Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Agree. We had Brooks, Moses and Tedesco all come through at the same time and we still couldn't make the 8. The juniors line is just to take the focus off the inability to sign players.
Sue, Lovett, Sironen, Simona, Lodge... Even Woods was still a kid at that time....
There was a long line of them....
Paid them all top dollar - Couple random old heads at the end of their days - zero leaders
= 10 years of misery.
 
I see the msdge debate still going on ?
This is what I think Madge is a truly great guy its just that he was a unsuccessful great guy at wests tigers .
Whether the new regime will do any better? Not with the current roster but where there life there's hope .
I know they have a tough job trying to recruit top level players to a destination with the image problem we have
 
Like Burton ,AddoCarr , Tevita Pangai , Kikau , ?
Just that list alone you would think they couldn't hang onto Thompson. His highlights reel look impressive but he's failed to live up to that hype at the dogs.
Do you think him coming here to a well oiled machine would have him shine again 😉
 
We've seen that - It doesn't work.....
We had the best at it There's ever been.....
It doesn't work... He didn't work.

I want to win.
He didn't win then with that crap, He won't win with it now...

He won't buy back rowers - He won't buy centres (Like he didn't back then)
and we'll all go round again, Living off one great year and 2 OK ones....

Anyone who thinks he's set to repeat his miracle 05 run is set for heartbreak...
He's already eluded to the fact that we couldn't and still can't defend - And he doesn't seem focused on it now with his "We've gotta score some points"

The game is twice as fast as it was back then - And Sheens is twice as slow...
I think the Cowboys and Brisbane are showing that it does work.

Would you be upset if it worked for us too?

What image problem do we have?
I thought we simply had a stuff up problem?
We need to find a way to keep them to a minimum.
Likewise on the field.
 
And the bull sharks have been known to have a nip at the back of the scull to see if it's tasty. I shudder to think how many bull sharks there'd be up and down the Parramatta River.
I remember a doco saying there's lots in the harbour not sure how far they'd go down parra river.

I grew up on tennyson point and me and my mates used to swim in the river but I stopped the day I swam past a half a dog .In those days the homebush Abbotoirs further up river attracted a huge number of bull sharks

Really.....
Cows have let in 329 points (2nd in Points against) - 2nd on the Ladder
Broncos have let in 415 Points (6th in Points against) - 5th on the Ladder
Panthers have let in 258

You ever heard the term "Defence wins Premierships"?
What about - "Get your defence right, And the attack will come off the back of it"
- I didn't invent them, They do however, Exist for a reason....
Invented by blokes who know more about the game than you and I.

There's years of Stats to tell you being able to score points doesn't mean you'll win games or comps... I noticed that watching the Tigers over the years, If you look passed the highlight reels
You'll see it as well.

AND If you need anything further, The Panthers are leading the comp by a long way....
Despite having scored less points than other teams in the comp.
And yep - You guessed it.... The let in less.

Imagine that!!
