Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Phil Gould]

Not really, but Momo is still important to keep, in my opinion, very important. Swap M’bye and it’s ideal.

The tigers have a lot of flexibility to cover many different positions this year but have no real choice in a couple, goal kicker being one. Real pace out wide is another thing Tigers could do with but which is more important? If you don’t score tries, you don’t even get to attempt to convert, but then if Tigers give their goal kicker to get more tries, then they are lessening the value of those extra tries. It’s a tough call, not one I’d like to make.

 

[Tigerm]

Guys you can't seriously be saying you would rather keep Momo than get JAC?

No, I want to have both.

 

[gordsy]

I find it a testament to Madge's ability as a coach that he got us a whisker within finals with such an inexperienced team and so much cap space sitting on the sidelines.

You look at the Dragons, Titans, Knights rosters, majority of those players would walk into our starting 13 yet as a team they finished below us.

I feel Madge has laid the foundation for this club to become a regular finals footy team, but there are some serious holes we need to patch up:
Hooker
Fullback
Regular kicker
Outside back with genuine pace
Pack Leader

I don't see us fixing these holes by round 1 but as many have mentioned, we do have a lot of cap space potentially being freed up for 2021 and beyond. If teams like the ones I mentioned above continue to implode over 2020 season I have a feeling we will see an all out raid from Tigers for 2021 season and the formation of a very well balanced squad

If we sign Grant and A.D makes the fullback position his own then we have hooker, fullback and kicker covered. Pack leader is probably Zane. As for pacey outside backs I'd rather better halves.
The only problem with signing someone like JAC is there's a bloody good chance we'd toss it to them 100 times a game hoping they'd score all our points, whilst neglecting any other options.

Could look at signing someone like Isaako who offers goalkicking and pace out wide. Seems unwanted by Brisbane at the moment.

Anyone know what has happened to Henry Lealuga-Puhotau?

dont know for sure but rumour was he got sacked for off field stuff/missing training etc

good result imo, guy never showed enough for a full time contract

I think he was saying he would want both and would rather swap another player. Anyway not going to happen. Personally I like having Momo in our side, I think he is a good defender, has some footy smarts and potential to be a very good goal kicker. Of course JAC offers plenty to

Gets a development contract with a move into the NRL squad in 2021 and throws it all away. Silly kid.

I think we have a number of genuine attacking threats, just none with blistering pace. BJ is a great example.

There’s no doubt the entire offseason he has been effected badly by this headf**kery. Hopefully now that it’s finally cleared he can concentrate on his footy because I still think he can be an asset to our top 8 chances

Wonder what will happen to the girl, prob nothing.

Nothing at all. It's okay to be a complete and utter bitch but you can't swear at them. He would have been through a tough time and all because he had a psycho as a girlfriend and yet nothing happens to her.

I remember thinking JAC was never used properly when he was a Tiger. I wondered why they didn’t try to put him through a gap once every set! As soon as I heard Melbourne had signed him I put dollars on him to win top try scorer. He only just missed it to their other winger either that year or the one after. He burnt so many defenders, once he puts on those afterburners, good luck catching him.

He should sue her.

 

[Tigers Tale]

Public Mischief....that what she should be charged with.

'I need to play footy': Grant asks Storm for release to join Tigers

 

[Das Hassler]

He should sue her.

Nah...it would just drag it on for him for maybe another year...he should just put it behind him and put her right out of his mind orherwise the past continues to affect his life

i would think the chances are fairly minimal since Brendan Smith is out for the first few weeks of the comp.

Would make it very interesting if he did end up here. Being so close to round 1 I doubt he’d jump straight into first grade however when he does make it there will be some big names playing nsw cup
