People are always too quick to judge & always remember the bad more than the good. The way the forward pack has played, at times, suits players like Lovett. Yes, he's more a middle of the park guy. And having ET probably helps Lovett more as it means he can spend less time on the edges. If you...

Have to say, I now think JAC has to be considered every week. I'd keep him outside Simona, personally, until we are sure that the other side of defense (ie- the centre position) is solidified. I liked MCK out there. I thought his defense was solid- never looked over run. I like Nofa, but I'm...

I agree that there is getting to be a consistant rift between the top 5-6 clubs & the bottom 4 or so clubs. While the salary cap should make some difference to that over time- spreading the player talent- it's not an exact science & development of the junior bases & teams is probably one area...

I've been thinking about the Tigers since Sunday. Frankly, the biggest weakness in this team is the tactical kicking game. Ok, I should say, the most consistant weakness. It could be argued our defence is bad, or we don't get forward momentum, or lack ability. But that isn't an every game...

I'm yet to see players have long, successful careers based off the fact they are fast. It helps, yes. But he needs to prove so much more before you go paying him around $200k a season. Is he promising? Sure. But he couldn't crack the Sharks line-up & came here for a chance & hasn't commanded a...

For mine, Hodges wasn't in Gasnier's class. The Morris brothers are probably the ones I'd rate highest now, but for mine, they are wingers playing centre.

Agreed- the quality isn't there. Can't think of 1 I'd place even close to say, Mark Gasnier. I will say this, Tim Simona is under rated in my book.

Probably true in some cases. Still, that would make good old Michael Pobje a State of Origin player. Centre is pretty much a defensive position now. The talent is no longer anywhere near as strong as it used to be. If they can tackle & run interference on kick defense, you are 1st grade standard.

I partly agree with you there- wingers are now under rated in their importance. You can't have a 'weak' player there because of the importance of 'attacking kicks' in both attack & defense, but also because the wingers now play as extra forwards on kick returns with their runs from dummy half...

I wouldn't be too worried- Koro stood out when he was here first time, and we couldn't tackle & had Benji setting him up..

Personally, I'd be ecstatic if Koro came back. 90% of this board wet themselves at the idea of Pat Richards coming back. Koro is twice the player Richards was in his return seasons. If the Tigers had Nofa & Koro on the wings, we would have the best metre gainers out of dummy half in the NRL on...

High class player. That's a good keep.

He might be good, he might not be good. But I don't think I'll cry myself to sleep if we lose him. The over reaction to the potential loss of a 1 start player who is pretty fast is….well, incredible.

I think Fade To Black said it- the Broncos, Storm & Cowboys- when was the last time they fielded the same level of players in the same kind of circumstances? It's not JUST about talent. The Tigers, in my opinion, have several talented players. But, coming off 5 losses, their best player out...

I'll end up sounding like a JT sympathiser at this rate, but he's right. The commitment from this team this season, outside of that Canberra game, has been exceptional. For 5 losses in a row I didn't think "they've stopped trying here". Only last weekend. Could be they were just on a bad night...

A little rationality kicks in after a couple of days I feel. That was an awful performance, no doubt. The problems, as I see them: Both Brooks & Moses are targeted, and fail often, in defense. Physically, they are small, so the failing I understand. What is clear is that they need some...

Turning the back in defense must be contagious- saw Ava, Felise, Alioai, Sue & Sironen guilty. I thought Lovett put in, to be honest.

One player leaving that would hurt could be Nofa….

I often wonder if people post just to stir things up, or if there are actually people believing their own posts… This was one of the threads that made me wonder...

I hadn't realised Josh Addo-Carr was such an immediate superstar as to never contemplate dropping him again…. drop Milone, drop Rankin...Hell, drop Woods if you can- just keep JAC in the team. Whatever it takes, play Addo-Carr.... or he will leave to take up his rightful position of #1 winger in...
