Jimmy the jet??

Girdler is correct. We cannot carry two of these types.

If our systems were in place and producing fast young backs, we would not be forced to rely on Joey Leilua's and to a lesser extent Roberts. When are we going to see fast young backs promoted to the NRL from our juniors? I believe Maguire should be able to answer this question as he has been here for some time.

When there is 1 good enough to play nrl I’m guessing

And why hasn't our system being producing them as the Panthers, Brisbane, God Coast and Knights do?

Re Pascoe:

Some seem to be judging a book by its cover.

He's not quite as cool as Keanu, but I'd say Justin is clearly the Matthew McConaughey or Woody Harrelson of CEOs. Have no issue with his hair or attire in such a leisurely/casual meeting tbh.

Old old Iggy pop... Looks to be trying too hard

hahaha - or not trying at all.

 

[JC99]

If he couldn’t fight his demons at Souths with Bennett one of the best man managers in the game surrounded by top quality experienced players at a club who consistently do well and are very stable, what makes him think he’ll be any better at tigers?

Girdler made a good point. We have a risk in Joey already we don’t need a second player like that even for minimum wage it’s just pointless

 

[Russell]

I think boys unfortunately with Pascoe - he tries hard, he does his best, but he's just not good enough. I don't know who else we could get bc Grant Mayer was ordinary too. My business partner used to be on the board of the Sharks and they had the same issues too with the CEO - whole Damian Keogh thing.

Personally I'd be getting Madge in front of the players - why they hell are Pascoe and Lee doing it? At least Madge can talk footy to impress the player - the suits should only come in to negotiate with the agent for the $. Unless you have quality personell like Rusty, Uncle Nick or respected professionals.

Our admin guys should stay right out of talking to players. (Hartigan the exception)

Well Hartigan was there (no issue you say), Pascoe was there (issue) but..but... they were only interested in Jimmy's welfare, they were NOT there ti sign him. Lol.

Iggy Pop ? a much more apt description

Agree with Girdler and you Paws. Also...

"But speaking to people at the club they walked away really impressed with Jimmy and where’s he’s at and the way he presented himself."

He must certainly have turned his life, his mental problems and everything else around in 4 weeks. It was only just before that period of time Souffs thought he was a basket case and mutually terminated his contract. Nothing fishy there.

I agree with you both and BJ is here for another year at least so why do we need 2 loose cannons?

Not to mention the elephant in the room that Talau, BJ, and Roberts are all right centres.

I’d really like to see Talau have 10 straight games at right centre and see what happens.

Hartigan was there and Pascoe has a relationship with Roberts so a bit of a pointless post.

Why can’t they kick the tyres ? Seems to me , he plays well at his club for a year or 2 , gets comfortable , and wears out his welcome . You need reclamation projects in your squad. Cody Walker was a reclamation project . He’s good the last 2 years , and he’s bloody 30 about to turn 31 .

In this case Pascoe has the relationship with Roberts going back to their Panfers days. That’s why he was present.

Madge does meet the players. Tigers have a recruitment team, I don't think it's always 100% the same people at every meeting at every time point in discussions.

Exactly
Jimmy needs time away from the game
Souths release him on compassionate grounds so he can have time away from the game
The NRL except that excuse????
Souths get cap space and another spot
All of a sudden Tiggers are in the hunt for Jimmy

SO WHAT IS THE TRUTH
Why did souths let or push Jimmy out
If was able to turn around his life in 4 weeks, why didn't souths stick by their man

Something stinks

 

[gallagher]

They were impressed by Roberts? Lol, what a bright bunch we have running the show.

When there is 1 good enough to play nrl I’m guessing

And why hasn't our system being producing them as the Panthers, Brisbane, God Coast and Knights do?

The team that came last , the team that has half of Sydney as it’s junior nursery (also where a huge proportion of Pacific Islanders live ), the team that perpetually signs “name” players for them to a move up and snort coke of strippers’ anus for the duration of thier contract , and a team so bad in recent years , they went out and signed half the roosters over 30 brigade just to be competitive , and paid a 18 year old 650k , who’d never played first grade ( it worked , but the risk was huge ) .

Can we get some perspective please .

None of them are fullbacks . You can’t count Queenslanders as the broncos have first dibs with the storm , so yea , and who’s Reardon ? Are you talking about Deardon ? Once again that team came last . Katoni staggs is from Wellington near Dubbo. Cleary is the coaches son , so common man ! The newy boys , whatever , once again a whole catchment from Gosford to the border and west to Cessnock. And we do have some gun juniors coming through .
You’re so hell bent on overhyping other teams players . And signing them all . And completely writing off ours . On one hand , you talk about how best juniors have been poached away and are rep players , on the other you say we don’t produce any . PERSPECTIVE !

Gee I’m glad our coaching staff don’t take much notice of what some rocket scientist on here come up with.
If I was coach and had some young players with nothing more than potential on the roster (like we have) and players such as Roberts and Mansour are available on the cheap than I would definitely take a risk and sign them.
Yes 2 year max, and let’s face it if they can’t handle it they are both only one breakdown away from medical retirement so very low risk.
These Guys are first grade ready and alternative option to fill our roster with large % of young & untried at first grade level players is fine but don’t expect any great team improvement short term.

You want to buy blokes you know are one injury away from retirement? One that had been shown the door at every club he's been at?
