We've counted at least five major issues boiling away in the background that must be some sort of distraction for rookie coach Benji Marshall. In no particular order, they are:

A stoush between current and former board members that threatens to end up in the Supreme Court​

A push to ease veteran prop David Klemmer out of the club​
​
Former player Jordan Miller's legal action following his sacking for failing to turn up at training on time​
​
An arm wrestle with the NRL over whether centre Justin Olam can be medically retired, potentially freeing up $1 million in salary cap space​
​
The fight to convince gun playmaker Lachlan Galvin the club has a future before he goes to the open market on November 1​

Have we missed anything? Marshall, as his fights to prove he has what it takes to lead a club, has enough on his plate without dealing with these off-field dramas coming across his desk.

As James Graham told Triple M: "The Tigers play a lot of teams (early) that didn’t play finals last year. It’s the Eels next week, the Dolphins away the following week, the Warriors at home and then the Broncos before the Knights again. It's a favourable start for Benji's second year in charge. There's no such thing as an easy game but you'd look to build off that (draw). It’s important they get their game management right and look to close out and win tight games."

Have they missed anything? More like, have they found anything?🤣🤣🤣

is it a push or an ease of Klemmer?

What does a boardroom stoush at Wests Ashfield really have to do with Marshall any more than you or me?

Former fringe Top 30 player Jordan Miller's legal battle is even off Jordan Miller's radar. He has now taken up boxing.

An arm wrestle with the NRL? Tigers are following the NRL's policy. Can't wait to have an arm wrestle with Services NSW next time I go to renew my license.

The fight to convince Galvin the club has a future lol Galvin watches more Tigers footy than most coaches and defo this journo..Galvin's at Lidcombe Oval, he's at Camden. The guy's heart is in the club.

I doubt if this journo has ever undergone change. The list is always long and because of that there are always multiple pots on the stove. But it's not a a pusg, a fight, an arm wrestle or a stoush. If there's a plan, it is all about patience and consistency.
 
I watched Braith explaining his confrontation with Latrell on Buzz and Webster's podcast.
His version really rings true, particularly the part where Latrell tried to intimidate him but then was rattled when Braith failed to go to water and stood up to him.
It really mirrors what happens on the football field.
 
Paul Kent's podcast featured Clint Newton admitting that not all payments to players are above board.
Like I've always said, no player is going anywhere for less money because that would mean their agent gets less money.
I guarantee Galvin is on a better deal than we could ever have offered. Phil the liar admitted as much when he was pretending to not be interested. The sociopath confessed that Galvin would be the highest paid player in the game, knowing that the salary cap compliance is a joke.
 
Forward Passes
I know over time these have just got worse , old days your back line was back on an angle and all passes were pretty much sent back to the receiver as time went coaches float ideas to come up with flat pass , allowing the receiver more time to get speed up to take it or a sneakily ball close to the line , NOW. Bloody hell most passes are flat or forward , nrl has the tec to grid the field and let the bunker rule on it , it’s very simple and even Belinda sharp could do it I think 😁 if it goes over the line towards the try line your attacking its forward , hand over play on , and no it’s not hard as coaches will just train the forward pass out of his team , it’s out of control now with probably a good majority of tries having forward passes in them , Once betting is allowed on the game a forward pass becomes cheating

Who knows, Gould may well have got a kick back himself for getting Galvin over the line…
