Yes sorry Talau should be dropped as well, Cini,Hoffman or cooper given a shot

Jeez that talau and or nofo swap for JAC looked good.

That crossed my mind this arvo i really should stop thinking about these types of things its bloody annoying.

Finucane, TPJ, Brandon Smith…they won’t make tackles for JTJ, TT, Nofo etc

Tamou is a little past it. Our younger forwards are better than him. The point is though that Tamou and our forwards in general aren't the issue. We just have too many players who are poor defensive players.

Nofo has been one of our best players for a couple of years but his defense is terrible. JTJ's defense is worse. I don't think I've seen a player make as many mistakes in first grade as TT. I think he has some talent and he could turn it around but he makes a lot of mistakes.

We need to fix our edges. It's our weakest area.

I have been surprised the past two weeks to how slow JTJ looks now. Opposition seem to pull away from him when a break is made.

Folks were whinging they wanted to see Robert’s in space ..
We saw him in space trying to chase down Moses ..
He ain’t got it anymore.

Perhaps we should play weakest link with the team. Who'd be the last man standing?

Seyfarth

I like him. Playing great. If I was coaching him I'd be telling him to make sure he is playing within the rules. I reckon he is pushing it a little because he is pumped up.

Our middle forwards are a strength but they were rolled by Melbourne and Parra. We can't compete with top 4 level teams.

I agree we need speed in the side and he’s still quicker than what we had but he’s definitely lost a yard or two unfortunately

Why would anyone want to sign here ? Genuine question.

To play first grade and win the comp. It can be turned around pretty easily with quality players. If I was a quality player it'd be really easy for me to sign up to the Tigers. If my son was a quality player I'd push him to sign with the Tigers.

Ok so you’ve just completely skipped my question. We can’t get quality players because we suck. I’d argue every other team in the league bar the broncos are closer to winning the comp soon than we are.

Exactly. Easy for a fan off a forum to say that

Pretty simple - playing first grade and winning the comp. What is wrong with that ? Honestly I don't see any valid counter argument.

But if other clubs want you aswell? I can see players come here if it's their only choice but that's no choice at all.

I didn't skip your question at all. I don't really understand your question. I'd definitely want to play at the Tigers and I'd recommend anyone to play at the Tigers.

I disagree with your assessment about us not being able to get quality players as well. We just got Ken M. Hastings has signed with us. Giddart has signed with us. Simpkins re-signed with us.

I think that we are in with similar chances of winning the comp within whatever number of years as most other teams. The top teams today like Melbourne and Penrith are much more likely to win the comp within the next couple of years but that can change easily.

Honestly I think the no 1 decision is dollars. So if the Tigers offered me $50 extra per week I'd go there.

You could not give any player about to sign with us a realistic window in which we win the comp

So your son, a rookie, gets offered $200k at the chooks and $200,050 at the tigers you would push him to the tigers?

Agree, there is probably a percentage of players that go for glory, but for the majority, it’s surely about the money and why not, they don’t have long careers.

Look at who the dogs have signed?

This is hilarious. So you can predict the future ? If anyone was giving me a realistic window in which to win the comp I'd run the other way.

If anyone could do this you'd bet on it.

I'd argue completely differently to your current point of view. No top athlete would ever view the situation as you are viewing the situation. A top athlete would welcome the challenge and believe they are the determining factor in how successful they are going to be on the field.
