Rumours and Stuff

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Gone - Officially.



Good luck CLINT and thanks for the memories.

Yeh, f***ing CLINT, merci, au revoir.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

good luck to Gutho, he always gave 110% for us!! Never let us down!!

But still the way he is leaving, once he had some pressure put on him for his position, is pretty disappointing to me....especially being our captain.....don't see many other club legends do that....

 

[Tiger5150]

We do. And if another club comes along next year and wants to give Api a contract that's 2 years too long and 100s of thousands of dollars too big, I'm sure the Tigers will do the right thing and let him leave.

Im sorry, what did Parra offer Guffo for 26? Nothing?

I am sure as hell that the Tigers will make Api an offer for 27 and not tell him he is free to talk to other prior to Nov 1.

I am with you... it does seem a little bit like he has left to dodge the fact that he isnt necessarily going to be the first one picked in his preferred role next year (and beyond). I am sure he stated at least twice in the last 12-18 months that he would play in any position if needed and yet here we are...

That's right you knob. That's the 2 years too long bit.

Are you sure really? He will be heading into the 2027 season as a 34 year old. Not too many number nines running around at that age in the NRL.

 

[hineyrulz]

Im sure Parra members wish him all the best. I guarantee we treat Api better than Guffo has been treated.

Give him a BBQ???

 

[I bleed blue & gold]

Anyone know anything about this fella?

Agreed. He’s said numerous times that he’d play wherever for the benefit of the club. Appears not.

Now let’s make some star signings.

Some comments in Juniors thread

 

[JokerEel]

It is interesting and Ryles must either have some amazing signing up his sleeve or bat shit crazy

You are in your first year and the club has gone to shit if you want to win a few games this year you keep Gutho but now there is a lot of unknowns and it could go pear shaped.

 

[Obscene Assassin]

Anyone know anything about this fella?

@Joshuatheeel has found out he's an 18 year old half/hooker who's already played 3 games of QCup for the Tweed Seagulls. Surprised the titans didn't have him signed up, it'd be odd for a non-NRL affiliated 18 year old who's played reserve grade to not have a contract somewhere.

 

[JohnStoppafarty]

Now let’s make some star signings.

An experienced and talented hooker on unders would be nice. A bit lippy, crisp clean service and willing to take on the line. Surely that's not too much to ask? I wouldn't complain if they turned their back on the defense every now n then.

 

[emjaycee]

Agreed. He’s said numerous times that he’d play wherever for the benefit of the club. Appears not.

Maybe he sees that playing at the Dragons is for the benefit of the club?

 

[TheRam]

What were they for then? Charity? We have 20 other merkins without them. Why didn’t they all get one?

MON's post nut clarity between contract negotiations.

 

[Tiger5150]

That's right you knob. That's the 2 years too long bit.

You ok bro?
I’m not arguing that Parra have made the wrong decision, I was reacting to old mate having a crack at Tigers for not giving players a send off despite what they are doing to the King. Glasshouses and all that

 

[Stagger eel]

Thank you King

club legend… forever 776

Last 11 years have been pear shaped

Brent Reed reckons we’re in the box seat for Brailey and JAC
