Who is their recruiter?

A couple local guys who the club means everything to that are also popular amongst the playing group would go a long way to giving the mercenaries something to buy into.

Fair enough. I've never considered any of that when being concerned about which rugby league team I support. For the most part I think it is drivel (my opinion only). Having the tiger be symbolic in Chinese and Japanese mythology may very well be a useful marketing tool given the changing...

I think most contracts go to 2030 because that is the next predicted big cap increase. Combine that with players wanting to know who is coaching them and no player we have being worthy of a massive long term deal (which usually don't work out for the club anyway) then i don't think anything...

So why is it so marketable?

You keep saying the tiger logo is highly marketable. What makes it more marketable than any other logos?

Didn't they only play 3 games there both this season and last?

I'm not so sure. It financially doesn't make sense for HBG to abandon the Tigers/Leichhardt given the proximity of the ground to Wests Ashfield compared to Campbelltown. I wouldn't put it past them to do so but I think it is more likely simple incompetence than managed decline.

Agree but I hope they do. They've had a crack all season and don't deserve the spoon. I'm not sure where Titans are finding a win to jump us so should avoid the spoon even if Dragons go on a run.

I don't think it is so much an outlier (yes, it was a little bit statistically) but for mine it is more of an indication he has always had it in him. His last 2 years are statistically pretty similar when factoring for games played as his first 2 year at Roosters (both premiership years as well...

He was top 5 line break assists in 2015, the only year at the tigers he played a full season.

Nothing went backwards with him at the Roosters

Can't agree mate. Tedescos ball playing was very, very good at the Tigers. Any highlights package will show that. I think he did improve in little areas most notably setting a defensive line and repeat efforts but for the most part, skills wise, he was already the full package before leaving. Do...

Whilst I fully expect Bula fullback and Averillo centre I believe the reverse of this is their best positions.

His best position.

Shouldn't be. That side has over achieved if anything.

Roosters have shed plenty of big names the last few years, possibly more than Panthers. After this season Nawaqanitawase, Crichton, Watson leave. They've only added Garrick. Should have heaps of cap space depending how much they've spent upgrading others. Rep players that have left the Roosters...

Helps that they were off contract

I think it is simply squad depth. In most cases I think even raw these kids are the best option due to limited depth. Marshall is trying to pick the best possible side and unfortunately that means picking kids who aren't yet up to it ahead of blokes that never will be up to it. I still believe...

I agree with gist of this post but I think KPP is the only bloke that knows what he is doing completely. Sam still much to learn, particularly defensively but most turn a blind eye due to his obvious potential to become elite. Api also gets a free pass on here in all aspects of his game but...
