Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Tiger Woody]

Woods at lock is almost laughable. His scrambling defence is nearly as bad as it gets. He's a prop forward or nothing in my books.

Matulino in the back row would certainly be worth a thought though. He's played well in that role for us previously. Clearly played him there in his early days as well. IIRC that is where he also spent most of his time in our U20's winning team way back when. I'm certainly not happy he's left us. A very good pickup by Ivan.

Woods as enforcer is 10 times funnier......
doesnt move fast enough to play lock,and even too slow for prop.
Lets get rid of him....Oh yeah we did....

For the right amount of money Woods would be okay but that is about it. Wanka Moses and the Turd are bigger losses than Woods.

I suppose next year he might fit into our pack but only on decent dollars. He shouldn't be picked for rep footy ever again.

Yeah,think his rep days are numbered,especially if we get a new SOO coach.

Matt Wright is still unsigned, can play anywhere in the backline and kicks goals. Aggressive defender too

Hard pass for me on Wright. I think we're totally fine for outside back. Plus he's a plodder.

We need a goalkicker in 2018 that can hold his place in first grade

We do but only in close games. I reckon being able to win games is more important. We didn't lose today's game on goal kicking.

We lost it on bad missed tackles for Panthers last 2 tries thru the middle.

Brooks and Grace Jones
Then poor miss by Eisenhuth.......
We cant afford that with games on the line.....We went ok for 70 mins though.

Aiden Sezer is looking like he might be released from the Raiders next year onwards. Really wish we'd make a play for him if true

Awesome kicking game and can kick goals also

Why are they moving him on?

So just a pipe dream at this stage but Canberra are one of the clubs that may need to release a couple players.

From brisbanetimes.com.au

Shark patrol
Cronulla are considering making a play for Aidan Sezer if disgruntled playmaker James Maloney leaves the Shire outfit.

Maloney is contracted to the premiers for another season but believes he isn't being paid his market worth. Several clubs are watching the situation with interest and the Warriors are firming as a potential destination should a release be granted. The Sharks won't part with the NSW pivot unless a suitable replacement can be found and it remains to be seen whether Sydney-bound Cooper Cronk is a viable alternative.

Canberra will be one of the clubs under immense salary-cap pressure after overestimating the figure for next season, which is likely to be about $9.2 million. If the Green Machine is forced to jettison players, Sezer could be one of the men it reluctantly parts company with. That would free up the Sharks to make a play for the Raiders half in what would be a new-look halves combination with Chad Townsend.

Maloney has enjoyed success across the Tasman and the Warriors are keeping their options open after losing Kieran Foran to Canterbury.

Be nice if we could get the jump like they did with Austin, sign him after his contract expires and then just say "why bother holding on to him now lads? He's gone anyway."

Wouldn't you (and the players) rather be 16 all or 18-16 in front with 10 to go yesterday instead of 2 behind? To dismiss goal kicking as being not important is laughable.

They lost the game v Parra on goalkicking and will lose a few more if LoLo keeps the job in 2018...

Big weakness in the team that they haven't resolved yet for next year..

Parra and sharks at shark park were on goal kicking. Even games like the other week against the Titans. Had scored 3 and totally dominant but were only up 14-0. Titans scored and suddenly its 14-6 instead of 18-6. Massive difference.

I think the goal-kicking issue could explain the interest in Tyrone Roberts

Maybe ,but Tyrone Roberts is being talked about as playing off the bench..Not on the field for 80 mins.
Could be a backup for when Brooks doesnt improve...
Does he have a short kicking game and can he play 7?

Sorry guys but my patience has run out with Brooks.....rocks and diamonds still after 4 years in top grade.
Seems to shy to me on the field to boss people around and take control....Always looks as if hes nervous and no confidence.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

The ABC were saying yesterday that Seizer might be heading back to the Bulldogs. Apparently a Bulldogs junior.

As for the Tigers and goal kicking, it's very important and we need a consistent kicker who can also hold his position in 1st grade, is Gamble that man with Reynolds running the show from 5/8 ?

 

[The Charlatan]

How are the Bulldogs meant to fit Sezer in as well as hang on to Frawley, when they may have to turf talent that hasn't even pulled a jersey on for them yet?

 

[The Charlatan]

Tyrone Roberts is very much a solid signing. If that doesn't get Brooks arse into gear, nothing will.
