Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

It's just total bias against a struggling club and just gets brushed under the carpet

I don't know what the club can do

The NRL don't care

The real question that needs to shed though is of the touch judge

He needs to be sat down in front of a replay to explain to his boss and tigers officials as to why he should keep his job while watching the pass and explaining to everyone how he missed something so blatant

Put the idiot on the spot and embarrass him

Can we live stream it please.
Maybe channel 9 could televise it prior to our next game.

So now it's an opinion? - You rolled it out as definitive or fact..

And despite you ignoring it,
there was zero footage the conclusively showed he was offside...
Regardless of what you think you saw.

Likewise with your assertion that forward passes were thrown that caused tries.
Raiders scored 4 tries. Popular opinion on here is that 3 were off forward passes.
Can you identify each and explain how the suspected forward pass, which you state are ‘missed all the time’, directly related to each try?
 
batboy said:
Show me this 'assertion' I made you miserable wannabe bully?
I commented on our try only, And that it was clearly offside.

But Yes - The footage was quite clear on the both passes...
(One replay was almost directly in line)

The Footage from our try wasn't remotely as clear,
And the angle mainly shown was from behind play.

Why are you getting upset?
Is it because you know I’m going to call you a sissy little whiny [This word has been automatically removed] who blames the refs because his side is too hopeless to win a game?
…or are you just depressed?

Can anyone explain why we wouldn’t do this?


Manly have been able to look to secure a player worth about $350,000 to cover for their injured star but have been unable to find a replacement.

The Tigers were unwilling to let go of Tommy Talau despite Talau joining Manly next year.

It now leaves Manly unable to fill the gap before the mid-year trade window ends on August 7.

The Tigers are also going to wait until the end of the season to get their hands on 2024 recruits Samuela and Latu Fainu who Manly would have released early if the Tigers wanted.

Right call in my opinion. I think the default opinion that Tigers Admin is a joke is wrong here. Fainus better off finishing the year in a stronger reserve grade side rather than getting off to a poor start in our ressies or first grade teams. Right move not rewarding Talau for his disloyalty and poor performances by allowing him to leave early. Lastly Manly would be the ones receiving a current "first grader", why would the Tigers want to do them a favour? (Although it's debatable as to whether Talau is a first grader).

Fainus will be better off with a full pre season and a fresh start next year.

We should most definitely have released Talau as soon as we can. He's wasting space for us, shouldn't play again in any grade.
I'd have thought we'd want to start working on the training ground with the new boys asap. But then with the hopeless state of the nsw cup side maybe they shouldn't be exposed to that in case incompetence is contagious.

That pass tho. Ow my.

That pass was the best thing Nof has done in years. Sad.

You'd hope that that was his last game at the club, his defence was still atrocious. Slow, stupid, and just a total waste of space these days. But sadly it's likely no one else will want to touch him either. Does Manly need a backup winger?? Any takers, anywhere in the world? And yes we'll have to chip in at least 200k to get rid of him, but we have bucketloads of cash, so that's no biggie either.

Is it time for the club to really take a stance against the NRL , because we are getting screwed every week, those two forward passes were blatant, blind Freddy could have picked them up , the club can not sit back and let this happen week in week out ,

100 percent BP. The other funny thing is Laurie being penalised for throwing the ball and back chatting. Today we find out Weighton basically said the ref was cheating the Raiders and has to go to the judiciary. Yet no penalty during the game, funny that.

Anyone who watched Leeds v Leigh last night would not want us to sign Sezer.
Our Wests Tigers attack looks scintillating compared with the crap Leeds dish up.
Brandon Wakeham is an immortal compared with how Sezer plays these days.

I'd love to see this signing not come through like the Woodsy signing that was a sure thing.

I would have let Tommy go and grab those new boys weeks ago , yep,dump them straight into reserves and let them go , could well have helped out the second grade team , I would have also moved Reilly up to fist grade and give him a blast there , if no good move him on end of year with Others

I remember years ago when the club preferred Nofo over Korobiete. Koro to me is heaps better than Tedesco and a much bigger loss.

His last contract was criminal.

It was Mick Potter and then Jason Taylor.
One was playing Koroibete is reserve grade and the other playing Addo-Carr is reserve grade.
Both were scoring length of the field tries in reserve grade every week and both quoted they need to work on their defence before becoming regular 1st graders.
Our recruitment & retention has been atrocious, Junior Tatola was a star forward all the way through the grades at Balmain, then one of these coaches said he’s was t good enough for NRL.
Everyone blames our CEO and Chairman, not even sure if the current two were about during these times, but whoever was in charge was simply backing the judgement of our coach and recruitment manager at those times,

Yeah maybe Sheens & Benji know big change is coming this off-season so don't want to introduce the Fainus to potentially disgruntled players and poor cultural influences.

I suppose the off-season gives the Club an opportunity to finalise our coaching structure, say goodbye to a few of our passive, low IQ, poor attitude players & re-set for the pre-season.

However I think I said the same thing last year.

Looking forward to having halves who can get
us points. We're rolling upfield with ease most
games but can't convert opportunities. We're
last for points scored behind St George who
are +85 points ahead of us. We've been abysmal.

Kaito I honestly don’t think we will see any improvement in this area unless we identify the lack of purposeful ball runners are a much bigger problem than the halves alone.

Brooks was definitely in our top 2 players yesterday and I’d say Laurie was in our top 5 players, so how were they the problem yesterday ?
