    Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

    Reality is, the more successful we are, the more popular our players will be. This is where the development of players becomes key. Luai, the May brothers, Turuva...let's say we lose all 4. Latu Fainu, Pole, Makasini & Tavana need to take up the baton. Then the guys in the juniors step up &...

    Tristan Hope #293

    Damn it. Now we have a Hope dilemma.

    LIVE GAME Round 8 v Raiders

    Tough game against the Sharks without Api & maybe Bula. KPP out would be another kick in the guts.

    Dragon coach

    Craig Young, former St George great, is on the Steelers board? Or am I reading this wrong?

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    Listen to Benji's press conference & his response around Doueihi. Why is he doing well? Work in the off season, focus on one position, belief in his ability- that's why they resigned him. You really think Benji is going to change that to fit the reserve #7 in? Doueihi to 7, Luai to 6.

    Team vs Broncos

    Looks good to me. Injury might manipulate that a little, but if May & Luai are back- that's the team.

    The Luai dilemma...

    Is Luai back next week? You don't drop Jock for Latu now. So I can agree with you there. But Luai walks back in, and Doueihi is the other halves player when that happens. Different take- we are not winning because of Madden or Doueihi. We are winning off the platform our forwards are giving...

    The Luai dilemma...

    Disagree. One bad decision, for sure. But he makes massive metres in those initial tackles per set. That said, I think Makasini takes his spot when we are at full strength. Doueihi is 6/7. IMO, the only player at the club Doueihi moves out of the halves to accommodate is Latu Fainu. And...

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    There were parts of the game today when the Knights were going sideways in attack. I've watched the Tigers hang off in defence in those situations for a while- waiting for the attacking player to engage the line. Today- I saw KPP practically hurdle a player to get to a Knights ball carrier off...

    3-2-1 3 2 1 vs Knights

    NRL.com has him 45 minutes & 169m Only Terrell May & Twal had more metres in the forwards- and May played 68 minutes, Twal 77 minutes. Pole was massively involved through the opening period of the game- not surprisingly, when we jumped to an impressive lead. 1 error today. No penalties. Weird...

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    No idea. What I will say- Tigers, Knights & Titans have come out in 2026 as totally new versions of themselves. This style of play is very, very different in it's mentality. 2026 Tigers enjoy defending- you can see it with their enthusiasm.

    The Luai dilemma...

    I feel like we should have a Seyfarth dilemma, just to keep him included. Poor old Seyfarth only gets 20 minutes a game. How's he going to keep his PM's 13 spot?

    3-2-1 3 2 1 vs Knights

    Pole. 16 runs, 169m in 45 minutes. And the fastest play of the ball in the team. Weird take.

    LIVE GAME Round 6 v Knights

    I wouldn't move Makasini out of the team yet. No real brain explosions, defence isn't exploited. And the head gear is gone. I actually think he's getting used to the physical side of it now. He might cop a bit this year & I doubt we see anywhere near the player he can be. But in a year, he's...
