also,although Prince is a QUEENSLANDER,he is a NORTH QUEENSLANDER who if home was the real reason for him quitting the tigers he would have ended up at the Cowboys who were also chasing his signature

The earlier post about wests tigers breaking an agreement with juniors of 2005 is true. They were running into salary cap issues, that's when Fulton put his hand up to play a year over in England. This guy was the captain of all the wests junior teams that won everything!!! And we kick him out! Just like we turned an awesome center into a wide running second rower, then a prop on Bronson Harrison!

Whatever the actual situation is, I hope the side decides to get their act together at some stage and I hope any disharmony does not continue on.

My money is on you wanting this to happen so you could once again lay that ever-so-subtle slipper of yours into Sheens and Humphries.

If that's true then these blokes, including Farah, ought to man up and try being professionals. It doesn't matter what they're getting paid (personally I don't happen to believe NRL players earn too much, but that's another discussion) - the fact is they are professional footballers and have no right to be bitching and moaning about who their colleagues are. I've worked at places where my colleagues are my best mates and at others where I'm barely on polite terms with them, and at both I'm there because I'm getting paid to do my job as best I can. Sure it's great to work with people you get on with but that shouldn't affect your performance, and if it does you need to take a long look in the mirror.
If anything, my worry would be that the Tigers are too matey with each other. This season has shown that they certainly believe their own hype. If management has decided the squad needs to be freshened up a bit they certainly have the evidence on the field to back that up - and I include last season in that: for all the talk of how close we came the fact is we were only competing for "best of the rest" and the signs are that where a few clubs have taken another step up this season (Dragons, Manly, maybe Melbourne) we have stagnated or gone backwards. If Farah wanted to keep all his mates around him he should have tried winning some more games. You could make a decent case that we've only played well twice this season and on one of those occasions the oppo rolled over and died, and if that's the best the current squad can do then yes, I would agree that we need changes.
Incidentally, I'm aware I'm being very harsh here given injuries etc, and it is possible that the poor performances have to some extent been caused by uncertainty off the field. But the fact is that they shouldn't have. There are a bunch of players in this squad who must know the next couple of seasons are going to be their best chance of winning a comp, and to lose focus on that because one of your mates might be playing somewhere else next year is crap, quite frankly. I'm not normally one to either criticise players (except Beau Ryan) or to ascribe on-field results to "team harmony" (it's amazing how winning teams develop their own harmony) but on this occasion I really think it's the players' role to shut up and perform.

Excellent post 2041\. Keep in mind that Melbourne would have finished in the top eight still last year if they were playing for points, and were well aware their side would be torn apart.

Sharks are classics. They are a shambles. Gibbs has had injury concerns and John Fifita would have to be over 50 years old. They will sign anyone.
