Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Ned Kelly]

Hunt's signature is also looking likely

I don’t know enough about the three that have been mentioned, but if they come, I just hope they don’t treat it as a holiday.
Though I give Richo credit, that he knows what he’s doing.
All of them look like they may add to the team, but only game time will tell.

Agree but those fwds you mentioned aren't classic middles. We don't have an enforcer who can come on when required to plug the gaps in the middle and bully our way fwd.
You see in that video I posted. Hunt was attracting 3 defenders, making post contact metres and still gets the offload. Our halves would have a field day with a middle like that. Trouble is there's none out there.

Stef has done that this a bit this year. I don't think Hunt will be an upgrade on him. I'd prefer a player like that but the thing is building a team is a funny thing. We won the comp with pretty ordinary forwards and I can't remember a big guy who was a battering ram.

Will he be exposed defensively. I've seen Pole exposed and he is a pretty agile middle forward.

I expect the coaching staff to somehow fashion a team out of what they have and they have plenty to work with. We also had plenty to work with this year.

Corey Horsburgh is touring the Wests Tigers facilities today.
A bit of a firebrand but I would be willing to take a chance with him.

Needs a haircut does he Ned?

I can't see Corey and Hunt both coming to the Tigers. Maybe they need to have it out in the ring to settle the squabbles.

Stefs done that for us? Nah! He’s done Nothing that even resembles what Hunts doing in the vid…Hunts trying to run through or even hurt players like all props should ..Stefs been going through the motions, nothing more

 

[WA Tiger]

We haven't had a middle that can cause so much damage before...

Sirronen would be the best we’ve had, but this guy hunt is on another level.. a big risk ofcourse, but an even bigger reward.. I havnt seen that need to dominate before.

I don't think so. He would have a great highlights package.

I'm fine he is gone but that is simply because of the contract cost.

Stefano's highlight package is not great Tiger. I've watched his every game since coming here from Parra, has a few games, gets injured, nothing spectacular. Everyone including me could see him developing into a solid middle one day, did it happen, nah, could it happen, maybe.
If he stayed things may have improved but now that he's gone to a club that will make that 'could' to a should.
