Woolford is a grub

I believe that's his actual nickname from his playing days.

Haha close then

Nikora wants to go home to the Warriors.
Apparently Souths have asked about Brayden Trindall.

Which Nika’ are you talking about the Sharks one or the Eels one? I’m pretty sure most on here we’re talking about the Eels one.

The Sharks' second rower. The Sharkies play a tough brand of football in the forwards. Many believe he is too small for their pack. I like him as a player. Trindall is a very good prospect and Souths have a huge problem in the halves for next season.

Are the super league coaches being considered any good?

Shaun Wane is madge mk2. Was madges assistant at Wigan, then became the head coach when madge went to souths. Issuing the structure and team madge established, he won 3 comps in 7 years. Now the English coach. I like him but it would be strange to sack madge to replace with wane.

Steve mcnamara was assistant at roosters for a bit under Robinson. Has taken Catalan from a pretty bad positron in 2017 to now to of the table with a 54% winning rate over the 4 years. Was previously the England coach.

Kristian wolfe is best known for coaching Tonga and loved by his team, really has embraced the culture and country. Now coaches st helens after Holbrook was appointed Gold Coast coach. Win the premiership in his first year (2020) and the challenge cup this year and will most likely play in gf against Catalan this year. Has also done a fair bit if nrk assistant coaching, under 20s and qld cup coaching. A little similar to madge in personality, quoted saying 'I swear too much' and is apparently scary in wrestling sessions. But could attract some great tonga talent.

I think they all have more runs on the board than cilraldo. But think woolf would be the strongest candidate

Great summary. Seems like whoever we get is doomed. The roster is the issue

So do you believe Matterson will come back to WTs now?

Is it an option ?

Despite being a bit of a twit, the guy is a good player.

Absolutely he is a good player. He played well on Saturday in a beaten side. He would improve our forwards signficantly.

No chance. His exit was bungled and sour.

Plus we as a club are on the nose.

We should have identified him as a good players and worked something out.

100%

Few head knocks but he's a great footy player and keeps his body in good knick like Twal.

I hold out hope with Hartigan and a new coach in the joint. Plus, Twal and Doueihi may be enough to bring him back into the fold.

He's pretty close with Aloiai too...
Could be a reunion at Manly.

Fun fact... all the boys at lower grades at the Bulldogs when Matto played there thought he was Lebo.... he is not. ?

You can argue semantics about who were assistant coaches where, but at the end of the day, will a coach coming from the ESL have any more pulling power at attracting players than Madge? That’s the biggest issue

With Tim sheens by his side and a different view I think yes. Barrett clearly isn’t a great coach but he can obviously sell what’s he’s trying to do well. If a new coach is employed and I’m sure this will sound crazy to some but I’d have 3 people at the meeting, the coach, sheens and Lee. The coach and sheens to sell the club to the player and Lee to show what they can look towards after footy if signing with us what with business savvy and his current job. Leave the CEO out of all contract negotiations

Especially our CEO

Why does he have to comment whenever a player is signed ? Like his quotes are the first to appear. Surely other clubs don’t do this

He has an ego that matches D.Fitzgerald who achieved zero for Pawwa.He is a disgrace,i thought nobody could be worse than Fatty O'Barrell and then this bloke came knocking.Apologies i thought you were talking about our chairman

Surely if Madge goes the unconfirmed rumours about Lomax wanting to come here are put to bed. Wasn't it said that he and Madge have a connection and that's why he was interested in joining?

Until confirmed, treat it as a rumour. If he were to leave the Dragons (which I'd find surprising), he is more likely to go to the Roosters.

He has been a Tigers fan his whole life.
Maybe that's his dream, play for a club he's liked since a boy.

Let's have some hope ?

Matterson is actually a famous name in the history of the Magpies.
Frank Matterson and Jack Matterson both were stars for the Magpies in the 1920's.

Yeah before my time but I watched Ryan on bloke in a bar and he said he came through lower grades at the Bulldogs before moving to Parrs > Roosters > Tigers > Parra.

I don't mind him but understand the hate.

If the coach leaves I can't see why he wouldn't want to return.
He looked happy until things fell apart and he played his best footy for us.

Yep and he was on an average contract despite being our best player.

And he's best mates with Twally.
Damm, I wish... haha, he'd be our best second rower.
Takes Garners place for mine.
