We have the money and need to go HARD at Finucane and Brendan Smith..
We need to get players that will change the culture of the club and they fit the bill.. Paying over = who cares as we just need them.

If Madge thinks Tpj is what we need than he is more dillusional than I thought. The guy is a myth. He is ill disciplined ,lazy and goes missing when counted on. We need guys that work hard with effort on effort 100% of the time. Players like Seyfarth even though he is still a work in progress. What is the fascination with bone heads and Madge. I hope this is just paper talk.


Disagree totally. Tigers have always had reliable workers and it has got us nowhere. Players like Twal, Tamou, Seyfarth, Ava, Suaso Sue, Garner, Woods, etc etc etc. We have always needed and still need an impact forward and TPJ definitely has that potential, as does IMO Stef, Mikaele and maybe Amone. Good pack has a combination.

All those guys with the exception of Woods in his prime ***are just role players.*** If we’re signing TPJ as our pack leader I’m afraid it’s another poor decision. The fact he’s already likely suspended for a crusher should be a pretty good indicator.

You hit the nail on the head. ALL of our pack, now and historically could be described as "role players". TPJ is not being signed as a pack leader. He is being signed to hit an edge hard, rip and tear and get an offload away, He is a potential impact second rower that can do damage that we have not had before or since Ellis.

Add Finucane too and I’d be all for it.

That would be a NO from me....he's a light of other days.

Needs to get his superannuation payout, somewhere else . Just my opinion.

Sounds like he's staying at Melbourne anyway

Only good enough for Melbourne. Not good enough for us.

Blair all over again - only good enough for Melbourne.

No. He walks the walk. I still have some hope we miss out on TPJ and go for Finucane. We need people that win.

Honest question, why would Finucane agree to come here?

We need to get players that will change the culture of the club and they fit the bill.. Paying over = who cares as we just need them.

After tonight I don’t think they could sign big name players no matter how much cash you throw at them. No player in their right mind would want to be associated with what was dished out tonight. Until the club are no longer viewed as a joke we will not get players

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

target
Brandon Smith
Dale Finucane
hopefully TPJ
Hastings coming
Oliver gildart coming

Plus ot's a start. Just need to add about another 8 players.

It'll be a miracle if TPJ is sweet talked by Madge to still come.

They could certainly use an airing of grievances

now that would be a great episode on the documentary

 

[DGilly]

Every problem we had tonight will be contributed to by the addition of TPJ - he is exactly what we do not need.

Lazy, ill-disciplined player. Did we learn nothing from BJ?

Not really sure that feats of strength would be their strong point

Hard to argue....

The problem is we have had trouble attracting big named players for years now and the ones we did get even though not big names turned out terrible E,g. Packer / Reynolds, etc...

We have done a great job getting all these talented juniors but it clearly shows they need leaders around them or they get lost and thats what is happening. We just need the 1st BIG name player to sign and others will follow and the only way that happens is to pay big money.. Other clubs have done it before and its worked so why not now as we have the money and alot of juniors not on big money themselves.. I would have no problem offering Funicane 800k and Smith 900k as they would pay it back in spades to the club and fans. They are winners and we desperately need WINNERS here

Maybe that’s why a few of the forwards dogged it. They didn’t want the competition for spots.

 

[cochise]

Is it possible to sign a complete new team?

Which fifita if its the one that went to gold Coast then I wouldn't be giving him the cash would have to be for someone actually like David f if it was Andrew I still wouldn't unless it was like him in his prime which we won't get
