Play either Rankin or Chee Kam in the centres, play Kev on the wing.

It would be a wise move for the Tigers to keep him. Hopefully they can find a mutual ground to make this happen as his professionalism seems like a much needed asset to the younger guys coming through.

Halves need to 'own' the team before they start looking like they should. It could be they are just immature. Or they might feel that there are certain other members of the squad who 'own' the team, and are not able to take control of the side while this is the case. To me, both look a little...

It seems we want him to be M Fix-It, but Elijah Taylor might be the best edge running option we actually have. Lovett has proven much more effective running in the middle. Same with Sue. Aloiai is an interesting one, but looks more a middle guy. Sironen could play that role if he ever gets it...

I think he has taken a few steps, just in the last month. He seems more willing to attack the defence now, which I think is a positive. He's nowhere near where we need him to be, but I'll take forward progress right now. My biggest issue with Brooks, Moses & Farah is the inability to generate...

Hope you are wearing your bullet proof undies, 90% of this message board are going to come gunning for you with that kind of attitude…

For mine, he's a winger who CAN play center. But it's not his best spot. With JAC moving on, I'd be looking at moving him back to the wing & shifting Rankin inside or playing Chee Kam. Both read the attack better, and won't expose the winger as often. Yes, Kevin isn't great under the high ball...

I'd almost agree with everything you said…. until, like last week, I see Kev run directly between 2 attackers, take nobody & create a 3 on 1 for Nofa. His reads in defence are awful, regardless of who is inside him. And it makes Nofa equally as bad as a result.

To be fair, Hodgson, Prince, Whatuira & Payten were plucked out of other teams reserves. The real development of the team came from the implementation of good youth players with them. Now, isn't that where the Tigers are now? Grant, Taylor, Alioia, Chee Kam, Nauqama - plucked out of other...

I don't want to throw any extra fuel on the fire, but this talk of Farah giving the Tigers the best service out of hooker is starting to sound like a belief rather than fact. I've watched every game this year for the Tigers & am yet to think the team is better served with him in the side...

I don't remember Kev having anywhere near the defensive issues at wing that he does at centre. Plus, he's a great runner from dummy half. Yes, he has trouble under the bomb at times. But you find me a complete winger with no faults that the Tigers can afford that is off contract- and I'll be...

This was unexpected given the rumours floating about in here. That said, rumours. Kind of says it all really. Sironen needs to work on his effectiveness in both attack & defence. And stop giving away penalties. But the talent is there. And I'm seeing the core group of this team wanting to...

Oh well. Move on. People getting twisted up over this kid- geez. Yes, he seems like there is some talent there. And maybe at Melbourne he will realise it. Maybe not. But I can tell you this- the Tigers will not fall because he left to join Melbourne. I think the Tigers best replacement for...

While that may be true in some fans eyes, again the "O'Neill is a team selector & therefore picking better teams" argument fails, because neither Brooks or Moses have been dropped under the O'Neill selections either. People want Mark O'Neill having a say in team selections to mean that JT is...

23 & hasn't been able to get a real crack in 1sts yet. Must be something missing. Can't see this as a huge loss.

Couple of things- Gould has commitments to Channel 9, might be why he is rarely in the coaches box. O'Neill in the coaches box does not automatically mean he is standing over Taylor. Could be they are using the week to week grind & game day to assess who stays/goes from the playing roster...

Tigers appear to systematically have reviewed the roster & are now deciding on who to keep on & who to move on. Very excited by the direction of the club right now.

That's just about the most unfounded remark about the coaching as I have seen in here. The "bomb to the corner" tactic is rarely over used by the Tigers. Too often it's ineffectual short kicks. I'm ok with bombing the ball. Those contests are 50/50 a lot of the time. It's when they are 5-10m...

Biggest addition to our side is Sue. The team needs his hard running. Grant plays better when Sue is playing hard.

I can't fault Kev's attitude in the game. And he's quite explosive with the ball in his hands. His actual tackling ability is quite good, but his reads are terrible, and coupled with Nofa outside him, they were embarrassingly poor against the Bulldogs. Given what I have seen this year, he's a...
