Forum wishful thinking again. "Hey, if you're letting [good player] go maybe we can sweeten the deal by having you take the contract of [bad player] off our hands at the same time. It's a win-win (for us)."

I would have thought the last thing we'd want is for anyone to see him play. He took about $50k a year off his market value with every first grade appearance last season. :eek:

I don't think we're going to be a major player in free agency ahead of next season. We've only really got Klemmer coming off the books (plus Naden, but he won't be on much, and a bunch of minimum salary backups) and his money has to go to Galvin - or at least we should all be praying it does...

Bloody hell an actually interesting and insightful comment from Brian Fletcher. Now I've seen it all.

Mr A Roster-Spot

Twice in a row Sheens has exited with the going away present of a four-year albatross contract for an edge back row forward who never delivers anything.

I think there are two points from the Tigers: 1) We're trying to build a new culture here and we're asking players to step up and demonstrate effort. There may only be one day of training before the Christmas break and we can't force you to do extra over the holiday, but you can see a number of...

I think you might be overstating his influence on the average 20-odd year old NRL player mate. I doubt many of them are going to collapse in a heap if we start the season poorly because they're worried about not living up to Gus Gould's expectations. Sometimes people just say things because...

Jeez that's a bit on the nose re Papenhuyzen.

Pushing hard for Theresa for 2026 I'm hearing.

I didn't say Burton was no good, I said I'd rather have Luai or Galvin. Would you not?

I said I wansn't absolutely sure, over the next two years. I think Burton will probably be better than Fainu in 2025, but by 2026 I'm much less sure. To be fair, that's an optimistic take - I really like the look of Fainu. But whatever, I'll concede the point - their best is a safer pick than...

Papenhuyzen is excellent if fit - which is a massive "if" at this stage. Burton is ok but hardly a game changing creative force. Mahoney is a tackling machine with almost no attacking spark. Hunt might have a year left as a better than average NRL half, but his form in 2024 suggests he also...

I’m not sure why this needs to be spelled out, but anyway: the single thing this Penrith team is most famous for is that its outside backs do a lot of the hard yards bringing the ball out of defence, thus leaving their forwards fresh for defensive work and attacking closer to the line.

Well you know what they say: you can't build your dreams, on suspicious minds.

Oh come on, you can't possibly not understand this, can you? The Roosters are finding it easy to offload May because other clubs want him. The Tigers can't gtet rid of Sullivan, Naden and Bateman because there is no interest in taking them, or at least not for anything like what their contracts...

Have you watched any football in the last four years?

We should try to get the bloke who's coaching the Broncos, he could bring those coaching methods to the Tigers and surely success would be guaranteed.

Do you think he'll form a good combination with Sam Walker?

For me, the argument about what it's reasonable for fans to demand in 2025 comes down to whether or not you believe the following three things are all true: 1) That the sum total of previous attempts to rebuild the playing roster have amounted to absolutely nothing. 2) That having reached rock...
