Yep I don’t know how people can talk about offloading Brooks and not including Nofo in that trade. He is terrible!!! They both need to go the UK.

Yeah but he doesn't offer an alternative. Just haves a go at clubs without an alternative option. How does a team attract a player? Maybe we need to bring in a draft. He competition is to lopsided to Ike the EPL we.know who will be in the top4 every year.

yup exactly everything ennis said is correct, we simply cant attract anyone and now its becoming so evident no one wants to come to Tigers.. Im not bothered about Thompson on that money but i just cant see any future and that is so worrying. The young kids look good but they cant do it on their own..Questions have to be asked of Madge now but nothing will change as we all know. Pascoe will just say we have a centre of Excellence next year and the club is going well financially. Unfortunately all we care about are on field results and Pascoe doesnt care about that.

I agree I'd like to see some accountability with some sacking all around but problem is club doesn't have a leader to make these big calls needed.

So why did Lomax, Brimson, JAC, TPJ, Arrow, Mitchell and Sami turn us down?
Do you see a pattern here?
JAC, TPJ, Arrow, Mitchell all changed clubs!

Yea , players don’t leave thier club , unless they are going to something that seems familiar . We had JAC , we just wouldn’t trade Talau . Which in terms of value , I get it . He still could be anything , and a strike centre/ edge backrower is infinitely more valuable than an undersized , fast winger . Look at the storm , they churn through wingers at a rate of knots , and always seem to produce stars.
It begs the question of what his perceived value is and what it actually is .
On the face if it though , it was a mistake .
TPJ is meh , arrow is meh , and we had to pay 800k plus for IMO a bench player , and a lazy strike middle , with a bad attitude .
Mitchell , like all Koori kids from nsw , went to south’s . Once again , something familiar.
We ARE NOT going to sign elite players until we grow the kids into a force .
Also Lomax signed for way overs IMO at the time with st George .
This is the answer to the question , something that footy “experts” neglect to acknowledge or understand
This is year 2 of the real rebuild . Not the bull crap , Taylor ,cleary one where they sign over hill players to try and squeeze out an 8th place , but the real one where we suck for a few years, get the best juniors we can find , and put smart , hard working older guys around them to grow the culture .
Even if they suck like Tamou.

Some people are in complete denial about the state of things at the club. We let in 50 points yesterday against a Sharks team with $3m sitting on the sidelines and a halves pairing that had never played before. Madge was out coached by a caretaker coach.
On top of that we can’t sign anyone who is a legitimate starter at another NRL club (we plucked Ken out of Warriors reserve grade).
To suggest we just let this play out is insanity. If we don’t make changes next year will be even worse

Throw insane money at the best coach. Bellamy should have been offered a ridiculous amount of money to leave Storm.
Bennett should be offered what he wants, we know he loves the $$.
Ask Trent Robinson what it would take to come here.
These guys would get rid of crap players in a minute. They attract good players. They have years of good defensive systems behind them.
If a Bellamy, a Bennett or a Robinson can’t get us firing then shut us down.

Madge doesn't want to throw the salary cap out but what's nofo on?
Interesting to read that the druggo coach said....
""Their structures and systems are really good,they are really poor""
So the argument that coach Maguire hasnt got good structures or game plans,has been relinquished by an NRL coach who everybody on here said would be great...
He would suffer the same pain as Madge but would have plenty of relievers in the bag....
people just have to either watch how things pan out next year or just become a casual viewer...it may help relieve some of the suffering ahead..
As has been said many times short time pain for long time gain....I hope it starts next year and some quality players may be in their sights....Hartigan and Sheens may improve recruitment so we at least have a couple of hard arses to shore up the poor middle we had yesterday....

Buying premierships does NOT work . It is literally the reason we are in this mess . We neglected the juniors to invest all our resources in the first team , and got meh above average players on overs , which killed our cap .
This is what guys like you don’t understand . You see things as 10 years when in reality it’s closer to 2 . The sharks had 3 million of cap sitting on the sidelines ? Did they ? Because who was taking that money in the current market , if not for those players ? They had , just like everyone , thier over the hill over paid players sitting on the sidelines . If anything this season was a changing of the guard for many clubs . Including our own .
The dogs won’t even make the 8 , the next 2 years . That’s my prediction . It took Penrith 8 years to get thier 5 year plan to succeed .. and it wasn’t 5 million dollars of meh talent that did it . It was thier juniors who played together since Harold Matt’s .
