Wasn't the middle getting beat until Pole came on.

Also…it’s the young blokes that had us going backwards. I know that’s a taboo topic on here, but it is reality.

If, as reported, bird approached benji wanting to be part of this, that's a big plus too.

He heard of the $2m war chest and knows the tigers history. Likely thought he could get a big long term pay day

 

[Odessa]

Spot on Alex has been pretty good this season , I think he needs about 5 kg added to his size and he becomes a weapon , tries his arse off every game

Top 3 players every week for putting in the effort doesn't get a lot of help from the others

One‘s mind often has an opinion that the body can no longer complete

 

[Odessa]

He would make a good 13 for us , good defender and can ball play

In the centre's no where else forwards would break him in the centre's he creates space for others and defence is great solves alot of problems when he is on the field

Of course he did....

Might have something to do with his current club not wanting him,
and no other Sydney Clubs have money for him....

If he went to Roosters or Souths - He'd be playing for a couple hundred grand tops, And he wants more than that... Problem is, It would be much more.
Players that have been overpaid forever
- Tend to have clouded judgement when it comes to their place in the market.

2018 Jack Bird would have pissed himself laughing at the thought of playing for the Tigers,
I like him, Would be a fantastic Utility / Middle
- But he's no good for here.

Watching Bird yesterday, when he stepped and ran he looked as though he was jogging up and down on the spot. I posted previously Marshall may have met him out of respect because he did contact him personally.

When we had our best run on front row, Stef and Klem; we were down about16 nil in 16 minutes.
When they were replaced the Manly points dried up. Just don't understand why?

When they came back on Manly scored twice as well

I think Klem is pretty good around the ruck but Stef is lazy. Breaks are make through him often (and Pole unfortunately).

 

[BAGNF05]

Then come good?

Mason definitely improved as the game wore on. Kid looks to be very nervous which is understandable.

Re signings, nothing will happen until after November. I don’t think Horsborough, Hunt or Bird are the answer.

Some many clubs will be letting players go early as they do and be freeing up positions we would be silly not to wait.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

WT will be using this weeks Bye in prioritising to retain Galvin and Pole

I hear Richo’s made a couple of forward signings but isn’t planning on announcing anytime soon. would assume therefore they’re playing semi finals.

 

[das tigers]

Richo was just on SEN,only caught the end.Looking at adding 2 or 3 more signings.
Anyone catch the whole interview that could add?

Highly likely at least one of them from the Sharks.

or England. he’s keeping his cards very close.

Plus we have to make roster spots available or NRL won’t approve

Is that right though? I seem to recall the Bulldogs had like 33 players signed at one point towards the end of last year.

It wouldnt surprise me if Galvin declines an offer from the Tigers .. !! 🙁 .. there is some back ground noise going on ..

Imo they should talk to lots that are available. It’s all about building a relationship with players even if you don’t need or want them.
Later down the track things might change
Phil Gould has been doing this for a long time and that is another reason he’s respected by players
