Post of the year.

This is the General thread on the WT Lament Forum

Tristan Sailor should make the list, his season was over

You have posted 319 times, mostly attacking the club and Maquire, so I do know you a bit. If you post an opinion on a forum it is fair game.

The average over the 6 players was very cheap. People that want to stab everyone in the back when their team does not win every game are very dangerous for a club. It is often used in the media and ends up sounding like the fans are calling for someone's head. You post quarter truths in the...

He bought and extended cheap players because there was very little salary cap and you need 30 players in the squad. That is a very important point that you are conveniently ignoring.

Melbourne have had to make big changes to accommodate not having a star halfback. They manufactured Cronk who started with a very simple game plan and developed slowly over a long period. Croft and Jacks were more traditional halfbacks but neither seemed to please Bellamy. They cut their...

I *need* more downvotes. There is a thumbs up and a thumbs down, aren't they of equal value? Is a thumbs up considered agreeing with a post and a thumbs down a curse on someone's descendants for all time? Why are downvotes limited!!!!

I have downvoted you 3 times today, apparently that is the limit. A limit on posting drivel would be far better for the forum.

He wasn't listening to the questions and it was not the right time for an announcement about next year.

BUZZ ROTHFIELD Dogs are in the hunt for every contracted and uncontracted player in the NRL and Super League. They plan to buy all the players so no one else can field a team. I don't understand how a salary cap works and if I make enough predictions am am sure to get one right eventually.

Matterson good when he played in the 2nd row for Tigers but great when he played lock. In round 21 against the Bulldogs he ran for 273 metres and made 41 tackles. It is a pity that the position that he thinks he should play and the position he is best suited for have never been the same.

Victor Radley, Jake Trbojevic, Isaac Liu all take some responsibility for deciding the point of attack and distributing the ball to a forward or half and do it a few times each set. Different team use different attacking structures.

I don't agree with that at all. Lock is a flexible position that you use to balance your team. I would rather have Taumalolo or Jake Trbojevic at the Tigers than Radley or Murray, but I would be happy with any of them. It is better to have a well balanced pack with some giants, some mobile...

I believe Tigers use a defensive lock because that is our biggest weakness. If we struggled to score points or wanted the halves to stay on their side and have the lock distribute the ball like Radley, Jurbo, Liu then you need a ball playing lock. Someone like Brandon Smith who is good in...

Brendan Smith has the same competitive hunger that Grant has, he is also 24 so still has some room to develop. Liddle at 9 and B.Smith at 13 sounds great to me.

If we had Harry I would let him control the middle like Cameron Smith does and put a half on either side of the field as the default attacking shape. A fullback who's strength is support rather than ball playing would also suit this setup. If we had Liddle as our first choice hooker, I would...

It depends where Madge rates Reynolds in the depth chart at 5/8 against AD, Mbye, Walters and Madden. I rate him dead last so he would never play. If AD is playing 5/8 that leaves Mbye and AJ as the current fullback options. There is much higher chance that Moylan would get a few games so he is...

Any particular reason? At the moment the successful teams have a higher salary cap than the lower teams. Last year we were after Latrell Mitchell, for arguments sake lets say his market value was $850k. Tigers offered $1.1M which is 30% over the assumed market value and could not get him...

It's much worse than that. Less successful clubs have to pay more for in demand players, more successful clubs pay less. I would like a draft but a less dramatic option would be to have an auction for off contract players, the player can still choose where they go but that club has to pay the...
