who shall we buy for halfback?

[stryker 69]

Players of that caliber make other players better man, we get an extra xtra 5% out of the players we have - its not enough… but it’s something.

It won’t happen here.

 

[BAGNF05]

I agree but we need to get better replacements. JH and Ad won’t save us or take us to the next level.
I say we are about 6 players on top of Api and Paps away from being a threat.
We need speed. Genuine speed. We made a break and not one of our backs could catch a stumpy legged madden and get them selves in a position to receive pass.

100% mate that sums up where we are at. We are creating chances this year we just don’t have finishers.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Our defence has improved a lot this year in my opinion. I think we are torn between playing Madge ball (high percentage) and expansive (Wests Tigers ball) and we don’t have the cattle to do either. The result is a clunky hunk of junk.

Wests Tigers ball is gone. It died out when Sheens left. It was pretty cool looking back how every team in the comp was wary of us and the points we could put on, even if we didn’t always have success. We at least had some amount of respect.

Answer = Hastings

It died when we went full plod mode in the forwards.

I hope so but both are as slow as a wet week.

Halfs don't need pace if they're quick between the ears. Johns, Langer, Cliffy Lyons, Ricky Stuart were all really slow.

 

[hobbo1]

Halfbacks need soft hands.
Know anyone?

Yeah but he’s another eshay

 

[Camel2281]

7 Madden
6 Brooks
13 Hastings
3 Douhie
Find a fullback

7 Hastings

He’s not a halfback. Way too slow.

You forgot Sterling who was as slow as could be but was by far the best half of his time

Are you really going to compare the speed of the game and players to that of the game and players 40 (forty) years ago…

Really?

Really?

Speed is only part of the skill set that a half needs.I have no doubts that with the same conditioning that he would get he would still be in the top echelon of halves today as would his partner Kenny

 

[BAGNF05]

If he does get his release the best available are probably Sean O’Sullivan or Lachlan Lam. Hello darkness my old friend..

 

[rihannafan1]

And Talau wasn’t even here. Look what we have to look forward to

Defo wasn't the hands. Simpkin and Brooks' game management in the last 10 was deadset awful.

 

[rihannafan1]

Before buying anyone we replace the coach. The right coach will make a significant, almost immediate difference.

 

[BROOKSMUSTGO]

I would play just about anybody. Try something new Brooks is too stupid as a play maker .. not even Jesus Christ could coach this guy and he is a miracle worker…put the guy in reserve grade for next 2 years all us loyal Tiger fans will rejoice….Coach is not problem at this club it’s brittle spirits that complain when coach gets upset with them …..Do us all a huge favour
I bet this bloke could not find overlap if they sin bin 5 players.

I respectfully disagree with this, rather strongly tbh. A new coach isn’t going to come in and flick some magical switch. It’s going to take more than moving one or two individuals on for this club to go further.

Sure. Thanks. Sadly, I think we'll find out quite soon.

Looking at our draw over the next few weeks, I’m not going to say you wrong.

 

[Needaname]

I’d love us to sign Ben Hunt. We have a bit of coin we could even Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon St George’s 1.2 mil contract.
Let’s make it 1.5 mil.
I’m just really curious to see how a rep half would go at the Tigers and whether he’d even remain a rep half…
