Who scored more tries, had more try assists, less missed tackles, more tackle breaks, more line break assists, more points etc. ?

So you would rather have a player who has more individual moments but we lose more, than a guy who is a team player and the team wins more? Got it

We have a diamond in the rough that most of us are overlooking.

Josh Schuster has lost 33 kg, is looking sharp, and has openly said that he's not interested in the money. He wants to prove his value and earn his way back into first grade.

He's only 25, and it seems he's matured and put some of the demons that plagued his life behind him.

There's no need for Fogarty or a veteran in my mind, unless they're willing to come on a minimum contract. They'll only block the pathways for our younger players.

At his current form, do you reckon he could slot into the halves where it looks like it will be Madden, Fainu, Doeuhi or Andrews?

Cut out the bullshit and just name the player.

Knew he was full of it, just didn't know the variety, thanks for clearing that up man lol.

You mean 11 day turnaround

Nah they’ll change it for us, to suit Perth or whoever else is more important to the NRL.
Yeah I was just playing.

I think you'll find that Madden was named in the reserves for at least half the wins of the first 8 rounds before Doeuihi got injured (for some reason they count that as a win een tho he didnt play). The next 7 rounds with Doeuhi injured, they got 2 wins with Madden starting.

Josh was touted as a prodigy throughout his time at Westfields Sports High and the Manly Sports Academy. Unfortunately, the pressure brought about depression and anxiety at a young age, which isn't unusual when you're dealing with that level of expectation so early in life.

He's definitely a work in progress, but considering how much he's growing and the intent he's showing, I think he'll play a much bigger role for us in Cup and could fill in with injuries.

I think Smoking Gun is making it up to be honest.

I definitely rate Te Maire higher than Fogarty

I think he's on the money.

I was told something similar by someone connected in the agent world but when the Cleary deal broke I assumed that was it. I was also told that if word got out then it may scuttle the deal so maybe we should stay quiet until it happens or not. I just hope it's a gun and not someone on the verge of retirement.

Another couple of options Cam Munster & Braydon Trindall.

I heard you missed me.......Im back!!!!

And as a welcome back gift, here is a nugget for you.

Tigers are deeeeeeep in discussions to bring a veteran halfback to the club but its not Jamal Fogarty. This bloke nearly came to us previously but his club stepped in to stop it but the world has changed in the last two weeks and all parties are trying to make it work right now. Will be a good result if we can make it happen.

Dennis has signed himself to play #7/Coach/Chair?

Win percentage only includes the games where you take the field. So Madden was 6/15, or 40%, as he originally quoted.

If you dont take the field it doesnt go down in your record as a game played and win or lose. Jock started in 13 games and won 6. Just under 50% win rate.
AD started in 14 games and won 5 at 35%.

He did say halfback though, so i assume its a 7. Trindal I consider a 7, but not Munster

Well then that would be a 10-20 minute appearance no?

So he was only on the field for a quarter of the game
