Pretty much as expected result yesterday. Tigers were switched off after a strong showing last week and the Knights were revved up after copping it in the news all week.
While the first half made for remote throwing veiwing, you have to be heartened by the fact that the competed until the end with such a huge injury list. The writing is on the wall that this season is over, but we are in 10x better position coming into 23 than we were to start this year.
I hope they blood a few more juniors and we guys like Doueihi, AJ, Laurie and Pole get some valuable miles under their belts, because wins are clearly not the focus for the remainder of the year...

10 times better you say?
Can you quantify that somehow?
I think as it currently stands, we will remain cannon fodder next year.

Was an exaggeration, but I feel there a fewer question marks around team selection generally, hooker and centre appear to be resolved. The prop rotation looks far better with the addition of Pole. We have some depth in the backs and the halves. 2nd row is still an issue but we have a bone fide star in IP.
There's still stuff to iron out but you can tell this season is ending with some positives on field. The results aren't coming but there's some direction and a sense of belief. We will be competitive next year I have no doubt

Why would you announce anything until people are signed? That's asking for trouble.
I'm happy to test Madden for the remainder of the season.

I'm happy with that too.
Sheens knows how to satisfy the media when he has to.
Look how many interviews he did post madge sacking.
With how poor the club will end the season he needs to a media run to paint a picture for next season

The worst thing we could do right now is resign brooks I'm not saying he is a bad player bit we need some change

He's a good little (rather large for a half actually) footballer I reckon. Maybe a bit inconsistent.

Apologies if this has been posted before. A list of what the DT considers are the best U15 players in Australia. There are a few WTs including Alex Isdale and Ali Karnib who are noted as Eels but are now WTs, Lots of the Qld players are affiliated with the Dolphins. It seems we are doing pretty well with the identification and retention of young players.

He's come to the right place then
I'd rather get a new half than either Brooks or Madden

Correct. I would be waiting till about round 10 next year to make a call. Unless another club wants him for next year. He is a ok half but he does need a change to get his career going. I would offer Madden a 2 year extension On low money.
Folks the whole year has been a dead set stinker, all round. A few rounds of terds still to be dished up by us, unfortunately 2023 can’t come quick enough.
Shithouse seeing us tigers supporters argue amongst ourselves on keyboards about brooks. Hopefully in the off season himself and the board do whatever is best for both parties.
Personally, I believe we need a centre specialist and 2 x second rowers.
Solomona faataape - easts tigers in Qld cup.(mariner I think will be a barn burner, we are now chance.
Preston Riki - panthers
TC Robati- broncos
The rest what is available is pretty ordinary.
Our year on and off the field in 2022 is a hard sell to anybody.

I think Junior Tupou has the potential to become a very good centre if given the opportunity.
