BJ clocked 6 seconds going through KFC drivethru and 1.8 seconds devouring a bucket.

God we are dumb, why on earth did we let him go.

Hill had signed with Mackay a week after those 2 were sacked and the meeting “postponed” now that Scolari has done his knee and is out for the season, the club have made contact with Mackay to release Hill back to Tigers pending his current contract. The club have admitted they dropped the ball with Hill and are putting an offer together.
Hill has a clause in his contract that allows him to return to an NRL club at any time.
Tigers now have the Cowboys chasing Hill, I heard that the coach at Cowboys rates Hill and isn’t at all surprised they treated him the way they did.

Bring him back.
?

Hill has been put through the paces with Mackay, clocked 10.1 over 100m and consistently ran it over several training sessions

What happened to Tigerfan13? I hope my questioning the bona fides of his claims about Hills pace didnt send him over the edge? Did he quit/banned?

No idea on the first bit. Though if Hill is supposedly running 10.1 over 100m consistently at footy training sessions, forget about him playing footy for anyone as he would be quicker than the great Happy Tiger in his pre-injury prime and training for an Australian Olympic spot instead.

Brooks hasnt been right for our past 3 coaches maybe the problem is brooks

He won halfback of the year under our previous coach… but don’t let facts get in the way.

Couldn’t this all go in one of the 17 Luke Brooks threads available?

Halfback of the Year for a team who came 9th. In 2018, Cronk had his debut year at Chooks and won a GF, Adam Reynolds got South's to Top 4 and Cleary debuted in Origin, but yeah Brooks was the best 7 in the Comp ???

He never said he was the best halfback that year, just that he was halfback of the year, which he was.

The anti Brooks brigade have become like the anti vax brigade. They aren’t interested in having rational conversation, they just want to scream in your face and dismiss any facts that don’t back their argument.

Which facts?
Any fact supports our stance that a lump of drift wood would perform better.
It amuses me that his only supporters in the whole NRL fan base are a tiny minority of Tigers men. Everyone else laughs at him trying to play.

I pointed out the FACT that Luke Brooks won halfback of the year under our previous coach, in reply to the comment that Brooks had a problem with the last 3 coaches.

You replied saying if I thought Brooks was the best halfback in the comp I knew nothing about the game.

Newcastle, a club who actually played finals this year want him. Andrew Johns wants him at the knights and believes they can make him a better player. Why can’t we?

I don’t know, why can’t we?
Many have tried, all have failed.

Many have tried and failed.

Lets look at Brooks:
When he first came with Voldemort, they became known as the Turnstyles. No defense and we were conceding tries in the middle.
What we have seen is Brooks up the ante in Defense, he has gotten a lot better.

Then Coach Voldemort punts Robbie Farah because he wants a hooker who will give good early ball to nr7. This never worked for us. It was said of Des Haslier that at the dogs he changed to adapt with the players strengths and we needed that. Well Coach Voldemort had one gameplan and one only punting Pat Richards who was playing the house down.

Brooks has had Sheens, Potter, Voldemort, Cleary, McGuire. On top of this Brett Kimmorley worked as a coaching assistant with us. All of them have tried different styles, many tried different hookers and it's the same.

Brooks is a great player, but poor halfback. He is a poor halfback because he won't organise or boss the team into position. Why? He isn't that guy! He is shy and humble. Maybe Johns can coach it into him, maybe not! We can't so stop putting the square peg into the round hole.

Hopefully Brooks gells with Hastings. Either they swap positions or Hastings steers the team from 5/8. It will take 5 rounds for us to see if this works or is a total failure, they will need time to Gel. It will also be hard because Madge is inflexible too and I am unsure how Brooks+Hastings+Madge will work together.

That said, by round 10 if Brooks and Hastings has't worked PUNT BROOKS. Let him go to the knights, England wherever. Our team needs structure.

Is Voldemort Jason Taylor or Ivan at this point? I've lost track.

You forgot the rule, dont say his name!

Also for me its JT.
Yes I wish Ivan stayed for 4 years even just to see what the team would look like. He seemed to be a great people manager, a hopeless talent picker
A better coach then I expected.

JT 100% evil. Broke up the Wests Tigers. Did not teach anyone to kick yet was a high scoring goal kicker himself! Would have been happy to keep Mick Potter for those 2 years.

Fair enough. My view is Ivan is a good coach but an awful human being.

JT did his best but was massively out of his depth and had no idea what he was doing. I blame the board for hiring him in the first place.

Can't believe he won won the comp playing cleary ball. That just won it too. Souths blew it and Panthers had the squad and made it difficult

I remember JT got the head coaches position over Griffin because the board were impressed with his presentation and his stated commitment to focus on junior development.

He absolutely decimated our junior pathways. We used to be fairly competitive in under 20s every year and by 2017, we were getting flogged 84 - 6. He let some talented players walk out and failed to get the best out of youngsters who were blooded under Potter. The Farah debacle was pretty horrible and was handled terribly. Tossing aside a club captain like that didn’t make the club look like an attractive option to players.

Personally my least liked coach in WT history.

Truth,

Really don't like how he outcasted sirro senior and got rid of blokes like Farah to make his job safer.

Marina go in my view was as bad as JT. Took a while to reverse her work.
