I increasingly feel players like Twal are holding us back. I've always liked his consistency and I think back to our dark days when he was one of few who could actually tackle. But I just question his competitiveness. Just always seems happy to do his work, never fussed. I think a player who is...

Nope, I'm inner west.

Good on you for going to the game. Hope you do come to the next one. Atmosphere at Souths, warriors and Newcastle was excellent and comparable to Leichhardt. I go to both. The losses are sapping and deflating. Last night was bitter cold, bad form, more news of young players leaving the club and...

I'm surprised by those stats. I don't really look at them much and I guess I'm over valuing effort and enthusiasm. I just think he's really refreshing in bringing that to the team. So often wingers of the past look stuck in mud or intimidated where he looks really sharp and pushes through...

You see that with Skelton a little too. I don't really see it that way. In my opinion it's very hard to look good as a winger when constantly under pressure and never getting space and time. At the tigers, the wingers job is to receive the ball and get smashed, take a hit up and get smashed, get...

I agree with most of that. I would say he is pretty elite in play the ball speed, though. Playing for the tigers, we're always under the pump with no time when we receive the ball yet he still creates a quick play the ball. Other wingers around the league have the great benefit of momentum from...

See you at the next one then, hey? Let's get the numbers up!

Why?

We lack killer instinct. When actually competing for the game we go into our shell in attack. When we're down by too much we play decent football direct and fast. Then trying to get the go ahead try it's all this hesitation and sideways movement and passivity in our running. Doueihi...

If you rate TDS you sign him instead of Api. I don't think the club does.

Yeah, and what is even more surprising is that he's producing this mediocre form in mostly dominant displays by the Melbourne team where they have the momentum. He at least looked like he was top shelf on the rare occasion we weren't being dominated at the Tigers, and you'd expect that just...

And my last ABC related post (I was in the garden today) is that carayannis also said that while there's been no deal yet, that Bud was definitely not coming back to the tigers. People asking about the Jonah Glover rumour...I posted earlier that carayannis had said today that we were after him...

The ABC only mentioned Galvin's poor last tackle kicking, sounded like he didn't have much impact. Also sounded like a lot of inside passes and a few dodgy cut out balls.

Hey I actually have a rumour for the rumour thread, hope that's okay??? Carayannis on ABC said in response to a listener question that we're firmly after Jonah Glover from St George. Anyone know much about him? He also reported they see Latu as more of a lock, hence why looking at Reynolds...

Tigers are recruiting really well. If Taylan works out that's pretty much the backline sorted. What the club needs now is hard working strong defensive players for depth. A hard working defensive prop would be particularly useful. Doesn't have to be fancy.

Keon is much better than Stefano if you're not picking May because he plays for us. Stefano has done nothing and there'd be a half dozen props in better form than him for NSW. Oh well, we all saw it coming.

AD seems nothing like a lock to me. He has just about the world's slowest play the ball, seems to have lost a lot of strength and is not a strong tackler. Most locks, even the little ones, are hard running, strong players. I think we all like doueihi but if May works out he shouldn't be in...

It's a good signing. All this chat about whether he's up to it or if he'll stay out of trouble. But he's on a train and trial, literally bare minimum. We can't go wrong. If it all blows up then he gets released and we move on. Which other centre is available to sign to join us right now?

Big mobile young second rower who is a 1st grade starter in NRL on a team that has a decent forward pack. I think it's a really smart signing and he's an obvious upgrade to Seyfarth. He's the sort of solid dependable player that the Storm would be interested in. He may not always flash like he...

I like Adel's idea on the Wests tigers life podcast of trying API at 13 and TDS at hooker. I think attack wise Api would play that role well. Perhaps bring talyn on after 20 or 30 and play him for the rest. I feel we stifle our attack by playing very limited attacking big men like Twal in that...
