Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

[Old Time Tiger]

I have a slightly different take 05. I personally think Haas is not who we need. We have the makings of a good YOUNG pack here.

8 Clark
9 ???
10
11 Matterson
12 Garner
13 Aloiai

14 Twal
15 Mikaele
16
17 Chee-Kam

I think what we actually need is a forwards leads. Someone who has done the hard yards, maybe played origin and / or internationally and can push these young guys. Someone like James Graham or Wade Graham (not suggesting these two, just "in the style of").

I think (for once) our forwards have actually had a good season, its our backs that have let us down.

Yeah I tend to go along with your thinking but if we get anyone he has to be tough, runs hard at the defensive line and says ‘follow me boys’. Mikaele is the one I think who will come on the most after a good off season.

 

[Tiger05]

Yeah 05 but remember the ‘silly season’ always comes early for we Tiger fans.

Unfortunately.

I do agree with have the makings of a good young pack but I'd still prefer a gun prop. Matterson also may be a better middle forward rather than edge forward. He offers a lot at lock and is easily one of our best players.

I think Lawrence, Chee-Kam and Garner can cover the edge positions. Aloiai & Mikaele in the middle will get us going forward. Clark, Twal and Eisenhuth are all pretty good.

I don't like the idea of signing a senior player. We have Packer and Matulino who fit that role. I also can't see any club getting another talent like Hass but he would make our pack unreal.

The biggest problem though is the 9 position. I like ET and he fills in well but he is an ordinary dummy half.

Agree, I’d previously suggested a guy like Matt Prior would be awesome for us. Sharks apparently need to offload a few, I’d be looking at him.

Isaac Luke basically said he'd love to play under Madge again. Said it on Twitter

I thought it was a joke at first but it was legit

We don’t need anymore a-grade bludgers like Luke

Hopefully we can retire Matts and Packer will piss off and go to another club. The money the'd free up would allow us to sign some hard heads. Guys who aren't getting all the wraps but get the job done week in and week out.

You don't rate him?

Tbf I haven't watched much of him the past couple years I just remember him killing it at Souffs

Going to the warriors = career suicide

If Packerlino is out for 2020 my ideal replacements are
Ese'ese
Musgrove

Musgrove's hearing was adjounred last week, The Court was showm CCTV footage of the alleged victim approaching Musgrove in the bar. Shortly after the hearing was adjourned. I think the next step would be for the charges to be dropped. At that point we could re-visit him for 2020 on a reduced contract.

Played his best footy under Madge. Maguire wouldn’t tolerate any shit from him and he’d know it.

There was talk a little while ago of cordener being pissed off that chritchon was being paid double his salary. If we have to pay $800k for a forward I'd spend it on him

At face value for sure but a lot of what drives any player to excell is WANTING to play for who he's playing for....past reputation means zilch if they see it ( the new club) as a step down dont WANT to win with them.....Blair...Hayne..Sandow etc etc.... A hungry hound hunts best

 

[Choiboi]

Billy Walters. Hope the rumours are true. Good system, pedigree, kicks goals and seems like a decent kid

He certainly ticks plenty of boxes

 

[The unknown]

Yep, if we were to buy young players in key positions, coming from a strong club is a good start

 

[Smellmyfinger]

I don't know about Walters. Any player stuck behind Brodie Croft can't possibly have enough to his game to answer our prayers.

 

[Fordy20]

Cameron King putting his hand up for the Tigers hooking role too.

 

[cerberus]

Ok can someone tell why the nrl hate
Flanagan so much . Seems he did exactly the same thing as hasler .but is being crucified for it .

We are the big show guys. Players want to come here.
