Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Tigers are finally playing reasonable football and I am starting to feel Pascoe is going to stuff it up . He hires Fulton without Sheens knowing about it . Fulton now telling a bunch of players to look elsewhere . He is interested in Shuster at well over $1mill .
One reason the team is competitive over a number of weeks is the team harmony ,everyone working together , Brooks finding form ,Our 3 big forward recruits starting to pay dividends .
Bula and Tupou looking like they could evolve into future stars .Toa getting better and better each week and Nofo having a bit of rebirth .Keeping the sams team on the field has allowed this improvement to happen .
All I hear about Fulton is he's like a Manly insider who can shift some of them from Brookvale to Concord but at what price . I don't want massive disruption rather develop what we've got and just add an additional center ( by the way Averillo has been allowed to look around and IMHO he's a gun ) add an additional playmaker to join Brooks and Wakeham ( need 3 playmakers to have deprh)
Also need another top class edge forward
Don't blow up the joint just a few select massages to our roster !

I am not confident at all the side has grown up to beat a side like the Titans.

I am confident based on maths
We put 66 pts on cowboys with their origin stars
Next cowboys go close to beating Parra without their origin stars
Next Cowboys thrash Storm 45-20 with their origin stars and we almost beat Raiders who had won 6 out of last 7 and without the refs howler should have . Tigers win !

Until you see the team we are versing is the Titans, whom we manage to lose against somehow everytime

Agree in the past AJ Brimson races 50m up the middle with inside pass . We are a much better defensive side these days

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Let's see.

I know you will remind us if we don’t

There is sure to be a strategy. The recruitment manager may change, but the strategy remains. It may well be the club acted upon feedback from various sources? We seem to have received the message our recruitment needs to be better. Manly always has strong juniors either local or bussed in from Blacktown. We can hopefully tap into that market now.

Yep, a lot from cambo area too. Looks like they've signed them up until 2024 to 2025 even 2026 period. Ended up being a good recruitment move for their good players.

Maybe Ronald McDonell was the architect of the insulting low ball offer for Brooks which probably has upset Luke and his manager and that is why he was shown the door.

Just a thought, but I would think making an offer like that to a player that loves this club isn't a real good look.

Don't think Luke is going to bother getting out of bed of a morning for somewhere around the 500k mark, I'm sure most people on here would, but then not that many of us are NRL halves either.

Could be, on 360 they were saying he was fired by Pasco, they were saying members of the board who are also on the roster committee didn't want to offer Brooks a new deal and Sheens put them in a corner by publicly stating he would offer Brooks a new deal. Thinking maybe McDonnell was the one who offered Brooks the new deal, which would have undermined the board members, over stepped the mark as Fulton is responsible for the top 30 now leading Pasco to fire him today.

Big worry is Fulton wants Schuster. His manager asked for 1.2 mil a season. I hope were not stupid enough to sign the bloke on current form, not even if he's paying us to play for us.

anasta has an axe to gring with McDonnell

Whatever their strategy .I think we seem to have a bit of team harmony lately and don't want to see seeds of disharmony being planted

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Our slow play the balls in good ball territory don’t enable him much time and space to put in effective grubbers. Teams have a plan to lie on us and they normally get away with it, hopefully after the Raiders game we see the refs a bit more conscious of it.

The plan should be stand deeper--------rocket science.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Very odd

Not really, we do it with Tumeth and King Robbie could probably give you a list of others who bounce around Flegg and KOE

 

[Telltails]

So Pascoe and LH take no accountability for football matters bring Sheens in for the role - until - they without his knowledge demote Sheens chosen recruitment manager and hire Fulton for the job. Anyone who thinks Sheens would not be pissed off about that is kidding themselves. Whether McDonnell was doing a good job or not is not the issue it's impossible to trust any thing that comes out of their mouths and the last thing needed is any disharmony between recruitment manager and coach

Fainu looks ready

 

[bigsiro]

That's only a little more than probably the wingers

A good winger is a very valuable asset and definitely worth more than Brooks.
