Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[supercoach]

Brown was a fair footballer a few years ago. He played a hard physical game, I guess similar to Victor Radley. It’s taken a toll on his body and yes well managed in short stints he probably still can add something to our team…but personally I would leave that spot for a kid on the way up. In saying that, if injuries rip through us again, he could be handy

 

[tigerballs]

How can you say his toughness is a myth simply because Blore got a good shot on him?
Brown continued playing and got one back, never backed down, had a good tussle with the young bloke and most importantly, won the game. He also backed up and did the same week after week.

Please. He tries to be tough, I'll give him that but when was the last time he got the better of someone?

We don’t have any kids that can do that. Why do you think we’re buying some more experienced forwards who can throw their weight around?

Like it or lump it, Brown is coming.

I for one, like it.

Arriba!

I don’t know. Just take it on board.

I just thought of a new sign - King Brown - with like a king brown snake and shit?

Tito - you’ve done it again! Marketing genius!

Arriba!

Gee I love the way a lot of u on this forum want to throw spots to untried kids , most of them are at least 2 years away from been 1st grade standard , blokes like brown my not be the player he was years ago but he is way ahead of what we had last year, he will teach these kids what it takes to play week in week out , so unless u to have another wooden spoon , have faith in sheens , I think he is pulling together a great forward pack , and next year he wii address the backs

So what you are stating is that this guy, who plays in the toughest position, in the toughest comp in the world, is merely pretending to be tough? Hes a tryhard tough guy? Is that your story lol?...

Completely agree about the young players coming through,many probably most will not make FG and that is just something we have to accept.Being the best team in an age group very rarely translates into a top NRL side having said that the club should be giving them as much support as they possibly can to make the transition.We as supporters need patience as all juniors are a work in progress and some that are not rated highly by the club may end up being the best with hard work and perseverance

Any 1 who’s thinks we can throw a 20 year old in to play 25 rounds at lock is delusional. We need experienced players who can handle the week to week grind of nrl till these kids are ready

Anybody here know the status of Jimmy Ngutlik? Last I saw we were planning on handing him a train and trial.

Think same as will Smith

All good Champ, the beautiful thing is we dont have to agree.
But respect your opinion and hope if he does come he proves me wrong.

See man, that’s how you disagree with somebody else’s position on something. A bit of common courtesy goes a long way. We’ll played sir

 

[Champ1]

I'd have him behind Benny. Both great players but Benny had to win scrums and contested PTB's as well.

Yep saw Benny play & a great admirer. I think Benny was the first hooker i remember playing that third playmaker role & kicking from dummy half. But i still think Robbie perfected it.

 

[Champ1]

Jake Simpkin? He could be our Mitch Kenny, relieve lock and hooker

I rate this kid. A big mistake if we loose him at this point.

Amen to that Ronnie, & love the differing opinions here. Also appreciate that we are all Tigers fans here & just want the Tigs to have a bit of sucess. Im the same as you mate..... Im happy to be wrong if we are winning.

Benny was crafty like Farah was.
But Smith is clearly the best hooker ever. Possibly followed by Walters and Elias, depending on taste.

He falls off 2 many tackles and he's a hog close to the line
I'd rather have Rua he's got more size
