Hahahah... jeeze... taking a step back..

Ìf we get flannigan it will be the same as keeping brooks.

How can the Eels even talk to Joffa without the Tigers saying he can leave? I don't understand the rules around player discussions at all...
Aside from that, do the Eels really need Joffa? He'll just be coming off the bench there too?
This is a strange one.

You can talk to anyone at any time. You just can't get them to sign a contract (or try and Register one anyway) it's all shady as hell

So would they also be named the tigers?!?!?

Probably find our club would offer to forgo the Tiger part of our club, and just use the Magpies as our name, to allow them to keep the Tiger set up.

If Gus gets Hunt I will be filthy the bloody koala bear!!

I rate Flanagan a better 7 than Brooks.

I'll caveat that by saying I think Brooks is a better footy player but not at halfback

Just read somewhere that Ravalawa is unhappy too. Big fella knows how to bag a try or three!

 

[Camel2281]

I heard them say they'd re-name themselves (ie not tigers) if their bid was successful.

They were the Firebirds bid last time

We need halves so would be happy to swap Joffa for Jake Arthur but it doesent nessecwrily mean a swap because we might want to open up a spot for a half from somewhere else.

For our Team Pole can move into the prop rotation and Matamua to lock or Bateman with Blore into 2nd row. We have lots of forward depth and need halves so would be OK with the decision.

Joffa signed an extension in May last year but since then we have signed Klemmer, Bateman, held onto Ipap which was doubtful back then as well as seen Pole come out of nowhere. We also are prob much happier and clearer with our young forwards coming through too which we will need to open up spots for and imo was always going to be Twal or Joffa who had to leave at some stage

I think they will become the Tigers and we the Wiggles. Is there any obstacle to the players having different colours instead of just the one design and the skipper becoming Feathersword ?

That’s an upgrade on Nofa.

Nice try.

Ofa for Rankin knowing our management

Although Joffa only re-signed 8 months ago, it's clear to say a fair bit has changed up front.
Klem signing long term and has moved into the leader of the pack. Stef finally fit and appears a walk-up starter, as does Pole, who the coaching staff absolutely love. The club has realised there’s too much money in a wasted bench spot. Matamua, Blore all able to fill a role.

If Joffa makes way, it promotes a top 30 spot for Aitasi James.

James has been edging closer every week in the team selections.

Rippa We haven’t had a winger that good since jac was here

If Joe O is released, Parra will take over his current contract.
For the Tigers, I don't think we will get anything in return, however that will free up a top 30 spot
I believe Aitasi James will be promoted.

I can just hear Shonky Sheens saying he could be our new DCE

James can be selected now. I would give him a couple of games before saying he’s the future. Try before you buy

Titans have dropped Pereira. He'd be a goood addition to the WT backline.

Yeah I was on their site. They talk him up like an agressive hard-worker etc. He ain't agressive. But He is a hard-worker.

Why would we let him go?

Twal has improved heaps and he's been the same but that's still consistent and good for a bench prop..I'd rather more impact but our forwards are going alright at the moment.

 

[Aceshigh]

Moving Joe O would be a very positive move going forward.

Solid player, but has 2.5 years to go and will be a bench player at most.

We have kids like Chris Fa’agutu coming through who are going to be vastly better than Joe. That spot needs to be opened up / cleared.

If we can jag Sanders in the deal...it will be an absolute masterstroke.

Parra never ever do us any favours so dont count on getting anything out of them
