Funny you say that,I'm use to that too.
His demeanor seems changed in the last week or so to me on 360. Could be a leverage
situation though.

I’d hazard a guess the Tigers monetary offer is not to be sneezed at but when he looks at it from a best career path standpoint it’s probably a no brainer to go to the Dolphins who will get NRL favours in their infancy. It’s also where his partner wants to live. We need to be looking at the Payne Haas’s and Joseph Suuaalii’s of the world.

Such a critical time that I often think back on.

I remember it was early morning and I was in England when the news broke. Remember thinking that’s another 5 years of misery.

We were fielding a Reserve Grade side for the last 6-8 weeks....and it wasnt even to benefit 2023?
Remember "next year we'll improve", we are the Wooden Spooners and now we're basically saying "year after next". The Board and CEO Fiasco have done a number on this Club.
Patient??? Is there any supporter of this Club who hasn't been, with the garbage we get dished up every year.

The joke CEO probably strips the club of 5-10 grand every week ( maybe more) in his wages and for what?

I think we’ve fielded a reserve grade side for 2 seasons

If there was promotion and relegation we’d probably be playing in the Tasmanian Super league.

A Sheens strategy! Good mates with the author Tony Adams. Probably told him not to mention the Tigers because we are seriously in the hunt. Usually players mentioned that we are into, we are not or part of a bigger strategy. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole Moses thing is deflecting that we are really after Dylan Brown.

I hope you’re correct.

Nathan had no interest in coming here and Ivan knew it. As soon as the opportunity rose he jumped.

Ivan had no interest in having his son play for us, I reckon.

You wouldn’t bring in Munster for the money we would have to offer to get him to come to us as a Fullback. You would have him in the halves to play a more hands on position to get the value you paid him for.

For mine a fullback can be even more important to a team then the 5/8. Especially for us.

Fullback can determine the defence for the whole side.
Can be involved in any play.
Can be utilised in kick returns and be in broken field play more often,
Can set up line breaks or tries.
Can be available in the middle of the ruck.

Basically Munster at fullback could be a cross between Dylan Edwards and James Tedesco. I was very impressed with his performance in the back end of the season with Melbourne. Mind you he was outstanding all year.

1 Munster
6 Laurie
7 Moses

14 Brooks

Make it happen.


Lol - do you want them to come out and declare their interest publicly?

1. Munster
6. Brooks
7. Moses
9. Api

that should be the spine

Potentially this...or I reckon it is his manager trying to get clubs who might be in the hunt to increase $$$ for him.
Totally agree though, we are usually getting played in these stories for the main target to get what they want. I might even feel more confident without our name being mentioned haha

If Munster wanted to line up at prop for us in order to get his signature...we do it. Seriously though, I agree with you and he looked just as good, if not more dangerous in the fullback position.

In a perfect world I would like

1. Munster

6. Brooks

7. Moses

9. Api

13. Joffa

Happy to lose Hastings, Douhie and Laurie

That too.

probably over generous, some would claim that we fielded a reserve grade for the last 7-8 years!

 

[hank37w]

Well if that happened it would just be unbelievable how so many people would be blowing up and claiming it was a howler.

To call it a howler just because it decided the outcome of the biggest game of the year.

I now read that we have hit a roadblock with signing Laurie. One year extensions seems a bit thin but maybe Sheens and Co know something that we don’t !

I find it very very interesting he has been offered only a 1yr extension.
2yr extension he becomes apart of Benji's squad.
Makes it very clear he isn't viewed as the longterm fullback for the club.

The club is not sold on Laurie being our fullback, thus the 1 year extension to further prove himself

 

[tigerap]

It’s very clear Benji doesn’t want to inherit a dud squad…he will find though attracting great players is impossible
