Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TSP]

The thing for me though is we spent a long time putting resources around Luke Brooks and the guy just wasn't up to it.

It will be refreshing and hopefully beneficial for us not to have to worry too much about the new halfback, who will do his job and create chances, and let the other players just do their job.

For example Tigers 2024 are a low-error side and Tigers 2023 had lots of attacking possession, but the main problem was that good defences could withstand our early assaults and then wrestle back control of the match. At which point we'd eventually capitulate.

My personal argument is that in 2024 Tigers are even more competitive for longer periods, compared to 2022-2023, despite not yet converting that to more wins. And the key to that has been being able to sustain pressure and maintain an attacking threat, which Luai is expected to provide.

It's different for a young and modest team when there isn't continual pressure on us, and pressure is alleviated by keeping the ball (which we are doing) and turning possession into points (which Luai was signed to help).

Thoughtful post, thanks.

Didn’t this guy play with us in lower grades ?

Yeah, but he seems to have been off the gear for awhile as has Nado.

I wonder if GI is still helping JB?

It seems to have damaged his brain, as he is one of the dumbest players in the comp.

Has his moments.

How good was Jerome tonight??!

Fk he’s a footballer’s footballer.

I couldn’t think of a better signing atm.

 

[weststigers]

I've always thought Tass was decent with his best footy ahead of him. Has a good well rounded game that I can see maturing well a
Into an above average NRL centre.

Would be a handy signing to replace Naden

He'd definitely lift our cup side. Those guys have been struggling worse than firsts.

Has to be considered one of the form players in the comp. If not, THE form player.

 

[balmain boy]

He’s a slower version of Brent Naden, please no.

Surely he doesn't have anywhere near as many brain explosions as Naden. Haven't seen a lot of him but if he was getting sent off once a month is think I'd know him

I agree, he’s playing intelligent, tough footy and his game management has improved leaps and bounds since Cleary got injured.
The ‘smug one’ is blessed to be playing along side him next year!

Yeah, I’ve been looking for the word. Smug, that’s the look I keep seeing.

Truth....

Funny thing is,
The pack is better than it's been in 10 years now, But somehow that was the halfbacks fault?

Yes.. hopeless

JL and Api, you can sense they love their footy. It’s not just a means to a financial end, they are right into every second of it.

Nothing fake or contrived about it.

I’m not sure every player is motivated the same way.

I mean you have to dedicate yourself and go through a lot to play fg. But not every first grader looks as confident or happy.

Wouldn't know he went to Newington college with
all the dumb stuff he does haha. Once in a while he
comes up with sum magic though. That sort of guy

That palm off on Tino was out of the Inglis playbook.

Not sure whether you’re talking about Naden and Milne but both have extremely low footy IQ. Both could be poster boys for the dangers of drugs.

Paying that much for school fees seems pretty dumb. Might run in the family.

Was Alamoti extended at the Panthers? Think he was just on a 1 year deal.

He used to play rugby, was on a scholarship

Rugby scholarship. Mum and Dad would have had a free ride

My kid goes to the local high.

Im going to tell him to try to stop studying ( when he’s off his digital devices) and go down the park and practice his goalkicking.

He’s a Penrith smug supporter, yes friends, I’ve failed him badly.

Great shame brought on the family.
