Ah well..you would think another one bites the dust unless they only sponsor for 2023 which is doubtful but not out of the question . Guess we will know if all the commentary of a meeting today was just BS if a long term deal with Eels is announced
 
Why is everyone so negative on the dogs?

They’ve suffered like we have for a long period - have shown us an example of how to get better - even though we’re not doing it as well at the moment.

Good luck to them.

We should stop being jealous and try and emulate…. Or just try and poach Gus after he has some success their.

Let the pile on begin.
 
My dad told me he had heard from an inside source that mosses has knocked backed eels first offer. I have no idea who he has got it off and and know idea how good the info is but I thought I would share

Gus can’t build crap. He wanted a Panthers Dynasty with Moylan, DWZ, Mansour, Blake, Cartwright, RCG, Egan, Latu etc. signed them all on big back ended contracts. The panthers then had to pay every single one of them to play at other clubs after they realized the ridiculous money he had them on.

They are trying to buy a premiership.

I think the best way is to buy your way into the 8 and develop your youth to try and win it 2-3 years after that.

Lol yep his “achievements” are very much exaggerated and mostly by himself.

If he was planning to leave the club, I'm sure he'd cash in on whatever he was entitled to first.

cause they are invading our forum. home you guys go.
 
Will Penisini would be worth looking at or at least making an inquiry about his salary expectations. Has already played 33 NRL games and 4 tests and is still eligible for jersey Flegg next year. We desperately need a quality centre and might be worth trying to get in his ear while parramatta are focusing on their halves.

Dogs forum is putrid.
They really have no idea and just get carried away with random rubbish.
They had one good poster, his name was Nasheed, who actually had great intel and was funny as [This word has been automatically removed] to read, but I think the mods banned him or something. Whats left is dopes like that Steve guy.

Getting rid of posters like Nasheed for a reason I cannot see is like when the club got rid of Thurston and Cook. That club and its supporters dont know a good thing when they have them, at least we know a good player when we see it.

Tigers forum, this is Nasheed. His mail is incorrect. Sorry to say but he is an excellent troll. Do not let him fool you eith lies.

I feel us and the dogs have gone about things totally different. They have gone for a quick fix paying massive money to a few ‘stars’ in the hope it fixes them. We have gone in from the base up to fix our juniors with a long term view. The Dogs missed the finals in Flegg and Matt’s then scraped in Ball, we had a junior club above them in every grade. The Magpies undefeated Matt’s team is considered the best one in memory, every single player from that team has committed to the club with multiple ones (reportedly) signing 4 year deals.

Maybe their way will work better then ours, 2023 won’t show this though, let’s see where the clubs are placed in 2025 once Gus’s salary cap skills are in full force.

Yeah that's my feeling. We have recruited to get into the 8 and bring our juniors through to take the next step in a 3-5 year plan. To me the dogs are going all out for really good, albeit some might say mercanaries, for quick success. If they don't get a grand final in next two - three years then they havnt got the juniors coming through to take them consistently in the top 4.

Not saying Tigers are going great guns but investing in youth is the only way. Get them playing together from juniors to NRl. If you get 5-6 from the same team then we are great shape.
 
How's Brooks going at training? Playing halfback? No idea what the backline will look like.
