Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Tigerm]

If we sign May who is a gun winger albeit jury out re his proficiency in the centres then the pressure on Bula to perform would surge as we could then afford to play Turuva at fullback

I'm backing Bula to show his worth.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

I did laugh my arse off last night when Tallis brought up the possibility of the NRL not registering contacts with clauses in them, allowing players get outs, and stopping rampant speculation.

Anasta's response was "if that happened we'd have nothing to talk about."

One can only hope.

Klemmer has gone !

Whoo Hoo !

I hope that means a lot of worth

What's your source Ned? I saw something behind a pay wall but it was the herald sun on Melbourne. Nothing on sites yet.

Here's hoping though

It was on Fox sports. I'm pretty sure it's a done deal.

It's good news for us. I reckon Klemmer is fine but we need better than fine and we need to balance our cap.

It is, but nothing on the club site as yet.

Concerning if true.

Might be a line in the sand moment for the club, drop him and promote Latu as our 5/8. We cannot be tolerating being disrespected by our own players, no matter who they are.

It's something on Instagram or something like that. It's just bullshit.

I am sick of the noise without the quality performances but I'm not reading much into any Murdoch related press article.

Agree, Richo might need another chat with mom, dad and the boy.
It has a feel of his manager pushing buttons.
But this is bullshit, he still has 2 years of a contract to go.
I hope they can keep him, but if he goes, he goes, we move on.
We upgrade Latu's contract., we probably should anyway.

Do any of you guys need a hit of a drug called IDONTGIVEASHITE.
I've got plenty to give away if your interested

[Tigers Tale 2.0]

Maybe I'm a poor judge but I am really not that into Galvin at 6. I can see him being a Yeo type at 13 but not for a while yet. I am more than happy to have Latu at 6, in fact I'd prefer him there to Galvin. If Galvin doesn't commit to us or he or his manager starts to chain rattle that he wants more I'd let him go and with the money we do have, I'd be throwing the bank at Eli Katoa or Olakuatu or Nikora. We have a more than solid replacement for Galvin on our books already but we are crying out for an edge forward that will win us games.

I think the 13 jumper awaits him, wherever he goes.
But I thought he was the leading light from last season.
I think we are judging him far too early in the season to say he won't be our 6 this season.
I want both him and Latu in the side as well, though.

When there is all the usual talk about testing the market, players liking instagram posts etc etc it invokes theories the player is being disrespectful but it is just the usual player manager stuff trying to drive up his clients value. For the most part the player, in this case Galvin, just wants to play footy, play well and do his best each and every week. I’m sure the kid is not in anyway disrespectful just leaving the business side of things to his manager and his sole focus is playing well this week.

Agree, I would never consider him as disrespectful, immature yes.
I'd be more anxious if it was the storm or your mob looking at him, but not so much Parra, they don't really offer any more than we do.
Infact, I don't think Parra are saying anything, it's just the managers telling journos who are getting clicks.
But he still has 2 seasons to run on his contract, so it's f**ked because it's a distraction and that this is even a discussion.
Richo needs to knock some heads together.

And here’s the thing, if his head is in the right place and he delivers on his potential in 2025 the riches will surely follow. Whether that’s with your club or another club time will tell, but can’t put the cart in front of the horse he has to deliver in 2025. It’s up to him, the West Tigers have recruited well for this season, as well as can be expected, the addition of Terrell May is huge he is a beast, huge motor, metre eater and plays big minutes.

I think Samuela Fainu has the potential to be as good as any of those 3, fingers crossed.

Yea in La La land.. Galvin knows what’s going on. And is consenting to it
