From Phil Rothfield Sunday Telegraph 25/7/21:
"Maybe it's not Michael Maguire's fault that the tigers kep missing out on big signings. Former Canberra raiders hooker Simon Woolford blames the the club's general manager of footbal, Adam Hartigan. "With people like Adam Hartigan ( who doesn't return phone calls or emails) it doesn't really surprise that they miss out on key targets like Tevita Pangai". Woolford wrote in social media."

Paul Kent has said similar

As you always hear ...clubs like the Roosters and the Storm don't lose people they want to really keep

Hartigan and Woodward ..........

Are we still in the running for Harley Smith-Shields?

Someone posted last week, maybe POM, that we had moved away from Harley Smith. God knows why, he actually looks he could be a good pick up.

If we're true to form in the last week, we'll probably come up with another 11th hour bid.

Doesn't Woolford have a kid who plays footy? We probably knocked him back.

Also from a man known his whole career as "the grub".

Message to Buzz: the opinion of Simon Woolford is never news.

There's a couple of daggers being thrown his way now - the question has to be asked if we can't land a signing.

Would be nice to know what the club is up to hoping there is a grand plan hidden behind all this.surely we've hit some recruitments by now, if so they've kept it hush hush

Maybe if you all didn't rip in to pascoe relentlessly he'd still be doing his exclusive interviews with the ceo

I definitely think there is a need to communicate something. We're losing and getting belted in the media, so we need some positive news.

Why do we have two general managers of football.

Replace hartigan with sheens

Missing out will always be on the cards until we start getting up to semi final footy , the players that we may be able to get that I think would help
Klemmer , looking to move , Aggressive, good mtrs , good Defence , 2 years plus 1 year club option ( 3 )
Chambers , Aggressive Centre. 2 years
Woods , still does the job , 2 years , who cares about before we need to look forward and start winning
Sirro , 2 years , injury free he goes better than Garner

The thought of Woods returning makes me shudder but if Klemmer also came it might inspire some mongrel from Woods.

I've always hated Chambers as a grub but at the right price he might be worth a shot. My concern is it has a whiff of BJ/JTJ about it.

Sironen has been good at Manly but was less than ordinary here - I'm not sure we can expect his Manly form to follow him.

Im for giving Woods and Klemmer 2 years each…maybe we can send Tamou away to either Sharks or Knights as a swap…

Obviously you didn’t watch Woods yesterday, I couldn’t believe how far that he has regressed.

Curtis Scott rumoured to be on his way out of canberra due to a recent incident punching on at a bar in canberra, wouldn't be surprised if we make a play at him with how hopeless our center pairings have been

another player when removed from the Melbourne system is no good

He was removed from the Melbourne system for the same reason he's being removed from the Raiders system - he's a grub that can't get his act together off-field.

I don't think he's a bad footballer if he can keep on the straight 'n narrow.

woukd be a terrible signing

 

[426Tlgerland]

I think with woods people need to look at stats over the season and not just one game , woods for time on the field is better than most of our go forward guys , Him and Klemmer would be a solid pick up imo , add Chambers and Klemmer / there is you aggression , woods just to keep making mtrs and defending , his defence is fairly good

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

I think WT'S should come out all guns blazing and go all out for Brandon Smith make a ridiculous offer to put pressure on everyone Storm Dogs I can't believe they good possibly fit him in with the players they have signed we'll have cash Packer gone Mbye gone

Struggle to comprehend why we didn’t go hard for Gagai….. perfect centre for our team

 

[BAGNF05]

Meh, woodsy wouldn't add much and I'm a massive fan of his. For dirt cheap he would be okay I guess but if we keep Mikaele and Seyfarth would we need him? Maybe as depth I guess but we've got a lot of young forwards.

He’s eons better than captain arm grabber

I don't see him starting for us next year either. Stefano, Mikaele, Twal, Seyfarth and Ofahengaue should really be our middles for next season. Tamou, Musgrove, Tuki and even Tuilagi can all be backup middles.

Maybe we could use one more middle forwards at the club but not sure it should be Woodsy

I think our middles are going pretty good. We need NRL centres first. Maybe Gildart will take one spot. We need another one.

Then we need an edge backrower.

Two of them

Luc is starting to get to me as well.

You just can’t miss that many one on ones in this Comp. Lateral movement of an ocean liner.

Just need to win mate, the rest is noise. No amount of talking will overcome the need to win football - in fact I think it would just make it worse, look like excuses.
