Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The tigers have the third equaly biggest pack in the comp.'
Many thought the game was moving towards smaller more mobile forwards. With the new crackdown on high tackles, this could change the scenario again. The donkeys big guys steamrolled the chickens last night.

Our troubles start without the ball. Our defence has remained consistently appalling.

I thought our middle is OK, its the edge that is the problem?

Definitely the edges

Middle defence is poor but edges are close to the worst I’ve ever seen in NRL.

We need 2 hardcore back rowers .

2 new wingers who can jump and defend and have pace

2 centre’s who can hit hard with pace

And a decent hooker


And people want to blame the coach. Geez.

Show me one winger, centre, second rower or hooker he didn’t sign or re-sign?

All clubs have sign duds, they don’t do it knowingly though. It’s then a process of weeding them out when there contracts are finished.

So now he needs time to weed out the bad signings he made so he can truly get the team he wants? What a cop out.

That's what all clubs/coaches do. Pretty
sure your man Flannagan signed Moylan and Dugan on huge contracts that they have been trying to get out of for the last three seasons?

 

[Tigerlily]

Doueihi is the only one I notice showing some emotion. Ofahengaue is always walking around smiling and laughing with former teammates after a loss. Annoys the daylights out of me when you travel hours to the game and the players don’t give a rats about the result

Disagree on your surmise of Ofahengaue his always 1 of the first to congratulate and pump our players up that I’ve noticed.

? Not a cop out at all, some players perform to expectations, some don’t. It’s a constant process to upgrade your team. They all do it.
But you have to wait out the contracts and salary cap doesn’t allow you hide duds under the carpet.
It takes time, I would have thought we would all understand this?
Plus, you have to have the players you want, to be available, when you want them?

What would you think a new coach would do if he came in?

I think a new coach would adapt his style to the players he has in order to improve the team. Madge cannot do that and he never will. Trust me, we are never playing finals with him as coach.

Which year? When Cleary was coaching or when Maguire was coaching and with which line ups?

Since 2015 the Sharks have played finals every year, first under Flanagan then under Morris. So even though they were hampered by a couple of poor recruitment decisions, they were still able to get the team firing and into the top 8. Madge cannot do that.

Think it’s more about what board ceo and coach can attract the right players. This group isn’t going to go too far no matter who the coach is

We can score points against anyone but we just can't defend. Need to figure out how to fix that whether it's a new head coach, assistant coach or new players. Big decisions for Hartigan to see what he can do to fix the club

That’s fair enough but I would argue Sharks have had a significantly better roster than West’s

It’s his team. If he doesn’t have the coaching ability to get them playing their best, he should walk.
