Every contract can be renegotiated or paid out so it's just not true to say that the club has no choice but to stick with Sheens or Benji. It would cost them a lot of money to do so which reflects the absolute madness of what they actually did but we just can't afford to double down on a...

There’s not a chance in hell he will play a single minute for us. I hope the club are well prepared because this is going to get very ugly.

Clearly his plan is to alienate himself from the club and the fans so much that we’re forced to release him.

And there have been plenty of other examples of players debuting at 19 or even younger, Sualli, Ponga etc. The point is that we are pinning our entire future on junior development due to our inability to recruit established players when the uncomfortable truth is that every club is doing the...

Jeremiah Nanai is 19 and already a SOO player, the same age or younger than many of our great “prospects”. If they aren’t ready for first grade now then it’s unlikely they will be.

Don’t suppose it’s worth pointing out that this is Doueihi’s first season back after a second ACL injury and he hasn’t had a proper pre season for two years now. He was visibly emotional after the Newcastle game and it could all be just getting on top of him. Certainly don’t think he deserves...

I wonder if everyone supporting the players right to refuse to wear a pride jersey because of their religious beliefs would be as supportive if a player refused to wear an ANZAC jersey because he was a pacifist.

To be fair to Madden at least he knows he will be given 7 years and two contract upgrades before he needs to show he is an NRL level half back.

It’s almost as if the club are deliberately trying to antagonise the members and fans. I have no idea why they would want to do this but here we are.

We earned his respect when we gave him a first grade contract and a first grade opportunity when he couldn't get a sniff at his beloved Panthers. 100% commitment to the club is the least we should expect.

If we cop this sort of behaviour then we really need to throw the towel in. It would never be tolerated at another club. Can you imagine a Souths player on the lash after a Roosters GF win wearing a Chooks jersey? He'd be out the door quick smart. What happens if we play the Panthers in a...

This is not OK. I really like Laurie but he should be sacked for this. How can we ever be taken seriously as a club if we cop the likes of this.

He presented The Tigers with a roadmap to success and asked everyone to buy into it which they did including recruiting multiple players with this vision part of which he was happy to tell anyone who would listen that Nathan was coming to the Tigers. I'm not buying the decent father line, it...

Kent can stick his dewy eyed sentimentalism where the sun doesn't shine. He fails to mention that Cleary led everyone at the Tigers to believe that his son would be joining him at the Tigers while he was brokering a deal with the Panthers to break his contract behind everyone's backs. Cleary...

Measuring the success of the club using membership numbers is pretty meaningless unless it is broken down into the types of memberships being purchased, premium memberships against 3 game memberships. A far more reliable indicator would be revenue from memberships which never seems to be...

From the Lee H interview with Chammas: Chammas: What does this all mean for the future of Luke Brooks because it’s said he hasn’t enjoyed his time under Michael Maguire? Hagipantelis: That’s not the feedback we’re getting at board level. The response we’re getting is Luke is absolutely...

This is bang on, Brooks is just another player who looked great coming through the junior grades but never developed into an NRL player. The Tigers continual insistence of wedding the success of the club to Luke Brooks success as a player is bordering on weird. Any other club would have shown...

The state government will have to redevelop Homebush eventually, they won’t let it crumble away to a wreck, and that’s where our answer lies in my opinion. It ticks all the boxes geographically, transport wise and from a heritage point of view. It’s also close to Concord. I’d be prepared to...

Brooks was interviewed pre game on Fox. The interviewer, Parker I think, asked him if the Tigers would be going out to have a bit of fun today and Brooks’s replied yes, they would have some fun with the pressure off. With that attitude is it any wonder he served up that complete turd sandwich...

There's a difference between worth and value for money and when trying to recruit players the players worth is dictated by the market for that player. Any player acquisition comes with risk. For example, most people who say that Kalyn Ponga was worth the contract Knights gave him but if he...
