Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tucker]

So you admit it's an improvement

get the pom poms out

 

[Tucker]

Lol guy has given us two wooden spoons bro

How many more you want to give Benji ?

Last weeks press conference Benji “I’m learning too as a rookie coach”

Which senior players want to hear that ? Either those contracted or ones we want to target? No player respects a coach that says “I’m a rookie”

He’s done man

I agree and said all this over 2 years ago and Ill tell you now, I was howled down on here for saying it.
However, we just cant keep sacking head coaches. Its a very poor look.

 

[tigermate]

honestly brad arthur should be our coach

We need an adult who has a strong work ethic that players admire

 

[Dennisspicer1]

Can we get Kiraz here ?
He’s worth double what the Bulldogs are paying him.

He may be getting double what they say they are paying him, this bloke that owns all the hotels has more than one good accountant

I’m with ya bro

But I think Richo knows galvin will be sign elsewhere come November 1 next year if we aren’t improving.

Benji has had last year, this year, and start of next to prove himself. Long enough. We can’t afford to lose our star juniors

 

[Tucker]

What about my plan Tucker, top 8 without a shadow of doubt ?

No.
However if we sign 7 established NRL players as you have suggested, we'll get close.

 

[Fish88]

On paper we’ve lost probably our three best forwards (Stef, Paps and Bateman) from a pack already getting dominated.

Hard to be hopeful for ‘25 with no sign of any replacements.

 

[TSP]

Bennett is going cenile if he wants that flop.
I’d be getting Thomas Fletcher in return, he’s a good young second rower who is from the Campbelltown region.

Cobbo in it deep apparently.

Another footy player allegedly flogs his girlfriend.

Never forget the that Lucy’s DV stuff was actually raised by a concerned neighbour.

And the recent arrest of the eels lady, shows the game at its worst too.

 

[hank37w]

So if we don’t shut up. they won’t do what they are trying to do?

They could always fall back on that as an excuse because they know the supporters won't shut up. 🤣

So you like 3 spoons? How many do we need to maintain our “look”?

Ps: Here’s our look.

If we give Benji 10 weeks next year before sacking him we’ve wasted another year. It needs to be done as soon as this season is over.

 

[Kaito]

Wow lots of starting team slots to buy, need 2x front row, 2x 2nd row, centre, winger. At least.

Horsborough, Schuster, Wilton, Holmes, Skelton, NAS
lol. Upgrade Johannssen, extend Pole and Sione too.
Sione will go from strength to strength now that
he's lost the weight and injury free (with his bros)
also. Pole + Sione is the new 1/2, similar games
good foot work, beat defenders. Need more I agree

If the 6 to 10 weeks for Benji are correct , bring in Arthur now , Benji is a shot duck as we will take another year to get going after the loss of players and maybe new guys coming in

Arthur is going to Perth apparently…

Id love to know what was said in that meeting.
To my mind, it was of an adversarial nature between Moses/Parents and Richo. It was strange to me that Lachlan was excluded. I reckon they got stuck in to him and Richo went fire and brimstone in return.
Notice he wasnt credited with changing their minds...Joey was.
The kid is on a countdown timer. I wouldnt be planning our future with him in it past 2026.

I agree, I agree.
Its a shit sandwhich.

I told you this was going to happen.
STFU!

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

one more thing
richo didnt tell benji about bateman until bateman was a no show at training

🫡 the initial crack in the wall

Richo sounds like he's a "It my way or the highway" boss
I

Shit sandwich amen

What really really really pees me off is benji could’ve gotten Wayne here next year if he wanted to do more of an apprenticeship.

Benji richo Wayne - no player would want to leave man.

Benji is all ego unfortunately… sometimes it works for him like 50% of his footy career … and sometimes it doesn’t .

If there is a better replacement now I’d flick him.

Brad Arthur maybe. I know Perth blah blah but Perth is not real yet.

The sooner we get a proper coach the sooner he can work with the young players a form a bond.

I agree galvin is one foot out the door which is why we need to do what we we can to turn the perception of the club around

 

[426Tlgerland]

Arthur is going to Perth apparently…

Perth have not been announced yet and if a Sydney nrl team popped up Brad Arthur would jump on it , 100% he would take over the tigers in a heart beat and probably do better then Benji , Madge , Sheens , Only need to look over last 5 years records , BA all though not great are better than the 3 pretenders

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

a few little dramas in the last few weeks
to elaborate

- the board is applying pressure around marshall, richo supports him, internally they want to see progression with our playing group and believe they havent seen enough this year

- the player market is grim, the competition is in a very transitional phase where those big name
players are getting older and those younger stars of tommorow have already be signed

- i think big nelson ends up here next year, no actual mail on this though

Nelson is one of those older players who is past his prime...sure we'll sign him on a 4 year "superannuation" deal
