Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We are all hanging out for a few juicy signings, but most clubs are like us, there is very little action in the market place outside the Dogs and teams re signing existing players.
I guess news will start breaking when eight teams go on holidays in a few weeks

Pascoes in charge.
His approach is sit around & wait...
(For other clubs to have to release players or players wanting fresh starts, forced out, etc.)

As seen with Maumalo, Naden...

Maybe we'll get a few more discards before round one.

You can’t compete for the title without at least one in form game breaker. Sadly there are not many of them in the NRL and some clubs have more than one.
Take the Chooks, they have the best no1, they have close to the best centre in Joey Manu and one of the best front rowers in JWH. On top of that they have the best two kids in the game. You can’t compete with that.

The game will die very quickly if the NRL doesn’t find away to get plenty of movement with teams through the top four. We just can’t afford to see the same teams dominate year after year.

Anyway we are talking NRL, don’t expect anything to happen that might upset a power broker like uncle Nick. It’s sad really because there is every chance that the NRL will do the impossible and kill the chook that laid the golden egg…..that’s the game as we know it

It actually creates more narratives and controversy under the current format. You get the teams people hate, the underdog stories, the rumour and innuendo. It’s probably in the games interest to keep shitting on us. Unfortunately we are playing the laughing stock, or the loveable clown. Not sure what they call us at HQ.

Nowadays Pascoe is taking a back seat in terms of recruitment and retention.
Baton is firmly in Sheens grip and will he live and die on basis on what he brings on board for next 2 years.
 
Well as far as press and TV.
Even though it was the Tigers worst season, I felt there was hardly a day went by without us being talked about, yet we only last week got to the bottom.
But the other teams that were below us for almost the whole season.
Hardly a word was said about any of them, almost all season.
Like we are now in the position everyone wanted us to be in.

Yep, created the stink around the joint so nobody wants to play for us then the old “not my job”card.

That is what Pascoe said to me during a conversation.

"Monitoring the market."

I hope what you say is true, however with no news I assume Sheens is also taking this approach 😂

The position we are in we should have a daily hook up with player managers just in case any players are feeling unloved, need a change of scenery. Pascoe probably just reads Buzz’s column.

Agree..
Look at the Dogs for instances they went out and brought some quality players and might of paid extra for them but this year with all the troubles with coach etc they are 5 spots ahead of us and there club is in a better light. Plus due to this they even got the coach we badly wanted as they were in a better situation then us even with the new COE opening..
Say's something IMO

I know as a club we have been burnt before but to get out of this shit hole position we are in at the bottom you need to BUY a few top players to get you out. Good example is Sharks as well as they brought Dale F and Nicko Hynes and now they are top 3..

I'm not saying go overboard but 11 years and now we are relying on young inexperienced players to get us out. FFS Blind Freddy can see we need leadership and we got that with Hastings but need more so we all know Tigers will let him walk cause that's what we do.. We stuff it up
