Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Disillusioned Tiger]

Now we are being linked to Mitchell Pearce by Phil Rothfield. Newcastle are only offering 500K (currently $1 million) for 2 years and likely to remove his captaincy. If this is true we should offer 400k for one year just to make sure he doesn’t come.

Rodwell is very highly rated by mates of mine who are staunch Souths fans

Hopefully he can make it, our 2nd row stocks are pretty thin. Not at all confident with Garner and Blore is untested but has potential

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Buzzard still on his Christmas bender. Would have taken Pearce 5 years ago, not now...anyways it’s most likely fake

I'd take Pearce in a heartbeat. Not gonna happen tho

 

[Vic Mackey]

Surely better ways to get attention, doesn’t seem too far fetched. Madge signed Rodwell when he was at souffs so obviously rates him

Just doesn’t sound likely. Stefano by all reports is extremely fit and professional, just look at how he handled his Parra exit and their refusal to release him.

Rodwell isn’t even signed yet

Doueihi openly said on the news Madge has told him he is 5/8 and Brooks has commented about their new partnership

Who plays 5/8 in Round 1 and happens if they have a blinder?

Not sure what happened there so I’ll try again. Who plays 5/8 in Round 1 and what happens if they have a blinder?

Re: With Doueihi, it’s possible Maguire was expecting Laurie to come during the off season, since it hasn’t eventuated he could be tossing up mbye at 5/8 and Doueihi out the back

I could be completely off the mark but just a guess

 

[Fordy20]

Mbye is a nonentity who offers nothing.I’m not a fan of the overpaid lazy Milford although unlike Mbye he does possess attacking prowess which has been dormant for a few yrs but as you say a change of scenery could revive his career

We do need a fullback for next year. Milford spent a bit of time playing fullback in 2019, but seems like he's spent more time in the halves. He's still fairly young for an NRL player and getting him down to Sydney could open up a few more options at other clubs for the back end of his career.

Mbye could do a job for the Broncos, especially in the centres given Staggs is out for long period of time and they don't have much in terms of seniority.

It just seems fair unlikely to happen for mine.

 

[Das Hassler]

If we entertained having Pierce then we may as well just offer Hayne a chance to redeem himself here as well. ..i'd rather have Brooks do half of what he does now than have that fulltime adolescent anywhere near the club.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I’d go Rods for the right money.

As for the Mbye/Milford swap, I’d rather swap Mbye and some cash for a sub marquee. Right now, I’d say no to Milford under any conditions.

He’s very ordinary Milford. If Seibs doesn’t want you, thats says a lot.

Plus (sadly) whispers of a chronic forever injury.

If he can recover and get a season or two of raising himself to factory, I’d consider him as 2nd class gear steward.

I’d prefer Mansour at fullback where even on his best day, he can’t handle more pressure than making a cup a tea.

Good to see we are still in the market causing mischief!

Long live the hopes, dreams, scandals, rumours , straight out fibs, lies and deceit of the NRL off season.

I'm we sign Milf-dud and The Poodle doodler then I'd pretty be pretty much done supporting the club. I might as well go do gay porn. It couldn't hurt any worse.

Lol

A straight swap milf for mspud. Milf has an upside, mspuds only upside is the termination date on his contract

 

[Disillusioned Tiger]

Word on another Tigers forum (and Panthers forum) is that Mansour has removed all affiliation with the Panthers from his Twitter. Question is, is it with us or Parra? Panthers seem to think it’s the Dogs -as he’s been training a lot with Cotric. If it’s us makes Novo signing on very doubtful (why else would we sign him) and Laurie would then be released. To be sorted out next week.

It may mean that we keep Laurie at least until another winger is signed ? as a stop gap.

Yes, I agree. I suspect Mansour isn’t coming to us as he would be in Reggies if he did.

I quite agree. No way he would in front of Jimmy the jet.

 

[Disillusioned Tiger]

I quite agree. No way he would in front of Jimmy the jet.

I think he’s probably good enough, but you can’t play Nofo and Mansour as the two wingers -both too short and like for like replacements (Mansour a much better defender thiugh). Also Jimmy, if able, is a centre. Having said that, your man would possibly make it for Round 1 as Doueihi is suspended for that game.

Smug in the house!
