Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Jedi_Tiger]

I don't think Brown has played on an edge since he was at Souths, and even then it was limited. He is a lock only.

he better get used to playing an an edge because Hastings has lock covered

HAHA!! - He'll come on at Prop (You know this right)
We need a few more in-effective middles up front.

That's why I'm not sold on signing him. If Hastings signs elsewhere I get it. Brown on a 2 year deal while Matamua and Faagatu develop. But if Hastings stays, then I don't see the need to sign someone who only plays lock.

Preston Riki - panthers . Thumbs up from me.

 

[tiger_one]

Are we there yet?

And who would you have selected?

They actually selected Craig Bellamy at the start, but he declined. You can only choose from the candidates available to you.

Wayne Bennett agreed to join Tigers but would not leave prior to seeing out his Broncos contract, and we needed a new coach that following season.

Assuming Taylor and Potter are the "bad" coaches since Sheens, I am not certain who the alternative candidates were at the time. Potter did alright with the Bulldogs 2022. Our next selection Cleary is about to win his second premiership in a row. Madge has won a premiership before.

Slim pickings otherwise I think.

That's not an apologist position either, it's just a consideration of each decision as it was made at each point in time.

Dopes shouldn't of sacked sheens then.

I agree and, while I think a great coach is vital, I think a lot beyond the coach within a club makes a coach successful. Our club has been poorly administrated for a while. I think Sheens won in 2005 despite club management.

How about we all move on from past coaches and decisions made or open a coaches tread to discuss until your hearts content..
Its getting boring now folks

We all want to same thing now and that's to start been competitive and moving up the ladder regardless who is coach..

I hope we are in talks with N Brown or Liam Martin as we clearly lack some mongrel and go forward. Happy with the swap for Stains over Peachey if true as Peachey add nothing to us.

To be fair we also had a good crack 2 other seasons outside of 05.
Sheens just knew how to manage the administration TBH.
Benji started his early interviews around how much of a focus will be on managing the administration. I don't think any of the other coaches had any idea about this.

He's limping

Rehab program consisting of regular scooter tricks should have him ready for nxt season.

 

[Tim Sheens]

All this Munster and Moses talk makes me laugh. I can't see either of them coming to WT ever.
Haven't they learnt from the Lattrell saga.

Papali'i and Koroisau are saying hi, so on that basis alone, I would state that the club must have learnt something.

Spencer leienu… for love of god give his manager a call

 

[Camel2281]

Staines is better than what we have. Kurt Falls over Brooks. Leinu is a weapon

Kurt Falls over Brooks? If ever I have seen hate cloud judgement it is this.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Leinu's stocks will skyrocket after tonight.

 

[Camel2281]

Mate. I think Kurt Falls won more NRL games this season than Brooks

 

[Camel2281]

Total class again by yourself, doin your family proud!
Info played great for the drizzle at the end of the year, hardly a defensive error! Me thinks he had good reason to bag his inside men! Thanks

He actually did do well for Melbourne. Might be a case that he listened to some decent coaching

So which is it did Brooks steal your car, wallet or girlfriend?

 

[finnzo]

Issiah is officially a tiger welcome mate

He's been a constant failure for the team I love for a decade whilst stealing massive wages whilst not producing the efforts required of an NRL halfback
