P*ssed off, expect changes after the bye.

Journos pressed on how 'secure' he feels
Started throwing some excuses in about situation he came in and how it takes time to turn around. Juniors etc.

Certainly felt a bit more rattled then usual.
Either he knows hes under pressure or has no answers on how to fix it. Possibly both!

Mate it end up being a job interview

He come out swinging at the start labeling the first half garbage saying the players are boys not men.

Then reed asked if he feels job safe and then Madge went into his been strap by salary cap and has done a lot of work in junior space due to bad cap and looking to complement that now but cautious not to get the cap screwed again.

They specifically asked about dale and he didn’t say no but said the above.

Also expect mass changes next time we play.

So maybe 1 or 2 at most?

I was hoping he was referring to his coaching staff

We had plenty of money under the cap, but no one wants to come.

To solve that we sign rejects from other clubs on big money like BJ, Joe O, Doueihi, Maumalo. How is that working out?

That's cos they are the only ones willing to come

Rejects with no other options

Joe offa has been decent

Douehi has been great...and wat is maumalo has been dragged down to our level..
Bj is shat

How long are we stuck with Maumalo ? To think I was absolutely crucified on here when we signed him and how’s he gone so far ? Still runs like he did with the warriors. Bugger all intent and as slow as anything.

God I hope Maguire is gone by the bye round. Wont stand for another paper over cracks win against the broncos in round 18 but after today, they’ll probably beat us

Maumalo is a good specialist winger. I’ve been watching him for years and he’s been close to the best winger in the competition at times. His firm dropped this year The entire Tigers team is underperforming it’s hard for a winger to shine. Give the bloke a chance he will come good. Solid player for 350k a season.

He sucks. Not one warriors fan was sad to see the back of him

What sickens me most is some of our players - at times - look like they don't even wanna be there.
From my observations there's probably only a handful that show any pride in themselves, who help their teammates and try their hearts out.
It's very disheartening to see.
Idk what's wrong with this club!! It's any wonder we're sitting ducks for journalists, when it sends a strong message that we find it acceptable to have disinterested and uncommited players often selected in and representing our team.

Agree with the comments re😀oueihi, time to put him back at five-eighth and even make him captain. Despite any deficiencies, he's always looked to be our most encouraging leader.

Those that need to go NOW!
Nofo (still can’t believe we signed him for 4 years!!!), Roberts, Mbye, Tamou, Leilua, Packer, Talau, Cini, Kepeao, Musgrove, Walters.

Change my mind

This article just sums us up and it's correct... It might be a good that its been printed as the fans have had enough.

The fact that someone like Sheens who has had no involvement in the NRL in a decade is the one running an eye over the club shows that the club has no idea & that chairman Lee is just a rich fan with way too much power.

 

[Cairnstigers]

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

Won't even get close to what Sue did for us
And that's saying alot

 

[Tiger5150]

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?

Anything remotely related to the club is included in the cap and limited. Completely separate from the club are not included and are unlimited.

Obviously some sort of personal thing. We have holes everywhere and Ken is a long way from our biggest recruitment issues.

 

[GCfan]

Quick note...GI did his hammy in the sl and his club has terminated his contract... i think signing him to work with laurie and our youngster's wohld be amazing in building that i indigenous club culture we r working on


that's a top idea

He’s being kept on over there to do the same job your suggesting I believe
