Nofo is a prime example of the former admnin turning a blind eye to standards.
Quietest off-season for a long time
- Thread starter Tiger_Bond
- Start date
Its not even the wins for me. Its being able to defend for 80 minutes, not 50, and too actually have a style in attack because the 5 hit ups and over end kick to the cprnwr doesnt cut it for me. Absolutely hated watching this team 20m out from the tryline. Headless chooks

it's been a BIG offseason (Board, CEO, Luai, Fulton, Nofoaluma), but it has been quiet in terms of what we're up to day-to-day. nothing like Sheens' PR exercise last year with Chammas, no Madge or Lee on radio, no Luke Brooks or Joey Leilua profile pieces.
it's been a welcome change. quite frankly, no one has any idea what's going on at HQ, apart from the fact that Benji wants us to compete on every play and Richo is currently restructuring the club. I think this is going to be the case almost exclusively moving forward I'm stoked. we'll know more about what we're going to look like as a football side come the trials.

+ got rid of that knobhead Scott Fulton haha
I think what OP was trying 2 imply is that it's
been quite with respect 2 negative news stories,
speculation etc. Could be wrong but that's how
I've interpreted it. Those points you made in your
post answer mostly as to why. Onto better days

I think the difference being, after the changes this speculation was all from the "professional" media and social media. Since the new faces have come on board we have not had the leaks and chairman types going on radio happy to shit can the club for their own agendas.

I mean you compare us to the Brisbane's and the Manly's of the world we've been mute. Api and Klemmer both did podcast episodes, but neither of them spoke about us for anything more than ten minutes.
Sezer and Sullivan got a little bit of press at the beginning of preseason, but that's really it. other than that, there's nothing else I can really recall.

I agree no nofo will be beneficial for us in the long run... When I said it's a negative meaning the entire scenario ... Not training... RLPA... etc that's something we could've done without but it's been handled well.with the minimum of fuss and drama

NRL media is always slow till after the last cricket test is finished and the Australian open has concluded. So will be interesting if the gloves will be still off and the positive articles keep flowing now the media attention on the NRL is ramped up.
Got a feeling Benji will be given some latitude but he will need some early wins other wise he will get smashed like all his predecessors

I don’t see him under much pressure this season. He has a free swing. Expectations spike in 2025 though.

No major injuries either which is nice too 🤞🏼🙏🏼
I think the he way he means quiet, is there hasn’t been 50 articles on why the tigers are the biggest basket case , and need to move to Perth . All the heavy , potentially damaging our whole offseason decisions , have been handled with little fuss , and have come and gone with a whisper and a whimper (from our former chair) . Obviously the vacuum we all shit in , means for us it’s business as usual , but for the majority of fans this has been super quiet .

From our club and our supporters I agree, 2024 he will be given a free ride, but I am not sure the media will be so kind if we suffer a long string of defeats

There are hardly any articles ever on us moving to Perth. Even if there were, they are not worth giving oxygen to. It’s never happening.

Let them. Not many teams running last get a free ride in the media.
I agree, whilst there has been a huge amount of club changing events over the off-season. The media coverage on each has been coordinated, concise and direct.
Outside of that there are less training the house down articles and media chats. It does seem as though this current period across the game is quiet. Clubs are training but media focus is elsewhere. Things will ramp up across the league during the two trial weeks

Have to agree , off season has been quiet considering the changes that have happened with the board , CEO , Chairman , Fulton , Noffa , but I feel when they got Richo on board he would have stipulated what was going to happen going forward ,
no leaks , first to leak will be punted
I’m in charge , il put the media clowns in their place if need be .
Marshal gets 100% support from me and the entire group . No questions .
if Benji wants a player we go after that player , if he doesn’t want one hear all ready il move him on , ride the rules 100% , micro manage .
its a good feeling to be out of the lime light for all the wrong reasons , but clearly , no Lee has bought huge silence , no dump shit from Justin , No Sheens 200 passes crap , just straight up hard work all round , and the team and club will be heading in the right direction come round 2 , Break out year for all to climb the ladder , I am all in for a top 8 spot ( 8 th ) in a dog fight till last round

When does Fool Slothfield awaken from his drunken slumber, when is NRL 360 back on the air, is Tell Tales Tallis still grinning like a Cheshire cat or is Paul K*nt back on the air?
Not too long now and all will be revealed.
