I took a trip down memory lane and checked out some of our previous season threads that sit in the archives.
It’s a funny trip and worthwhile to read through some of the threads but I thought I’d make a list of couple of the popular topics below for others to check out.
Just reading the headings makes for a bit of a laugh.
When Kevin proctor signed for the Titans, one poster stated.

It’s depressing reading all the other clubs announcements knowing we have nothing much to get excited about. I know it’s a reflection of the former management’s decisions but geez They must have been worse than I eve thought possible. Just look at Parra and the Titans it makes me sick!“
But closer to home here is a rather relevant extract from the Luke Lewis Thread in 2012 which says a bit about the plight of recruitment always plaguing the Tigers.

It would be great for us to finally benefit from sheens being Aussie coach. Every other rep coach signs players from rep teams.
If we signed him, I would take back eveything bad I’ve said about sheens…unless he played Lewis at prop…which I shouldn’t even joke about“
Followed by (after the decision)
“20 Jul 2012, 00:18
He gives away too many penalties ……has shoulders that are sure to break down a couple of times year … he is passed his best … He is also a sook , who had cry and quite his job because his boss told him the truth …
Good player to miss out on I say …”
There was one article in the thread that stated Parramatta has a 4 year offer on the table with a role as a strength and conditioning coach to follow.
Lewis played on for 6 more years with Cronulla…
Other Topic headings to check out
“Sheens has lost the dressing room”
“Chris McQueen Signs offical”
“Wests Tigers target Johnson and Widdop”
(Just a couple of players that people like to forget knocked back Ivan Cleary)
The original “Dale Finucane” thread
“New forwards needed for 2019” (mid year 2018)
“Who is the best signing in 2018 your looking most forward to seeing”
“James Graham” (rumoured to of been be switching Places with Aaron Woods)
“ The Lurker: Never a dull moment in Tiger town”
“Rumoured player signings”
