Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[TheDaBoss]

Judging recruitment on the players you don't sign is folly.

100%

 

[hobbo1]

I keep reading how our recruitment's improved.
Why didn't we throw everything we had at Burton?
Burton + the current squad = WINNING.


The dogs policy does not work and it wont work next year either.No forwards = no success

Long range try’s

 

[tony soprano]

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.

Forum members thoughts ?

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?

And your point is?

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

You can only sign what is available at the time. A number of them won’t be here next year, simples.

I doubt he’ll be here next year anyway.

Who do you consider is an upgrade that’s available

Morris and Flanagan are the obvious ones imo but there’s a fair few coaches available that would be good choices

Would take a very close look at Ciraldo

Absolutely

Risky all coaches are great under panthers team. Ivan for example

Ivan’s a really good coach, we just hate him because he walked out on us.

You’re joking right.

Did you see the players he left us with that were all managed by his own manager.

Unethical coach.

Still effecting us.

Can't wait till Moses and Packer are gone...

Don’t be fooled by the coach with good players.

Our only hope was always him bringing Nathan and we all know how that turned out

Our juniors and reserve grade were getting worse and worse. Madge and hartigan have to some real wonders

I'm not, Cleary has a pretty good resume as a coach. Big effort to get the Warriors to a Grand Final

I could coach panthers is my point.

 

[ATown]

So are we seriously going to let the broncos have a free run at Hynes? I know it probably depends on us taking some of their players but we would be silly to not have a go for him as well

I hope we are talking to him

What is his background? Is he a Queenslander? That’ll likely be a huge factor in his decision.

This is simply that.
True statement.

We hate him now but I remember when we signed him we were all stoked because he's the genius coach.

Ivan to the Tigers is now what Hitler was to the Jews.
He's not welcome 'round here.

He can stay in North Katoomba with the ukulele players.

I doubt it. We’re not that bright

We have one of the best (if not the best) recruitment blokes in the game, I think we are that bright, if it’s who they want?

Might have been the best at the Roosters running around with brown paper bags in his hands, not so flash with us unfortunately.

Certainly been a lot better than the guy before. Picking up some nice juniors.

It's completely plausible he's come in looked at the rosters and said we are 4-5 years away from a premiership team

You’re probably right, don’t mind being 4-5 years away from a premiership, but I would like to see a competitive team playing out there every week sooner than 4-5 years away.

4-5 years from a premiership is an absolute pipe dream.

[ATown]

Reality is there isn’t 2-3 marquee style players on the market.

There are some good players, some rising talent and fringe players up for grabs.

Issue is in a competitive market where a few clubs have cash we either have to take huge risks or we go the slow burn - pay huge overs or buy for price, invest in yet to be known players and grab out of sorts players to hopefully build a competitive squad which may take another 2-3yrs to see the benefits of.

We suck and not alot of current 1st graders would jump from the storm etc to come here unless they got well compensated & even then most pick winning over the cash anyway.

TBH after watching Hynes do it again last night. He is the real deal. He is 100% a marquee player. Demands the ball every single set and makes consistent correct decisions. Not to mention his support play. He literally backs up almost every hit up.

Definitely some quality coming through but to think we’ll be in a position to challenge Penrith in the next 5 years is pretty fanciful. Unfortunately they’re 10 steps ahead of us in every department.
