He would be an ok buy don't know if he would solve all out problems but yeah we need a prop bad.

 

[Wrighty79]

I may as well pull on a tigers jersey if we sign him.

 

[HOT028]

This is a joke, why are we always linked to nobodys but are never linked to good first graders?

 

[Gus22]

Good player. Carts the ball up strongly. Would be a welcome addition. Still not the lunatic I think we need. I say get both Scott & BEATTIE.

 

[Miracle Balls]

Good, honest player but couldn't imagine Canterbury not doing everything in their power to keep him now that they've lost Price.

but age is coming on him. he is 28

Do some of you actually watch the footy? He was outstanding against us. He's a good player. I'd love to see him a Tiger.

 

[Gus22]

but age is coming on him. he is 28

Exactly the same age as Skandalis. Is he too old?

 

[Tigerpete]

haha, yeah 28, the prime of his career. I think he would be good. Add a little competition up front, and he's a goer, not one to take a backward step. One things for sure he'll go all day long.

 

[LiL_MiSs_TiGeR_BaBe]

No Skandalis isn't. But why offer good money to a new player who may only be with us for 2 years when we could use that money for a good young forward (not that there are many left :evil: )

Not comparing the ability of Dennis Scott to Steve Price but Price is 31 and signed a new contract for 3 years meaning he will be 34 at the end of it. Therefore, you could assume that we would get a lot more than 2 years out of Dennis Scott.

28 is not that old for a Front Rower especially with the mobilty that Scott has. I think he would be a solid buy and would add to the team which I think is what you're looking for from any new signing, to make the team better.

Besides, signing a good young forward doesn't mean they are going to be around for years. They could suffer a career ending injury after 5 minutes. That's the gamble you take with signing or re-signing any player

If we signed a good young forward, the rorters will probably end up pinching him anyway ;-)

 

[steven_tiger]

scott is a very good player, and one i would love to see at the tigers.

 

[yappy]

You could do infinitely worse. Not a superstar but gets his hands dirty.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I'd sign him for sure.

Isnt a superstar, but he is a prop and we need props. Would go better than the likes of Patterson, that's for sure.

 

[yappy]

The only real issue is that he isn't the biggest Front rower around and the Tiges really need an enforcer. You ain't likely to get one of them though so if signing Scott kills any talk of playing Laffranchi up front that in itself would be a positive. He's averaging 11 h/ups, 100m, and 20 odd tackles so he puts in and would at least give Skandalis a serious helping hand.

 

[Vicious]

Scott is a good player,no doubt about it.I don`t think he`d leave the Bulldogs unless we made him a pretty good offer,i`m predicting 150k+ and I doubt he`s worth that much!As for inforcers,Mark Merideth,Robert Tanielu and Kylie Leuluai(depending his availability) all have the potential to play that role for us!

 

[HappyTiger]

Id give him the thumbs up too.He's solid and does the hard yards.Underated if you ask me too.

 

[Mighty Tiger]

but age is coming on him. he is 28

Exactly the same age as Skandalis. Is he too old?

And the same age as a player who alot of people wanted to sign with the club in Stringer.

 

[Davester]

Any new news on him??
