It will be interesting what unfolds.
Main thing is that I hope he is fine and looks after himself.
If he did retire get him in as the forward tackle coach.

I met Chicka a few times, a great bloke, a tough half. A very close friend of the great Bob Fulton, as they played Union in the army. Very sad news,
Not sure about a good move. Don't think it's a bad move either. He's out best halfback but that's not saying much. If we have Hastings,Brooks and Douhie for next few years you can catch he top 8 good bye.
We need a whole new spine.

He was not quick, but also not slow,. He had Brett Kenny at 5/8, Price at lock, and a forward pack to die for. Plus the game was completely different then, where centres scored tries, and locks were gods.
Yes he was a tough player , enjoyed watching him , may he Rest In Peace
API is part of the spine, and i think Stains will surprise at FB. Though i get your point. New direction with Api at 9, won,t help a lot if the 6 and 7 don't lift their game.

Front office has nothing to do with recruitment and retention decisions since July 2022 and that is what you were talking about. It's 100% Tim Sheens since the moment he signed back on as head coach July 2022.
Any other argument about long-term Tigers mistakes and administrative bungles - sure there have been plenty in the past, probably more to come in the future. It's a tired old argument without any new material this offseason.
Then an entirely separate argument altogether about the current abilities of Sheens - it remains to be seen whether or not he can achieve success. No doubt he's been out of the game for a good while. I am not a Sheens bootlicker and I never said he was going to be successful, so you are again muddying arguments. All I said is that Sheens is making his decisions and doing so decisively, and there's nothing amateur about the way Sheens is going about his business. They may be bad decisions in the long-run, but they are professionally managed.

I'm not sure he misses out but I completely get your point.
If Hastings plays at 13 we need 160 minutes from our props combined (2 props for 80 minutes each). Klemmer, Stef, Pole & Joe O could all play for around 60 minutes per game. That is 240 minutes of footy.
Sure there will be injuries but that is a different issue.
If Hastings plays in the halves it's a different situation.

During compulsory National Service, the army would group all footy players into the one platoon. There were a few who didn't know what a football looked like but enjoyed the privileges which came with being in the footy platoon such as admission to the new sportsmans club hahaha. There were also some very good players but had to play union.

Good problem to have if we can’t find a spot for a fully fit Twal in the 17. It’s hard not to be a Twal fan, the way he conducts himself. With the amount of injuries and form slumps in forwards..he’ll play his fare share of the season in first grade. With his consistency he’ll be a valued member of the squad.

I don't doubt that something will happen and it's probably a good thing but it sounds so stupid. Hastings being the fall guy to get Bateman ? I'm worried Bateman is a dud signing and we release the guy who was our best performing spine player last season.
Sheens appears to love Brooks.
I wonder if Paws is really Sheens.
It would be a shame if Bateman doesnt reach the heights of his Canberra form and ends up a flop for us...we loose a true passionate leader and gain another Blair type...this would be typical WTS ....hope it works out...Knights-Tigers player swap “closer than ever before”

That is a good observation Cobar. It probably explains the escalation in robust posts yesterday.
