You joined WTF at 1pm yesterday and you reckon you know @Tucker and the forum well enough to tell Tucker to "give it a rest".
Sounds to me like you may be a regular on here and you are now using another name for some strange reason.

Not the good eating kind, more the hard, wooden, trunky, kind. Hard to scale, and even harder to gut and fillet. Burns well once you’ve dried them out.
no blind mullet escaping the sewerage system? , Lucky the Hawkesbury missed it , we've had enough for a while. Blind Mullet happens . Power on

Exactly. that rat 🐀 and his rat manager mugged us off by creating this mess and I doubt he gets much respect for doing what he did.
We can blame the manager, but Galvin signs off on it as do his parents.
For a million a season, you can buy a lot of origin experience...best we spend our money on proven performers, not inconsistent prima donnas

So if we came 16th last year with an extra win, he would be considered a good coach in your eyes?
What's your assessment of Ivan Cleary this year?

I kinda though want some realism on Galvin...
I am not down with saying he is crap. He is only crap for leaving us and not giving the club a chance.
I am also not down with saying he is Amazing. We saw Bula at our club and the guy was crossing the line, scoring tries. Teddy got injured in his first year, second year it was clear he would be Amazing/special/etc.
The offers Parra and Bulldogs have presented, of 750k per year seem about right. A good player, a good player who probably wouldn't be at the same value as Munster, Cody Walker, Ezra Mam... but the next 5/8 behind them. I honestly don't see Ciraldo or Ryles coaching a better Galvin, we will see a 5/8 with the energy of a fullback that can read plays.
The guy will play Origin, but won't play for Australia unless there are injuries.

No other club is forced to give up its best young players as soon as they catch people's attention. Until the NRL acts to stop this kind of bastardry, the Tigers will only ever be a feeder club - basically a reserve club that's allowed to play in the top grade to give the lads experience before they go join a proper club.
No one in the NRL cares about us unfortunately

Should be transfer fees put on pathways players moving once they pass 3 years in the club system , Galvin at $ 165 with his potential and already played first grade nrl should have been $ 500 k ,,NRL have been taken over by the players association and are now ham strung , they the nrl need to get tough and if the players won’t to do the old we won’t play , tear that players contract up and throw them out of the NRL owned and run comp , start with Clint Newton dick head
I was thinking this very thing yesterday.
Unfortunately, this club has been in a hole that it dug for itself for a long time. To climb out of the hole, the team has to start winning games consistently and to do that we need a squad and coach that are prepared for a slog. For some time now we have been stuck in a loop where experienced players have come for the money but not the slog and young talent comes our way as a stepping stone on their paths to individual greatness. None have been in it for the team.
The light in the tunnel comes from experienced players in key positions that are up for the challenge, and embody a team culture. We have a few of those but clearly need more. We cant afford to be distracted by players with loser mentalities who come here to cruise either for the money or the advancement opportunities.
I'm not convinced about Marshall as the coach but from my perspective the overall coaching staff and structure looks OK.
The backroom management needs to be rock solid if this club is to succeed. I dont know enough about it to comment further, other than, it appears to be better now than it has in the recent past.
The NRL, Vlandys et al are not going to help us. Conversely they are busy adding teams to the competition and thus further spreading out the already thin stock of exceptional playing talent.
As fans we just have to accept what Marshall, Luai, and Koroisau seem to accept that it's going to be a slog.
