Galvin won’t be a 5/8 long term. Here’s a big call… we won’t see him at 5/8 again this year. Benji will see it this week. Our centres and second row will look so much better once they are not crowded.

It’s a littler more difficult one to solve that it looks on the surface. The priority issue for his development is less about the grade and more about him playing outside a dominant half. He is a running, creative 5/8. My opinion of what he needs … in order of priority is: 1. He needs a...

Bad, but not as bad as long run of rubbish we have been dishing up.

I am fearing the same. I am going to be devastated if he signs with us. We are not in the position to have $0.8m of our cap invested in Stef for five years. It is a pure gamble.

There is no way he ‘deserves’ a shot at a title. He’s been in first grade for 20 minutes. Beyond effort which is 100%, he is only doing roughly half of what a top line 5/8 needs to do. The hype of anyone who shows promise in our team is beyond crazy.

I’ve never coached a professional sport so not sure if my next statement applies. In a workplace it is important that people feel safe. People need to feel that as long as their intent is right, the effort is right, then they will get some grace if they make mistakes. We all make them...

Honestly I think they are just assessing cost v benefit. He is older than Latu (alternative back up half), costs the same and probably has roughly the same upside. If no salary cap, sure persist with him. I also believe he will end up a regular first grader. Yet, we have deficiencies at...

It is harsh. Yet, it is 100% clear. Sometimes mixed signals are the cruelest thing you can give an employee

I’m incredibly grateful for all of you who post genuine player observations on our lower grades. I’ll take any hope… even little bits… but I also like to hear game observations

This! 100% this.

I thought the red was quite good

3 - Pole 2 - Tallin 1 - Sam Fainu

My full time take 1. Bateman and Luke were terrible and arguably were the difference between the two teams. At least Luke got two terrible passes that ‘helps’ explain his part 2. Tallin, looked dangerous which is exciting but has a lot of work to do in defence. If you don’t see it, go and...

Annoyed semi… forum gold!! 🤣

Moments of despair and frustration followed by moments of joy watching adlib football. Our contact is pillow soft. Their line speed is non existent Stef started horrible and then decided to play… hard to understand what is wrong with him. Tallin… Tallin… oh my. Welcome to first grade...

I hear the comments for changes but for me this is the best form of accountability. In regards to some comments above… Naden needs to have no hope of playing first grade. We need him to go elsewhere. No mixed signals, tick! Stef comment above is how I see it too. Don’t give him an excuse to...

I honestly wasn't aware that he is a touch dodgy. That would impact my view tbh. There is literally nothing more persuasive than integrity. And yes, that includes money. Lots of research demonstrates being able to trust your boss is more important than what you are paid.

He will hear me. …as I cheer for my incredibly frustrating team. He will hear me …as I renew my memberships for 2025 I have more hope and respect for Richardson than I’ve had of any employee of the Tigers in the modern era. He is decisive. He is clear. He is honest. He is smart. He is not...

I appreciate all the emotion you are feeling. I’m a 15 year paid up member. Worse, I run three memberships to increase the support. I just say this to demonstrate that I get the emotion. And here comes the but. But. How could you be confused that the 5 mins he spends reading and writing back...

There is a deep insight in this comment. The Tigers are a club that for years gambled as a way of making decisions. Benji as coach with zero experience is the best example. But there are loads of others. They gamble that payers with a crazy amount of injury will have a better run at the...
