Ricky would be pissed, they scored the first try, and thought it would be a cake walk. The Tigers defence smothered them,. A lot of the young players stood up , and this will put pressure on all positions, this is what we need.

200 passes a day, bagged. Defence bagged, teamwork bagged, coaching bagged. Early days, but they looked good. Klemmer, and paps showed the work ethic, and they followed. AD has learnt to use his hands and when not to run, and had a great game, The whole side dug in, congradulations.

8 th to 12 th, Tim ? I picked 10 th, and i thought that was optimistic . Still short 5 quality players at least. Maybe next year.

INSHALLAH !

No 1 - They have only started recruitment, more to come. No 2- Sheens said 2025, that's how long it takes to go from bottom to top 8. No 3 - The club has got 5 new players to meld into a unit,- it will take time. No 4- You are unrealistic if you think a brand new coaching staff, will turn the...

Api will be the playmaker, and Paps and Bateman will create more space on the edges.Brooks and AD just have to polish their passing and kicking games for us to improve. I would doubt AD hasn't tested the market, but he's on FB money of $650,000 and i don't think he had many takers.

BS , A one year contract is a lay- buy, not a purchase. If he had an agent , they would not go for this contract.

Good to have it finalised, fingers crossed the whole backline shows much improvement.

Terrifying !

It's a gamble. If i'm 24 and getting $650,000 a year, and the offer is the same for a 1 yr extension, i would not sign. I would shop around hoping to get $700,000 contract for 3yrs. That is 2.5 mill. If he gets moved to centre , his value would decrease. Take into account the short playing...

At 24 i think AD would be pissed at a 1yr extension. Most contracts are 3 yrs. I think that if some club offers him a 3 yr contract on his current money he will go. Clubs will be looking to see how Laurie, Brooks,AD, and Stains perform, before making offers, If they do perform the Tigers may not...

Sheens has stated 2025. As yet Brooks, AD, Laurie, and Stains, currently a big part of our backline, have not been offered extensions for 2025. You don't have to be a a rocket scientist to tell you they are on shaky ground.

I was not happy about us getting the spoon, but life goes on. What happened with Noddy as coach and the rest, I have no idea. I doubt the club and Sheens see it your way.

Doueihi and Brooks have contracts , and are here for the year. No doubt AD would be looking for a new home, the one year offer would not make him happy. I expect both to show improvement with the better pack, and Api leading the way. A happy camp ? Good teams drop players all the time, that's...

Demps, the only people who really knows the full story is the club, and they are tight lipped. I think we kept players that i would have let go, just like many on here. As for the spoon, most clubs have had it, get over it , we deserved it. Yeah it's all business, and about time!

Nofa,going hurt no-one. Lucy was not happy after his brother got the axe, and wanted more dollar. Mikaele has been replaced by better. Hastings was a good footballer , but too slow for a half, i doubt he will be a half in any side next year. These players were moved on to create space for future...

I doubt Sheens got us the spoon, the side was shot a long time ago. Judge the coaching in 6 mths. To get in the top 8 you need a minimum of 13 quality players, we are nowhere near that target. It will take at least 2 yrs to get the roster in shape.

The same is happening with Stains. Being a terrible side for so long has turned many into nit pickers, and others with unreal expectations.

I just hope Api is consulted in all aspect of the game plans. He has been playing with, and been one of the best for a long time. His knowledge will be a big help.

Look at the spines and the forwards in the top 8 sides, When coaching against them, you have to contend with 4 top class spine players, and a tough forward pack, Your defensive patterns are stretched all game. Now when a coach plans his defence against the Tigers, who would they most be...
