Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

Nup not like Douiehi. We didn't sign him after he had done 2. He'd done 1, played a decent few games after that and then did his 2nd. Billy Smith has played a handful of games over a few seasons.

Billy Smith
2 games in 2019
3 games in 2021
if we go by the Jacob Liddle career game calculation as he has only played 1 or 2 games in a season this is not counted so effectively he is making his debut.
Like Jacob he had 1 game in 2016 so we don't count that

Just thought I would throw it in here as it is a good tool for player evaluation. (If you weren't aware) on the NRL website you can look at an individual player and their win/loss ratio per season. It makes for some real ugly reading for Tigers players

For example besides 2013 where he played one game - 2018 is the only season where Luke Brooks won 50% of games - 12 wins 12 losses
Another classic is - Joffa in 2020 at the Broncos - 15 games for 15 losses

FYI - Momers played one season at the Tigers (2019) and achieved 50% - 6 wins / 6 losses

I obviously realise it is a team sport and one player usually doesn't win or lose a game - but it would be nice to recruit some players used to winning!

Noffa’s record wouldn’t be much better. The club has been poor for over a decade, so their records aren’t going to be good.

Yep - Nofa isnt much better he has had two seasons at 50%
2014 - 8 wins 7 losses
2018 - 9 wins 9 losses

And the cynics will blame the players for those records, ignoring that those records reflect the worst on the club. If Brooks left and Moses stayed, do people think we’d be playing finals and Brooks wouldn’t at Parra?

Don't have to worry about limiting it to those 2 Players...
The Club has 5 seasons (Out of 22) Where we've won 50% or more of our games in a season.
FIVE!!
With players like Benji and Robbie - Woods and Tedesco

What kind of question is that?
There's people here who think we'll win the comp with Madden at 7!!

Like Douiehi?

I think you're sort of making the opposite point to what you think you are. Yes, exactly like Douiehi: signing a player who has had major knee issues is a risk, like the one we signed who has since done a second ACL.

Blore as well

Bit random, but is Tommy Talau still alive? Has not been mentioned once by the club in 6 months. Yet, we seem to get updated whenever Doueihi uses the bathroom.

He's been spotted on social media.
He and AJ seem to have a bit of an ongoing battle....

You always miss the point, its not about winning the comp with madden, its about realising the current general isn't up to it. If you can't see that Im so sorry las.

A change in 7 isn’t going to change much. We’ll still be an ordinary side who show little to no heart.

So you don't attempt to make any changes at all?

Of course you do but there needs to be an improvement. There is no use dropping Brooks if we go backwards.

 

[swag_tiger]

We always seem to be active when it comes to mid season acquisitions

 

[Speed2burn]

So you don't attempt to make any changes at all?

I would attempt to fix our Defence first and foremost, you know how we leaked on average 30+ a game last year?

Whose available that would be a better option?

We just need to find a halfback who can score us 31 points a game. Simple.

Our defence must be our primary kpi for this season, Nofoaluma we are looking at you.
