When we start winning again, hopefully next year, no-one will care if Justin and Lee are CEO and Chairman, or Deadpool and Wolverine are filling those roles. I think we all (most?) acknowledged at the start of the year that we had better forwards / hoped the halves were good enough (due to...

Could dual head coach set-up work for the Tigers like the Walker Bros for Ipswich did? Sheens back to Head of Football, Benji AND Holbrook both head coaches in 2024? Still shields Benji from copping too much stick, everyone gets their desired role and no egos get bruised?

It's along shot, but if the gods of footy have a sense of karma, it's a chance

2024 = 8, out in week 1 of the finals 2025 = 5, out in week 2 of the finals 2026 = 5, Premiers 2027 = 1, Premiers

Dragons won't be an easy beat. We do need to though if we are any chance of avoiding the spoon. I think the points differential won't be the issue. There will be a few floggings handed out before year's end; if we can avoid those we should be okay.

I think most players receiving the same offer from the current club or a different one will chose the current club. For Brooks, I think it got to the stage the equal offers would mean him leaving. Getting offered more, by another club, and for two years longer, made it a no brainer. This is...

He will go well outside DCE for a year or two and we'll cop all the usual anti-Tigers media articles. He wouldn't have been as good if he stayed and won't be any good at Manly either, when DCE is injured or retired and he finds himself as their main man there. This was the best decision for...

Player manager. Manages the Fainus, who we are looking at

He'd be 1 of 3 we'd need to sign. Trindall, Fainu and a Volkman/Walker/Chad. Wakeman has performed above his salary for us this season, but should be 4th on our depth chart (would resign him on a slight bump up).

I think if we can get the halves sorted for '24 he might just (retire). Say we sign Trindall (pending Sharks' release), Fainu, plus one other like Volkman, AND Benji says he's right to go now, I can see Sheens going back to his previous role and Benji starting sooner. All the WT media shows...

The cupboard is pretty bare at the moment though. I assume that it would be immediate. We need someone to partner Wakeham in the halves. It's not going to be pretty, but a specialist half is needed. I'm hoping we haven't totally written '23 off - not saying we can win many games with a...

Was jumping on here to suggest Gallen as well. Would need a "proper" coach to assist him though, like Mal had with Hagan. Maybe Holbrook, or similar, with current coaching experience, could handle the tactical stuff, while Gal could do the motivation/man management.

I think Fittler should continue to coach the Blues. It's not just the 3 games a year, but he does a lot of travel and promotion work too. Needs a better brains trust to support him though. No way should Turbo be picked twice in the centres - replacing him in both games pretty much stuffed the...

I think your counter-argument to yourself? has some valid points. I think Douehi may be finished though, so would probably exclude him from future plans. I also think that signing Hunt achieves these things: Gets us a controlling half, which we desperately need Demonstrates to the other...

With shit halves do we need to start playing Des-ball? Remember the way he had the dogs playing through the middle, due to their forwards being more skillful than their halves? A lot harder now without Api, but if we get something like that happening, might be a way to get off the bottom of...

I'd like us to sign Pearce as a lock. Get Junior Junior some lecky tape.....let's go! He can certainly defend okay and would have top level ball playing skills. Jackson Hastings x 10

I think offering 550K is good. If we offered say 750K and the Roosters 550K, he would likely resign with us. Hearing the talk around the two Manly players 'forced' to the Saints by their player manager, I think the same would happen here. 550K v 550K means he should go to Roosters, a team who...

I can't see the Roosters releasing him. They've had quality players in reserve grade, just in case, in the past. Keary won't go for much longer, so they'll need to replace him soon. I can't see them wanting to get two new halves. Theoretically, if he was free to negotiate, I would think 600K...

I think that was more using the opportunity to offload his contract to the Eels. I don't think it was about creating space for a signing. I imagine cap management would involve a fair bit of x% for position 1, y% for position 2 etc and we probably had too much cap tied up in props. Just my...
