Out of these 2 Campbell would be the one we should have took if available , NRL ready and proven , sharp player , fast , good footy brain , good goal kicker , still young with many years left in the tank , he could replace AD and kick Javo is a good young up and comer but has proved zero compared to Campbell

This is the last I'll respond on this. The rates I gave you were RBA rates. The government does borrow from the RBA and also raises money in the bond markets. This is easy to fact check and I don't need you to lecture me in how finance and the economy works. I have multiple qualifications and lots of experience...particularly in the banking and finance sector.

I'm not talking about interest rates one may have access to from a typical retail bank.

The other stuff you wrote is your opinion which I have no comment on. I'm not interested in Keating, Hawke, Howard, Rudd, Gillard bashing. It wasn't the point of the original comment. I told you this was not a political discussion, but a financial one. This is not the place for either to be fair to the other forum users.

Yep not the place. 100% parking this.

Why would you even compare Campbell to Andrews? The kid hasn’t played a game, an off season, been on a diet, gym, seasoned in any way . Fark me give the kid a chance to develop. Of course he hasn’t proven himself . Sorry bud , but this is the kinda negative sepotism rubbish we put on young kids out of frustration. It’s obvious , there is just a lot of players and their managers that don’t regard the tigers a great option for careers, only if you want to be highly paid - making losing somewhat more bearable.

St George have bought older experienced players to run near bottom of the table. Cook, Gutherson, Holmes, Klemmer etc will all regress or retire. Flanno does it well however, time will tell if they ever improve. I wouldn’t look at St George as a model rather Canberra. They bought all junior reps over many years.

The Dragons were buying time when they signed all their old experience players as they have a heap of young player’s almost ready to fill their boots. Not saying they are on the cusp of being a great side, but they are building in the right direction. Flano might have plenty of critics but installs grit and determination in his teams…something we are short of

I’m sorry but I want results now , I’m sure you are not happy with the last 20 years of results , I’m not , so it’s time to buy a comp like the roosters do , yes bring in kids of talent but we need top class players now

I had a theory, (to go with all the other theories when tipping), that NRL sides don’t win or lose more than 6 games in a row.
When you get to this level all the players are good, and winning at this level for a month and a half it’s easy and it takes it out of ya team. Then it only takes a little bit of crack for the other team of good players to get on top.
Similarly for a side loosing, they are still a bunch of good players, usually playing poorly as a group, but then when they click one week, look out.
But then the Tigers had to go and ruin that and all other tipping theories with their record setting wooden spoon run.

Yep, but throw in a few forward passes for the Corey Allen TRY helps as well.

Nice rant.

My sole question after reading all that is - so what do you actually support ?

If you say ‘the jersey’ I’m gonna vomit 🙄

Wests Tigers. Common Sense really.
You know the N.R.L team that was an amalgamation of 2 teams that had failed hence why they needed to merge. Forming a new entity.

Saints have been great this year. Even though we are close to them on the ladder, they are far far above us. They have been competitive in every match pretty much. They have looked really good. They have copped some horrendous refereeing, There squad is not a heap better than ours but they get alot more out of their forward pack. There whole pack contributes (not just stats wise either).

Saints only problem is the halves not closing out games. They could well be in the 8 with a better game manager at 7. In saying that we have lost a fair few by only a few points as well. Titans game was the only game we got the rub of the green with the ref's and imo the Titans were robbed. If refereeing were consistent though we would come out way ahead there are atleast 3 games we've been dudded by stupid calls. It's just the ebb and flow of a season. Our priority is learning how to overcome the dud calls during the game and maintain mental toughness that they don't effect us when they happen.

No doubt, but when he was with us he was a liability.

Here are some of the comments people were making back when he was in the team.

M

Thread 'Marika Koroibete'

So it's gotten to the point where he literally just stands there and watches people score, Or backs up over the try line in defence.

I have said it before and I'll say it again. he is the WORST DEFENDER i have ever seen play first grade football.

I dont ever want to see him in first grade in our colors again.

Craig Bellamy didn't seem to have the same opinion.

Correct.
I find it funny that over the past few years so many of our supporters were so knowledgeable about what was happening behind the scenes and wanted to blame Lee Hagipatelis for our on field issues, yet he was our only backer putting his hand in his pocket to try and help us and now we are crying poor saying we don’t have enough money being injected into our football club side of things ?
Anyway today’s game is huge in to context that the Bulldogs are always trying to screw us over, we need to make a statement with our physics and intent and should have plenty of motivation to do so.
If we don’t stand up and be counted I think it confirms we will need to make more hard hitting recruitment and retention decisions than we might think is needed.
