he is a different cat Caleb Clarke he marches to his own beat and not entirely happy with All Blacks telling him what to do

100% a different cat he may pull a SBW and straight up walk but who knows

Mitch is there and we are going "well" he stays no doubt

We did speak to Spencer he got cold feet and decided to go back to riff

Are you 100 percent we have got Moses signed and delivered or it is just rumour atm?

 

[Yossarian]

Logen Dillon signs with Mackay Cutters.

I hope for his sake he turns it round. He looked a real talent 18 months ago and went backwards at a rapid speed.

 

[Westsboi2019]

When you realize our 2023 halves combo consists of a player who wasn't done much of late and had frequent requests to leave and another who's been shopping himself around for 900 K

If we get Bateman and the All Blacks bloke I’ll be upgrading my membership and jersey. The signing of Sheens appears to have had the desired effect.

It’s a start but the halves and backline still suck

Madge signed the two biggest inclusions and he operated with no cap space. Unfair to apportion much blame on him. Chins dad and the CEO sunk us.

Agree 100 percent but there is no denying Sheens has brought in much more talent than Madge did in a single off-season, not swiping Madge he was trying to climb an icy mountain in Rollerblades here, but it is a compliment to Sheens and the rest of the recruitment team, the Tigers stigma of players not wanting to come seems to truly be dead.

This is one thing I love about rugby league in Australia. Guys can fail to make it yet still have the opportunity to play semi-professionally and work their way back the hard way. Most sports you are done if you fall out of a professional system.

Laurie - young and shows potential
Noff - at his best is NRL level
Centre spot vacant
Naden - inconsistent
Ken - good player but rumoured to be leaving and knee could be chronic
AD - thinks he’s worth a million $ 😂
Brooks - Will play behind a better platform than ever before and Api will take some pressure off him

That’s how I see it mate, few gaps there

Sure, I would like Penrith's forward pack or the Souths Burgess family to visit us.

Ain't happening, totally get your point.
Forwards LOVE playing with other forwards. The sharks got Gallen and Gallen pulled in people like Luke Lewis . Once they added Chris Heighington and others they were a real force to be reckoned with.... Forwards want to play with good forwards, you want to play with Gallen or Jason T. No one wants to be the Josh Jackson and carry your team.

Yet we ain't going to get 6-8 Rep quality forwards, not now and not for a fair few years. 6-8 rep quality forwards don't join teams coming 16th.

Manly seem to make the finals off 2-3 Outstanding forwards and then lift 2-3 mediocre forwards to rep levels. Likewise Souths in the last two years, without the Burgess brothers seem to find 3 average players and raise them up. Easts too, pick up the cap dregs and turn them into good tacklers and tackle machines.

Our forward pack for 2022 and 2021 was actually looking strong on paper.

Okay so my bloody point. We won't be getting 6-8 rep quality forwards. Brooks will get the forward pack we have OR maybe one with 1-2 quality forwards. If Brooks can't make the team or function as a halfback with what we got, he has to go!

I hate to say it, we let the wrong player go.

Wasn't cotric mated with Williams?

What did they end up having a boy or girl?

The king is back time for some bombs
- John Bateman signed
- Moses set to sign a 3 year deal starting in 2024 with a promise that Brooks will be there when he arrives
- Luke Thompson 50/50 to return to Australia
- Sheens found Douehis 900k price tag laughable
- Woods a potential signing

is the 23yr old ,hothead we were chasing ,coming to Oz with Bateman,

But Madge signed Api and Papali’i. When he finally had some cash. His signing attempts like Mitchell and Addo- Carr were always doomed because they completely emptied the till.

I agree with you, I just don't think Madge could have turned the roster over as aggressively as the guys in there have now

Agree. It took a long while but I think the club is regaining some credibility.

I'm not sure that's possible.

 

[Odessa]

So with Tim's last comment ....does that mean we will never have heard of some of the signatures

I always come back to the movie Major League ...when the owner presents the playing roster to the board ...one member says " I've never heard of half of these guys and the one's I have are way past their prime " .....another board member says "this guy is dead " to where the owner replies "well cross him off then "

I picture this in our board room ......lol

Great movie see it over 20 times ...Just a random question have you seen kung Fu hustle?
