Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Lauren]

It's the only way to build success in this competition.
Bring your own kids though, and recruit the best teenagers to accompany them, and turn them into first graders.
By all means we'll have to purchase ready made FGers as well, but unless we can create our own footballers we're going nowhere.
Build the foundations from within, and then use that to cherry pick the more elite talent.

Wouldn't Farah, Gibbs, Fulton, Fifita etc be considered as successfully developed (NRL standard) players? I'm sure there's a few others I can't quite think of.
But it looked like it was the ability to place a blend/balance of players around them that enhanced it - workhorse types and some X factor.
Woods, Tedesco and Farah made origin so it wouldn't seem we were a complete failure with developing players. It shows we helped some players reach their potential.

Believe it was our inadequacy with our succession planning that let us down, in particular the ineffective roster management.

Won't be able to read this then😉

Whoops, i must have been Talking about someone else...

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Yes

All everyone on here talks about is the spine when it the forwards that matter. Without them it doesn't matter who we keep the halves

100%. We have halves who would be successful elsewhere and that’s evident by the other clubs who have shown interest. Our forwards have been marshmallows for years. Look at the middles and back rowers for the sides still alive.

If its true about Nu Brown going to the dogs for less money is true !
Wow what it says is that our recruitment and retention problem is that it is SERIOUS .I've talked many times about this but get the feeling that the powers that be are in a state of denial
Since we signed Api and Isaiah last year we have signed Naden who was on the outer due to cap pressure .
Lots of talk about possible deals /swaps but I think everyone is wary of coming to concord so much for the fancy gym .
Please address the big issues change the image . Maybe we have to somehow land a couple of big names by paying substantial overs and hope that will give some critical mass to attract others

I heard third hand today that a WT sponsor was working on a mega TPA for Munster. I can't vouch for the original source but the bloke who told me is in the know. Anyway, he reckons we'll know by Wednesday so I guess we don't have to wait too long to see if it's BS.

"If" that's true, that is the 1st time I've heard good news about WT and 3rd party possibilities.

Oh yes cant wait for PlayBet to offer Munster better odds on betting tigers games 😂

 

[Pascoes_barber]

There just has to be more player movement within our squad.

Only bowel movements until November 1.

Or Boomer Homeloans. Another of our household name sponsors.

I thought we could talk to players but not offer money etc ??
I don't care how we do it as long as we do it and join the others that clearly cheat the system.
That would be massive IMO if somehow sheen's pulled this off

Personally I’m trying to wrap my ahead around whether Munster is worth it or not.
Sure he plays heads up footy which Sheens loves but I keep thinking is it the Storm players and systems allow him to do that.
When you think about Hughes, Harry, Cheese, Olem and co and their ability to compress an opposition defence, does that enable Munster to do his thing.
We certainly don’t have the players, at present, to provide a platform that enables him to strike when an opportunity arises.
Or is he a guy who can do that on his own, wherever he plays.
Just some uncertainty from me !

Can a WT sponsor give a third party ?

Well know by Wednesday if Munster accepts? Or well know by Wednesday if an offer was made?

 

[loklok]

Munster is a class player

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Hope Sheens pulls it through

I can't decide either. One season off the drink and we could throw big overs at him. I just feel the risk may be too high. Can we trust he will maintain this commitment? IMO he had a great year, but he didn't sustain it. He finished only ok. I'm not willing to pay 1.2-1.5m for ok, he needs to play like he did for the first 20 weeks all the time for that money.
