Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[The Chad]

True The Chad, but don’t forget the players you mentioned are not just big, they are also very quick.

Yep, they are. But you don't see Canberra or St George, who don't have overly stacked rosters, struggle every week to defend or create the same way the Tigers do. I think we just have too many small/slow athletes, or more accurately- not enough of these NRL style uber athletes.

Sadly, Kepaoa probably matches up best, physically, over most of our current wing options.

Chad.. off the field.

My concern about Benji is he too nice of a bloke ?
I could be wrong, but he doesn’t seem to have the personality to highlight when players are under performing like how Bellamy does.

You could be right!

That might be harsh.

Who can Benji bring in to replace the under performing players?

At this point- he's not sacrificing players that aren't ready.

Who can we bring in to teach Benji.

I would be telling Stefano he can go

Would not be making Stefano an offer for another month at least to see how he leads us out of this slump. His value atm is $700k tops.

Sometimes it’s better to go shopping at K-Mart than not go shopping at all.
When you have no depth you have to shop somewhere.

I prefer local stores - no facial recognition..

Bennett in a perfect world.

If the Tigers got everything right the first time, Tim Sheens.

I hear he's still out there somewhere. He'd be a hell of a Football Manager.

Cough...Hymel Hunt...

He’d no doubt go better than some we have been playing.

Olam & Hunt on one side....I wouldn't want to be an outside back running that side against them.

Grant Anderson playing for the Storm now is one who digs the big, strong & fast athlete category.

Bellamy coached no name

 

[stephen]

We really failed when we had players like Finucane, Mciness and Hynes available.

Players with very high levels of professionalism and competitiveness.

These players drive culture.
A culture we really lack.

Those players when available would've been exactly what we needed as a club.

Haha. Not good enough for the soon to be 3 x spooners.

 

[stephen]

While Finucane may have been good for club culture, we made the right call in not signing him. Good player in his day but it just wasn’t meant to be after this stint at the Storm. McInness and Hynes you do have a point but we were still rolling with Brooks so they didn’t see the need for Hynes and McInness was rumoured we tried to sign him but I don’t know if legit or not.

That's the problem, Glenji.
"They didn't see the need"

Cough...Hymel Hunt...

Haha. You're on a percentage, surely?

Penrith has a beach now!
