Unless Moses has 100% bought into the Sheens/Benji “sell”…Back door Elias has effectively told us Mitch ain’t coming to the Tigers…I mentioned this 2 weeks ago Elias is setting WT up for a soft landing… no matter how much money we throw at him….still nothing official, but read between the lines and there is your answer…

With the Christmas break nearly upon us, the timing is perfect for an announcement on Friday or Saturday regardless of which way the decision goes. This is more the case if it is bad news.
The only halves trialling over pre-season are Camroux, Will Smith, Kade Hill and Luke Knight.
We know Smith is just a fringe first-grader who can sometimes do a job; not sure if the others will end up making it.
Knight has joined us from the Roosters and he’s a fullback/half so haven’t seen heaps of him.
I thought Kade Hill was very good this year at Jersey Flegg level.
Not sure if his skill will translate to first grade, as he’s all skin and bones, but he’ll start the year in NSW Cup and go from there.
Have also read a few times that they’re training Reilly as a half, not as an outside back, interestingly enough.
Has to be leadership on the field or no matter how the coach delivers his halftime talk - yelling or whispering - in the heat of the battle some one has to lead that others will follow and set the standard on the field.

What’s that, are saying Tristan Reilly the union centre that can’t tackle a been bag glued to the lounge room floor is training at halfback?
Would think more five-eighth, but yeah, in the halves is what’s been suggested online.
He was a five-eighth as a junior.
That being said, you would not want him playing like a woman, even one of the best women. This is a man's comp and even the best women wouldn't cut it.

And the on field moaning and whinging has to stop ....Nofa reacting like a spoilt child in d ....save it for the video sessions ....bad look on field
And if your booting them up the ass in the ingoal ...you can't be the one meandering there way back in defence when the opposition makes a break .....AD
You want to be a leader ...lead by your actions first and foremost ......play every play like it's your last every week .....

Well technically your inside centre in Union is a back up 5/8 or 10
But when you think of quality inside centres in Union they should be one of your best defenders (ie Tim Horan )
God I would have loved to see Tim Horan play league

I did specify the different competitions.
Then there should be no issue with saying Brooks needs to play like a man then. He is not playing in the women's comp 😉
I saw it pretty much the same. I do agree, however, that Madge has always shown himself to be a man of integrity and I wish him well.
You are right that meeting a person is certainly different from how the Media portrays them . However for me , actions speak louder than words. His character was on display when he had the chance to stand up against the blatantly bias decisions in that Cowboy game .Tough words are cheap when not followed up with action . He laid down.
Yep - I am more concerned if we miss Bateman. Both Moses and Bateman played well in the World Cup, so I would be happy if either or both came. Bateman was not that good for Wigan this year, but I still think he can add something to the Tigers at a much smaller price than Moses.
Bateman would be ok if nothing but showing potential other players that we now have rep players. Be easier to recruit.
No point having Bateman run the angles if we don't have the halves to exploit the lines though.
Yes I have met him - a couple of times.
Was extremely charming and polite.
I’ve met countless narcissists who are the same though.
The true colors come out when you disagree with them.
Exactly what happened when Lee said he wouldn’t listen to people who don’t invest money in the club.
Donald Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon clone - without the commercial negotiation skills.
Wish him all the best though but we’re second rate with him and Justin at the helm… proofs in the pudding.
On the narcissist front - he drives a black Ferrari to the training session - the day he sacks Madge.
Players, football department staff, media all take note of this. They would prefer a billionaire who drives a normal car to work - read the room.
Unfortunately didn't have the resources around him to get results on the field and paid the price. Was largely the fall guy for many who failed alongside him and escaped accountability, but to date can't fault his humility and approach to moving on.
I think your the one bringing the sexist slant on that one…
He said put on big boy pants and play like a man, as if he was playing like a child.
I don’t agree with his comment, think brooks is a good player. But it’s not a sexist comment and maybe paws may doth protest to much on this one.

I'm glad Bob that you dropped in to the interchange.
If you don't like the standard of play of a player, you can write about it in a respectful manner.
Questioning the manhood of a player is a different issue. It's unnecessary.
Thank you for your interest in me. Be assured I am reading "Where is manhood most precarious?" and "How do I handle my manhood being insulted?". Love your work.
PS. I am looking to buy a V8 Monaro
Where Is "Manhood" Most Precarious?
Some men and women think "manhood" is a precarious social status that is hard to earn and easy to lose. Are such beliefs found more often in some cultural groups than in others?

How do I handle my manhood being insulted?
Answer (1 of 4): What I am about to say may be hard for you and you might think I am being an ass but you asked a question and I want to try to help you. First you say you own a part of the issue because you called her crazy and bragged about taking her virginity. You do admit this was wrong w...
We had a bloke who did that.
