I feel bad that I agree with him. There is no malice in his action - it wasn’t deliberate.
I can’t imagine going to work and being fined for a mistake.
The NRL want fines over suspensions because it means that there best product is on the field.
The RLPA only okayed fines being allowed...
He is a good administrator, funding for the COE, more investment from wests and financials of the club are a world away from where he started.
He just doesn’t know about football - thankfully now he has passed on that baton.
New tigers rule - if you sign someone a year out. Agitate as hard as you can for an immediate release.
It affects the club that they are currently playing for and players can’t backflip.
If we agitated hard for a release since round one and the storyline was Papalii wants out all year. Parra...
I think with hasting playing lock, in attack he will be playing first receiver, pushing the halves to second receiver either side of the ruck spreading the defensive line Hence what also appears to be a more mobile pack. I think the game plan will be very fast and attacking and looking forward...
Not all of them great, Moses, Munster, Hunt, Milford?, walker, brown, Hastings,AD, mmbye, Arthur’s kid, Luke brooks, Flanagan, Shaun Johnson. I’m sure quite a lot will stay but most of those guys are off contract 2023 and can negotiate Nov 1
I don’t understand why Laurie Daley couldn’t be a halves coach for us because his role on talking sport was a conflict of interest. (Show was sponsored by a betting agency) yet Phil Gould can be in an executive role, be on many shows and podcasts most of which have betting sponsers. Even worse...
I think you have either him or Hastings at 13 as a ball playing lock.
Hastings seems to be happy to play anywhere he is needed, AD wants to pick and choose. I know neither is resigned but I’d be letting him go if he found somewhere suitable.
I remember a lot of noise about brooks not wanting to play under Madge.. (first rumours of him going to Newcastle were based on it.)
I think the ‘Laurie for cover at 5/8” probably plays in with POMS post saying that if AD wants to hold out negotiations until after World Cup he has been told...
Well yes, with hindsight. But at the time He went back to Melbourne and at that stage cam was playing announcing his retirement in march. All of which is found with Google.
However in trying to be clever, you are missing the whole point which was the comment that at functions tigers players...

Well he implied he was staying by saying he isn’t going to Melbourne if cam was going to be there.(reportedly)
He did go and cam was there…
