Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

I agree Hal

A club with a clue will get a LOT more out of him imo

Agree, though it could just be a case of him not suiting where the club is at atm. Like Brooks being in a more established
Roster could bring the best out of them.
Here they carry heaps of responsibility, where at a more established roster that would be shared among a bigger group.
Some players aren't fazed by it but as we have seen esp in Brooks case he's a confidence player. He needs to be confident and he's just not atm.

Been watching MEANEY playing, offer him top dollar to be our fullback.

We should have done it when he was cheap. I’m sure he was available when we went with AD.

 

[Buttface]

You put daine Laurie in that team at fullback and he will look 10 times better than Meaney

If Laurie had the same attitude as Meaney then yeah Laurie could be better but Meaney gives it a 100 all the time.

Probably true 2 years ago but definitely not now.

What a load of shit.

Mate did you see him at the bulldogs? He wasn’t half the player he is at Melbourne

There is no denying there is a decent nrl level fullback in Diane laurie tigers just cannot seem to get it out of him

If he stayed at Penrith or went to a stringer club he would be a far better player than he is now

Everyone leaves the tigers and does well.

Would we contemplate signing walker when roosters give him the flick?

no

He actually wasn't bad at the dogs. Effort and had skill. Improved more eof course but definitely one of dogs best.

Laurie better than Meaney

Tigers lost their minds again

Like sheens picking brooks over hastings

Picking AD or staines over Laurie is same thing

That’s why Joey, Billy slater and tim brasher all have same opinions

Only ones that don’t are the wests tigers coaching staff and some inbuilt mediocrity tainted fans on this forum

 

[Tiger-ferret]

no

I tend to agree. Made of lot of brooks like errors tonight

It’s interesting with the earlier man manager chat…the best coaches will align the best players with a common goal.

 

[hank37w]

Interesting, but would be sorry to see Laurie go.
Don’t think we’ve handled him too well.

Yes, you're probably right, but there's a lot of things Daine Laurie hasn't handled too well both on and off the field as well.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

With all the hype around Suaalii, this kid could be forgotten. I think he’s better than Suaalii as he is much faster. Top 3 GPS nationals for the 100m.
Is an absolute beast - watched him come through the ranks and one the Tigers should try and sign:

We need to think outside the box

Really good in and away to the left
Wonder how he is under the high ball

I think we find out sooner or later. I agree with you though, we are career killers

Has Meaney bulked up a bit since being at Melbourne
When bulldogs first signed him he looked small. Looks grown up now

 

[stevied]

Why would a decent player want to come to a club that attracts so much negative press and rightly deserved. It started with the Centre Of Excellence wall design being wrong, the group playing like reserve graders and being coached by somebody that is really out of touch, and then lying about consulting the Australian Army about the Jersey design. Do we not live in a world where people are held accountable for their actions ?

Couldn't agree more. As much as I love the Tigers and always will, we really are a basket case. Lots of clubs make the occasional stuff up, including Manly with the rainbow jersey fiasco, for instance, but is there really a club that make as many as our dear Tigers? Sure, we tend to notice our own club more, but the whole League world can see that we are a poorly run, unprofessional organisation, starting at the top with a volatile, ineffective board, going down to an egotistical, motor mouth chair, a pompous, disaster ridden CEO and, finally, as you put it, Blocker, an out of touch, stubborn and I'll add 'boys club' style coach. No wonder top players or coaches don't want to come. It's a miracle that we managed to entice Koroisau and Papalii. They must have been hypnotized or something.

I was wondering the same

The only problem with that is that you are assuming that the Tigers would have developed Meaney, like the Storm have. Most of our signings or locally developed talent tend to go backwards or don't develop to where they should be. This is one of the Tigers' failings.
