@avocadoontoast that would have involved a another club
we had the money for hynes and it was spent on Hastings dumb dumb dumb
scary to think we could release Brooks and have mmbye and Brooks salary taking up 800k to play against us
My guess is we did discuss signing Hynes, except Hynes didn’t want a bar of us.
Hynes is a 7 and doing a good job at sharks can play 6 and 1
Tigers listened to Scott Woodward (check out his segment on SEN afternoons with Jimmy smith this week) he picked out Hastings and was calling him practically daily from ESL
We went the wrong player we should have gone Hynes over Hastings
IMO its been a problem with Tigers recruiting for a long time, definitely 5years at least. We keep signing players who are "almost" something or just out and out utilities. Mbye (utility but doesnt excel anywhere) , Douiehi (Almost a 6, 4, 1), Peachey (almost a 6 or 13) , Laurie (almost a 1) , Hastings (almost a 7), Garner, Talau, AJ, so many
I wish we focused on specialists. In the strong clubs, the focus is on every man just does their job. At the Tigers everyone is OK at 2 or 3 jobs but not great at any of them.
Maybe we can sign Sione Fainu and Manly release him to us and we do an early release for Tualagi
That should still leave a spot for Euan Aitkin who wants a release from Warriors as he wants to stay in Australia
At the time heard from a source we were chasing Aitkin pretty hard and he signed with warriors.
Euan Aitkin would be perfect can cover centre or second row
But not be particularly good at either of them. We need specialists.
Sione Fainu apparently granted release by Manly to join us immediately.

How long until he gets a run in first grade do you reckon?
Will this be in addition to Pele (If we can sign him)???

My understanding is that Pele isn’t on our radar.

We couldn't even sign Radar O'Reilly

I read on fb that we talking to two bulldogs second rowers, one with nrl experience the other one a good young player. Don’t know if true but I think we need some more experience players with leadership qualities.
No word yet on Sione Fainu being officially signed by the club. We might need him against the Titans!
