Why does recruitment feel no different to the last 10 years?
The recruitment will be justified or criticised by round 10 or so.....weve done nothing on the Park yet
Precisely! Iām giving it until round 15.The recruitment will be justified or criticised by round 10 or so.....weve done nothing on the Park yet
Itās most probably Brooks š¤£From CCTW's post this is interesting -
The player unhappy with the Hastings decision is not Laurie.
Hastings will play 7, receive a contract increase and the club afforded him an opp. to return to the NRL. Is the player unhappy because Hastings has been "treated" this way or he wants the same treatment?
Klemmar was wanted. The fans didn't want him to go.
Pap and API? Fair dinkum

Mate I was joking. I even put /s at the end so no-one would miss it.Which require a coach to release him, Which that coach won't do - And doesn't change what I said.
Also a totally different situation this time around with a 23 year old kid told he wasn't required by the club and had his contract offer pulled - to a 28 year old rep player signing with another club...
You think?
Next season, for all intent & purpose, won't be judged by the board as a success or failure imo.
Staines walks straight into our side. Will probably be our quickest player (not knowing actual speeds). Heās an improvement.Where exactly has our recruitment improved?
We have signed Klemmer and Staines, both unwanted at their respective clubs.
At the very, very least you have to acknowledge it's possible Maguire wasn't a "perfectly good" coach. Identifying what was wrong with the Tigers last year doesn't have to be an either or - it's possible that other things were bad AND Maguire wasn't any use. I guess time will tell: if you're right I imagine he'll be snapped up by another club in due course and go on to be very successful. I have my doubts but I've been wrong before.we sacked a perfectly good coach
I'd be interested to hear who you think the Tigers should have signed. Because you're sort of restricted in who you can sign to (a) players that are available and (b) no-one. Have a look here: https://leagueunlimited.com/news/37529-2023-nrl-player-movements/ Which club would you say is picking up all the players we've missed out on? Because it looks to me like there are about 6-10 genuinely high-profile player moves and we've done two or perhaps three of them. Do you think the Dragons (Liddle, Musgrove and Nick Lui-Toso) feel they've recruited better than the Tigers? How about the Knights (Jack Hetherington, Tyson Gamble, Jackson Hastings and Adam Elliott)? Souths (none)? Or the Storm (Tariq Sims, Joe Chan, Eliesa Katoa and Aaron Pene)?all I see is us picking the low hanging fruit once again.
I donāt want to get too scientific but was the DNA injection better than a total lobotomy? š¤š
ALL teams...It feels a lot better to me. Api and IP plus Klemmer and hopefully Bateman. I should add on Bateman I do have concerns but we need an edge backrower and there have been some positive reports about his form in the world cup.
We will have 4 new players coming into our pack who would make most teams in the NRL.

What's the difference between this and how we got in cap trouble with farah.
Still couldn't see the media or NRL putting pressure on Parra to release him like they did with us.Unless he kicks stones like he did with usā¦..
I didn't think of that, good point.Depends on if Brad arther wants an excuse to put junior in a year earlier
Agree, but who's responsibility is it for the halfback to be able to kick from further down the pitch.You realise we were usually kicking on the last from within our own 40, right?
Going off the most recent update from @CCTW specifically about Blore and Talau, would not surprise me if in the early stages of the season at least, we go with Bateman assuming he signs and either Blore or Talau in the backrow. Papali'i at 13 give the kid a bit more time to develop and bring him along slowly. Papali'i speculated he wanted to play through the middle anyway.
