Losing Marty and JAC were massive failures.No to players like Napa, Brown I personally would look to Taupau if we are going after any big men with experience if the price is right

Cant beleive we have members of the forum talking up Dylan & Kyle.Disagree. They went Super League and didn’t give two hoots about the traditional clubs.
Yet every paper is reporting it - more so than the dogs.Tigers haven't made any public comment about Moses or anyone else this off-season.
Flanagan is outright useless. If he didn't have a famous name and hadn't once jagged a ridiculous contract from a club that ought to know better he'd have been out of first grade two years ago, most probably playing for a second-tier club in England. If we sign him I will be absolutely livid - talk about making the club a laughing stock.Wow.
MM to then Flanno - geez talk about getting a clubs rejects whilst they beat us to the primary target.
Flanno game style isn't suited to Sheens/Benji style. He is basically a Hastings model but smaller & takes the line on alot less. He isn't an attacking minded half.
- Flanno isn't a setup/controller, he needs structure setup for him to then benefit from things.
- He isn't a runner of the ball. He isn't an organiser and is more of a link man which in Sheens mould doesn't work, Sheens wants his halves to take the line on & play what's infront of them.
- If we look at basic stats over 60+ games he is a 35% try assist & 30% Line Drop merchant per game which is less than Brooks by a gap and he touches the ball more than Brooks per game. His effectiveness rating in an attacking style isn't high.
- His upside is in defence where he has 50% less misses than Brooks despite his attempts being similar over last 3yrs.
Honestly if we are looking at Flanno it should only be as a backup low cost option which I couldn't see happening. We would be better off keeping Brooks/AD as our halves options.
No-each member to be sent pokie coupons to be used at Laundy pubs.Gus did say that the leading up to Christmas should be exciting for the bulldogs fans.. so they got him?
Thanks Jason Taylor and PascoeLosing Marty and JAC were massive failures.
I agree Flanagan’s best footy is ahead of him, but we need a “take no prisoners” kind of 7 if Brooks plays 6?Not really. Just saying what are our options should we miss out on MM
Kyle does remind me of Brooks though, ability but confidence driven player.
He was looking good till the Roosters shafted him and he hasn’t been the same since.
Form is temporary only, just remember that.
Perhaps however - Gus has said Moses will probably stay at eels and they have not given Moses any offer. And that has been reported in the media.Media loves WT
Re MM, we keep quiet for a change - it doesn't matter.
They report it because it suits their agenda (clicks) :
1. If we sign MM we have paid huge overs and they spend months on that
2. We don't sign MM and we have missed out AGAIN because no-one wants to go to the club in crisis - and they spend months on that
Its a win- win for the gutter crawlers.
Who cares what the paper is reporting?Yet every paper is reporting it - more so than the dogs.
Yep and that’s how we ended up with old Sheensy aided by a total greenhorn.Look at the Ciraldo situation - seriously how would another coach come in knowing they were second choice - and not just second but like not even considered until someone else pulled out. Very difficult.
Marty is over the hill, and JAC was not a priority when we needed forwards, a spine, ans some outside backs to feed him.Losing Marty and JAC were massive failures.
Of Bel-Air?The Fresh Prince 🤴🏽
I'm insinuating that people in our club leak to the media and not just leak, but leak the wrong narratives which don't serve us - whereas other clubs not as much - which I can only assume from the amount and content put out by the media.Who cares what the paper is reporting?
If you are a supporter who reacts to, and is embarrassed by, everything reported in the papers - you might as well give up until Tigers are a long-term finals prospect, because struggling teams are never outside of the speculation.
His surname doesnt helpi dont understand why Kyle is on the outer,every KOE game this year i watched he had the game by the scruff of the neck
main point is yes the Tigers have done better than the Latrell situation but they are still significantly behind the better clubs at how they negotiate. Someone has talked to the media about our interest in MM rather than just do it on the sly like Gus.
I am only stating this because I want us to get the best results possible and I think Canterbury are beating us at the moment off the field
