Probably more than the west's tigers podcast

Lol idk what u have it in for those guys who do the pod

Talk about holding grudges

 

[bathursttiger1]

Maybe we've upped our game in recruitment with Sheens and McDonnell. Having someone of Sheens' stature being able to recruit is a significant advantage for us over rivals.

One thing that we can thank Hartigan for is missing out on TPJ.😂

What about Wests Tigers radio???

I'd very very interested in the Sharks' Kiwi international Briton Nikora if we could get him at a good price. Quality player.

He runs awesome lines and hard as well, his style of play would work with Brooks.
Solid and holds his line when defending as well.

WestsLife - go well on the podcasts, facebook, twitter, Insta ect. They do a couple of podcasts a week. They are very active on the socials and discord

 

[Odessa]

Both?

Maybe Siosifa Talakai is a cheaper and better option for the Sharks he played some great game's before injury

Would be a great pick up for 2023 with Luch & Tuilagi moving on.

He’s good as well, maybe why Nikora is having trouble getting re signed.

Those runs that Lawrence used to do off his hip? Be nice to have that happening again in the middle of the field; a good option to have and use at the right time.

Garner did it for half a season and was very successful and then next season Madge changed the tactics big time. Challenge with Nikora/Brooks is he often plays right edge, Brooks likes the left edge. But it was always a threat.

I mainly like listening to the Shane fella . Didn't need a lecture how dangerous Laurie backflip on scooter was. Most WT podcast are opinion based think there'd be scope for someone with connections to make one more factual based.

Isn’t the whole point of a podcast to give your opinion on a particular topic?

Agree with Mikaele and he has had plenty of time to prove himself. Not so sure on Tuilagi. Based on the two trials, I think he could develop into a superstar.

He’s been close to our best IMO in the trials. I’m really hoping the Manly deal isn’t done and we retain him.

He is very willing. Runs hard

Fantastic work ethic....

Popular ones have guests on, how many times can you listen to someone's opinion.

Jock Madden is the next to pattner Hastings.

He is one of the best halves prospects in ages.

Has the skills, the confidence, the ability to make the right descission when its needed.

He will get better.

No way he is allowed to walk.

I don't think we will go into 2023 with Hastings, Brooks, AD, and Madden. Too many halves.

I think either Brooks or Madden will leave. I would keep Madden.

Brooks could've left already but the club loves him.

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Brooks could've left already but the club loves him.

And he loves the club.
I doubt he will leave next year regardless what occurs this season.
Sheens has already set expectations this year isn't going to be great.
With some big recruits coming hardly an incentive for him to pack his bags early either.

 

[Bones]

Pele in for Tamou. Nikora in for Leilua. Plus Api and Papli'i and the youngens we already have. Great pack for 2023.

BUT...

We're still missing a strike centre. They seem to be instrumental for success in the modern game...

Strike centres are about as thin on the ground as ever. Even if you look at the rep side most are fullbacks who shift to the centres. Most of the top sides have steady centres rather than outstanding. The big money goes to fullbacks and that’s generally where the best outside backs end up.
