Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I dont think thats a game to judge. Dragons were always a massive chance to win that. I tipped them. Raiders have been flat for a while and just getting the job done, while NRL teams simply dont keep losing. They always eventually win. That wasn't Flanagan and Klemmer leading a team to beat Canberra, that was Canberra having the loss that has been coming and the football gods doing what they always do

I had a theory, (to go with all the other theories when tipping), that NRL sides don’t win or lose more than 6 games in a row.
When you get to this level all the players are good, and winning at this level for a month and a half it’s easy and it takes it out of ya team. Then it only takes a little bit of crack for the other team of good players to get on top.
Similarly for a side loosing, they are still a bunch of good players, usually playing poorly as a group, but then when they click one week, look out.
But then the Tigers had to go and ruin that and all other tipping theories with their record setting wooden spoon run.

Nah, they have no depth and they rely far too much on aging players.

Souths is strange...
They backed Cody Walker, who sure had been playing good for them. But they backed most of their aging squad. Punting Damien Cook, who ok is slowing down... the rest they have been unusually charitable.

I suspect Wayne may not have the energy for a full cleanout yet. He tapped Alex Johnson on the shoulder (how I wish we got him instead of AD however many years ago...)...

Meh, not our problem. We still can't beat these grandpas so we have to do better.

Out of these 2 Campbell would be the one we should have took if available , NRL ready and proven , sharp player , fast , good footy brain , good goal kicker , still young with many years left in the tank , he could replace AD and kick Javo is a good young up and comer but has proved zero compared to Campbell

This is the last I'll respond on this. The rates I gave you were RBA rates. The government does borrow from the RBA and also raises money in the bond markets. This is easy to fact check and I don't need you to lecture me in how finance and the economy works. I have multiple qualifications and lots of experience...particularly in the banking and finance sector.

I'm not talking about interest rates one may have access to from a typical retail bank.

The other stuff you wrote is your opinion which I have no comment on. I'm not interested in Keating, Hawke, Howard, Rudd, Gillard bashing. It wasn't the point of the original comment. I told you this was not a political discussion, but a financial one. This is not the place for either to be fair to the other forum users.

Yep not the place. 100% parking this.

Why would you even compare Campbell to Andrews? The kid hasn’t played a game, an off season, been on a diet, gym, seasoned in any way . Fark me give the kid a chance to develop. Of course he hasn’t proven himself . Sorry bud , but this is the kinda negative sepotism rubbish we put on young kids out of frustration. It’s obvious , there is just a lot of players and their managers that don’t regard the tigers a great option for careers, only if you want to be highly paid - making losing somewhat more bearable.

St George have bought older experienced players to run near bottom of the table. Cook, Gutherson, Holmes, Klemmer etc will all regress or retire. Flanno does it well however, time will tell if they ever improve. I wouldn’t look at St George as a model rather Canberra. They bought all junior reps over many years.

The Dragons were buying time when they signed all their old experience players as they have a heap of young player’s almost ready to fill their boots. Not saying they are on the cusp of being a great side, but they are building in the right direction. Flano might have plenty of critics but installs grit and determination in his teams…something we are short of

I’m sorry but I want results now , I’m sure you are not happy with the last 20 years of results , I’m not , so it’s time to buy a comp like the roosters do , yes bring in kids of talent but we need top class players now

Yep, but throw in a few forward passes for the Corey Allen TRY helps as well.

Nice rant.

My sole question after reading all that is - so what do you actually support ?

If you say ‘the jersey’ I’m gonna vomit 🙄

Wests Tigers. Common Sense really.
You know the N.R.L team that was an amalgamation of 2 teams that had failed hence why they needed to merge. Forming a new entity.
