Wow....comparing Klemmer to Woods....no idea.

And a lovely good morning to you too. Things still going well for you.

 

[hammertime]

How bad was the boss though? Always stepping in, on the defence, and ruining the flow. Wish he was more like Fulton and not giving a rats

Agree. Pascoe was a bit embarrassing on there. It certainly alleviated concerns I had about Fulton. Seems like a decent guy

Fulton seems like a real prick doesn't he. I like it.

It sounds like a complement doesn't it. I might ask my wife if she is into some King Arthur role playing.

Be careful what you wish for

Finally some signings official - Latu Fainu
- Samuela Fainu
- Jayden Sullivan
- Adam Sezer
But one im really happy about John Morris as assistant coach .This guy is a pro and should be able to put the right systems in place and support Benji
What I'm confused about is who starts at 6 & 7 ? Weve got 3 half's above for 2 positions

Fulton sounded adamant that Latu would be first grade ready in 2024

Latu in 2024 will be the same age Isaiya Katoa is this year.

He's handled NRL pretty well, not all smooth sailing for him, but you can see the quality even at his age.

I doubt Latu will start there in 2024 - he may be ready but they'll start with Sezer to give us some direction.

Taafe going to Bulldogs. Tigers in box seat for Sullivan.

Misty, have you any news/rumours to share?

I believe Katoa didn’t play any NSW Cup, went straight from Flegg to NRL. Might have played one game.

Fainu has had plenty of NSW Cup experience to prep him for next year.

Given we have 2 more experienced halves, he doesn’t need to play from round 1, but I think he’ll be ready if he needs to play.

not here

Does 4 years match him up with Benji’s term ?
I like it, hopefully a coaching team that gets to see out their contract and if so that means the Tigers are on the up. 🤞

The next 4 years are fairly set in stone now - Benji, Morris, Fainu, Sullivan.

Hopefully they all work out because they are long contracts.

I watched ask the boss last night, i liked Fultons no nonsense approach, i can see how he'd rub people the wrong way but if he does the job who cares. I thought he was reasonably insightful,Pascoe on the otherhand was Pascoe what can you say.
I did enjoy Fulton cracking up over he's island getaway.

 

[Nadz4483]

First name that came to mind but really don’t need any more backrowers.

You make room for talent like him

The coffee club set say that we might be looking at former international rugby league and rugby union coach as an assistant for next year. Name rhymes with Chichael Meika 😉

I had no idea what a Sword Smoker was...
Urban dictionary to the rescue:
The act of smoking marijuana as well as engaging in a King Arthur sexual role play with a partner.

Wow this is a thing. Ok it explains the round table/round couch!

Mate that sounds like a bloody good time.

 

[Bellend]

Would if be very surprised Stefano ever went back to Parra after the poor treatment they his Brother. This poor treatment was one of the main reason Stefano signed with us.

They also were totally disrespectful with the way they handled his FG appearances. They literally gave him a 10 second debut.

 

[Vicious]

Not only is Stefano one of the very best young props in the game who should be hitting his peak within the next couple of years, but I’m reliably told he also befriends our young up and coming players, takes them under his wing so to speak.
Obviously we can’t be held to ransom, but it’s highly important t we keep Stefano and Ice long term.

Klemmer and Woods are totally different animals.
The former does hard yakka, the latter looked for any easy way to pad his stats.

I was hesitant about Big Klem comming to the Tigers because I to had thought he was at the Woods stage of his career BUT have been surprised at his go forward and defence . Compare him to our saviour Tamou and we have an experienced forward still putting in

Makes sense, close ties with Farah from coaching Lebanon & the useful resource Wikipedia has him cousins with Doeuihi.
