pushing players out????

[mean_maori_mean]

With talk of Fulton being looked at by the warriors and this weeks RLW which says Salford is after Corey Payne and Bronson Harrison.

Looks like Tigers are trying to push out players. Either they are at the Cap again or Sheens and Mcdonnell have finally realised years of recruiting and developing secondrowers cant keep on going.

They havent got the right mix of players.

Players have had too take pay cuts to stand under the cap etc.

If they push out any of the kiwi boys, I can see all of them eventually leaving. Leaving the tigers to perhaps become the next Canberra.

Also its pretty late in the season to try to push out players.

In todays game clubs spend nearly as much time trying to sell players as they do trying to buy them. I get the feeling they are about to have a big go at a class player although I cant see to many on the market for 2009.

As for Fulton been offered to the warriors, I doubt it. Might be a ploy by his manager to try and squeeze a few more dollars out of the club who knows.Both Harrison and Payne would be mad not to accept any big fat contracts from ESL as come 2009 they will be used as back up players at best

I doubt Fulton will go.

Not too concerned about the other two.

If Harrison leaves, I hope he loses some kilo's and moves to lock. I reckon he'd be a better player there.

He's certainly not a front rower.

Fulton is going nowhere. Hopefully Payne is hahaha

From all reports though we are looking at a major signing which is odd cause its never been our bag to spend big on 1 player.

 

[The Gambler]

Still cant get my head around the Warriors looking at Fulton? Oh well.

I can. Most of their team are big units that trundle forward all day with the exception of luck, they are probably looking to add a ball playing lock who gets through lots of work in defence, he would complement their style, especially considering they wont have many halves next year. We need to cut payne loose keeping bronson would be good as we are losing ohara but if we lost all of payne harrison and ohara and added another quality front rower and ellis, i'd be very happy. IMO fulton will stay, ohara and payne will go and harrison is 50/50

I reckon we might be freeing up cash for Hunt at the end of next season.

I read rumours today that we have signed Fulton on a 2 year deal.....

 

[madunit]

i didn't think the warriors would be interested in fulton.

He doesn't offer anything to your side that you don't already have imo.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Yeah I'm not sure why we are chasing him tbh. He would alomost struggle to get a spot int he 17 next season.

Mannering
Lilyman
Luck

Mautalino
Fai

 

[ucantseeme]

The Warriors are just trying to grab any Aussie they can to play for them

Where did you hear you guys are after Liam Fulton? I thought you were after Laim Foran? The back up half for the Storm.

[Spank]

uuummm it doesnt say anywhere in that article that you signed Liam Fulton for 2 years ??

madunit - i think your right, we gonna make a play for Hunt

Although i keep hearing the Antonio Kafusi is in talks with the Tigers for 09 and is right on the verge of signing

 

[smeghead]

Warriors signed Lewis Brown to be in their words "their Dene Halatau" Fulton signing wouldn't make much sense in light of that. Unless they want him as a centre

 

[The Gambler]

Yep, still makes no sense to me...

 

[Matrix]

I think its Liam Foran as the warriors need halves and have already signed Lillyman to add to Luck,Mannering,Lauaki, Matulino and Sonny Fai.They have plenty of 2nd rowers.

 

[Tommax25]

tigers signed that gareth ellis guy from uk, maybe he's the big name player they are making room for. I know he is already signed but maybe they need to make room cause for upgrades or something.

I reckon it will be hunt they make a play for though.

Fair enough. I think we'll miss Fulton if he goes.

 

[innsaneink]

He's not going anywhere
