Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

The Tigers made the three-time premiership winner a priority after releasing rising star Tallyn Da Silva to the Eels and with Koroisau now committed to the club, this masthead understands that they have now set their sights on Queensland under-19 five-eighth Javon Andrews.
Andrews, on the books at the Gold Coast Titans, starred for the Maroons in their State of Origin win earlier this year after overcoming a serious spinal injury that threatened his future early in his career.

The Tigers have now emerged as a potential home as they look to strengthen their own spine in the wake of Koroisau’s retention and the possible departure of Adam Doueihi, who has a one year offer on the table from the club but is exploring his options elsewhere.

Some of Andrews highlights from the Origin U19 looked impressive, layed on the final try with a nice kick into the in goal then iced the kick from the sideline to win the game. I'd say this points towards Doueihi leaving as Andrews looks like a direct replacement.

It’s unequivocal AD is leaving due to appointing the demonic oxygen thief as his manager

Can't find too much about him, but was on our books a few years ago.

Javon is a six so likely a depth signing.
More importantly we need to find a goal kicker if we lose Douehi.

100% critical.

Stop the presses.

Stop the presses.

Hey mate - there is our goal kicker.

Stop the presses.

I knew we were on the cusp of signing someone like this, my chilblains were playing up which is a good indication something was happening

From what I can gather he is an up and coming ⅝.
This might be a shrewd signing as we might need insurance if Rommy decides to buzz off to Perth.

 

[Nutz]

This is promising however his kicking style is not textbook. I'd like to get some stats on him if someone can find them.

Rising Queensland halves ready to take next step after U19 win

Cool, calm and collected is the only way to describe Queensland Under 19 five-eighth Javon Andrews’ performance against New South Wales on Thursday night.

He's got a nice step, kick and can play direct....interesting.

Yes, though he might be a few years away from the NRL. But could be good timing.

Must be different rules for the other clubs.

Looks like he was born to be a WT.

Isn't Makisini a goal kicker? Going to be some headaches now that May is in the starting 17 but my god I'm happy for it

I wonder who misses out. I think it'll be Skelton but maybe To'a. They are both first graders.

Staines won't make it and apart from last week he has been good for us.

I think To'a should be the one.

Skelton & Toa are both shit defenders from the same mould as Nofa & Naiqama & umpteen other imbecilic outside backs that have been employed by the Concord rejects society.Neither player would get a gig in the NRL at a strong club contending for the premiership.Coz May is a proven gun winger it will probably be Skelton.Imo in the not too distant future LL is likely to jump both Skelton & Toa in pecking order.

With all the drama at the Knights, at least it's taken us off the sports pages. For now.
