Isn't dominance of yardage pushing the opposition back the key to winning, a sign of a useful team, isn't that how the Roosters won the grand final, the Knights weren't in the Roosters half very much. I'd be happy if the Tigers could play that way all the way through a season, there would be a...

Where did I say to prioritise attack, my whole post was about defense, the point being the new recruits as a collective should improve attitudes as well as their experience level at defending.

@happy_tiger and @Tiger Stripes when we went on that winning run our defense was much improved, it wasn't till the horror injury toll it all went to shit and it kept on happening, changes every week preventing the team being settled for half the season. Too many inferior players coming into the...

Disappointing isn't it, when you look at our juniors there's not many props anywhere near ready, maybe Aho comes to mind. Should've been identified seasons ago.

Doesn't mean we shouldn't pick up another, preferably a young one coming through nearly ready for 1st grade, not necessarily a top 30 deal. Can never have enough props.

That would be very noble of you, not many on here would.

The argument being do they need all of it, a smart head would put surplus away for the future, resulting in less tax going to the government. Surely the players manager would be advising this, earning his take out.

Couldn't agree more man, do it now before pre season starts I say, that crap festering away is a disruption that will create unwanted media attention. The last thing you want with new recruits coming in, new combinations to be formed, it's a distraction we just can't have which the last 2...

I think your hopes of Doueihi moving to lock might be sunk quicker than the Bismark Jolls, think he'll worm his way back into the 6 jersey or demand a release Maybe he could be persuaded to play at centre but I'm starting to think it's 6, if he's going to dig his heels in then bugger off bubble...

That's the forum for ya, opinions vary, I will hold back judgement till he plays for us if he signs.

Hmm, concerning, if he signs maybe he can train with Tupou and get some tips off him. He found a way to shed the flippers.

Must admit I haven’t seen much of Schiller, have no idea of his defensive abilities, but he has some pace and that's something Skelton doesn't have. Who knows, the change of scenery and new defensive coach could improve any issues.

Yeah, at least Schiller has speed to recover a defensive mistake and get back to help mend his stuff up, with Skelton it's like turning the Titanic. Different story defending near the try line though, if his defence is suspect, run a million try line drills over the summer.

Do they supply the Silver Bullets too, HBG love that beer.
