of best signings . Was just thinking of all the players we have signed and who is the best ?

For me : It would be between these 4…..Taupau , Ellis , Prince and Hodgson

Ellis… but given where Marty came from being a relative unknown compared to Gareth with raw potential he is closing in fast.....A re-signing as well his continual improvement will see him take the mantle IMO...

 

[larrycorowa]

Ellis….no question

 

[Goose]

Prince and/or Hodgson

Scott Prince was our most important Signing, but with him turning his back on us in the fashion he did, I'd say Brett Hodginson was the 'Best'!

Hodgo without a doubt !

I would go with Ellis. But only just ahead of a few like Hodgo and Prince. Hard not to through Taupau in based on his time as a Tiger.

Scott Prince hands down for me, we wouldn't have won the comp and the impact after he left was huge.

Can't split Ellis ,Prince or Hodgson

I remember reading a small post in the rumours section of the paper that we had signed a young kid from under the noes of the Broncos, Benji Marshall.

The end was sad, but he brought skill, excitement and a premiership. He also turned lots of kids into tigers fans.

Scott Prince by a mile. We needed a halfback, we bought a halfback, we won a premiership. Simples.

Also how is John Hopoate's name on the list? He's one of the worst things ever to happen to the game, never mind the Tigers.

1 Marshall
2 Hodgson
3 Ellis
4 Prince
5 Payton
6 Taupau
7 Tuiaki
8 Laffranchi
9 Richards
10 Whatuira

Never seen anyone hit like Ellis….maybe Gillespie

Id go with Prince as the most important signing that reaped the biggest reward.
I don't consider Benji as a signing, as the WTs helped him through the junior system at Kebra.
Ellis was my favourite though. Loved having him in our pack.
Hope Taupau becomes as good as Ellis.

Ellis was also a very good runner of the ball,hit the angles and line exceptionally well…
