Mmmm yes. Does anyone else on here think Paul Kent is just an angry little man? God! Is he married? Imagine putting up with that xxxxhead.

You do understand Jason Bateman is "Teen Wolf Too" yeah?
Or better known as Mallorys' brother..

John Bateman, However - plays a bit of Rugby League....

Man she was a good sort😍
Unfortunately she hasn't aged well unlike all of us.

Likes to have the last say on everything , Hooper needs to lean over and pop one on his fat head , he’s a reserve grade ex footy player telling every one how it should be , and he loves giving it to the tigers , wheres mark Geyer when you need him , maybe we bring him in as assistant and to chase Kent down

If the reports about the Turbos being unhappy at Manly are even somewhat true we should try and offer them an out. $2.5 mill for the three of them. Give Jake the captaincy.

Then go all in on family groups. Get both Butchers from Easts. Get the Walker brothers to coach with young Sam Walker at 7. Morris brothers to run the water and be trainers. Saifiti twins to top it off

Do you rate him Tony?

Over last few seasons I watched bit of ESL with Bateman playing. Was not impressed. Not sure he is anymore the player he was at the Raiders. .

Paul Kent "quit" the MMM footy coverage and their ratings went through the roof (by their standards) - I'm sure it was just coincidence

 

[momo_amp_medo]

Only option is a sale.

Only answer is improved roster and a decent coach that can effectively communicate with the players.

This sale rubbish is just that …. rubbish.

Yes, but hard to defend the club after Sunday.

Trouble is they have airtight long term contracts and Manly owners would get crucified over if they let them loose.

Manly and past Newcastle happy campers episodes shows what happens when you let private owners in the door.

I am all in favour of getting good forwards from the ESL but i completely agree with you Bateman is not one i would even consider.He would want far more money than he is worth and he has been the living definition of a "Pommie Plodder" since he returned there,to be perfectly honest Mikaele would be a better buy than him and i am not suggesting we get Mikaele either.
Bateman's form has diasappeared as quickly as the english sun in winter

 

[Tcat]

the sad truth is currently no one wants to stay at or come to the Tigers.

Can't really blame them. The place is losertown and it will hard to shake the terrible vibe the club has.

Bring in the Gallagher brother too. Maybe they can be our Superleague scouts. ✌️

In relation to the rumoured signing of Charlie Staines.

One thing this adds is speed to the backline- something we don't really have. Naden is pretty quick, but more in a 'long strider' kind of way. Additionally, I think he's a better centre than winger. Nofa & Maumalo are not 'quick'. Talau, Kepaoa & To'a are not 'quick'. So having a winger with genuine speed helps.

He also is the obvious back-up at fullback as well- so dual purpose.

This leaves are options at centre as Naden, Talau, Kepaoa, To'a, Junior Tupou, Triston Reilly & potentially....Doueihi. If Sheens can't find a combination out of those guys, he's not trying hard enough. Naden & Talau for mine.

What the addition of Staines does is give depth & options so that the 'answer' isn't Starford To'a who was forced into more 1st grade than he was probably ready for.

Wingers- Staines, Nofa, Maumalo- Kepaoa/To'a/Tupou/Naden (options)
Centres- Naden, Talau, Kepaoa, To'a, Tupou, Reilly- Doueihi (option)

This additionally allows the Fullback position to read:

Laurie/Staines/To'a/Camroux

Anything that moves To'a down one rung on the ladder means strengthening of the overall squad.

Staines would be a useful-good signing if this goes ahead.
