Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It’s a trial game some possibles and probables mixed in with the squad, get a decent look at how they perform, try some positional changes. get a better feel for where the team is at.
use the next couple of weeks to settle on your final squad for round one.

pack looks good. Half’s and backline is a concern. but certainly an improvement on last year

So simple, and only to be expected. The club bought 5 new players, and tried for 6. They have to control the cap space and money. Class players by the way. This is the coaching staffs first year, and we are yet to play a game. 1st gde has obviously been the priority at this stage,and the rest will come. To manage pathways, the cup side, recruitment, training and the multitude of things required to run the club would not be easy. The whole coaching side has only been together for a few months. Give them 6 mths at least, and then you can bag them if they deserve it

Just read he, Brooks and Joffa all have minor tweaks but being kept on ice for round one .

I think Brooks and Ofehengue have been in rehab group for a few months so not sure how minor

hearing whispers that api was not named on the team list as he wants out. @THE_POM can you confirm?

Did you pack a little to much in your last cone ?

 

[OzLuke]

Who incidentally scored a double against us and was close to scoring a 3rd, but I agree, that does not mean he's all that good.

He also made some disastrous reads in defence, and both his tries he fell over rom half a yard...

It’s interesting as Joffa has been really quiet and have hardly seen any pics of him even training.

Not worried about missing the trial but it’s a concern given how long they have been on the injured bubble pool list.

Weird. I heard he was asked to rest because he has been going so hard in training they want to make sure he is fresh for round one . Captain Api here to stay future tiger legend !

Api name doesn't command the respect it deserves for whatever reason.

If he carries himself correctly and also achieves us results he should be talked about more as one of the greats.

Hopefully the club have made him aware of this too. Being a captain is a good first step to greatness

Right, then it’s more serious eh.
Is it same Brooks injury from last year ?
We are going to hit round one, pretty underdone with our no 1 half not having had a run.
Not good !!!!

To be fair Wakeham is at a similar level to Brooks anyway

We played Canberra in a trial at Campbelltown in 05, I got home and told my Wife we'd come dead last.......28 weeks later!!!
Last night was irrelevant, next week's trial is irrelevant.

If they were irrelevant you wouldn’t play them. We have a team that needs to gel and improve a lot. Any opportunity to play is important. It’s not about the result it’s about attitude.

Only in size ! Remember Brooks is the half Sheens wanted to coach but how can he do that if he’s always injured.
And just in case there’s an issue let’s get rid of two of our half backs and then buy an average one to fill a 12 month contract.

 

[GCfan]

So Lionels off to Parra?

All night long

 

[liltiger]

Ok well then I’ll just manually do it. 👎

Iv noticed you don't use Arriba anymore.
Tito you're slipping.

 

[The Fresh Oil]

Good that means Brown is not coming to the Tigers

Hmmm I reckon he’s got one more loose aggressive season in him. Wouldn’t been too upset it he’d ended up here.

sheens said on 2gb interview Brooks is training just doesn't want to risk half his spine in Api and Brooks in the trial close to round 1

Drinking Bong Water is not advisable @ConePuncher BTW how are you still on this Forum? Are there any Mods with gonads left in this joint? Come back Cobar C or hey Kul let's start the whole thing over and get rid of these trolls. FFS! 😡

You must be basing that on height. As a footballer, he is a long way behind brooks

Not really, they're both not very good

But only 1 can kick 40/20s.

You do realise Harper is better than our centres, right? Defensively he's better than Naden, Talau, Kepaoa and Toa. Attacking wise he's erratic but better than our boys bar maybe Naden.

Hey, here is a thought for the forum.

Lets hire a Centre and a Winger that actually defend TOGETHER!

You know, players who know each other, can trust each other, know when they need to come in and how far out they need to stand AND NOT CREATE 2-1 OVERLAPS in our defence because everyone has moved in.

Literally that trial game showed we had done nothing on defensive structures. Our entire wing was meters in from the winger they were marking.
