2024 Pre-Season

[Tom Shines]

If the Tigers did this to their captain, it would be all over the news, NRL360, Buzz, Chammas and Baldy Hooper would be calling for an inquest, royal commission and they’d label the Tigers management and CEO incompetent….but..given its Gus…it’s crickets..surely the RLPA would be making noise…this guy has 2 years to go on his contract

Agree with all you have said…. But your mention of the RLPA is particularly spot on..

What has this player done exactly…. Stood up for some younger players that approached him for help?

And now he is essentially going to be hounded out of the joint?

I would like nothing more than to see Gus and Ciraldo fail miserably.

It's November, it wouldn't cause a big stir if it was us.

Christchurch and Mudgee for the trials and a bye week one. They’re really building the interest up…

We seem to be the only Sydney-based club without a trial game in Sydney. Colour me surprised…

 

[SeanT]

But just remember this is the time every year where we start to get excited and hopeful. Let’s just hope it’s a different outcome to previous years. Deep breaths everyone and fingers crossed 🤞🤞🤞

Lol who gets excited? We would be joint wooden spoom favourites with the Dragons.

We will get dozens of interviews about the amazing preseason and all the work they did then turn up on gameday and look like they just touched a footy for the first time.

Benji has no experience. This isnt gping to be a good year.

I find it very disappointing that clubs play trials at their home grounds. Every trial game should be played at regional grounds. The NRL show a lot of love for non league cities but the poor old country towns who play, support and love league miss out.

It should be one in all in thought. I’m hoping they’re on Fox/Kayo

Half these guys look skinny as shit.

Most of them probably won’t see first grade for a couple years yet if at all to be fair

A lot of flegg players mixed with cup … only noticeable NRL players I’ve seen is Pole and Bud

Was thinking the same thing. Standing beside Stef makes them look smaller.

Mainly out young guys we are pinning out hopes on down the track , good to see them get a run under Benji , January is when we should be full on with all back on deck , No Staines in there is a surprise , may be next week more turn up , most players from first grade have had 5 weeks off or so

Stef isn’t in those photos.

Still on break after playing for Samoa.

Yes I certainly mistook him for Stef, but when I had a second closer look I could see the difference.

 

[Roar_Power]

Anyone think Samuela is a smokey for a bench spot next season?

When Benji said ‘those who train hard preseason will most likely be in the team regardless of their age or experience’ he could have been challenging the likes of Samuela?
