CEO - Shane Richardson

[Tom Shines]

Do you think Benji has had a roster capable of more this year, remembering we were wooden spoon favourites and have debuted a record number of teenagers?

no excuses next year…. right ?

Yes our roster was better than last but not an NRL threat ,
Team Selection = API to half when we have a half in reserve grade
Bench = Bringing players into the game way too late .
Players = Can’t do 80 minutes as they are unfit .
Boys Club = we need to remove it and bring in fresh blood that are hear to do a job ( Benji , Robbie , Jonny , Heino , ) to much ,

I'm a bit concerned about the "boys club" look too. We definitely need a top class defence coach, none of these hangers on, Benji or the CEO have to start looking at these issues.
WE NEED A TOP CLASS DEFENCE COACH.

I’ll wait and see who we sign, our roster being a concern. With each passing year Benji & Richo have, that’s more time for them to fix the horrible mess inherited. If we’re not going forward, that’s when I’ll start to ask some questions.

I’d expect 8-10 wins next year if you want a number on it.

Yes I feel 6/8:wins this year was or should have happened , we dropped games we should have won , 10 wins next year should 100% be the target or up to or around 8 / 10 on the ladder , that would be a very good start with Luai showing the way , but we need more quality as he can’t do it on his own

 

[The Chad]

Putting numbers on wins...the team needs to catch momentum.

Look at the Bulldogs. They are not a top 4 team, but they are running on a high & winning as a result. The Broncos are going the other way. They ARE a Top 4 team.

Belief in what you are doing is huge.

 

[StarswithStripes]

Still pissing on about his CoE, did he mention when it converts to wins?

Nope. But he was talking Benji up and the change he would bring so I took that as a positive sign of hope 🤪

 

[426Tlgerland]

I hope Richo is holding back announcements until we have at least 2 signed on from NRL quality then come out with Tigers have secured the services of
xxxxxxxx and xxxxxxx for the next 3 years , that would bring some positive we badly need but we need it asap

Yeah he’s said he won’t release information until it’s confirmed.

The reason is because we don’t want to broadcast our intentions to other NRL clubs.

Of course under the old regime, we should have taken every step and done all such things and acts to publicise our intentions to sign a player in order to reduce interest by other clubs for said player.

Average annual tiger roster turnover is 27%-29%

We will see how we compare this year.

We honestly don't need big name announcements.

We need to retain the young guys the club believes in. And surround those guys with meat puppets that do the grunt work, take the hits, dish out their own & are replaceable by the next wave of young players coming through.

We have all the skill required.

We don't have the toughness to hold the opposition out.

Agree that’s why I would go after Hunt and Hopgood ,Dylan Walker , not stars but solid enough for us

They have been here long enough now to make good signings and improve the team for next year … they don’t get a free pass again next year just because their predecessors were idiots

Pole, Sione Fainu, Makasini & Rueben Porter would be priorities for me.

There's a number of meat puppets available to do the middles work.

A big human out wide who puts the fear of god into people would be handy.

I hope it’s more like 3-4 players , 2 just ain’t going to help us in any way , we have lost , stepho , papa and I don’t think Bateman will be back , there’s 3 and a centre would be nice

I was hoping for 7 wins for the season which would put us second last

Which was probably realistic until we lost Papali’i long term and Naden decided to replace his brain with a pumpkin.

 

[Suzie-Q]

The cattle dog from 2 properties down the road comes and hangs around whenever I'm outside doing stuff, don't know how he does it but he always manages to find me.

Best of both worlds, good companion and I don't have the food or vet bills.

My dog does this! I take her to the vet, who tells me she needs this special, restricted diet, which I follow for her, only to be scratching my head as to why she's gaining weight. My daughter's second job at the pub gives me the answer ... old mate from next door tells her Zoe's been hanging out in front of the fire at his place, cleaning up all his leftovers 🤦🏻‍♀️

If you think we’re fixable in 8 months you don’t really understand the gravity of the problem.

So how long do u want to give them 3 years 5 years , so let’s look at the facts , things that we can see .
Richo traded blore for a one legged olam
Richo told papa ur free to go , but no replacement
Richo let Bateman walk even though we had a small chance of avoiding the spoon
Richo , has yes stopped leaks , but for us poor idiots who support this ship wreck , not even a statement about his trip to England , did he sign someone, is there signings waiting to be announced, DONT WANT names , just something to cling to .
So how the hell are we going to think that nothing has changed , REMEMBER no fans no club
