Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tiger Stripes]

O

Alaimalo might surprise all of us...

He would certainly surprise me!

 

[supercoach]

Yeah I was just telling Dempsey give him a chance
in 1st grade, played in the highest level - he will lift

Mate would be thrilled if we have pulled a diamond from the sand, but to have your first crack in the top grade up against a hot Bronks side coming off what only can be described as patchy form in reserve grade is a massive ask. Although most players will tell you it is easier to perform in the top grade as you have better players around you.

Fingers crossed we have found ourselves a goer

Has Tigers confirmed signing Turuva or Penrith confirmed he is leaving?

No and no

 

[barnsta]

No and no

Thanks GNR, I do hope it is true as I have been mislead by the media on more than one occasion when it comes to the Tigers apparently signing players

More likely because he has scored 40 tries and made 42 line breaks in 44 games of NSW Cup

ok, So why would anyone see him as a half?
Halves are there to guide the team and steer them around. They set up the tries.

Lets make it crystal clear. Does O Large show good football knowledge and the game understanding of Cooper Cronk? OR does he seem more like Greg Ingles/Israel Filau?

That conversation was about Allan Fitzgibbon the winger? How did you get to Large?

Jett Cleary off to the Warriors. Could be a good move for him playing behind a huge pack. Plus Webster used to coach at the Panthers and is a very good coach.

Found this interesting - would have thought he would stay in the hope to partner big bro under dad.

He could return to the Panthers in 4 years with good experience.

Makes sense for the Panthers and Clearys long term...

Jett gets to stay with Andrew Webster and learn under SJ and Te Maire while he develops his game and matures as a person while off the Panthers cap - and will finish this 3-year contract when he is 21 and battle ready to maybe play with his brother for a few years..

This is very much like the JFH deal where both parties have acted for mutual benefit

 

[Canadian Club]

Has Tigers confirmed signing Turuva or Penrith confirmed he is leaving?

No confirmation from either club but he told his teammates today he took up an offer with the Tigers.

A few teammates like To'o, Tago and others shared posts on social media about him signing with the Tigers and wished him luck/farewell. From that you would have to assume baring some change of heart in the 10 day cooling off period that it is done.

Panthers player's have confirmed on their social media, Turuva has told his team mates his going to the tiger's 25

Oooops sorry you beat me to it CC

Solid signing of turuva.. if we're thinking one more outside back.. how about Blake wilson from the dogs .. looked the goods in his few first grade games .. fast, young ,good finisher , 6 foot + minimum salary.. just sitting behind Kiraz and JAC.. worth a punt I reckon.. maybe even get him this year..

Plenty worse, he plays well and keeps improving.

Turuva coming to play centre means we still need a left winger. I agree with a 13 but some think Latu will grow into that for us.

If we are talking priority though it will be locking down Stefano long term next.

I genuinely think toa will or could be shifted.

100% correct though, Stef and Galvin. Priorities, over external options.

 

[phil1986]

Very happy with the signing of Turuva.

What is the priority now? I would like to see a very good 13. Some may say we need another outside back?

Benji showed his hand last week.

It was only for 20 mins. But 2 halves were on the field with latu at lock.

That’s how the three (latu, luai, Galvin) fit next year in someway.

Although latu may still be eased in, based on the rest of the year.
