Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Would think opposition will continue to do what has been successful for too many years. Bash us up the middle and wait a relatively short time to score thru the middle or on the edges. The only thing that gives hope for 2023 is we may now have a forward pack that can stop this happening and allow us to do the same to the opposition.

I would argue our 2023 pack, on paper, is our best ever and by seasons end they’ll prove so. I’d be very surprised if we concede points through the middle as we have done for the past decade or more.

Beau Ryan and Danny Galea say Hello

Imagine watching Beau Ryan trying to play prop. I reckon he’d give it his all, but get the stretcher ready.

No argument from me..on paper this is potentially the best pack we have ever had ..2005 and 2010/11 included

I remember a game when Beau came off the bench and tackled everthing that moved, for a couple of sets anyway.

I’m not sure if everyone knows this, but Tim Sheens’ has history with Balmain. His great uncle played FB for Balmain in 1908.

It certainly looks like him

It is him and its Mark Howard another Fox commentator driving the car.

True, but in attack I wish we had players that could score length of field tries.

Give it time.
Let’s make sure the pack is fixed first.
They are the real footballers in a squad.

How did he go?

This is true and correct ish his last name was close to Bon Jovi so they used Bon Jovi

Their family name is Buongiove, but the traditional Italian name wasn't trendy enough for Hollywood.

Totally agree Tuck, being an old centre I can support you there.
I laugh when people say centres don't get paid as much because it's not a critical position, fiddle sticks. Quiet often you have to make spilt second decisions and be solid. Changing angles are a test for endurance, players covering on the inside.
The good sides have so many bodies in motion both in attack and in D for sustained periods.
If our team is super fit so noone gets stuck in the mud then we've got a huge chance

I played in the centres once... I was not good!

Hence the "once"... 🤣

In other news, I can't wait until Moses' resigning is announced.

I loved Beau and he loved being a Tiger. Not the most talented, but he did give it his all. It was a shame how it ended.

Bongiovi was his real name

Did not have to imagine it I saw it first hand under Sheenius

No it's not. My mate and I still laugh about the time at Leichhardt where Ryan got up from a tackle and started to jog back out to the wing, only to be pushed back into the middle by Liam Fulton. "Nah mate you're here, remember? No I've no idea why either."

Some people have a very selective memory about Sheens as they only remember the "good things".There are quite a few who still remember both the good and bad and undoubtedly we will be getting a dose of both again.
It will be an interesting season for many reasons
