Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Tigerm]

He's usually got his finger on the pulse with things going on in QLD. He's someone I tend to believe.

I'm not particularly worried about it, tbh.
We have some good talent to get settled here, for our future.
I'd rather another FR, our depth in that position is atrocious.

Our halves performances have been embarrassing.. not sure where the justification for faith comes from.

The biggest under performers this season for us.

I don't know how I feel about getting getting Reynolds. It sounds like it's not happening. A shorter term contract for us would be great.

At the same time I like Luai and Latu in the halves more than Luai and Galvin. It's just Latu is always injured and he'll make plenty of mistakes learning his trade.

Reports from Zero Tackle that Glover from the Dragons might sign with the Tigers. Currently their NSW Cup halfback.

Woohoo another halfback, four more and we'll have a team full of them.

KPP playing well for the Knights v Panthers

Makes sense. We will need a NSW cup replacement if Latu is going to be promoted to regular first grade

What about Tannous, he's coming through now and some are saying he's the bees knees. Can play ½ or ⅝.

They have just signed or are about to sign a kid from St George (name escapes me), we still have Sullivan on contract as well.

Stop.
Like, really . . . STOP.
Has anybody checked on @Someone2 ?

I hope not

I don't trust Weidler at all, but if he comes here, or doesn't, I won't care.

Personally I feel missing out on him is worse than letting Galvin go.

 

[glockers]

I don't think missing out on Taylan May is a big deal at all. Sure we could do with another centre, but the potential drama to go with it? Not so much. Plus is he really that good? I'd rather target a Cobbo or someone else top class for next year or even 27. We still have Makasini coming through and Doeuhii is filling in fine.

On top of that, if we did get Taylan and he started mucking up, how does that impact Terrell? Potentially we don't just sign a problem, we create a new one where there currently is strength.

Some good points here but I'm thinking Taylan could have a similar impact to Tyrell. I'm thinking how much better we would be if we had two threats in the centres. AD just doesn't look likely at this point.

Yeh, AD should be looking elsewhere because he won't play second fiddle.
I don't think it's over with younger May, does it?
All I've read is he's been seen checking out another club. Players would be dumb not to.
I think this year is ok with what we've got, if we can get our strongest team on the paddock.
Next year Makasini jumps in, this guy is brilliant.
Who knows what happens between now and next year too.
As you've said before Tiger, it's not imperative to sign people straight away.
Yeh it would be good to get some gun but it's not dire.
I don't think making the finals come down to one player. If we are going to make a charge in September then we need 2-3 guns.

If were going to let Douehi go we need to find a specialist goal kicker....

I think he signed a one year extension last year on low numbers and will probably see his value jump now hes been selected for the extended origin team.

On another note, how the f**k did he get selected for NSW?

I read somewhere that it was down to 2 reasons, 1 he was available as we had the bye, and 2 he could cover multiple roles in opposing sessions. Still awesome for him to have the opportunity etc, but don't think he was every in contention to be in the 19.

My first thought was, it was an "up you" to us, but otherwise I don't know. hahaha

Hopefully Mason will step up, the kid has been kicking goals from just about anywhere on the field since he was 10 years old, if he is solid defensively this weekend he should stay in the side.

It's my understanding that Doueihi and Preston, Cody Ramsey and Hamish Stewart were brought into camp to help out during a training sessions.
Players were sought for this and selected on their availability eg byes or suspensions.
WT were in agreement to this.
AD was never going to make the team barring a miracle eg injuries.
