But starting his apprenticeship - so doing it the right way. He doesn't seem the type to want the exposure of head coach (maybe he does) but could make an excellent assistant coach and mentor. Nothing to be excited about yet but there is potential if we develop him correctly.

The Tigers develop a coach?
I’d like to see that.

British players on the move:

Morgan Knowles 28 yrs old .. apparently we looked at him a year or 2 back .. he has now decided to try apply his trade in the NRL .. coached by new Dolphins Kristian Woolf at St Helens previously are favourites for his signature .. can play 2nd row or 5/8.

Also Cooper Jenkins 23 yrs young .. (Aussie) .. currently plays for Leeds Rhinos has never played in the NRL wants to return home and have crack at the NRL. 193cm tall and 110kgs in demand prop in ESL has decided against resigning for an English club ..

Yes, who would have thought it. But things seem to be changing in Tiger (and Magpie) Town.

Just Bula, it's great because he's full time now. He'll be at the COE and around the players all the time now — he was only mentoring Bula 1 on 1 casually earlier so this is great news for the whole club

I got you Kaito so was more a phone call and chat kind of mentoring role.

The article mentioned we have gone on a signing spree for NRLW do we have any names?

Have not seen any names of new players arriving for the NRLW but have seen a few leave , Welsh left , Prior left , and now another has gone to Titans , Pauline ? Can’t think of last name , and I’m sure there was one last week as well got a mention as moved on , we run last in 2024 so it’s either a clean out of they are just bailing out , if it’s a clean out I’d include Kimmorly , he hasn’t done very well with the team and soem in that team last season looked way out of the game , no idea ,

How about your negativity? Why the “if”?

You can just say Tiger Jolls, we’re in this together. 👍🏻

I'm with you, but being inclusive as some are a little precious.

I taught at Koora School! It's just closed down last year- no kids 😞

I saw that on facebook i went to Koora school. Greg Ware was the principal at the time. Soo earlish 90's

I’ve been calling for a proper coach development system for a while. It would be great if we could be a leader in this area and maybe even one day have someone like Inglis coach through the grades till the NRL team.
There are some obvious issues like people being ready for NRL before you need them and they leave for other opportunities after we’ve trained them, but same happens with players, and if you’re good enough at it you get to keep the best ones. A bit like players. 🤷‍♂️

Noice. Two thumbs up for you good sir.
👍🏻👍🏻

What do people think of cup team, should we be expecting anything exciting or just mediocrity

providing we get a decent run with injuries in both grades, they should be running top four.

On the Tigers Website homepage .. under Teams .. all the team photos are now up including new players in 2025 jerseys .. but still there are Jayden Sullivan and John Bateman .. aren't they both off our books now as they have both signed with other clubs (Sullivan - Souths : Bateman - Cowboys)

Agree, they should be gone- but the website is run by NRL not the club. Maybe they will do a clean up just before season starts?

No air-con at our place. We live off grid, in a straw bale home, where it's consistently between 18° and 24° all year round. This heat is nothing like when I was a kid - even though that was a long time ago!

Wow. I've always wondered what those homes would be like. Thanks
