We have bugger all kids coming through and noone wants to come.
Tigers have the wrong approach with players like Mitchell, Munster, Moses. There's no way we're getting those players. Players with options will not come here and they shouldn't. But if you look at second tier players or unproven players that are a bit under the radar then you can have success.
Look at Newcastle this year in recruiting Miller and Hastings. Newcastle wouldn't be particularly desirable but they had the smarts to go after 2nd tier players who make their squad better rather than our approach of throwing big dollars at players who aren't interested. They're not going to win the premiership but you build on that and can probably attract better players on the back of that.
Taking that approach requires significant money on scouting. Instead, our club is focused on haircuts and press releases and the supposed instant fix of a superstar signing.
Our clubs reeks of incompetence and desperation and everyone smells it.
Does Warren McDonnell have any kids or grandkids running around? Put aside a coupe of top 30 spots for them
I'm hoping we can just get a controlling half, doesn't need to be Andrew Johns just someone who can do their job and a half decent fullback, surely there has to be a young up and coming player in reserves or qcup who wants a run, but don't reckon they will sign a fullback though because I think Bula is guaranteed it now, no matter how raw he is he can't be any worse than Douhi. Wouldn't be surprised to read Douhi is released within the next month.Api, IP, Klemmer, Hastings last year, Bateman. We can get players. We have Pole, Blore, Matamua and Tupou as well.
We just need some players of our new signings in our backline and especially our 1, 6 and 7. If we had a marquee half and fullback we'd be a different team.

I cannot believe how poor our a spine is. It has to be one of the worst in our historyCampbell or Kennedy at 1
In the halves, without scraping the bottom of the barrel, you go for a bloke who has shown he belongs in the 7, like Tricky, or Williams, coupled with a Taafe.
Or you get a bloke at 7 like Pezet, Hawkins, who look good but less proven, and a more established 6.
It ain't that hard, you don't need 1.5 million and you don't need Mitchel Pearce (although I'd take him to the of 24 provided we have a new 6 and 1).
Club is literally stuffed. There are heaps possibilities with what's available, you could literally build dozens of spines that are better than ours. And remember, what's available means who will come to play full time NRL and at what price, nothing to do with contracts elsewhere.
@Demps literally did the hard work for them a few pages back.
I’m praying Douhie is released asap, just don’t know who’d want him after his last month of playing dodge tackle?I'm hoping we can just get a controlling half, doesn't need to be Andrew Johns just someone who can do their job and a half decent fullback, surely there has to be a young up and coming player in reserves or qcup who wants a run, but don't reckon they will sign a fullback though because I think Bula is guaranteed it now, no matter how raw he is he can't be any worse than Douhi.

My issue is how long it takes to get it sorted, it's only a matter of time before our new recruits drop their heads and say bugger it and start just turning up for their pay cheque in true Tigers fashion.I honestly think we need Andrew Johns and Billy Slater in our team to turn us into a quality team. I think we are that far off. The problem is atm we have duds in those positions and any improvement would be a step in the right direction.
Hastings right now would be a significant upgrade for us and that would enable Brooks and Laurie to fight it out for the running 6 spot.
Noone, on fox Mal Meninga was laughing literally about how poor he was at fullback. Maybe he could get a gig in the Super League. He won't be getting 900k though 🤣I’m praying Douhie is released asap, just don’t know who’d want him after his last month of playing dodge tackle?

On special, Coles dollar dazzler$90.00
It's strange, we had so much hope with a new look pack that apart from last night was equal to the first 4 teams we played and all it did with the extra space it provided our spine instead of helping them shine as you'd expect, it potentially ended 2 N.R.L careers by exposing how inept and impotent they are with and without the ball.He'll be on above 600k. I can't see any club picking him up. I can't see him making it in the NRL at this point. I was hopeful he could become a marquee 6 for us.
I honestly haven't seen a player regress so badly in his career from promising up and comer to dud player.
