Tigers actively looking for a top line centre as a point of need now (that’s from with-in the organisation) Content with forward pack.

Don't believe you. Most of your other supposed inside info hasn't eventuated.

Momo was a revelation at centre last year, and if you can believe Benji, Talau is the most exciting player at the club. Mbye is also strong at centre, so why do we need a centre as a priority?

Again have it all in written form. Can post pics if mods allow it

Post it, if it is a problem the mods will delete it

Oh so you are the smoking gun ? Said that you would post pics of mods allow it on that account. Hmm. Weird.

Madge - just block the fool. I have. Sadly quoted text still comes through.

Apologies

No worries! I have pills to stop me shaking?

Not sure why all the hate for you mate but I enjoy reading your posts.
There has been a lot of other posters on here that have inside info and it doesn't come true.

Need something to keep us interested in the off season as we cannot talk much about actual signings :grin: :grin:

Im going against the grain a little here. I rate Douiehi above AJ & Gagai but I dont think Douiehi is the answer and someone we should pay big $$$$

I think Douiehi is going to fall into that horrible "utility" bracket. Pretty good at 1 - 6 but not rep level at any. Physically he doesnt have outstanding attributes, isnt big, or lightening fast or strong. Again, pretty good at all. Kinda a backs version of MCK.

This club has literally survived setting itself on fire multiple times, now a handful of people want an amputation after stubbing their toe.

Seriously, this is only painful because a vocal few can’t get over it. What did you do to survive the merger, Craig Field and McGuinnes, Hoppa and Lamb, Prince leaving, Lui, tiger sharks, etc… I’m only up to 2012.

If you’re that sick of it find a new hobby, come back in March. You should really aim higher than being miserable all the time.

The signings you make and shouldn’t have (Blair, Ballin, Cleary’s crew for the money we paid) are what wrecks your cap. The signings you wish you made and didn’t, imo, at the very least don’t stuff up your future recruitment.

Finally, people who are all doom and gloom should look up self fulfilling prophecies. In any business it is very easy to create an aura based purely on unreasonable expectations, be they positive or negative. The more posts in the media, including social media, the more you add to the perceptions out there that "the tigers suck ". In my opinion we have over achieved to finish 9th and I wish I enjoyed that more about last season instead of being so bothered by the seasons prior. Even the fans don’t believe, how are we meant to convince anyone else? What’s more, when the club leadership is positive they get mocked by the know-it-alls on here with less than no idea. All departments are improving, football will too.

If I’ve offended anybody I’ll just say this. I can’t wait until we succeed, I hope and believe it will be this year, otherwise why bother being here months before kick off.

I agree, Douiehi is a gun.

 

[Ponyo]

They'll use Douiehi as utility bench cover. What flummoxed me is how they managed to keep both AJ & DG on their books. They've turned their attention to Jai Arrow now.
I'm assuming the contract LM signed has been ratified by the NRL too. Amazing

Mate passion drives this forum. We are all ridiculously passionate about our team. This leads to emotional investment and emotional comments. I love your passion and how you express it. But you’ve articulated the problem. We go from mistake to mistake to mistake. It needs to change. We lose every clutch moment. You can list all the achievements - front office ok, great coach, COE - all good. But we still lose. Always. It needs to change. And as a passionate member and supporter I demand more. All emotional with best of intentions. But I’m sick of losing. Aren’t you?

Steve I'm sick of missing the finals, however we aren't really losing 80% of the time or anything. We are often competitive and I look at our squad and think we go ok. I have been vocal about what I think we can fix, we need speed desperately. Despite being able to recognise and discuss shortcomings, I really don't think missing out on LM is a big deal. He left the Roosters, he is hardly looking at the club's prospects as part of his decision. This has been conveniently overlooked by many.

I'm also delighted we aren't chasing a makeshift fullback. We have 2 already, specialists only or wait for the right opportunity. Everything is in the framing mate, as I'm sure you know as you are much more experienced with organisational change than I am.

The negativity is often justified, buit in this case it is creating a myth about the club that will make the future even worse.

Re Doueihi...he would not be on a lot at all with Souths. Probably 200 or less.

And has two years to run.

They would be under no pressure to release him cap wise.

But....the issue will be holding back a player's career.

He is a FB / half and all those spots are gone. He also could set up his family by joining a team that needs a FB/ half and can pay him much more.

So Souths will have to look at whether they block the kids career path or not now they have no spot for him in the first 13.

What’s to stop Douhei do a Matterson to Souffs.......
