LOL @ Tigers

[The '47ers]

Looks like the Olam/Blore swap deal is back on as well for the Tigers

Olam's Storm exit to be confirmed in immediate player swap

Olam may have played his last game for the Storm.

That completely nullifies the fairness of the comparison, though. When you keep the reality of the salary cap in view, Brooks on $600k is a much better buy than Luai on $1.2 mil.

The fairer comparison is Luai v DCE.

Luai’s deal makes DCE look like the bargain of the century.

Not really, as a % of the salary cap DCE has been far more expensive. I wouldn't swap DCE for Luai but today's 1.2M is yesterday's 800K.

Fair point. I didn’t realise the cap had gone up so much to be honest…

 

[The Wheel]

Hearing about a high profile departure from the Tigers

 

[MW66]

Scoot Fulton?

 

[JenEagle]

Not surprising. He didn’t get on with Benji at all. Now they have signed the Fainus and Luai they don’t need him anymore.

It’s gone up 20%. So really 800k in the past is $1m today

 

[Tragic Eagle]

If there was friction then the smart thing was to nip it in the bud.

Tigers move on from recruitment guru Scott Fulton after eight months

Scott Fulton was signed by Lee Hagipantelis and Justin Pascoe last May without the knowledge of then-coach Tim Sheens and his eventual successor Benji Marshall.

Richardson decided Scotty was needed anymore. They got the Fainu's, thank you, bye..

 

[Coops manly]

This will be interesting the tigers are now full of tartak players thanks to the Fulton connection

 

[JenEagle]

we just signed wakeham.. I am speechless at this. Why would we do this. Surely he gets nowhere near first grade ever

Funny that, Sione Fainu wanted to fight wakeham
After last years game. Now they’ve swapped teams to let the feud continue

Blacktown signing I believe

 

[JenEagle]

Wakeham is not even good enough for nsw cup imo.

Can kick a goal though. I think last year he kicked 17 in a row for the Tigers.

 

[SeaEagleSI1]

Wakeham is a good signing for blacktown workers.
Means he will be in the team week in week out.
Nsw cup teams struggle because they don’t know who’s playing until sometimes days before hand.
Now the team can gel better together and not wait until the nrl team is cut to 18 players.

Really?
I get it he is coming from the wooden spooners, but he was fairly instrumental in at least one of their wins. That seems to be a good pick-up for a NSW Cup team in my book.
