Been saying the same thing- we lack that guy who tries to turn the momentum for us- a big hit, line speed, not getting bullied etc.
You know who I'd recommend anyway.

May - Terrell going down , may just lift the rest of the pack instead of just watching him do it. Sarcasm is a form of wit, and so on
I think today showed we’re only a 2-3 decent signings away from being a genuine top 8 side. We seem to have the fight in us now and it’s pretty incredible to see the improvements guys like Luai, Turuva and the May brothers have brought to us this year.
We just need to get that last bit of grunt and class to help finish the job.
We’ve got too many players who are at the bottom of the 30/cup players in the 17 consistently. We’re one major injury away in certain positions to our season derailing with us depending on guys who try, but just aren’t there yet.
Our top 22-23 players need to be just little bit better quality, but it’s almost as if we go into the season with a top 17 and the players below that are either too green, signed on potential, inconsistent or pretty spent.
I’d be looking at a couple of players who might not be in the long term plans anymore at other clubs but could add something huge for us.
Imagine if we could land NAS, Leniu & Talakai and release Hunt and Bird.
Our forward rotation is instantly pretty scary. A couple of short burst forwards to give our big minute forwards a breather (which I think they need more of).
Latu off the bench into lock or hooker for a while to give Api a spell or increase our attack. Terrell is playing like a centre-field lock at the moment.
Imagine a pack of:
8. Sione Fainu
9. Api
10. Twal
11. Samuela Fainu
12. KPP
13. Terrell May
14. Latu Fainu
15. Leniu
16. NAS
17. Talakai (2RW/CENTRE)
18. Pole
19. Seyfarth
One of Twal, Sione Fainu or Pole would become a depth squad member and a much more reliable backup that doesn’t lose much.
And for the love of god can we spend the off-season working on our inside 20m attack.

Called it as soon as it happened, not cause i know anything about it but simply because his eye swelled up straight away. When someone goes down like that and they're eye swells up immediately you know it's really bad. I though his eye socket, but his skull. Poor guy wishing him a speedy recovery and see him next year. This last 2 months has been the best 2 months of football he ever played.

The loss was disappointing but where we are with the squad we have is pleasing. Next year we will be even better and watching KPP yesterday, he is a very good player. He got a little more ball and there was always chances created but the Knights just can't take advantage of them.

Someone made mention of the squad being better which it is however we still have depth issues. Personally, I never want to see Sukkar, Murray or Seyfarth play 1st grade again.

We really don’t care what you think Tito. Best form we have seen the tigers for a long time and that is a result of every player on that field 1-17.
A few missed tackles is what lost us the game and reason why defence is just as important as attack! Hang in their buddy. Hopefully Adam is ok and we wish him well.
Great player but gets away with stuff that a player like - Seyfarth for instance - is made an example of.

Nah you’re wrong Colonel Sanders. Those three suck balls
No shock just another week of Anusley showing why he is so incompetent just like he was as a LNP politician.

Tito, we just can’t have weak link fans like you in the club. You’re the kind of guy that only rides the highs and puts shit on the team on the low’s. We need loyal Tiger fans my good friend. Through good and bad times.
For the record, we can change half the players that were on that field yesterday and when they lose, you will be saying the same shit!
You’re either with the loyal tiger fan club or you’re not! Which one will it be? Take a pick

I don't think you can accuse any Tigers fan who has stuck around this long of not being loyal...

Someone’s on their high horse aren’t they?
Face it, those three wouldn’t play first grade at any other club.

He cost us a try bcoz he couldn’t see they’d touched the ball and should have been play on. 16,000 others seen it, I was in the bleachers my seat was 400klm away and I had to watch it through a tube, but I seen it. Still not the most inept performance I seen during yesterday’s game.
The next fkn DH moron that does a double movement and pats himself on the head like someone sitting in the back window of a special bus, should have their fkn contract shoved into their pucker-hole so they know the only place for a double movement is on the pocilean bus. Dumb as a fkn post, sorry pole. If that stupid prick is not playing reserve grade then he better have some very white hair. I would’ve hooked him as soon as it happened.
What is it about a Double Movement that some idiots don’t get? It’s out and out cheating, and you give up your possession, position, and momentum, all for one of the most obvious cheating moves right in front of everyone.
White-line fever I guess.
Sorry I get losing fever, which is why I try not to post so soon after a loss.

Agreed, you wouldn't feed them.
Man I hope it doesn't set him back.
Wish him all the best in recovery, what a nasty injury.

Leniu & Stone would be icing on the cake imo the value of what Ray Stone could bring to our pack is way more than I reckon he's on at the Phins.
