Unfortunately Graham is busted

Unfortunately it hasn’t stopped us before

I disagree with this and have no idea how people cannot comprehend that the club's positive commercial sector confirms the strategic management is sound or adequate.
Rectifying poor media perception, decision making with recruitment & retention and onfield results doesn't actually (usually) fall within the scope of their (the front office) duties but probably highlights that we've lacked a key figure in our governance systems to help deliver all administrative objectives.
Someone capable of bringing all divisions together and assessing, controlling or influencing day to day operations to provide direction.

The fact the only variables/imperatives which have negatively impacted the club relate only to the team - sacked coaches, unable to compete - and it's lasted beyond a decade really demonstrates we've not had sufficient performance management - with our footy operations.
I'd say financial management has taken precedence over the main objective as there's been no one at the club to drive the right change or simply enhance performance on all levels.
But no don't believe we're bad with our governance just performance management.


Hopefully Sheens is the missing piece of the puzzle.

So how much does your Tigers front office job pay? Do you get free fan days with Pascoe as a perk? 🙂 🙂

I go all the way back to the great Dragons sides of the sixties, with Smith as half and a slow but crafty Poppa Clay at 5/8,and the best backline ever eg. Gasnier, Langlands , King , Smith and others to cover for him. As a Tigers supporter we lost many big games we should have won owing to slow halves , other then Bolton and Peter Jones we constantly had slow halves. Look at the great halves, Tommy,Junee,Stewart,Toovey Fulton,Brass,Cronk,Sterling, Kenny,Langer,Lockyer to name just some,that were all part of the great sides. You may get away with one slow half , but not two.! SPEED is crucial all over the field but especially in the halves.

You forgot Steve Mortimer & Garry Hughes.🙂

Justin hasn't been returning my texts today.

Yep I emailed him a month ago & asked him to find a couple of things. Clearly he didnt find them & maybe he just never had them cause im still waiting for a reply.

Lose Brooks and Douhie and go hard for Manu and Burton
1. Manu
2. Nofo
3. To'oa
4. kepoa
5. Ken M
6. Burton
7. Hastings

Yep get rid of two players contracted to us for next year and sign two players contracted elsewhere for next year (both of whom would have little reason for wanting to come to us).
Not sure why the club can't get that done?

I'd love to see Teddy return.

We need him more than he needs us.

But what a fairy tale ending that would be...

"Teddy takes junior club to first final appearance in over a decade."

Frothhhh

Would rather finish last than to have that germ back demps

Been saying that since last season. The bloke has achieved everything in the game coming home and taking us to finals would be his greatest achievement yet. Surely we have the cap to offer him a 3 year deal 1.2 a year

 

[Scorpion]

Yeah mate heard they reached out about a week ago about coming over next season

This would be a good signing 👍👍

 

[Cobarcats]

Hey mate, how come your nick is Scorpion and your avatar is a mudcrab.
I would've made my nick mudcrab, nasty but tasty 🤣
Looks good though 👍

 

[BAGNF05]

Another Mikaele. Next.

Hey everyone I've been a long time follower of the forum I posted a bit a few years ago other than that it's been lots of browsing since then 😂 I have info on Brandon tumeth current contract status the source of this info is very reliable.. and I wouldn't be posting this for no reason if I felt this was not true. So apparently Brandon was all set to extend with us until Brett kimmorlly stepped in and offered his 62k for next year and guaranteed 110k for the year after.. the problem with this is that that amount of 62k is less than what he is on now he's been told to pay his own super aswel ontop of manager fees.. kimmorlly and Brandon have clashed in the past the part I don't understand is why is kimmorlly getting involved with contract discussions isn't that sheens job? His management have said come back with something better by Friday because they have meetings with the raiders and eels next week. His mother and management are ropeable let's hope sheens can smoothe this over or else we are about to loose another good junior due to poor management.

As far as trolls go, that's just pathetic

If he’s offered a first tier contract there’s a league minimum of 110k lol . So what a load of bullshit . No matter what kimmorley offered him , he’s going to be in the 30 man / development player .
So… that’s absolute garbage that story .

Lol, I see that side of the coin too...

But, if it takes us to the finals.. I'd allow it.

Nrl minimum is 110k - for 4 players only.
Development players are 60k

We need a fullback, but I can’t see him coming back.

 

[twentyforty]

Love the way Wests Tigers leak stuff to "Scoop Hoop" and then after he reports it as an exclusive we do the opposite to make Hoop look like Poop.

I wonder how they find the time to play these games?

I would be looking at Charlie Staines for that position, I thought he played well in the national series last week and I think he is ahead of Laurie at this stage. For our forward stocks I also like Keenan Palasia from broncos.

Palasia is great.
Had huge wraps a while back then fell out of favour.

There's potential signings around...
We just have to get the job done.

Then you see Lee and Co. In charge, making the deals harder.
