Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Doueihi will drop himself to KOE next week if he lives by his own words.

"The more I get close to the boys in these next few weeks and the more I can take charge of the team, I can sort of be that dominant figure and help pull some of these younger blokes in line and show them what the standards are at this club."

"If they're not living up to the standards that I feel and the other leaders feel are the benchmark, then they can go and sit back in reserve grade as far as I'm concerned."

Returning star's blunt message to battling Tigers

'Pull these younger blokes into line'

He has ZERO self-awareness!!

I'm going to preface this comment by first saying i wouldn't be a massive fan of it but. I read Parra might be looking to offload Matterson, aren't Matterson and Benji supposed to be mates?
We do need a backrower he is a backrower despite what we as a fan base think of him he's not the worst player that could become available. Not sure how long he's contracted to Parra but he could come subsidized, apologies in advance for bringing his name up in this thread 😳

NO!

What gave you that idea?

How do we know nas is on the way. Can he start next week?

Surprise surprise ...he is injured

 

[clontarfkid]

Worth a call, anyway.

Not a fan of Safiti, couldn't be any worse than Stef tho.

He wld be if he wants 4 years of the rubbish hes been serving up at the Knights....

 

[clontarfkid]

Well it showed us that Lobb isn’t capable of helping us anytime soon.
It showed Doueihi needs to somehow stop missing tackles, otherwise he’s too much of a liability despite what he offers in attack.
We definitely need two more good quality backs, where are we getting them from ? The more it appears we have to keep an eye on the Taykan May situation and try and sign him if he’s found not guilty.

Exacty where I am..Lobb and Douhi are integral components of our problem..we need better attitudes and committment in defence,or we go nowhere
U can throw in Stefano too

Thoughts on how we can overhaul the pack?
We can't rush the likes of Kit and Miller.
Need some genuine first graders to help Pole out.

8 Nelson
9 Api
10 Horsbrough
11 Bateman
12 Samuela
13 Pole

14 TDS / Latu / etc ?
15 Bunty Afoa
16 Tuitavake
17 Sione

How's that

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Douehi is a myth, point blank. Could never defend and is okay against bum opposition, should never have signed him for one more year.

His defence has always been iffy, to crap.................. AND IT WILL NEVER CHANGE.
He has had years to get it in order, and it has not progressed. Time to go!

Like it or not, most of who ran around last night will make up the rest of that team. Klemmer, Seyfarth, Staines etc

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Good old bellyache got us a good one there,and our idiots fell for it

What X-ray, MRI, physio expert medical team said he was good to go?

 

[Tiger Stripes]

You can’t medically retire someone unless it’s a new injury. Everyone knew his knee was cooked but we signed him for 3 years anyway.

Olam said he was OK. Our medical experts said he was good to go.
So it must be a new injury.

 

[clontarfkid]

Problems start with the coach..we havent had a decent one since Ivan left,who got us into 9th with a depleted big 4 roster.Overachieved he called it..and he was right
His successors are totally incapable of developing players..making them better.In fact,many have become worse under Madge/Sheens and Benji.
Additionally.there is absolutely no cohesion between the players..nobody knows whats gonna happen next..very few work together in attack or defence.Its not a great roster,but these are coaching issues
Were a complete shambles
Im expecting Benji to pull the pin before season end..hes clearly lost the dressing room after last nites vitriol.
Its over...

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I thought i'd read it somewhere earlier in the season, i could be mistaken. What makes your no so confident btw?

 

[Spacecub]

Dr Weekoff from Melbourne

They can sugar coat it all they like but he's definitely lost the players group, he needs to do the right thing for this club

This was always bound to happen once the season kicked off.

I think we get the bad end of the deal swapping Nelson for Stefano. But we'll do it on the basis of it sounding financially good.
