If we get JAC, Tamou, and Hetherington, we will be big movers in the comp next year those 3 will improve our roster massively

I'm with you but starting to get abit jack if the JAC saga. Just have a bad feeling about him and id rather move on from him rather than play second fiddle to souths or held to ransom by the storm, JAC aint the be all and end all for us. If we were able to sign both Tamou and Hetherington, that would put a big smile on my face and id be happy to keep our eyes open for other talent.

Tamou, Hetherington, Staines and Brandon Smith. Get it done.

If we landed The Hectic Cheese I'd pay my next 10 years worth of memberships all at once.
You had me at Bwandon :flushed: :heart_eyes:

"Potentially a bittersweet signing as Tigers fans may disapprove of anything to do with Ivan, but his talent is unquestionable.
I’m sure he’d be welcomed in with open arms, and if not, his play will speak for itself. It will not take Tigers fans long to realise that Hetherington is the real deal."

If this isn't the biggest loads of codswallop I've ever heard ill eat my shoe. I would be absolutely devastated if a player from the minor premiers wanted to join us

Sure is, Hetherington has nothing to do with Ivan, he was there and playing well in the lower grades before Ivan even came along! I wanted us to sign him 2 years ago when Hook was still coaching them.

I don't think it would be bittersweet.....it would just be sweet....I think the kid would have the fire to stick it up Ivan if he was let go

I agree mate, my ‘sure is’ comment was about it being a load of codswallop, not bittersweet.

Can someone post this top secret article.

Sorry mate do you have top secret clearance?

Security is not a dirty word, Blackadder. Crevice is a dirty word, but not security.

Hetherington better than Garner. I say YES. We need an enforcer and nutcase in our pack. I will be happy to do the round trip to pick up Hetherington from Penrith drop off at Concord than drive Garner to Manly. Even have fish and chips for dinner before driving home with a huge smile on my face. JAC better not turn out to be another Latrell case.

Maybe garner Out for us to get hetherington?

Maybe there is nothing new to report...we already know about Tamou signing.

Take Packer with you 2 for 1 deal, plus a set of steak knives.

AFB seems to have kept his nose clean after an incident when he was 19 and I hear he is a good family man from people down here who know him better than me. I saw Dylan Walker, wife and son at the Mall yesterday and they looked like a happy family. People make mistakes, it's how they learn from them that matters
Vaccinations are a personal issue, if you want to take them good luck to you, if not that's fine too, I don't label people who's personal choice differs from mine
Good luck to AFB I say, great player who deserves better than some of the comments here

Players wanted him gone. He's a kook and divides the playing group. Half baked preacher who doesn't know when to stop and Des didn't like him.

Garners biggest problem is effort on effort. He simply doesn’t dig deep enough and I’m sure thats what Madge doesn’t like. His work rate is low compared to the better edge players around. If he could somehow pull his finger out he could be something, but i think that’s a trait players either have or they don’t - and certainly they don’t develop it at the Tigers currently.

hit the nail on the head there

as fans, we tend to focus on the guys who run hard and tackle hard which is obviously a major part of it but you can't do that until you're actually in the position. That's something coaches like Robinson, Bellamy and Madge focus on when you listen to their pressers. It's about putting yourself in the position each and every play. The second, third and fourth effort. Again, look at Grant saving the kick back inside agains the Rabbitohs or setting up the try with a THIRD effort against Manly.

With the faster game, this becomes even more important.

Any word on Staines/Burton TB?

I haven't seen much lower grade footy for quite some time, would those that have say that Kei is a better prospect than Talau?

When he came from Parra, good judges reckoned he was a better signing than Stefano.

hey mate, you heard anything new on the recruitment front?

The big Simpkins kid from the Cowboys seems to be the hot deal, Cows want to keep him but WT's are offering more. He's in NZ though so the talks are protracted but we're keen. He's big but he's green and still has a bit to learn. Burton from Penrith was almost a done deal until Bulldogs joined the race. Panthers are prepared to let him go as there was a lot of interest which they can't match once his contract is up next year. WT thought they had him but dogs and others started asking questions.

I think the Staines thing is going to go on for a while. He's the same price as JAC! Good luck to him. Burton has become hot property. We're in the race, but so are a few others all of a sudden. It was almost a done deal until two weeks ago. Let's hope Tamou has some influence.
