Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It was an 8 year contract, and he has been in their top 2 players every year of that deal

Yeah I was thinking of the swans/buddy deal cheers for correction. I place both those deals in the same category.

Obviously cherry played awesome last night and I guess the expectation is he performs like that more often than not.

I honestly think Manly have underperformed more often than not the last few seasons if you compare their squads agains tigers. So if the argument is that you need a million dollar half back to make the use of your squad then cherry hasn’t lived up to his contract.

After watching every game my advice is to load up on Souths ( and something on us at 60's) winning the comp before the price shortens. Penrith were very good to me the last couple of years but I think they won't be able to repeat it.

Some here were throwing cheap shots at Hastings for pointing.

I think I’d rather Brooks stand back and point. Nearly every time he touches the ball he takes the wrong option.

But his got a strong pack now, and that’s what he needed to perform 🤦‍♂️. Pointing isn’t his strong point either

I would like to officially congratulate:
Api, Klem, Ice, Charlie on their Tiger debut. As predicted, all performed like seasoned Tigers veterans. Our ability to make good players become terrible is our speciality.
Ice showed some real Adam Blair.
Api had moments of sheer Matt Balin.
Klem ball played like Russell Packer
Charlie showed the composure of Darren Clarke.

I'm officially on the Dolphins bandwagon.

Johnson’s frame and power has made him a massive threat this season in the Andrew Johns Cup, crossing for four tries in four games for the Tigers

COULD HE BE THE NEXT TUAKI ??

You do realise if he comes, it will to play with his mate Brooks in the halves.

I think I'd rather he didn't come and we find someone else to partner Doueihi or replace both halves.

Our price won't shorten. It'll be 6000's if we lose to Newcastle.

If I was Moses and saw last night's game, I'd be thinking Luke's a great bloke to spend out of footy time with but...... pass.
I'm on the Punt Brookes bandwagon but I'd still give him another 3 games to see if it gels better.

Klemmer ran 193m, 72 post contacts 34 tackles 0 missed

Papi 160m 53 post contact 26 tackles 1 missed

Api wasn’t at his best but he came on and busted himself trying up the linespeed and enthusiasm when we were obviously going backwards.

Stains was a victim of us playing sideways benji ball most of the match.

Classic tigers performance but disagree that our new recruits were the problem.

 

[rihannafan1]

How old is he again? Could he be ready to take over from Api in 3 years? I know there are some wraps on him.

Yes, I think the plan would be for him to maybe debut next year. He's rated very highly.

He broke down our attack so many times yesterday when passing. When he runs he is dynamic though.

Yeah, I get the jokes but seriously we were not that bad and cannot complete at a lower rate.

100% correct

We were to sideways and didnt play the simple Power Game that was need in round 1.

Effort was there, just a few costly lapses in judgement and dropped balls

True, the problem with the dropped balls though were most of them were just simple without any pressure on the receiver. The guys really need to work on their ability to focus and maintain composure and attention under fatigue. Hopefully it will get better as they get fitter, I'm sure it will, but it was a problem all last year simple dropped ball under fatigue.
