Props and a Halfback

Reynolds from souths was a tiger junior why was he allowed to slip through the cracks

Because he was like 12 years old at the time.

We will be okay in a couple of years we have this years Australian Schoolboys halves pairing, both are very promosing players. Probably need about 3-5 years before they are ready for NRL.

I copped a lot of stick for saying Lui was amongst the best juniors I have seen come through. Although a total idiot off the field we are sure missing him this year.

I actually think Miller will make a good halfback one day it most likely wont be with us under our current coach who doesn't rate him. I think he needs a full year of NSW cup to help in his development.

Next year I am certain Anasta will play in the halves and his kicking game alone will improve the side. I hope that Anasta will provide a cool head and I think although a lot of people doubt him, he will be a good signing for 2 years.

I was fairly impressed actually. Best game that I have seen him play. Seems to go better when he wears the headgear.
 
There's a lot of player names being thrown about despite the fact that they're clearly under contract for next season. Yes I know, the old "contracts mean nothing these days" but teams aren't going to grant a release to a good half back or prop just because the Tigers ask nicely.

So, given that this thread is about signing players for next season, it's worth looking at the players who are actually available (this list is from zerotackle.com.au and includes off contract Super League players as well. I'm not certain how up to date some of the players are, so the list might include players who have recently signed new contracts for 2012):

**Halves**

Ben Jones, Kris Keating, Michael Parker-Walshe, Michael Picker, Aidan Sezer, Carlos Tuimavave, William Barthau, Thomas Bosc, Lee Briers, Danny Brough, Kevin Brown, Rob Burrow, Ryan Carr, Rangi Chase, Dane Chisholm, Thomas Coyle, Danny Craven, Michael Dobson, Scott Dureau, Jamie Ellis, Brett Finch, Liam Foran, Luke Gale, Lee Gaskell, Tom Gilmore, Craig Gower, Blake Green, Rhys Hanbury, Lance Hohaia, Daniel Holdsworth, Richard Horne, Ben Jeffries, Isaac John, Liam Kay, Mark Kheirallah, Jonathan Lomax, Ryan McGoldrick, Danny McGuire, Joe Mellor, Jacob Miller, Richard Myler, Danny Nicklas, Gareth O'Brien, Danny Orr, Leon Pryce, Stefan Ratchford, Dan Sarginson, Brett Seymour, Kevin Sinfield, Matthew Smith, Tim Smith, Marc Sneyd, Adam Swift, Arana Taumata, Gary Wheeler, Lloyd White, Matt Wildie, Michael Witt, Kyle Wood

Most promising 18 year olds are playing NYC eg last year Sironen Nofaluma Tedesco Lovett the year before Groat and Miller. Why aren't these two getting a run if they are so good?

Where did you find off contract Super League players?
 
If we could sign two props i would go after Masoe from the Roosters & Dodds from the Broncs who are both off contract, as for a half who knows?.

All the names came from zerotackle.com.au:

Like many people here, I am not clear about Miller. On one hand he has talent, but one can say the same thing about Groat. I can see a lot of similarities between their carriers so far.
Both have talent, but unlike Woods, Dwyer, BMM, Tedesco, Sironen and now Marika, when they were given a chance (I agree, limited for both players) they did not show 'maturity' and 'we belong to FG' like the other aforementioned players.

Go Tigers
 
^^
I can't agree IBWT, Miller was never given a real go, a couple of games (not consecutive) and not allowed to play his usual involvement or positioning. He showed a lot of enthusiasm in what he did (actually scored a try from this) and did look like he really wanted to be there.

But Sheens didn't.
 
Sheens will never buy a no7 while Benji is the club. It would be seen as a backdown and that he was wrong. So I guess we are going to have to wait about three years till Luke Brooks gets his chance. Iam actually okay with it, I think 90% of our problems stem from lack of power up front and a paper thin defense

Agree. We have good go forward through Galloway and Woods. Ellis whilst he has been here has offered good go forward also, but with him being injured for most of the year, the Tigers "workman-like" backrow has offered very little punch, with Blair not doing much and Heighno only just coming into a bit of form now. Fulton is classy, but he offers skills rather than any real punch in attack.

The bench has been the other letdown, with only BMM offering any genuine line breaking ability. Hopefully with the addition of Pettybourne, Thompson and the promotion of Moses Fotuiaka, the Tigers backrow and front row interchange will offer a bit more go forward next season.

Benji has no doubt been disappointing for a large part of the season, but stick him behind the Bulldogs forward pack, or Souths for example, and I'm sure he'd be going a lot better with a bit more time to set up his plays behind great go forward.

Anyway, I think our forward pack next year will be a bit better balanced and a bit stronger.
