Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Kelce68]

maybe Holbrook ends up here as an assistant?
can't see benji and Sheens wanting to stay given they can't sign who they want and can't coach who they want specifically Joffa and Brooks.

Wouldn't be disappointed.

He could overtake from Robbie if he continues the projected path into administration.

That's why we need an independent review of the club. So the investigator can survey external players & managers and ask why they knocked back the Tigers or won't consider us when another ok alternative is on the table? This is the type of info the powerbrokers need to see!

Are you sure they'd tell you the truth ? Players and managers have agendas as well.

If enough of a sample is surveyed/questioned, it should provide a fairly accurate representation of their thoughts on the club. Can only help.

Now Clifford has signed at the Cowboys, surely we look at Townsend, he is obviously being forced out

I would 100% swap Holbrook for Sheens. And this is on results only
but I feel swapping Sheens out may help with recruitment as Gold Coast have gone ok in that area
Holbrook as Assistant , attacking coach
Furner as Assistant , defence coach
Holbrook to raid Gold Coast , Tino , Campbell , Boyd

Sheens going down kicking and screaming

 

[weststigerman]

Glass half full side of me says we’re looking at Holbrook to take on the “attacking coach for halves/backs” role Benji is currently doing when Benji transitions into head coach. That wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Couldn't do any worse.

Is Holbrook a good recruiter or is it the Gold Coast lifestyle that attracts players?

Other clubs are signing their back up halves while we're still for a first choice halves combo.

I agree, we should be looking at Townsend, while continuing to chase Fainu, Sanders, Volkman, Trindall etc.

Surely someone will be silly enough to sign with us.

Apparently he is likely to be reunited with Flanno Snr and Jnr at the Dragons.

Not suggesting anything untoward in this case but this could be open to rorting. Wonder how many NRL players get real estate 'deals of a lifetime"

Uncle Nick has been doing it for years!! All the journalists know but dont have concrete evidence. Its funny how laundy may have told buzz about his cheating. Who is to say if it is true they didnt do it with Kikau, mahoney, crighton and any other player they have tried to sign.

 

[innsaneink]

Granville Diggers?

They always thought the full time hooter was the round one bell

Always a stink at full time

Both , he is apparently a well liked person and coach , Gold Coast does have its draw cards but so does money

No, they go there for unders apparently.
Lattrel went to Souths for way unders, then bought a 4 million dollar home and a farm.

 

[Spacecub]

So why aren’t we doing it?

Who would want a free haircut or one of puscoes hats

 

[KH1988]

During the Gus discussion on NRL 360 last night David Riccio said "You can't win premierships without cheating" am sure the NRL loved that quote

Could you imagine us trying to arrange back door deals?! We cant even keep a coach for 6 months.

 

[Todd Packer]

O the flipside I don't get why our signings aren't purchasing discount apartments.

Sheens vs The CEO and the Chairman
Sheens is " stuck in a hard place between 2 immovable objects "

Replacing the coach ? How many times the Admin will deflect blame by just changing the coach .We are going down the road every year and the road leads to nowhere
To Justin Pascoe " its the roster " its the lack of recruitment which makes the roster worse ! And its the image of the Wests Tigers which is seen as fractured and disjointed that's makes the roster so poor .
You can't change a coach and give him a lousy roster and say turn them into a winning machine . Won't happen ! Doesn't matter who the coach is !
The packs ok albeit lacking a little depth but the backline is NOT .
At this stage you have imo quality in Bula and Toa
Maybe if 100% fit Nofo and Naden might be serviceable but that's it! You can't win games with a couple of Nrl standard backs
