I reckon You are correct @Jedi_Tiger
Even though he had apparently shown a load of potential, I feel he is another example of a desperation purchase..... as there was no one available that was better at the time.

Who is the luckiest Player in the NRL? .. Paul Momorovski: Rooster GF Squad winner - Sadly an also ran at the Tigers - Melbourne Storm GF Squad Winner - GF Winner at The Pammfers! Now in Rooster Finals bound Squad. Wasn't Momo a swap to get Daine earlier? Desperate swap!

Luai is a cat.

Getting carried through to origin cos he's Nates right hand.

Luau thinks he is a gangster from the Bronx’s. Has talent, but attitude and iQ will prevent him from being a great

 

[supercoach]

Our wingers are decent but they are slow. Staines might be able to make it as a fullback as well.

Staines is a one trick Ponny, he can run like the wind..but that’s where it end. Edwards on the other hand is a real competitor, not the best no1 in the comp, but you know you will get effort

Cleary makes him look good.

His dad (Jerome's) thought he was a gangster too.
Until things got too hot.

I firmly believe our only goal this year should be to fully prep for 2023 by both, smart signings and smart selections. If that means prepping Madden to be our seven or blooding some younger forwards to replace Luch and Kelma then so be it. The dogs didn’t do this last year when they knew recruits were coming. They should have sorted out their halfback and gave guys time last year. Now they are in the exact same position of 3 halfbacks in 5 games. We need to to prep for the future and give our incoming signings some good stability around them.

Agree that we should use this year as prep for future …. But …. I disagree because I have seen nothing that we have currently apart about 22 players on our top 30 roster that is anywhere near NRL standard.
…… and even that’s being generous. Believe what you will but I can’t see anything too positive.
My only hope is that for 2023 we snag some quality and experience Over and above to what we signed already. Only that will bring us some success next year.

Scott Drinkwater - Ball playing Fullback.
Herbie Farnsworth - running style fullback

Either is better than Laurie.

i vote drinkwater.

David Riccio on SEN today saying the Tigers should be looking to hang onto some of their red-hot talent 😂😂😂😂

Which is exactly why Brooks should start playing hooker in the next few weeks. Think he'd make a much better hooker than halfback. It will make it easier to choose when to run, and won't have to think as much about passing or kicking

For sure mate, agree with all of that. Don't think Brooks would be too happy to play hooker though, even though it's be a great move for him. Defensively he is up to it. Would love to see it happen and him be happy to give it a genuine crack.

With Api here next year I take it you don't want Brooks? Or are you just thinking about this year. I'm a bit confused because I said the same things as you until I though about someone's post about Api.

Anyone who refers to themselves as gangster, OG etc is pathetic.

Ridiculous we get a hammering every day a the likes of Brisbane, dogs and St George get told they are doing a good job. Nrl front office not much better

We get hammered. YES.
The game however. I think it's good, I think it is entertaining and I think Players are going to burn out or break down.

I love the WT, but were not the NRL. Except for our munchkins in Laurie and Oliver G (ok and Liddle) we are not made for the current game. Our forward pack is very big, but it's not very mobile. We cannot defend and have not adapted to the change in pace and tactics (unlike Melbourne who have geared their team around the change).

Our current team isn't really suited to the fast restarts and quick movements. Tigers 05 and 2011 would be, Put Richards, Benji, Farah and particularly Liam Fulton and Chris H you would have a team that would be better suited to the current game. Were just Big, lethargic and not adapted to the rule change.

I love the rule change, can totally hear players saying it is too fast and they are physically breaking. I would keep changing and go for 5m back instead of 10m because of this and because of the brain damage.

What would be our hooker count then?
Brooks, Api, Liddle, Simpkin, Rui oh and Tannious!

Are we trying to beat Jason Taylors record of most hookers in a team?

Had to delete my own post 🤣
The club's faith in Simpkin's resigning means what??

Interesting take, it's evident they are a poorly coached side.
