Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

They told ice that he wasn’t wanted moving forward for the rate he was on , and look around . So you’re narrative there is not true . Stef . Yep fair enough .
Everything you’re saying is what I’m saying about Benji though . It’s all known , but the “he’s shit and cooked “ , style narrative has zero basis in reality or facts outside of the wins and loss column .
I think gunner nailed it when he said this club has a bad habit of looking always down the road . And I agree with that . Hopefully this coming season we can finally make tomorrow today .
But there’s way more reasons to be optimistic , if apprehensive than anytime in the last 5 years . So it’s too this I say why are people still wrist cutting z apprehension and trepidation … sure 💯, but the constant chatter is not that .

Don't want to turn it into another back and forth but not wanting your best forward doesn't convince me he is making sound coaching decisions.
Anyways, I think we more agree than disagree. Pushing back on the "he's shit and cooked" statements is fair enough but most the comments I've seen are rightfully critical of his time thus far and his initial appointment. Again you are right to say he's here now let's hope for the best but hoping for the best whilst fully expecting the worst isn't death riding Marshall. It's just difficult to be optimistic when all the evidence thus far suggest Marshall probably won't be a capable coach.
 
We will end up with no further signings , but maybe we should jump in now and sign Lodge , he is the best that I think we can do and will be cheap . Our club is pathetic, should have had forwards all signed up by now . We will be back on the 5 year building crap over the next 25 years

As much as Ice cops it on here I reckon we're gonna miss him next season. Should have just played him in the middle. Yes he was unsure that he really wanted to come to the tigers, but you can't say he dogged it.

I agree with you. And i believe it was a poor decision to let him go, we were never struggling with the cap.

He played his heart out for the Kiwis.
Won’t be surprised if we wins the dallyM next year.

Lol He'll Disintegrate at 13. He barely played and got thru games at centre.

Bird played 14 games last season as a centre & 5/8.

And people on here want him at #13.

I think he upgrades our centre options dramatically, while minimising the damage on his body. It's Bird, Doueihi or Staines. I know who I'd RATHER have play. Well, if not Latu that is...

He was out of form at the time . But yea I agree , it was puzzling , I didn’t get it at the time and still don’t . Maybe they thought they had someone else ?
Or they thought Matamua and Lualiii would come on more ?
Maybe , they saw his value as an edge , which to be fair he didn’t provide much ? It’s not until we moved him into lock that he lifted his performances .there were multiple Adam Blair comparisons in the first half of the season .
