Bring Danks with him. We need it.
A better player, I agree....
JT was one of those unorthodox halves, Could play 6 or 7...
But was more of an on ball 6 for mine.
Always remember Gus saying in commentary one time, You could tie his bootlace to the ball he's only ever that far from it.
Cronk was more of a game managing halfback for mine - JT was just 1000% effort.

Both legendary players, what we would do for a superstar like that to build the team around. In a magic land the Tigers have just signed a new coach who has announced that he has signed Munster, that would be awesome.
I'd just like a balanced roster with good replacements for what were losing.

Agreed, it's a bit of a worry that our second row stocks havnt been topped up yet, as far as I know Demps, maybe they have a few signings other than papalii they havnt announced yet, maybe going to elevate some of our cubs to grade next year.
Risky business.
I'm worried eh...
5 of our starting 17 will be gone...
(Mikaele, Garner, Kelma, Luc & Tamou)
And we've added iPaps as a replacement.

I know we're looking thin Demps, maybe they're going to just stay in house, we should have heaps to spend in the cap though
All FG experienced players...
Replaced by... Pole and OKane?
Never played grade.
Risky business.

Get the coach sorted and grab Matterson, Brown and Chrichton. Spend big.

Maybe a 5 hour degustation at the local Major's Bay Road Pizzaria after the Virtual tour of The COE?
I don't think Matterson is a realistic option.
Brown obviously a possibility.
Need to sign a few somebodies.

Why not Matto? Madge was apparently the problem
I think he hates the tigers.
Eels are meeting his demands.
He can stay with those losers.

Totally agree, I reckon from how Sheens was talking about development players, mate next year is going to be a bludger of a year, I'm sweating that api, Hastings, Brooks, douhi and papalii can lead the guys around or were going to get pumped more games than not.

Get the right coach and we can get 3 or 4 good signings

Very true, I forgot that, good point, we have the cash and a few decent tradesman like players is all it would take, they would be great for generation next, what I would give for a heighington at the Tigers.
That's a really solid core....
However they definitely need some talent around em too.
Need a few more signings to really make a impact in the comp.
Hopefully the off season we see good movement.

Just said to Gallagher he said a good coach could attract a few players, all we would really need would be 3 tradesmen type players to do the dirty work and lead by example, think what that group could do with 3 blokes of different positions with heinghintons attitude and work ethic.
