I'd like to get to the Qld games...rd5 v ponies at SC, rd 15 v titans at CBUS.
Good chance we'll beat those sides, We beat the broncs this year with a worse side than what we'll have next year. 🤞
Are you able to get to some games sleeve? Where are you?

That Brisbane game this year was the one I took my young boys to as their first ever live game. So good to get that win.

Hope we can do the same in 2023

Off season is the domain of the happy clapper.
This time last year plenty were yelling season 2022 was going to be a huge success.
For mine, season 2023 looks promising bar 3 important factors…
1. Lack of leadership especially on field. No controlling halves, no general.
2. X factor type strike. We have no Marshal / Farah / Tedesco quality of freak player who can setup points out of nothing.
3. Coaching staff. Mostly green or possibly well over cooked.

We require at least 2 of these issues to become a positive to play finals footy. I can’t see an emerging X Factor so we need Brooks/Doueihi to stand up and lead and we need Sheens to turn back the clock.

My hopes are that finally with a good forward pack that can compete with the best of them, one or two of our existing backline options can spark attack and create tries. We also still have a vacant spot plus the possibility of trading one of the final 2023 year players as Sheens mentioned to add further options.

Roll on 2023 season and hopefully better times for WT.

I hope that our forward pack can in fact "compete with the best of them" because i think whilst it is brilliant compared to last year's pack it's still a long way off being a top tier NRL pack.

Madge signed that entire 2022 roster

He was here when they were signed, But:
how many did he personally want, compared to how many the club signed and gave to him?
how much cap space did he have when he signed them?
who else was on the market at a comparable price to what he signed them for?
We fans don't know the ins and outs of the recruitment process. Madge could be entirely to blame for the poor roster, or he could be hardly to blame at all. It is likely the truth is somewhere in the middle of that scale.

Ok
Madge was part of a recruitment ‘panel’
How much was JTJ, Tamou etc signed for $150,000 & $250,000 ??

Sheens answers to no one as he is also head of football
What dollars is Sheens playing with ??
Bateman $700,000 (guess)
Klemmer $750,000 +
(balance of newcastle contract in 2023)
Ferrari $500,000
(balance of Penrith contract for 2023)
Moses $1.25 mill (possible)

Sheens has been sacked from his last 3-4 clubs because of his ‘leadership’. If there is improvement in 2023 it will mainly be because of the cattle, the cattle able to be bought with the cap space available.

We will never know what Madge could have done with recruitment with all this available money, he was sacked by the new coach 🙄, the new coach because he failed to get Ciraldo
He also dumped Noddy in a no win situation by releasing players and telling anyone that would listen (including the current players) he was mainly aiming for 2025 - 2022 season over

Sheens is not the Messiah, just someone who has the coaching position at the most opportune time to buy quality cattle

But I’m hopeful despite my opinion that the tigers have a great year 🤞for all the supporters who watched the debacle overseen by sheens last year

Mate, that’s too much sense and facts for the Sheens bootlickers. Anything that doesn’t align with their “Sheens is the Messiah” rhetoric, they stick their fingers in their fairs and continue to trot out the same nonsense because they have neither the brains or spine to counter it.

Trying to credit Sheens with the Api and IP signings is just their latest dishonest attempt to rewrite history. They are a pack of low-IQ, repugnant, obnoxious morons

“…. Or he could be hardly to blame at all”
You crack me up 😂
 
I can understand the premature excitementation obviously as a result of recruitment. I’m pumped too.
The reality is though, “ it’s a results game” and we have a poorer record since we sacked Maguire.
1 win from 12 games and the few players who were most instrumental in that win ironically are either sacked or contemplating leaving.
I guess I just don’t understand that building something is achieved by constantly pulling it apart?
Madge was sacked because we were like Coles prices...going down down down. But we went further down after his sacking?
Happy New Year everyone!

Get a room for yourself, Man U write some shit!
A little tip for u last time we made the finals, sheens was in charge.
I may not pay sheens completely for the paps signing but it was him all the way for api, but he still got the deal done for both!
But carry on with your rant….
