Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yeah I haven't seen much of him. Seems a better prospect than Tumeth who also carries a smaller frame. Tumeth out, Hassett in as a project player that the club can hopefully develop.
If he’s not ready yet , and may need 2 seasons to get to 1st grade, DONT sign him , we have enough of these , they will come good . We need to buy workers who can play now ,
 
Seems the writings on the wall for him I'd dare say hes one of the guys Richo had a chat with after round seven. I'm torn on him cause Benji just helped get his signature across the line last year, now he wants him out. I feel bad for the guy. In saying that though we don't need him after this year. Once Luai gets here it'll be him and Galvin / Fainu.
He was a bad signing from the get go. Not what we needed as a half, but some of his commitment plays were atrocious.
 
And for the Benji loyalists weighing up my opinion, my claim to fame is having a son who

A. Is in his teens
B. Supports the Panthers and
C. Enjoys listening to country music.

That’s not much right with b and c, but such is the life of us paid up tigers members.
 
and whats wrong with the teens?this whole thread is about who what when,no 1 agrees with anything ,but who could argue that the kids(1st grade}haven't put in n shined this year,while theres hope , smiley face.old has beenz on lucrative deals.Shirley,theres a better way
 
Lol.

Those close to the club know benji was doing the coaching.

But sure.

This is the same rhetoric when people said sheens was a bad idea and everyone frothed on the 2005 reunion.

Let’s see next year.

My opinion is Benji will be gone by round 10
I didn't rate sheens as a coach after 2010. He was showing signs that he wasnt up to speed with the way the game was being played. I also didn't want to see him back at the helm this time around.

I read “ surely” the first time and had to double take
 
That’s how rubbish our outside backs have been for a decade - we think ‘OK’ reserve graders are the ducks nuts…
💯 which of our back 5 would start at any other NRL club ?
Bula would come into contention to start as fullback at Raiders, Bulldogs, Dragons and Warriors.
Tupou who is leaving us would come into contention to start as winger at quite a few clubs and I’d say Staines would come into contention to start at a couple of other clubs.
Olam and To’a while currently injury riddled would both struggle to get a start anywhere else and I’d say Doueihi with his utility value would at least come into contention to be part of the 17 at a few other clubs.
Apart from them nobody else would be anywhere near first grade at any other NRL club, although I do think a coach like Wayne Bennett could possibly get through and get Naden to play to his potential as a centre/winger and he does have NRL ability when he plays to his potential.
With Naden on the outter we will need 2 NRL quality outside backs at the very least to give us any chance in 2025.

You need help mate!

Where was all this unhinged angst for the past 10 years under Pascoe and Lee?

That was more Staines than him, but he is weak there as well. Thought he put in one of his better performances in attack so far! Remember it takes time to adapt to first grade.
Best fit for best price currently - F$%#%%R%Y%ing easy equation!!

He can tackle - UNLIKE DOUGHEI!

Kids support winning teams dopey!!

When I was growing up late 70s/80s - my peers were Parra - Manly - Easts and Saints fans despite never living or having connection t0 those regions...

I would say your kid is typical - but given your posts I can understand him also probably also being intellectually challenged due to genealogy!
 
What angst I’m just telling it how it is, not through rose coloured glasses.
Show me ONE of your posts from 2-5 years ago - when Justin and Lee were flushing the joint down the shitter that was so urgent and critical....

FMD - let the club get back to equilibirum with a professional front office after 12+ years of mismanagement!
 
The roster is great, our fans could not be happier.
Are you on the same planet as everyone else ?
The NEW MANAGEMENT HAVE SIGNED LUAI - TURUVA in the past 9 months....

But you expect overnight miracles - like a toddler....
