Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Cultured_Bogan]

My point as well but that will only be answered from March onward next year.
Any signings made or players lost will be pure speculation until we set foot back on the field.
Until then, I am prepared to give everyone a chance to prove a lot of this years negativity can be reversed.
Regards The Optimist !

Fair play mate, I won't piss on your parade for being optimistic.

I do hope that Sheens can turn it around, but I just don't see how he'll do it. A couple of good buys coming next year (and that's permitting one shows up,) but after that we seem to just be letting players go, which in and of itself isn't bad as the ones going aren't worth persisting with, but we have to replace them with others. Can't just go all chips in on the kids. Not even Penrith did that, they made sure there was older players bringing them through.

Zero that we know of on the list doesn’t necessarily mean we don’t have one.
All will be revealed in good time. The puzzle is a difficult one requiring much thought and attention.

Well not to worry as chairman Lee said after apologises to fans
" we are all taking stock of the situation "
Now I feel better ! LOL

Hacked by Merlot?

Classic.

9 month old grandson.

Already makes more sense than Merlot (jokes mate, you're a good egg.)

Maguire was a big star in the documentary with his words to the players.

Unfortunately the aptitude of the students meant the teachings were very much robin williams preaching in dead poets society rather than mentoring a gifted Will Hunting

Juniors older brother was my bud
Auburn boys, He loved the tigers
and the Tongan connection..
Travesty we let him go, honestly.

Choose the Keebra park highway over the local lane.

That statement is on repeat. Just throws the record on for a spin every September

What do you mean by that Needy?

Who wouldn't accept 9th this year? It is a mute-point now but you're not exactly starting from a lofty height with Maguire.

* moot point

 

[Stevec]

Recruitment difficulties of course coming last with a diabolical defence doesn't help but what I would like to get to bottom of is this
When Mick Potter first arrived at the Tigers he said 2 things
- Its not like any club he has ever seen before
- its a Political Hotbed
Potter strikes me as a reasonable man so what did he mean ? and is this atmosphere at the core of our problems . What do our CEO and chairman feel about this ?

What's new with the Serbian Sultan?

Two props in 20s, both really were standouts but I thought Tatola had the more promise as JJ Felise was more consistent. I really don’t know why but one was signed to a first grade contract the other was let go. And a couple of years later a possible replacement prop in Paseka was not valued whilst Mikalee was promoted.

Haha, love it.. Just surviving bro
Hope you and the fam are well..

I know you're fed up, next year will
Be better my good man, has 2 B!

None of us really know the what and how of the coaching staff next year , but that’s the exciting part , imagine if they start to gets things better/ right. And do we have to know ?
I’m not going to try and second guess it !
let’s face it, things have been so bad for so long, the law of averages alone says some things must improve. Maybe we can then replace the nine word with an eight !!!!!

Until then …. We wait.

Yeah tribe is good mate.

Hope so. Don't think I'll hang on much longer. It's pretty grim already lad.

Our CEO seeked out the Mockumentary.
Magurie wanted nothing to do with it.

Madge consented too.

His words wanted to show how good the club is 😆

Ah I got you now @Needaname.
Didn't turn out great did it, JJ was
Rated higher you're right about
The consistency part...Jnr was
Promising but didn't fill out, and
Maybe show that commitment
To his body/training but was a
Talented league player for sure.

Wanted to play under uncle Wayne.
We lost him, then Paseka shortly
After and kept Mikaele. Sliding
Doors moment man, he's done
Really well at Souths good on him

 

[tony soprano]

So the club just roll them out in perpetuity when they need a PR win? [This word has been automatically removed] me they need to stop living off those three seasons.

They tried that failed miserably.

Remember Potter, Taylor, cleary Maguire?

Williams was challenging his students to not accept the status quo and think of the subject in a very different way.
Sounds like the Walker Bros coaching style !
