And getting suspended for spear tackles and getting injured. He went okay but I’m not ready to call him our saviour.

Not calling him a saviour just that he's already here on market value wage and plays that position better than Brooks who letting him leave early gives us an extra $800k or so to invest across the squad. Short term win

It’s only 50 percent of the job. We still have to spend the cap regardless of quality options available.

if Tim unloaded Liddle and Musgrove on full freight as rumours suggest,its the smartest thing this club has done in a long time

Fair call provided we upgrade with the $ free’d up. Will believe it when it happens.

We have been releasing the right players for years. Jennings, Eisenhuth, McIntyre, Mbye, Reynolds, Marsters etc etc. our problem comes with getting better players in the door. We got 2. We need a lot more.

100%. I don’t get thrills out of watching our juniors win major trophies and captain their country if they’re playing elsewhere.

Top 8 next year? Haha.

Maybe 2025.

you can see how it will go Brooks nails a field goal to send Newcastle into the semis at tigers expense
Karma and footy gods
Just about every player who has left tigers has kicked on

Woods. Mbye. Sue. Seumanafagai. Ayshford. Lui. Gavet. Reynolds. Te Mare Martin. Groat. Aloiai. Lolohea. Cini. Billy Walters. Robert Jennings. Marshall-King. Bayley Sironen. Marsters. Chee-Kam. Buchanan. Yeah man everyone we release comes back to bite us for sure.

All good to offload players, what we desperatly need are better replacements, we need some signing news. Hopefully once the world cup is over the club will make a few announcements.

We can agree on that. Need to get better at picking them so we don’t need to punt them shortly thereafter

Lot of unrest at Manly with Dessie sacking let’s go for Turbo, honestly the kids a star and would love to see him in a Tim sheens coached side

 

[Merlot]

Jake is the forward leader we lack and if Tom could stay fit he’s a top 5 player in the Comp. Mortgage the ranch to get them.

And was winning prestigious awards at the time. How were his forwards?

Won one sham award. 🤣

NRL rookie of the year and NRL halfback of the year. Also played in two semi final qualifiers at Leichhardt. Which we kooked. People forget we weren’t always horrendous during his tenure.

 

[Merlot]

im not racist/hope the little fella goes well in Newcastle-talk about playing under pressure,he is a masochist -good luck

That’s the big question with Tom. How much are you prepared to pay a guy who averages something like 12 games a year?

IMO he may be the best player in the game when fit, but that’s no good to you when he’s in the grandstand half the time.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Don’t make me list the thousand other superstars Pascoe never managed to replace.

Pascoe isn’t in charge of recruitment decisions…

Remind me how many semi finals he got the top squad to?
While your’re also bagging Hastings for getting seriously injured you might remember your little mate had a minor injury himself and took a holiday for the rest of the year.

Durability is an issue. Get him in your colours and you attract other quality players. I’m a gambler.

I’ll never forget his ask the boss with Ivan mate. After losing the big three. He promised fans he would go hard in the player market and subsequently signed Packer, Matulino, Mbye and Reynolds. 7 years of misery followed. Don’t tell me he keeps his head out of recruiting. He also boasts about every signature we get.
