Any news on signings / departures for next season?

[innsaneink]

So.. Any news?

Confirmed signings would be good.

Jordan Rankin (Titans, Hull) - 2 years
Justin Hunt (Saints Illawarrs) - 1 year
Josh Addo Carr (Sharks 20s) - 1 year

Who the hell is going to buy Moltzen ? No one is that stupid !!!

Apparently Manly have signed him.

Yep signed by Manly, might not be a bad pickup for them actually if he can remain fit. Wouldn't be on much coin and is a running 5/8. Will depend entirely on whether he can shek his injury woes. Moltzen wasn't actually a bad player, just was never a fullback and sheens tried to make him one.

According to Fox Sports, Wests Tigers have signed Josh Doddo-Carr from the under 20's Sharks on a one year deal. He can play fullback, wing and centre is 184cms tall and weighs 81kgs.

Actually not a bad signing for an U20's kid. Astute signing rather than speculative.

 

[Tigers Tale]

I don't know much about him (Carr) but he isn't very big based on those stats. Would be a little bit taller than Kurtis Rowe and about the same weight and I always thought he looked small on the field. I'd rather a big centre if we are looking to buy one.

Anyway, he might go alright so here's hoping.

Honestly, he is not a very good signing. He is shy of contact and doesn't like to tackle. Has a bad attitude as well.
I wanted him to succeed, and we were doing our best to re-sign him but he got the better of himself. Good NSW Cup depth but it will take a miracle to get him into first grade.

We signed him from Souths as a halfback and some how he ended up a three quarter.

Perfect for the Tigers!

Geez, our forward depth is light on for backrowers. I hope there is some action there soon. Not much available in the meat market- maybe re-sign Ava and Halatau for starters.

Just looking on Zero Tackle and there is not much there on the market. Maybe WT shoudl try to make a good attacking backrower? Sila is off contract, a reasonably speedy winger and good size- maybe could transition to back row. Lawrence has done it, maybe he could too.

 

[ucantseeme]

There won't be any name recognition signings with the salary cap issues and general lack of $$$ affecting the club.

Some of these new blokes could turn out to be the next Blake Austin.

MF, if JT was looking to manufacture an attacking back rower I would have suggested signing Blake Ayshford from the Sharks for peanuts after spending the year in NSW Cup but now he is off to NZ. Big and quick at a bargain price.

 

[macnaz]

Anyone heard a rumor about Nathan Merrit joining WT ?

 

[Clifferd]

Joel Edwards on a 2 yr contract

Ex Canberra and Newcastle player

 

[Tiger05]

We seem to be signing a fair few players. I reckon it looks good.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Edwards is shit

 

[The Charlatan]

Anyone heard a rumor about Nathan Merrit joining WT ?

Oh f**k no. That's not even remotely funny Macca.

 

[macnaz]

I know !! It was mentioned on a souffs forum , not the LU one.

 

[madunit]

How can our cap be so dire yet we can go and sign a bunch of players

 

[Marshall_magic]

Edwards could have some value. He's a strong defender and could play the role of bodyguard for Moses or Brooks (both are pretty dire). He can't be worse than Lovett.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I really hope that isn't going to be our basis for signing players

 

[Marshall_magic]

I really hope that isn't going to be our basis for signing players

Lovett is 5 times the player Santi is soooooo

 

[Wizardman]

Anyone heard a rumor about Nathan Merrit joining WT ?

I've heard that one too...hope its not true.
