Any news on signings / departures for next season?

[simmo05]

Scott would be exactly what we need. Hard, aggressive, old school, pretty much every thing we lack

 

[chemics]

Buchanan just signed with widnes vikings in the superleague good luck

 

[Vic Mackey]

Yeah good luck Jack, guy always put in, I just don't think he is good enough to consistently play NRL

 

[Incorrect]

Are you Tigers fans happy with what Josh Aloiai has produced so far?

I was a little disappointed we let him go at the end of last year... we mustn't have been able to arrange a dodgy TPA for him quick enough!!

 

[Vic Mackey]

Very raw but goes hard and has a lot of energy. Still has some mistakes in him but that's to be expected. I'd like to see him start on the edge instead of sironen. Apparently he played all his juniors there and only moved into the middle with us.

Overall been happy with him and glad he resigned.

 

[Tigerted]

He's a real good kid with an enormous future.He's just a pup & this stage of development & has a great attitude & the essential toughness to have a very successful career in the engine room.I just wish he could infect the weak bludger sironen with some of his enthusiasm on the field.

We have another prop with enormous potential in nsw cup in Wesley lolo.This kid should be on our NRL sides bench but the damn problem is that he isn't in our top 25.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Disagree on Lolo, lots of mistakes in him and hasn't improved over the last 18 months. Jordan Grant, Rod Griffin, Dallas Graham and the 2 NYC props are all ahead of him IMO

 

[BrotherJim05]

I would really like to see Griffin get a call up soon. I thought he would be playing off the bench this year tbh. I'm a bit disappointed that Edwards hasn't really kicked into gear either, had high hopes with him.

Aloai may look good on the edge due to his size but I don't think he has the fitness to go the 80 out there. Given Lovett's form in City Origin I think we should persist with him. Sironen though...not sure if he is being used properly to be honest. He has played over 60 NRL games now and I just don't see him as the 2nd rower we want him to be.

 

[madunit]

Jordan Grant has a lot of promise.

He's one kid I really hope we hang onto.

 

[b.bear]

Buchanan off to Widnes UK super league

 

[Vic Mackey]

Given Lovett's form in City Origin I think we should persist with him. Sironen though...not sure if he is being used properly to be honest. He has played over 60 NRL games now and I just don't see him as the 2nd rower we want him to be.

Every good game lovetts played (including city) has been at lock. He is too small and crap to be an edge forward. He plays the role of the smaller middle third forward quiet well. Problem for him now is that ET is miles better then him in every way.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Daily Tele Sports Confidential today,

RUMOUR of the week: Tony "T-Rex" Williams to West Tigers next year.

That will do me.

 

[gordsy]

Why do we need to sign an overpaid bludger We already have Sirro. :lol:

 

[Ron's_Mate]

That guy should only be signed on a month to month contract, to make sure he keeps performing.

 

[Tigers Tale]

I said the other day I'd take Eastwood of the Dogs hands but Williams...no thanks.

 

[Clifferd]

If he can't perform with Hasler he won't perform with Taylor...no thanks

 

[Tigerted]

The leisure centre & concord oval is a sanctuary for all the docile bludgers in the NRL !!

 

[Vic Mackey]

If true it would make Blair look like a great signing

 

[Magpies Forever]

I cant credit WT would be going after T-Rex. Was cut from Manly for not living up to expectations and has certainly not done anything at the Dogs. What possible value could he bring to the club and team?

If true we have learnt nothing- would show Pascoe & O'Neill have neither come to grips with our existing situation or have a strategy for improving our future standing. I really hope its just media spruking.

I have to say I am wishing more and more this coaching issue, the uncertainty we are in and the playing group under performance gets quickly resolved.

Agree - he should play through the middle or not at all.
His defensive reads on the edge are shocking, something we can't afford with either of the halves next to him.
