Jeez even Isaac Liu is signing for the Titans. We’re gonna have all the money in the world with no one to spend it on. Maybe it can go towards a custom cutlery draw for all members

We've missed out on players recently and signed better ones (arguably)

Maumalo Isaako, DWZ

Gotta have faith.

From what I saw of Maumalo in his first game with us, I wasn’t impressed….Plodder…..at least DWZ runs with vigour…..

We conceded 66 points. Doesn't matter how hard it looks they're running he makes big metres all the time, he's known to be a metre eater

What did you think of watching a real winger in action last night when Olam after picking up the loose ball his first thought was to get it to JAC? This is the problem with Maguire. First thought is hitting it up rather than finishing from anywhere on the field.

Trust me mate I'd rather have JAC than Maumalo but we needed a winger and he was the best on the market. I doubt he's on big coin so if we could sign a gun winger he could take a back seat.

We missed JAC, the Bulldogs got him. Coates was on the move but we end up with Maumalo.

Jac chased the $ and Bulldogs obliged
A player like Coates who still needs to develop would always choose the Storm system to improve his game
We need to find a way to entice players to come
The COE will help but we need far more then that
We need a wealthy business man or women to help with third party payments
We should have someone in head office that can organise social events for the families of players so the women don't fell like they are being left alone
Think of it as a support group for the families
Maybe the club can organise outings for the children so the mums get some time to socialise with other mums in our club
We need to look outside the square and find out how to entice players and their families to join our club
Maybe support scholarships for children or Uni courses for wives if that is allowed
There is life after football so help these players and their families set themselves up for life after football
What can we do to help the families and not just the players

Some great ideas there. Talking about building culture, innovative ideas like these would help.

Yeah... Any such payments are included under the cap...

And there already are events where wifes and girlfriends socialise. Is there a demand for more? Who knows

I don't know much about TPA's, but they're not included in cap value are they?

If no, maybe the should be?

**Would defeat the purpose of a TPA** ......

I guess you have to ask , with all the rich external benefactors we have within the clubs fringes ......why we don't have more TPA's .......answer ...you don't fill a broken bucket with water ...do you ??

Yeah it would if it was counted, but the system should be fair, not based on where you are located?

I guess the other advantage for a corporate would be some sort of recognition/association with the player and club, and tax incentives?

Well it's only the player , he can't be attached to the NRL or club if promoting the corporation ....IE he couldn't wear the WT's polo or jersey promoting the product

Billy Slater still drives a Kizashi

No silly ...he rides Makybe Diva to work .....told you how many times now .....

Best thing the Poms ever produced…and Harry Kane ?

We should have someone in head office that can organise social events for the families of players so the women don't fell like they are being left alone
Think of it as a support group for the families
Maybe the club can organise outings for the children so the mums get some time to socialise with other mums in our club
We need to look outside the square and find out how to entice players and their families to join our club
Maybe support scholarships for children or Uni courses for wives if that is allowed
There is life after football so help these players and their families set themselves up for life after football
What can we do to help the families and not just the players

Some great ideas there. Talking about building culture, innovative ideas like these would help.

Yeah... Any such payments are included under the cap...

And there already are events where wifes and girlfriends socialise. Is there a demand for more? Who knows

I don't know much about TPA's, but they're not included in cap value are they?

If no, maybe the should be?

**Would defeat the purpose of a TPA** ......

I guess you have to ask , with all the rich external benefactors we have within the clubs fringes ......why we don't have more TPA's .......answer ...you don't fill a broken bucket with water ...do you ??

Yeah it would if it was counted, but the system should be fair, not based on where you are located?

I guess the other advantage for a corporate would be some sort of recognition/association with the player and club, and tax incentives?

Well it's only the player , he can't be attached to the NRL or club if promoting the corporation ....IE he couldn't wear the WT's polo or jersey promoting the product

Billy Slater still drives a Kizashi

No silly ...he rides Makybe Diva to work .....told you how many times now .....

Best thing the Poms ever produced…and Harry Kane ?

Harry is Zimbabwean .....lol

BS

Makybe Diva dad was Irish (Desert King )and Mum (Tugela ) was American ...just born in the UK ...any poor bugger can have that hard luck story .....

What’s 50-100k more per season

What’s 50-100k more per season - more than who?

He wants 800k. Tamou is on 350K.....

Don't get the 50-100k more pj.

I meant if he we lost finucane because we wouldn't pay 50-100k more. In the scheme of things, it's not that much for his professionalism and experience

I don't think an extra 50-100k is the difference.

Hopefully not

Its not, he also wants more years than we are willing to give.

That might be the "overs" that we need to pay to get class players here.

The money he is looking for he would need to be a state of origin level player, is he going to be at that level in 3 to 4 years? He is still in the mix but I am not sure he wants to be here either.

Yeah understand what ur saying man.
We just need that first domino to fall and others will follow. If we look at Signing a player like finucane, even if the overs are perceived to be too much, we need to realise the effect on the whole picture. That extra money/year might be the answer to getting the ball rolling and might not be the big deal as an individual transaction.

The player you break the bank on and play overs for needs to be a player that transforms the club, someone that makes the players around them better. Is Finucane that player? Probably not.

Ok

I see us signing Finucane and it ending in tears like Matt Ballin. It’s a pass from me.

Don't think he's that banged up?

Lote was alright

Leichhardt Lote



So In 20 odd years the Tigers have signed up 2 or 3 good players ? And the last one in 2010 ish ?

Signing guys like Hodgo, Pat Richards, Scott Prince, Shane Elford, paul whatuira are all good players. But yes it has been a while since we had a really good signing.



Could have picked up isaiah papali'i this year but was deemed not good enough

Who said that?



The club was looking at him but said no

I am unaware of that, where did you hear that?

My nephew's friend plays for Parramattas

throw in nofo douhie aswell
 
I can see Madge gone as head coach some time over the next week. That will give us a chance to see if these players can step up at all under a different coach for the remaining games this year. There are a number of them who need to show something different, or they need to be shown the door as well.

Hamiso Tabuai Fidow also has permission to talk to clubs November 1st

Strike centre with next level speed and just oozes X factor, with the sheer strength and meter eaters we have on the wing with both Nofoaluma and Ken it could cause a lot of space and open footy for “the hammer” and at ONLY 19 could develop to be a superstar player and grow with the rest of the young boys here…..

Cowboys look to be a shambles rn and have no direction at all, Tamolulo looks like he’s declining and will struggle to compete - so maybe a matter of money could be the driving force of getting his signature

We should definitely be looking at Hammer. Can play anywhere 1-5, lightning fast, young and still mouldable.
 
I can see the Dogs signing Mikaele on 450k. He just has too many dropped balls in his game. Potential is still there he's just not consistent enough and we have plenty of prospects coming through
 
who I'd keep

Daine Laurie
Stefano Utoikamanu
Shawn Blore
Adam Doueihi
Luke Brooks
Kelma Tuilagi
Tuki Simpkins
Jake Simpkin
Jock Madden
AJ Kepaoa
Ken Maumalo
Alex Twal
Alex Seyfarth
Joe Ofahengaue
Tom Amone
Jacob Liddle
Oliver Gildart
Jackson Hastings
Tom Mikaele

that's 19. 11 new players please. do it now.

I thought Laurie, Liddle and Brooks were about the 3 blokes to have a go.

I can't judge Blore as our genius coach thinks the best way to improve is game is to have him sit on the bench and watch NRL

Yeah he did but just too many mistakes. Our starting forwards were rubbish today. If we didn't start with tamou, Alex and LL I actually think we would have been better off. LL leaks points. If we start with blore then bring LL when the forwards are tired might be better use
