Difficult to know the type of player to target with V'landys butting in with rule changes. The only foreseeable constant is the the need for speed.

Mentally tough ones. Rugby League caters to all types of athletes as long as they’ve got the ticker.

Yes getting enough of them is the hard bit. Bulldogs have Josh Jackson but not many helpers and they can't score a try.

Spot on brother. The good sides have 90% of their squad full of em’

should be the #1 recruitment criteria

This is where all the analytics and number crunching and spreadsheets won’t help you. You can’t check references, Bellamy sticks em on a shovel and asks a few trusted old warhorses “how’s he go?”
 
Looks like we missed out again and have all this cash to spend and no none wants it...
So does our focus turn to upgrading some of the current guys and promoting development players ??
Its hard been a Tigers supporter and they say there is Ups and Downs.... Just waiting for the Up's as it been 10 years. We are a joke

It certainly does but for some reason we seem to be the only one at the dance floor on most occasions. :face_palm:

TPJ but not just him....
It's not a coincidence that we seem to be involved in negotiations with players but they always seem to go elsewhere and its like we are just a bargaining tool. People might not agree or like it but until we actually get a big signing that is what we are.
Its a shame as we have so much potential as a club and have a massive fan base. We are building very well from the ground up and adding a lot of pieces off the field but at the end of the day if you don't win on the field you just don't win.

Xavier Coates was the quality winger for sale this year. Maumalo was the bloke in reggies at NZL.

With all due respect to Ken as I think he is a great player he is not regarded as a top line player in my eyes. We have lost Reynolds, Packer, Matalino, and maybe Mbye and they were regarding and Paid as top line players.. I am not saying it's from a lack of effort but as a fan it's just disheartening..

Liam Martin is a guy I’ll be going for aggressively, there’s your young Finucane

Good player but locked up till 2023

Martin would be great. Fantastic player who really puts in.
 
If you speak to supporters of most clubs you will hear the same comments about their club as we do on here "Nobody wants to come to us" "Why do we only get the cast offs" "Why are we paying player X 750k he is not worth half that" "They only come here to get a pension".
Probably the only clubs that dont have that problem would be Storm Pamfers and Rorters.We just want to believe that it is only us that feel that way

There’s not many clubs who can’t attract at least one star player though. Knights Ponga, Dogs JAC, Titans Fifita, Who’s our star?

If you changed the word "leader" to "fraud" there wouldnt be a WT supporter who would disagree
