Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yep,especially that Madge got Api and Papi and cleaned up the cap so the boys club have something to work with....

One thing I loved about Madge was he didn't stuff us. Cleary screwed the team for years with his signings.

 

[Tucker]

Amazing what he has done in a short time 🙂

yes that spoon will look great in his office

 

[teddy23]

I've been critical of him so far. He tanked last season and we've only just signed Klemmer. We need more signings. IP and Api were Madge signings.

Things are looking up though. He has to keep it coming and more importantly we have to actually win games next season.

The real work is all the junk he got rid off and players we've resigned

Klemmer and Bateman are no slouches too

 

[Tucker]

Wouldn't mind Api being captain - could lead around the boys well with his talk around the middle and has won 2 premierships with 2 teams too..... his experience is underrated

However, the comment he made might've cost him his chance

It should cost him.
I understand he was pissed and trying to be Mr Cool in front of those domestic violence loving Panthers fans, but fans here have been excited for over a year now that he is coming.
Not leadership material.

We are putting together a very formidable pack and have done it in quick time. We wont get walked over through the middle now, a little bit more strike in the backs and i reckon we'll surprise a few next year.

Klemmer is good news,Bateman will be bad news if we get him

Yea I'm unsure on Bateman aswell

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Yea I'm unsure on Bateman aswell

the Canberra Bateman will be good, the Wigan one not so much. But we have formed a very good pack of forwards
Forwards win matches backs determine by how much

Nothing wrong with people posting up what they've heard whether right or wrong IMO. But why someone would feel the need to justify their status is odd. Pretty sure there is no Dally M's for oil clairvoyance on here

I really like Hastings as a person, much like I liked Josh Reynolds.

But he's not the player that was going to take us where we need to be. Still hope he goes another level at the Knights. Good luck to him.

That's the point a few people are missing. He isn't the one to take us deep in the finals. The other two halves arnt either.

I'm happy with the trade. Klemmar won't slack off. He's not that type of player. He's competitive as on the field.

Pascoe is honestly such a [This word has been automatically removed]wit... "we do not apologise for these decisions" you mean him & lee's collective decisions over the years that led us to our first ever spoon. These guys are a cancer to our club & need to be gone ASAP.

Considering our prop rotation:
Klemmer/Twal then Utoikmanu/Pole
Taking into account probable injuries, who are the next two in line? Joe and Seyfarth? I reckon we are still a prop short...please dont say its going to be Woods!

 

[SeanT]

Ouch

CEO Justin Pascoe says the club has identified a clear recruitment and retention plan, one that is being executed aggressively. As a club we are obviously not satisfied that we finished last in 2022 and tough decisions need to be made,” said Pascoe.

Pascoe. Not satisfied? Seriously? We arnt satisfied with the hierarchy of the Tigers for the last 10 years

Don't have to go. Just need to not be anywhere near the football department.

Or the media everyday for that matter

What about fainu. Is he any good

Main thing is the cap is where it should be for us atm

 

[Tucker]

He is a young gun player. Is he ready? Not sure.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

Wouldn't Brooks leaving have done the same?
Brooks is older than Hastings.
I can only see Hastings and Newcastle being the only winners here.

No doubt it would but Hastings has gone. I understand he received a good offer and WTs released him. I wish him all the best and hope he makes the most of what is a good opportunity.

 

[twentyforty]

Joffa for captain!

Please no. I like having Jo in the team. Nobody wants to be captain. Look at what has happened to past captains?

 

[loklok]

Most props don't get goin to mid 20s

look at what Moses did with that Parramatta forward pack.
We are building just as good a pack here at Tigers.
If we can sign Moses at 7 and move Brooks to 6, he can play that Dylan brown type of role at 6

A massively overlooked thing from the end of the 2011 season we sometimes forget, imo the biggest reason for the 2012 disaster was that moron Robert Lui belting his missus in the off season and being sacked by the club. We lost the halfback who we finished in the top 4 with twice, with him around Benji could just play eyes up footy and won the golden boot, Benji was dynamic. After Lui was sacked Benji tried to fill the organiser role but struggled. Lui was the one responsible imo for that shocking 2012 season.

Don’t forget that was an injury riddled season aswell
