Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

So what’s the go with RCG anyway? He’s leaving Parramatta, turned St George down but wants to remain in Sydney. Seemingly no interest from us so who is he looking at? Roosters, Dogs, a return to Penrith maybe? I’ve heard nothing since he turned St George down. We should go all out to land him I reckon. He would top off our pack nicely, though he probably doesn’t want to come here.

Why is there so much hate for Anasta? I get it about his time here, but that aside I think he is quite fair in everything he says, even if I do disagree with some things. I like him.

You can see when it comes to us he enjoys it when there’s bad news about us going around and he enjoys criticising us every chance he gets. At times it’s deserved don’t get me wrong, but when there’s a bad story involving us he loves the negative attention we get you can see it on his face. He clearly regretted coming to us and was a shit player for us when he was here.

I don't really watch enough to say for certain - it feels like he has settled a bit on this recently - but for me it was that he would jump at every opportunity to talk shit about the "basket case" tigers.

He's really not bad on 360.

Although I do think it is a strong conflict of interest that someone who is employed by a broadcast network to give his expert opinion on the NRL and its players manages at least one of those very players (Munster).

How many times has he said he had to buy his own tape?!

Admittedly, if that is true it is just plain embarrassing....

I also agree that our forwards are currently a lot weaker than this season.
I really don’t think the likelihood of cutting ties with Bateman hurts us much, but in saying that we need to recruit at least one edge back rower, whether it be a starter or depth, otherwise we are asking too much too soon of our emerging players.
If we sign Kobe Hertherington or Jack Williams, then we adequately cover 13, but I still worry we are also one quality, intimidating big man short. That’s where the more I think about it, the more I think RCG would be very handy if we could somehow get him for 2 years at a decent price.
Then we no doubt need a quality outside back, Montoya would do.

I'm worried about our bench players!
Hunt sits there for 1 hour.
TDS sits there for 1 hour.
That leaves two to fight over prop rotation or back rower rotation.
The backs had better not get a HIA or injured-------------no replacements?
Jack Bird had better stay fit all season.

I disagree. I dont think it shows he enjoys it at all. IMO it's fans being sensitive.
 
If anything- Anasta is the one most likely to defend the Tigers.

Hooper is the absolute worst. But all the journos- the guys that never played- they take delight in giving it to the Tigers because it gets them clicks.

Tallis & Anasta are the two that don't lay the boot in on every occasion.

Pretty sure the Tigers did something to Corey Parker though- that dude is carrying a grudge.

From memory (which is not as good as it used to be) when we played the donkeys Parker tried to bully some of our smaller players and Dane Laurie (our original player not the second) stood up to him and looked like he was going to kill him,Parker went pasty faced voided his bladder and bowels at the same time and backed away at the rate of knots..
At least that is how my memory remembers it.

Wah wah wah...so the media has been forced to hold back on us because it upsets the supporters.

It's everything that's wrong with this club.

Well considering that the coach of Flegg in 21 was Wayne Lambkin who did coach us to first place then took over for the NSW Cup side in 22 to coach us to second last on the ladder while Gardiner did get us to 3rd the year before, I say Gardiner did a good job certainly better than Lambkin did. I don’t think it’s lazy considering it’s supposed to be the grade before first making the transition to first grade if you’re lucky to get there. Credit to Lambkin to coach the Flegg side to first place in Flegg, but then he just fell off the cliff to get us second last in 22 then only one spot better in 23. Also if Penrith were willing to take Gardiner on as an assistant coach, shows he’s clearly rated given how strong a team they are.

I don’t know how anyone can judge any grade this year . We had Massey and flegg players making up most of the KOE cup team , sg ball , flegg and KOE cup players playing most weeks in nrl , and sg ball and flegg squad members making up the flegg team .
Hopefully next year the teams are more levelled out X and everyone knows where they really sit within the hierarchy of the club , to form combinations .
Because this year more than any other year was all about individual development , completely at the expense of every single grade .
Being a lower grade coach , trying to advance your career would really suck at the moment .
As results would matter . Unless you manage to develop most of the team you coached into nrl players .
I don’t know how you prove success / your resume with what happened this past season .

Anasta’s default setting is to go after us. It’s usually starts with the loaded backhanded rhetorical question. Sometimes it’s the segway to the tigers topic with the half giggle and smirk.

Anasta & Benji are tight, he defended us heaps this
year on 360. They're part of that 'It club' us, and journos
get a peek into but never can fully comprehend.

I think he has narcissistic traits. Tigers “made him look bad” even though we gave him a lifeline. He’ll throw his hosts under a bus any chance he can get. Except Geordie who would probably throttle him.
