Can only hope

Round 1 is shaping as the battle of two coaches whose jobs are hanging by threads.

Round 1 is shaping as the battle of two coaches whose jobs are hanging by threads.

Was thinking a week ago we would win that easily not now after the trial, the injuries and the Klemmer news.

Could be worse, look at rabbitohs. Knocks on wood. Also dragons losing their best prop just weeks out from round 1.

I wouldn’t be basing anything off last week’s trial. Or this week’s for that matter. The Klemmer news is a non factor

Wow they had a bad day never a dull moment in rugby league.

Wanted to see more out of that trial to have more confidence in forward depth Kit was the only one who stood out from the portions I saw.

Weren't we building for 25?
We're here.

Yeah I’m sick of “writing this year off” and building for next year. Next year never arrives

I have no proof mate but if he is going to saints think the swap is on with Molo, it makes the most sense.

Molos situation at dragons is strange.
He just rocked up to training one day and said he didn't want to be there and it was a surprise to everyone.
Maybe the fix was on ?

We are the NRL club with the revolving door of Head Coaches. Klem came to the Tigers because Tim Sheens was coach. Sheens coached him in the Kangaroos team so Klem was more than happy to come here.
Russell Packer was impressed with what Ivan Cleary offered as a coach so he joined us. Then Cleary jumped on the first bus heading west and Madge took over. End of Packer's input at the Tigers.
Until we can attain some stability with a long term Head Coach that players believe are invested in the joint we will always suffer from players looking over their shoulders or agitating managers to move them on.

True, Benji putting all his faith in this young pack he's basically hand picked. Klem's money and spot will help us in the long run ..

You don't think Klem would be picked for 1st game.

Not now

 

[Odessa]

I wonder how much $$$$ it will cost to offload him

Who knows mate it would be naive to think negotiations are clean lots of shonky stuff would be going on to achieve the edge.

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Not now

Another forward missing that's why the 1st game win confidence has slipped 2 weeks to go yet time for someone else to leave.

 

[jadtiger]

It should cost bugger all because he has already been paid for 4 months (one third) of his contract.So even if he is on his reported 700k he would have been paid 230k leaving only 470k for his new club to cover.

 

[innsaneink]

Yes, they didnt have their heart in it when it came to the team … and in Bateman’s case also stupid

I wonder why theres no heart, hunger desire passion and attitude?
Were just unlucky with ALL these players weve signed for a decade + I guess

Either there’s a culture issue, or the club is inept at picking out talent that has any semblance of ticker.

I think the issue has been our recruitment issues being a bottom feeder club. We can't attract the best talent because they don't want to play for the wooden spooners. We keep on losing our best players and not replacing them with the same or better.

 

[SeanT]

Yeh Klemmer this year would of been good. Next year I'm not too fussed.

Klemmer and Royce off the bench would of been solid. Royce with his impact and Klemmer with his stout defence and leadership

And that has been a snowball effect for over a decade.

Can’t be fixed overnight.
