What’s the hold up with Mikaeles resigning?

He’s having surgery 5 or 6 thumbs being removed

he probably dropped it

Comment of the year

 

[jadtiger]

Scott has his problems. He is young and has independently reached out to AA in a bid to get his demons under control. A really strong player, better than any centre we have. Difference between him and Roberts is age. Scott still has a career in front of him if he wants it. Big hill to climb but I would take the punt.

You do realise that the reason he went to Canberra is he couldnt handle the pressure in a large city like Melbourne.The pressure in an NRL city like Sydney would be even worse.
NQ would be his best and probably last option.

Isn't he originally from the shire ?

Yes he is and apparently was always in strife.That is why he went to Melbourne

Shaft bloody Brooks. If there is serious truth to the club backing Madge etc into next season, Brooks CAN NOT continue with us. Pay whatever it takes to get him somewhere else. Heard Brett finch today say in terms of the club coming out and backing him, he said “why would you ? Why are you backing this player who’s failed for almost a decade and why does he want to be there still ? “ seriously shaft him. Name any great half to put beside him at our club and he would still struggle. It’s deadset the most toxic relationship I’ve ever seen.

Canberra fans say that Curtis Scott's defensive skills make Jarrod Croker look like Ruben Wiki. No thanks!

Yeah tough one is it another bj Signing.

Guess lower wage lower risk

A poor defender is a poor defender no matter what they cost

 

[JD Tiger]

No to Scott and Cotric in my book. Both are unwanted by their clubs (sacked even), both would not improve our club.

One big money purchase of a superstar is needed. And that's someone at a million a year, better than Manu (who at this stage I'd pay $800k, though I would take him too)

Could not tell you how many times I have read someone on here say “I’m done”, “I’m out of here”, “I’ve had enough”, “I’m not watching anymore.”

You literally left the forum after Liddle got dropped for Simpkin.

? think he's blocked you.

yup exactly everything ennis said is correct, we simply cant attract anyone and now its becoming so evident no one wants to come to Tigers.. Im not bothered about Thompson on that money but i just cant see any future and that is so worrying. The young kids look good but they cant do it on their own..Questions have to be asked of Madge now but nothing will change as we all know. Pascoe will just say we have a centre of Excellence next year and the club is going well financially. Unfortunately all we care about are on field results and Pascoe doesnt care about that.

Good old Ennis - always good for a baggin' (he did it on the field like a grub, and is doing it off the field).

What is the solution Ennis?

What do the Tigers do to attract players Ennis?

Oh! they don't want to go to the Tigers, the tigers aren't interested in being a retirement home (like they have been), the Tigers just aren't interested in buying losers or the Tigers aren't interested in paying massive overs (like they have previously).

Well, well, what is your answer dopey? Big on putting the boot in but like most of your comments on fox, you don't back it up with answers.

As a commentator or analyst - you would make a great bricklayer.

I suggest you leave us to work out our problems and try and help the "Dogs" work out how to stay under the cap.

Agree mate.
Easy for these flogs to bag us but no solutions.
I'm sure they have seen or been in similar situations in their careers

Well all the ex footballers turn commentators are usually blokes who had successful careers, you don’t see many Nofoalumas or Brooks type players end up calling the game, what would they bring to the table besides a wealth of knowledge about losing.
And I agree they don’t really offer solutions but can you?
I can’t.
Until we start winning games and blood some more quality juniors who can actually play as a unit we are not going to attract the personal we need.
If it was a job and you had the chance of joining a successful business in a Coastal town like Newcastle or Cronulla or Bondi, Or a place out west that struggles year after year what would you choose?
Penrith are a great example of what we need to emulate to be where we all wish our club could be.
Stack the team with juniors that have played together for a few years and know each other, create an atmosphere they don’t want to leave, give them time to because it won’t happen overnight.
This ideal that buying a crop of big names and becoming dominant is not an option for us so stop thinking it is.
Juniors are the only way this club will ever get out of the cellar.

Wow lost respect for Kent Mr tell it like it is except for Ricky Stuart putting all sort of spin for Curtis Scott make Canberra sound favourable

I'm in the same boat

I'm comfortable with the club sacking Maguire. BUT only after they shaft the myth that is Luke Brooks. He is everything that is wrong with this club.

 

[The_Patriot]

@Demps can you lay off the washed up trouble making rejects you want us to sign. These Cotrics, Dugan's, Scott's are no better than our own misfits like Talau and Kepoa

Love your work but putting them in our backline doesn't fix our leadership or our mentality

 

[tigerap]

I see our signing options are looking up:

Adam Elliot
Josh Duggan
Curtis Scott

I reckon we can snag all 3

 

[Wildcat777]

Brent Read suggesting Cotric could be a casualty of Gus' player clean out to get Dogs cap in shape again. Mentioned Elliot and Corey Allan as well

would take Cotric in a heartbeat to replace that pretender we have on our right wing.

Remember where ya heard it first.
@Trusted_Insider

Hoops? 😉

Nah, @Tiger5150 said his bulldogs mate said it...

This runs deep...

Cotric incoming.

Cotric and Scott. Good friends. Reunited at Concord.

Would love that….and then have a certain Saints centre fighting for position! Or maybe Cotric on the wing?

Hi YC But you have to be the biggest Brooks Hater on here. I am sure you have made over 1000 hate posts scattered over every topic.

You mean our right centre cause that’s where he plays in defence

On the weekend he was playing left centre for the opposing team

Yeah but the A defender slid in….blah blah blah
