Rumours and Stuff

Do you honestly beleive it but? They let Crighton /Kikau walk cause Dogs offered 800k and also offered Luai similar coin but paper says happy to sign a rookie for 750k? Think about it for a minute.

Yeah he isn't on 750k

Fairly sure that was my take on the Tigers rushing through TDS...
Like i said if he was already better than TDS at the same age he wouldn't be only
Playing 2 games off the bench in cup.

He is better than TDS at the same age. He is being held back intentionally. Thats teh whole point. Tigers screwed TDS development but it was out of necessity at the time. Its a different club/squad/team today.

Is anyone applying for the Supporters Alliance Group?

I'm interested, but don't have the time, unfortunately.

SAG? Do they have an annual function called the SAGGY Bald Ball?

Facebook is claiming that Tui has passed away, following his stroke...

I really hope this is an April's Fools joke in extremely poor taste...

My wife saw the same thing on Facebook yesterday. Doubt it's true as not on any other media.

Ok your taking the piss hey? So far 15 minutes he hasn't engaged marker defence doesn't lead line speed in defence not really a stand-up out in this flegg game.

45 mins in now just watched his lazy marker defence allow the Eels to make a break almost score tiger player sent to bin.

You got me good..

 

[hineyrulz]

Is Tago overpaid though or is someone just playing better than him at the moment..

We paid 500k for a 34 year old his current club didn't want.

We don’t pay overs……….

EELS HONOUR GLOVER
The NRL has given permission for the Parramatta Eels to hold a minute’s silence for life member Neville “Nifty” Glover before their Easter Monday showdown with the Wests Tigers. He passed away on Thursday, aged 70.
The former Australian and NSW winger who played for both the Eels and Panthers went on to have a successful career in the NSW Police Force and supported charities such as the Men of League and Ronald McDonald House.
The Eels will also wear black armbands to honour Glover.

The Eels legend passed away this week.

Which NRL club has been making plenty of inquiries about luring Joseph Manu back to rugby league? Hint: it’s not the Roosters.

MOSES’ MONDAY MIRACLES
Few players in premiership history have held on to a grudge as tightly as Mitch Moses seems to have against Wests Tigers. Since joining the Eels midway through 2017, Moses has won 11 of his 13 games against the Tigers, his best record against any opposing team - and he has made his presence felt in all 13 matches by either scoring, assisting or being otherwise heavily involved in at least one try in every match. His 21 try assists against the Tigers is easily his most against any opponent. Moses set up four tries in each of the past two Easter Monday clashes, something he has achieved just three other times in his career.

Three of Perth’s high profile signings have early get out clauses as the Bears are expected to announce the impending arrival of Mavrik Geyer.
It is understood that three of Perth’s players – Tyran Wishart, Liam Henry and Josh Curran – have early exits in the deals which have been trumpeted by the NRL’s 18th team in recent months.
The deals include;
- Wishart was announced as a five-year contract in January. The Storm utility – who has been earmarked to start at hooker for the Bears – has a player option for the final year of his contract in 2031.
- Henry signed in December on a bumper four-year deal to help lead Perth’s forward pack. However the Penrith premiership winner has guaranteed just two years with the new franchise with seasons 2029 and 2030 an option in his favour. Henry’s Penrith teammate Scott Sorensen also signed with the club for the next two years but the veteran does not have an early exit option.

The Bears’ big signings are already insuring themselves.
- Curran signed a three-year contract with the Bears in January. The Bulldogs’ forward has an option in his favour to play out the final year of his contract in Perth in 2029.
A host of other clubs are sweating on clauses for next year including Wests Tigers duo Jarome Luai Jahream Bula while St George Illawarra’s Jaydn Su’A has an option in his favour for 2027.
The revelations of the clauses’ comes as Perth have secured another forward in Geyer. It is understood Geyer has agreed to a three-year contract to be part of Perth’s inaugural squad. Geyer, who is yet to play a first grade game for his new side the Tigers, is following in the footsteps of his dad Mark.
Not only did Mark make his NRL debut at Penrith before joining Balmain for one season but he was part of the Western Reds’ first team in 1995.
They are also in talks with South Sydney halfback Jamie Humphreys.

Would be nice to think this could be us.

Would be nice to think this could be us.

Wouldn’t it! Have a look back at how embarrassingly I used to bang on about getting him. The bloke is an absolute stud and if he came back to someone other than the Chooks, I can’t bear to get my hopes up it would be us.
If he came a a centre??? Wow.

I believe from a few things I’ve heard he’ll only come back of the NRL for a fullback spot - which likely precluded him from us, but I’d like to think we would have at least made enquiries even if the position he wants made it a clear no
