I know... 😟
Yeah. I think it was simply didn't tell the auditor rather than try to hide it as Tigers were 'busted' by openly discussing it in the media.
I can't believe how many people think this. Defence is the most nuanced aspect of the game and needs elite level coaching more so than any other aspect.

Well, you should care. You don’t just chase marquee players for the sake of it. Especially not in a position you already have sufficient depth in. We’ve been talking up Haywood for the last 6-12 months. Some have floated that he’s a future captain. Why block his path? It’s a 7 we are in need of. Not a 9.
I think to much is made of the success at the start of the season. Everyone seems to be happy blame injuries for our failures but not question the role it may have played in the wins.
Cowboys: missing Cotter, Nanai and Drinkwater playing with busted ribs was a passenger.
Knights: missing Ponga, Best and Brown
Eels: missing Iongi and Hopgood. Then lost 3 backs during the game and still scored more tries in their loss.
Raiders: missing Young, Sasagi, Savage, Papalli and lost Martin mid game.

2 of those games we copped a sinbin in which was the only time we looked like leaking any points & we had players missing too
the warriors game you left out was a great win over there

Awe, he still has 20 odd years left in him to win one.
Agree the warriors game was a great win.
As for the sinbinnings, well Eels was one of them. They scored the first two tries of the game before a binning had occurred. Tigers fought hard and scored the next 3, but only after an injury meant they had to reshuffle their backline. Yes Eels then scored two during the sinbin time to take the lead.
The fact that the last 20minutes, which included the 10minutes of bin time was against a patched together side missing 3 of their backs that started as well as their regular fullback, the sinbin shouldn't be an excuse.
Similarly with Raiders, were down by 4 at halftime. Not sure the bin hurt us as much as the injury (on top of their outs before the game) hurt them. Raiders notably didn't score any points when they were playing 13 against 12, or any points after. So can't use this as an example of a binning resulting in the points being leaked like you can suggest for the Eels game.

I care about the tigers being as good a team as possible.
Grant its one of the best players in the comp, period; not a marquee for the sake of it.
Successful clubs make these moves and win premierships. Roosters moved Pearce on and won 2, brought in Robson and DCE and won it.
Well, that and dodgy TPA's, but you get the point!

Can he play centre?
Could also add if you like Warriors were missing one centre whilst their other was filling in for their missing backrower. They also fielded 2 halves that had never played together before. And probably off their game a little, most likely due to thinking they simply needed to turn up for the win.
Oh and if sinbins are excuse they lost a centre to the bin.
But yes, I left it off because I agree it was a great win that Tigers looked genuinely classy in.

Harry’s not winning us a comp without a halfback.

Realistically doubt he is going anywhere.

The raiders only scored points when we were down a man
Again, we were missing players too for that game and didn’t score any points during their sinbin so the win had merit. It’s swings & roundabouts stuff
I think he is too slow.
