Provided he is on decent coin, I like the re-signing, I think Tighe has been pretty good for us lately, at least he provides a bit of pace and footwork to our backline.

Decent from the club's perspective anyway

Agree though, good signing imo. Has played really well this year, and for most of last year as well. Turned into a solid first grader.

 

[abpanther]

Yeah that's what I meant, as long as we ain't over paying him I'm happy

 

[Doomednow]

I like him. Good finisher. And yeah like his pace. I'm happy with nearly all our backs

 

[mortz]

i am devo.
but on a side night, i can still drink with him at the overlander

 

[Fibroman]

Good signing. Very good centre or winger.

I hope so. We need to re-sign Coote, Grant and McKendry next season

Doesn't get much of a look in for a centre spot these days. Adrian's doing to good a job.

Seriously, thou I agree with Fibroman our season is in serious danger of going the same way as 2008 and 2009 unless ME address the Purtell situation.

Fortune favours the brave and I would be bringing Bob Blair back in. ME wont but I would.

I wonder if the local TAB's rallied together to put forward a Third Party deal to keep Tighe in Penrith

The Aussie Arms weighed in with free bistro meals and evenings with Fibroman on the pokies. Fibroman is good entertainment value and if he is cashed up he will fund Brad's punting on the King of the Nile.

huh???

 

[Big Mick]

huh???

He was being sarcastic imo.

 

[Fibroman]

Blair must get a look in surely if Purtell buggers up this week.

 

[betcats]

i thinks blairs injured?

 

[Kilkenny]

huh???

I was being facietious, sarcastic whatever you call it. He has been somewhat of a liability and sides will continue to exploit his poor reads and lack of acceleration in defence each and every week.

 

[abpanther]

I still can't believe we re-signed him for another 3 years, I know I should have faith in Gus and Cleary but the guy offers nothing really, he has pace but is no threat to break the line, would've preferred to see the money spent elsewhere

 

[franklin2323]

Yeah we need backrowers that can offer something & we waste money on a useless centre.

 

[Big Mick]

We signed Lewis Brown, we've got good, young explosive backrowers coming through and Tighe isn't on that much money at all.

Should he have been re-signed...probably not...but for what he is on...he'll be handy depth in time. We wouldn't attract a JWH for a third of what Tighe is on.

How exactly is it a total waste of money and what would we attract with his money (which isn't significant at all!)

Honestly...bit of perspective wouldn't go astray.

How much do you think Tighe is on?

If we re-signed him for cheap then I don't mind as he has some FG experience, however I suspect we paid significantly more than the minimum and to be that's not money well spent.

Would rather see us going after some young talent
