Is there any chance that the Tigers could nab Jayame Isaako from the Broncos? He seems to be a pretty serviceable winger and can kick goals as well.

There was talk that he could be in the sights of the Tigers but that seems to have gone quiet?

Definitely wouldn’t say no

Scott sAttler reporting that b.smith has signed with the bulldogs for next year.

If true, I honestly can’t fathom how a bottom 4 team like the Dogs can just attract these sort of players, while we still scratch around in the dirt looking for someone half decent - it beggars belief really.

It's call the almighty dollar, have you heard of it? Dogs have a lot of space money and space in their roster.

How did Titans sign David Fifita?

If you believe Tino and Fifita ..having legends like Meninga and Tallis showing up on your doorstep in the final negotiations helped heaps

I believe them if you are saying legends like Meninga and Tallis showed up on their doorstep with wads of cash.

Why is Gorden Tallis championing the Titans in place of the club he played most of his career?

No I believe Tallis was present, my question is why is he working for the Titans against the wishes of the Broncos. Are the Broncos that dead as a club?

So if we had Tallis we would be successful. For a guy who has an ability to look on the negative side of things I wonder why you consider this more of an important factor compared to the truckloads of money they were being offered.

We could send Fitzy and Heighno, I am sure those premiership boys could convince anyone to sign on.

Benji would be the only one with any pulling power for us imo ...

But he’ll be 55 years old still looking for a playing contract
 
Nine News just now - Michael Chammas saying we want Jackson Hastings for this season and we are in talks with Wigan
 
Michael Chammas just reported on channel 9 that our management team met with Jackson Hastings management today and are confident of securing an early release for him this season.

Effective immediately.

Chammas is on the pulse with Tigers. Has a good relationship with the powers that be.

I think we need this. Pressure on the halves. Its never a bad thing.

In saying this, I do believe the first two rounds show us up to be a worse team than what we actually are. Tough competition. We just don't match it with the Raiders and the Roosters at the moment. Same with the Storm and Rabbitohs yada yada.

We have a very new side. The last two we faced are stable, having played for years together.

We will improve. BJ is a outlier to this statement - he is just plain unfit and uninterested. The rest will put in. I think they are invested and I expect improved performances over the next few rounds.

Korobeite poking fun at how bad we are now on Instagram, what is with post sheens era players making fun of their ex club? It’s a running theme

This is a sick world, no wonder there's so much violence and sexual assault .

Is that THE Ryan O'Hara? Would have thought a former footy player would be the last to take a swipe at a current player.


Unless they are on the Fox payroll

I heard after the fact that Benji had a crack as well, saying that Brooks was a six and not a halfback.

He’s correct, Brooks is a 6 or a 9 at best, not a halfback’s bootlace. I honestly don’t know why we’ve persisted with him in that position for so long. Ash Taylor was the same, now he’s playing at 6 he’s so much better and he was playing better there towards the end of last year even before big boppers Fifita and Tino turned up.

Funny how he wasn't a six when Benji was there.

He should’ve been

What’s the difference between a 6 and 7 these days. Showing your age if you still try and differentiate between them.

While it’s changed over the years, they’re still different positions depending how teams play.

Benji has some experience in the modern game and seems to think they’re different. I’ll go with that.

Exactly

Well we threw some almighty dollars at a couple of well known players, but they chose elsewhere on a either a lesser or comparative offer, so it’s not always about the biggest offer - no need to be a smartarse.

The Titans sign some big names because of their location, no other reason. The Dogs don’t have the lure of an attractive location that’s for sure.
 
Just re watched Hastings highlights looks unreal but he’s up against terrible defence but what took my attention was his kicking game it looked far better than Luke brooks (there not going to put his bad kicks in the highlights but haha)

Yeah forget about the line breaks, the defence his shocking, but his kicking looks decent. More to the point he seems to be able to adjust his kick based on the defence which our current half can't seem to do.
