Rumoured & Confirmed Signings - Part 5

[Fangs]

If the club has its heart set on Momirovski and the Tigers won't play ball. Stuff them and wait it out. We don't need to do anything with Laurie. We can play him in reserve grade all year if we want.
I wouldn't be bending over backwards for a trade we are not happy with.
Wait till the Tigers have lost a couple on the trot. Then they might come back to the table.

They're wanting to keep up the tough head office image. Honourable stance as long as it isn't hurting their recruitment too much.

Unfortunately they are low on the list of clubs players want to go to. When they produce some results on the field they will find it a bit easier in the player market.

Momorovski aint any better than what we got so dont even bother signing him.We have plenty of centre depth in chrichton naden burton jennings etc.I think our roster is fine all we need is maybe 1 more frontrower as cover if we get injuries thats it.

Burton is leaving in 2022, Naden seems to be on the out with Ivan and Jennings isn't exactly top tier. Momirovski was well liked by Bellamy which says something.

Seems to be a few tigers fans who want him starting in the centres over one of Roberts or Leilua. If he has been training in the halves that would be value to us also in terms of depth.

 

[Abacus]

This is just an accounting trick. The cost of re-signing Crichton is 2.25 million for 3 years. That equates to 750k per year. As far as the cap goes you can offset some of this this year by upgrading his final year of his contract by 250k. If it makes you feel better you can say it’s only costing you 670k per year but in effect a three year extension is still costing you 2.25 million. No matter how you do your math, and whatever helps you sleep at night, that is a massive risk for a 1 year player who is a centre! Good luck!

This is just a dumb ass response from a shit club supporter paying overs to has beens.

Exactly. If the Tigers want Laurie they have to realise they aren't getting a deal they're 100% happy with but they'll get the player they want for the year they want.

seriously how did we not beat storm in the GF with brenko lee on their team

Did his job well in the Sauce no-try.

Blade is there no interest in moving Martin to the middle as a bench prop that you're aware off? I know Ivan has said long term he views Martin's future as being in the middle once he loses a bit of speed. He plays similarly to Tetevano with his run hard and straight, tackle hard attitude and off the bench that worked very well for us last year. This way Capewell deservedly starts and we keep decent middle depth with Eisenhuth, Smith and Ava as backups. If Martin's big enough to play lock he's big enough to play prop.

I've noticed Martin makes a lot of tackles by the standard of second rowers. He seems extremely fit so I'd back him in to play some big minutes if he needs to do it.

The plan at the moment is to split his time between edge and middle. So Capewell can get more time on ground.

Goes with what I was told. Playing May. Leinu, Capewell, Sorensen bench

Although both sides are seeking a fair deal. Both sides have been guilty of trying to get one over the other. So they can brag to their fans they got the better end of the deal.

That's such a rugby league thing to do.

Media are big on this too. As in Moylan/Maloney.

 

[luv my panfas]

Seems like Naden is on the outer.

Blade Have you heard anything on Naden Some reports say he can be a handful ???

True.

He is ok.
A partyboy who sometimes makes the wrong decisions in life. But most of the time he is a decent fella. Easy to talk to.
He needs a big year and needs to knuckle down.

That last mistake could've cost him his life.

 

[MugaB]

Who did it when Tamou was off? There's your answer.

Haha....
Tetevano

Hopefully he realises how lucky is to get off so lightly and responds appropriately. I like Brent but he’s got a lot to prove now imo.

Needs a big year, otherwise he won't be retained.

If he trials well Eisenhuth will come into the 17. Ivan wants his experience and dependability early on.
