I think if you click on their profile picture you can choose to ignore them.

Done. Thanks mate. No more feeling so dumb reading the forum after reading this bloke’s inane posts

Yes understood.
You do need to remember though, that when it comes to football, you are a bloody idiot.

Keep whining.

Also seems to be overlooking - None of those teams came last for the last 2 years....
Also is too busy looking at the list - Look at next years list, It looks better....
Find the players you want, Get them - Then try get them out early.

Or just get players to break contracts....
Seems to happen to us often enough to suggest it's not an unreachable option.

What do you even mean by "next year's list"? No-one can even start negotiating for 2025 before 1 November - who exactly do you think we have missed out on? "Or just get players to break contracts". Jeez I love interacting with people who don't live in the real world. Yeah let's just sign players who aren't allowed to negotiate contracts or imagine a bunch of players who are happy to walk away from their existing deals to come to the back to back wooden spooners. You have absolutely no idea how any of this works and your comment is embarrassing.

Yep, get some of those Broncos and Panthers players. Get Ivan as assistant coach while you’re at it 😂

You keep happy clapping like a brain damaged seal.

Or, to put it another way, "living in the real world". Hope your mummy and daddy get you that spaceship for Christmas, champ.

Love old Trev, and his younger brother John. Legend of the club.

I'm sure there is a middle ground here where people can both find positives out of a low point and provide perspectives / suggest ideas on a realistic strategy out of the current state of the club, whilst simultaneously hoping for a drastic and unexpected positive change, be it administrative, recruitment or whatever.

I'm struggling to see the benefit of putting the kibosh on people whose suggested solutions to the problem are conservative and realistic versus transformational and unrealistic. It may not be what we as fans want, but the very people on here putting these underwhelming-at-times suggestions forward are not doing so because they want the side to continue to languish, nor that they believe it the most effective way out, but that they lament the position we're in as much as any and are attempting to suggest ways forward given a multitude of variables at play here, salary cap, club perception, modern player priorities, state of the current market, etc.

Of the Magpies sure but not really a big name for most Tigers fans, Balmain or Wests.

Who should we have signed then, we tried for Moses, Haas and Munster, also Pearce, they didn't want to come, who are these players we could have got that reach your high standard

Because of the real, genuine lack of talent available in the FA market, does everyone assume there will be a fair amount of horse trading between clubs for players that are either 'over valued' or surplus to requirements?

Players like Olam & Momorovski, for example, could get starting positions elsewhere reasonably easy- particularly for clubs like the Tigers & Dragons. Similarly, players like Twal & Nofa, who are 'over priced' at the Tigers, could be shipped out at reduced rates as the bargaining chip.

I think more than in previous seasons, we might see contracted players being moved on between clubs.

Oh the good old days, when you got to the ground early and saw 3 grades in the one day.
Brilliant, we knew all the players as they climbed the grades.

 

[The Chad]

Additionally, teams with really strong junior bases, but weaker starting squads, have something other clubs want coming through. Could some of the Tigers juniors be valuable trading options for success 'now' instead of the future?

Agree probably kick in November 1. Conner Tracy I would just go hard and get him to walk away from Sharks to get a starting spot with us

Under 21 = Reserve Grade = First grade.

Exactly. This club is in a deep, deep hole and it's not going to turn round overnight. The people who are being unrealistic are the ones who think a handful of free agent signings is going to make everything ok. It's always the same spoiled kid nonsense: "Why don't we just sign a bunch of players who aren't on the market?" "Why don't we sign all the players who decided they wanted to go elsewhere?" "I don't want to do another rebuild." (waa).

As it happens, I complete agree that the club is run by idiots and TBH I don't hold out a great deal of hope on that basis. But I'm equally sure that "let's balls up our salary cap for the next half decade, again, by blowing it on anyone who'll sign for us" isn't going to improve that situation.
