Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It almost feels like we won't be any closer to achieving a level of success next year and beyond, than the incoming Dolphins. Says alot about how we have been managed and the state of the NRL.

What is this thing lots of you members have about Tim Sheens Age, He is 71, Wayne Bennett is 72, does this make them stupid, after all they dont have to play the game, they only need to know how its played, and these guys know the ins and outs of the game as they both played it in there younger days, if they gave you the job how do you think you would handle it,
And how old are you.

Agreed Spicey!

NRL360 last night said tigers need to build from scratch like the dolphins
Kent then said but the Dolphins don't have a stench
Anasta then said yes the tigers need to get rid of that stench

It's just media dribble. Who here is on the coaching staff or one of the players ?

Facts matter. BS opinions are BS.

Plus it's a complete new team next year.

It just keeps getting worse

 

[851]

Is he older than Timmy?

No he isn't

 

[Demps]

I'd HARD pass on Fifita.
He's cooked.

 

[851]

Yep, I don't think Noffa or GIldart are in next years plans. And going by what he said looks we will be waiting till November for any external signings. So along couple of months ahead before anything to get excited about.

Nofa is clearly better than any wingers we currently have, Naden is a centre and should play there

 

[Stevec]

Fifita Woods please no more guys close to the end of their careers we've signed guys like this in the past and all were dud signings .We are not a semi retirement home

Like we have options

 

[Dennisspicer1]

No he isn't

Are you talking about Tim 71 And Bennett 72.

 

[Demps]

Like we have options

Remember the last aging injury prone props we signed and how that worked out for us ?

Packer and Matulino?

No thanks to Fifita.

 

[Hmm]

To be fair to Fifita he was very good on the weekend and if he wants a year for the right price we could do worse than have a player like him coming off the bench.

Better than Dias and Simpkins

You are missing or deliberately avoiding one of the main issues that i raised,it is not just the fact he is 71 it is the fact he has not coached in the NRL for a DECADE.
No club wanted Sheens when we sacked him as a coach and after he coached in the UK and was sacked there on 2 occasions nobody wanted him there either.
For the record since you asked i am 69 years of age and have followed football since unlimited tackle back in the dragon's era of 11 consecutive premierships what about you?

 

[supercoach]

Do you mean we've offered up players on contract like Peachey, Liddle, Simpkin or that we are seeing who is available?

No Iam talking about players coming rather than going but I would imagine the Peach and a few others will be a hard sell

 

[Demps]

Better than Dias and Simpkins

I know we suck...

Prefer we'd aim a little higher though.

 

[supercoach]

Given we are starting a new era (coaching, facilities, culture etc), I'd be identifying experienced players looking for a fresh start for whatever reason (i.e. current club has issues, player returning from injury, player with point to prove).

These players must exude professionalism in all aspects (training, game prep, values etc). Sheens did it before with the likes of Scott Sattler, Mick Buettner, Paul Whatuira, Shane Elford, Brett Hodgson, Scott Prince, Pat Richards.

I think at present they are looking at anyone who might be of NRL standard or is deemed to have potential and have come up with a big duck egg
