Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

Why do people insist on revisiting some of the worst alcohol nightmares ever to have plagued humanity? These are the cause of some of the worst hangovers I have ever had. 🙂

It's the experiences that go with it!😂

I wonder who the two guns are that Sheens talks about in the article. Da Silva and Large?

Thats who I was thinking. Few years away yet but at least they are in the system.

Awesome article... I love going back to focusing on attack. Even when we lose games, at least they were more entertaining to watch! No more 5 hit ups followed by a bomb every set 🙂

A over and end bomb by Brooks usually that does nothing. Hastings started doing it too.

What I would give to get a fast play the ball and a little chip to the corner like Thurston used to do all the time

That'd be My guess

People have to understand you just cant be 'Lets just sign premium players uleh' or 'lets look for moneyballs uleh' because you have to understand how a squad works.

You know how so many people is gender fluid now? That is how you have to be in your mind when discussing the salary cap.

This is all a balancing act and imperfect science and you have to be maleable.

We can go for a top shelf player like Klemmer or Crichton, with the same intensity as wanting a wade graham or David Hollis.

For every 700k player you need a moneyball 200k player. That is how squads are.

Cap next yr is 11mil.

11 mil divided by 30 be 366 large.

So for every dollar a player earns over that another player needs to earn under at least

I think absolutely everyone on here knows this

We could confirm it on twitter.

I don't think you can win consistently without being able to attack. Cleary had us defending great and playing dour footy and we won games early in the season but when teams started to get it together we couldn't go with them.

No six agains when Cleary coached us either. The best teams can do both well and even the best teams can get a score put on them when their defence unravels.

Re Stains . I like the signing, but would like to see the Tigers do more in their training. Tedesco was aready a top footballer when he joined Easts, but he spent a long time being coached by one of the greats MINICHIELLO! I would think it would be worth the dollars to obtain him or a likewise ex FB for specialised coaching.

If we seriously manage to get Klemmer & Leniu over the line we'd have a fearsome pack, probably still a second rower light but maybe one of the cubs comes to the fore. For that to happen Brooks and or Ken would probably have to be sacrificed for cap reasons potentially.
There has been 2 suggestions in the past few days that both Klemmer & Leniu are on board so interesting times to see if the oil is on the money.

We need to keep some spots open to blood these juniors that we have coming through.

He’s got another once in a lifetime player like Benji Marshall to get that done for him has he?

Pretty easy to make a fast car drive fast - much harder to make a slow car drive fast…

Teddy basically plays the same at the Chooks that he did at the tigers. The big difference is he is surrounded by quality at the Chooks unlike his time at the Tigers. The Chooks also got him at the height of his career, we had him on the way up with still a few levels to travel

One of the things i noted with Minnie was his pronounced leg muscles. Teddys build and positional play both improved under Minnies coaching. I have no doubt it was just not going to a better side, but more the concentrated training he received.

He actually lost some of his passing game IMO

" Keeping Brooks, AD and JH together as that worked best 2022. "
They only played 2 games in that combination, lost to a reserve grade side and lost to a side that just went through the motions ( strong argument to say we won that game ).
The good sides will soon work out the 2 running 5/8s strategy and then we'll be left with nothing, another spoon beckoning.

First of all, we got robbed against the Cowboys and then beat the Broncos. Two wins.

Second, you think the good sides won't work out the usual half/ five-eigth strategy that 16 other teams usually play?

its just better to have staines than peach

Way better! Glad Peachey's gone!

Also have the best coach in the game - and it ain’t JT… (although he’s there also)

Brooks didn’t play against Broncos did he?
