Klemmer puts in. He's just not very good.

If he is on $ 500 and to move him we pay $ 200/250 is crazy , Sezer is a maybe and a Latu is injured and needs time as this year has been injury riddled , I would pay $ 100 for him to go

Klemm played 150% better than our other prop , what’s his name Ahhh , that’s right useless Stef , shake the team up next week , we’ve got the spoon so mix it up
If Sezer s out
Bud to half
API Hooker with 10 before half time and 10 after for a break with TDS in his spot
Stef out completely
Nadan in on the wing next to Staines in centre
Klemmer. , Pole , Twally , Papi , Porter , Sam , Tim
see who we really need to move on

On yesterday’s effort Galvin can go. Can’t tackle to save his life.
The poverty backline was on full display again yesterday.
Staines and AD show heart but have some serious downsides.
- We should get on the phone to Reimis Smith & Taylan May asap.
- I wish Jnr Tupou would backflip also or we discuss who we could snare from Dolphins.
1. Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Reimis Smith
4. Taylan May
5. Charlie Staines
Depth;
AD, Feledy, Luke L, Toa

Douehi is nothing like Nofa,at least Nof is the clubs top try scorer of all time (WT Balmain and Magpies) and did play many good games in his career.Douehi has always been a terrible defender in all positions,certainly he has had 3 ACL's which does not help but he is just not worth persevering with

Oh dear! You made me spill my coffee! 😂😂😂
Yeah, unsure
Was expecting to see him play cup yesterday but some kid was there #19 instead.
Very good under the high ball.
I really doubt we see Tupou in a Tigers jersey again, sadly.

I’m still struggling to cop no signings so far , yes leaks have stopped but you would think if we are signing players who are looking at playing semi final footy well it will shock me but then I see why no mention just yet , but I find it highly unlikely players coming hear will need to be hidden away , Richo needs to Get Pole signed and announce it then if we have signed Tim J. Then announce it , get some positive out there , but we really do need a couple of names declared as new for 2025 pretty quick as we are just looking so bad at present , all negative media , negative results , Players leaving , players wanting out , Richo come on this is just rubbish and I see no improvement at all , leaks stopped is that cause there is no one signed up yet so can’t even drop one signing

For some reason people don't get how important defense is and having players who can hold the line.
It's not just Doueihi or Nofo. It's being able to trust the guys around you and knowing if someone is a little weak, to rush in.
We need a backline, we need a solid backline. Our defense sucks so we can't have any offense.
I still can't believe people wanted Doueihi back. He can't and won't tackle.

Faaletino Tavana was the young fella in yesterday. Played Jersey Flegg this year and has been pretty good there. He is known for his aerial ability in Flegg so it’s good to see it translated in Cup.
the enforcer.

The contact in defence is non existent. A major factor in any defensive systems is trust. Trust is built over time. I am not sure how many times we have rolled out the same left or right edge combinations. Its no excuse but the fact we are constantly changing our centre/ wing combinations really kills off building that trust. I really hope we sign a strong (non tiger’s connection) defensive coach. Its so important they get the staff right for next year as it seemed this year Richo had to roll with the punches.
No way. Galvin's defence will come good. These kids need time on the weights and their bodies will toughen up and their confidence will get better. Once upon a time these kids were eased into first grade. Our crap roster has forced their use earlier than we would like.

Is Richo on the phone with any player managers? I am so [This word has been automatically removed]ing worried about 2025, let alone an inevitable spoon this year. Bateman, Stefano and Papali'i all leaving and while they've all been underwhelming on different levels, replacing them with juniors who aren't ready for first grade will be a disaster. If you go through our lineup there is about 5 or 6 guys who are not first graders and wouldn't start at any other team. We should just fold

I honestly think galvin would make a good centre or lock

Just trawled over to the Dogs forum, what a bunch of wankers they are. But what I just thought about now, imagine the regret luai is having now signing for a team that will win 3 spoons in a row, over joining his mate at the dogs in 2025 who has helped transform them into a top 5 team in one year with a capable coach. Probably counting the money now...
