Tigers aren’t good at winning….

My money is on Hastings leaving.

Question is what position sheens sees him as

I'm not fussed on any one of our players leaving.


Offa has been the only consistent player. The rest have showed stuff all.

They should be begging us for a contract. No one else would want them

 

[weststigerman]

They're not having Nanai or Suali levels of impact - At any level....
We still need plenty of Quality to surround them with...
I'll say it again....
KIDS WILL NOT DO IT ON THEIR OWN!!

We've been through 10 years of leaving Kids in charge, It hasn't and doesn't work
For us - Or them.

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.

We were on the right track with Hastings followed by Papali'i and Api coming, but the mid season drama has put us back to square one where we are resorting to re-signing players that no one wants.

I HATE THE PARRAMATTA MONKEYS FC, I hope they rust .

And that gives you the right and make up utter bullshit and sprout it around like it's gospel?

You got some growing up to do.

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.

You've done this?

No, but if I was signed up to a top 30 contract I probably would after a training session.

 

[hank37w]

Except for the crazy bull sharks.

Great way to deal with those unwanted contracts.

 

[tony soprano]

U see rowers in there

Except for the crazy bull sharks

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

Even offa was shirt grabbing at times last game.

Most of the dogs signings have been undesirables.

Like Burton ,AddoCarr , Tevita Pangai , Kikau , ?

 

[Stevec]

One thing I'll say for madge is the only great signings we have done in last 18 months is Hastings,Papalii and Api all 3 under his regime

 

[tony soprano]

Burton unproven qt 6, JAC winger, TPj inconsistent

Kikau 👍

 

[Cobarcats]

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 😉

 

[Stevec]

Thank God for Newcastle because the NRL360 assassins have turned on the knights this week instead of us

 

[weststigers]

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.

Who wants a lunch with Sheens; ask him directly.....

Christ he’s looking older already and he hasn’t even coached a game yet

 

[coivtny]

U see rowers in there

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.
