Our Squad

[jadtiger]

I think the squad is responding well to the beer and pizza in their diet. Buckets should be congratulated for letting them have it on rare occasions and obviously it was the main reason taylor joined us and players are starting to re-sign.
Now where has my tin foil hat gone?

 

[pHyR3]

Since Elijah Taylor has arrived not one TRY has been scored on us in the middle third within the 20m zone..

been saying it for months and months

WE NEED SECOND ROWERS!!!

thank god management agreed and went right to the bottom of the bargain bin and pulled out this absolute gem in elijah taylor from reserve grade

he will be invaluable over the next few years

We still really need a good secondrower, ET is a middle third player and a good one, a good right side secondrower would be very handy.

definitely agree. but that was a very good start

let's just wait it out and use our dollars wisely. someone will come up sooner or later that fits what we need

 

[pHyR3]

We've struggled because our defence is weak
It all starts with defence steve

Spot on.
The name Gareth Ellis ring a bell?

i almost hate that name because it reminds me of back when our pack had strength and resilience. and it all start with that man as well as blokes like simon dwyer and fulton in the backrow.

good times…

hopefully ET can be our gareth ellis over the coming seasons 😛ray:

Gillett fits that mould perfectly but I can't see it happening

Interesting fact

Gillett makes more one on one tackles than any other player in the NRL

tig_prmz I think you are right, not too many of our team would be walk up starters in today's top 8 teams, maybe simona and nofo. Shows how much is going to hinge on our halves, they fulfil their poential and they carry this side, if not we die with them.

Here's my view:

Let Farah go
Use his coin to re-sign Brooks and Moses
Let Sironen, Halatau, Buchanan, Naiqama, Rankin go
Use that coin (and the extra money from the increase to the cap) to buy a strong back rower and a centre (preferably who can kick goals)
Retain JAC.

And sack David Kidwell and bring in someone who is actually a proper defensive coach.

Why do we persist with crappy defensive coaches?

think we need two backrowers and a centre, the rest i think we have. if we off load what u have above we should be able to get some one good. also fine gone and cherrington will be gone soon.

 

[Demps]

massive clean out this year….
we've been asking for one for a while.
we're getting it.

 

[tigger2010]

From what TT has stated E taylor will be offered a 2 yr deal,hopefully addo-carr somehow can stay not sure how that will pan out,im prepared to give nofa and kev until the end of the season to improve defensively otherwise 1 or both have to go,ballin looks good so far,if liddle is now the preferred choice for future hooker then cherrington should go to panthers…best for both parties,i would like to see us sign someone like apisai koroisau,can play both hooker and halfback,and a goal kicker,however now the halves have resigned cant see it happening.kenny edwards would slot straight into our 2nd row,hard running and intense player who comes off the bench for the eels,would be certain starter for the tigers.Other than these two maybe a dene whare or Will chambers both great centres who wont let u down defensively.Last of all Leilani Latu from the panthers another beast,size we need coming off the bench,and with tamou and grevshmul locked into panthers they cant play them all.

As Demps said. JT and Colleagues have and are making the big decisions. Therefore, they deserve more time in their current rolls. They deserve our support! I would hate to see JT shown the door, like he was at Souths. After battling on a pittance at Souths, money was secured for the following year to buy quality players. JT was excited, only to be shown the door. Go Weststigers!

We should target Kerrod Holland. He's only on a two year contract with the Dogs which ends next year and wouldn't be on huge coin. Good centre and is a noted goal kicker, which would allow us to focus on the backrow.

 

[madunit]

Good call

Holland won't leave doggies
