Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

[Fangs]

Pearcey you've done it again.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Our next signing??

 

[Original Name]

Has Ivan ever done that in his 14 years of coaching? I doubt he’s got the ability.

Ivan likes to buy under the radar, or underrated players and some reliable second stringer players like MWZ. Barring his weird signing of guys like Mybe on massive deals at the Tigers. You can look at someone like Capewell as a typical Ivan signing. Before that Matterson at the Tigers. James Maloney at the Warriors, etc. To me Eisunhuth seems like a reliable second stringer if we're going to be a top 4 team again.

I've seen a rumour we're interested in Scott Sorensen and that seems like another typical Ivan signing. He can play hooker before anyone complains about signing another second rower no idea about how well he plays there but has played there a bit. Since he can defend in the middle I would assume he has little to no trouble playing 13.

In Ivan’s weird paying over signings you forgot, on top of Mbye, Packer, Mattulino, Reynolds, and I think McQueen. Good luck.

I didn't forget them I just couldn't be bothered to look them all up. So I just mentioned signings as in plural which includes all of them.

Lodge apparently beat the shit out of the guy, who tried to save the girls, after forcing himself into his apartment. He smashed up the place, and told them ‘tonight is the night you die’. A real nice guy.

Wasn't Lodge playing for W/T when this happened ?

 

[Hooked]

Our next signing??

Good sleuthing. Might be a player swap deal with Tetevano?

 

[Jane Murray]

I think so.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Good sleuthing. Might be a player swap deal with Tetevano?

From what I recall, he’s a decent player without being brilliant. I think the softer super league defence probably makes him look a bit better than he is.

If we have signed him, I think it’s a smart buy/swap.

The thing I like it show our club is thinking outside the square .we where losing tetavano anyway .we get something out of it this way.Same with burton Laurie they stay unless we get something in return
Our premiership window is now

 

[franklin2323]

A soap dodger, or returning ex NRL player?

I believe a tweet today confirms a Leeds player coming home

We are talking number 5 or 6 prop. So that does the job

He allows Martin or Kikau to spend time in the middle though. So can offer something to the 17

Yep, was awesome, what a great player. He then went psycho and was then fired on the spot. I still can’t believe he was ever allowed to play again. Walker, Tetevano, should have been members of that banned club. At least Packer did his time, and rarely plays.

Not having a go at you, just making everyone aware of not trusting Ivan’s left field purchases! At the Panthers he walked into a side on the up, and Barrett was a huge part of last year.

Ava Seumanufagai
West tigers 105 games 5 tries
Cronulla 13 games. 0 tries
Leeds rhinos
Solid player unlikly to hit first grade unless a huge injury toll
Upside is he is on minimum wage so it’s a win situation for the club

Thankfully he doesn’t have complete control of recruitment here, although that could change.

So the club says...

Barrett who Ivan recruited? That Barrett you mean?

Ivan also recruited guys like Kite and Sika Manu and a bunch of others for overs in his first stint with us. It was a stated strategy to bring winners with great attitudes and leadership to the club to stepchange the culture before they started trying to get the absolute most out of the cap to contend.

I think he had the Tigers on the same route, which bore some impressive, pride filled performances before he left. Unfortunately I don’t think just assembling a well cap managed squad will get the Tigers a premiership.
