Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Will he be available for the world cup?

Sounds like it as far as KPP is concerned

 

[happy_tiger]

Why ? Do you know him? Have you trained with him ? Been on the field next to him? Jesus , he has played origin , is fit as hell, can play multiple roles, hits hard , loves to win and has played in multiple systems .. exactly the type of seasoned pro out young nrl team need to show them how to win in the trenches in tough games .. won’t break the damn bank, I really cannot fathom the whining and negativity on here ..

Because if you gave me the choice of Mann or Frizell , you can only take one .....Frizell is 100% better than Mann

I'd argue Frizell and Manululea have been the Knights two best forwards in Newcastles finals run

We beat both those teams. And I distinctly remember the second time we played the knights it was a real disappointing afternoon because we should have and had expectations to win that .
My point is I look at next Sunday and don’t think “life sucks , we suck” but rather … “hey man we beat both those teams and are at least as good as them”.
This is a massive contrast to the last 3-4 years where I thought “shit how are we ever getting as good as these guys” .
We have the talent . We need to find a way to reduce injuries and manage the load of the team to reduce fatigue and performance drops . That’s where we fell apart . We need to figure out to raise the floor of these guys so that there’s not 8 games of 4 out of 10s but rather 2-3 games of 5/6 out of tens .
Thats on the performance staff . But we also saw last night , the best team probably since the late 90s broncos and before that St George , fall into a massive hole because thier 1.5mil man went down . We may not have a Cleary , but I’d say the cumulation of having 3-4 guys on the next tier down had the same effect .
This is going to to get exponential as well as the 3 teams come in and depth is reduced across the nrl.
I just refuse to wallow and pity. I’ve memory dumped most of this season . You take out the learnings ie. the talent is good , depth was surprisingly poor , and we issues maintaining across 27 rounds . Everything else is Individual based . Also AD can’t be in the halves if we want to win consistently.

We will chat again in September of 2027 ....hopefully we don't know the answer in July or August

Frizzell is so solid.

When his name was first thrown up 90% of ppl on here said no, which bewilders me. The guy is tough as nails. At 35 would be our best middle.

That's sad that are 35 year old is Tiger's best middle!

If that 35 year old was the best in the game you wouldn't care .....would you .....like Cameron Smith was ......and a fantastic referee consultant to boot

It's very encouraging that in our 2 games against Newcastle you'd have to say we were the better team. The first game was a caning and in the second we were very unlucky to lose even though we started with a pack that included Bunty, Seyfarth and Sukkar.
The talent is in the club, we were cruelled by injury and PNG announcements.
Add in our new buys and I'm ready to get that pre-season optimism going again.

So the Roosters will once again prove that "cheaters never prosper" is a saying that just doesn't hold water when they win next week. They'll trot out their Origin team, win a comp. and celebrate with the 10 people that support the club. Well done.

I see your point regarding our matches with Newcastle, but I really think what happened, particularly early in the season, is moot now. The fact is Newcastle improved a lot as the season progressed, we on the other hand regressed. It’s the end of the season that counts. If we played Newcastle again right now, they would lap us.

The Titans also beat Penrith when Penrith were firing and Saints beat Cronulla when Cronulla were on a roll too, also all moot now.

Well, that 10 includes my Cousin and his two sons, so who are the other 7?

I don’t think it’s a cop out. They’re the ones that hire the GMs and CEOs that in turn hire the coaches.

It also worth mentioning that the past 2 CEO's have had issues with them butting in and making decisions they shouldn't be a part of

The Knights turn around involved the whole playing group in its decision making process with a massive grass roots push.

Can you tell me what you mean by "grass roots push"?

Luron Patea, young prop at Panthers, given permission to explore other clubs even for 2027. Explosive young talent.

Now these are the signings we should be making.

Frizell is good but it would be a sugar hit, we need sustainability with some young talent

Just get both , frizell to teach the young bloke

 

[happy_tiger]

The poxy Wests Tigers version is hammy and lame.

Just pay the licensing fee and play the original.

Both versions are outdated and crowds don't interact with the songs

Like the Japanese Death March .....lambs being led to the slaughter

I don’t understand what your point is ? That it’s not gonna happen . Why even follow the team if you believe that …. Like what’s the point ? That’s extremely masochistic

They wanted more interaction with their Fans and overall junior base.

Can’t be that good. Penrith don’t want him and I’ve never heard of him.

Pathetic.

Luron Patea and Izack Tago would good gets for West Tigers.But do not rule Parra out.
