Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

When we discuss the players to move on, nearly every conversation leads to Brent Naden.

I get it- pretty high price for a KOE guy.

Just won the KOE player's player.

I'm starting to lean on the idea that this is the kind of guy you WANT pushing the 1st grade players- someone that doesn't fall into KOE & just go through the numbers.

Agree , the problem is when he got called up he all but cost us the game against the dogs by himself . He was beyond reprehensible! It would be hard for Benji to trust him again after that . He was disgusting . And he’s supposed to be a leader. Much like Bateman .

Agree. However I think the size difference is what made him hold back and try and laugh it off. He knew Mahoney deserved a hiding, but he couldn't be the one to give it to him no matter how badly he wanted to.

The size difference and the nature of these types of conversations around thuggery slow someone like Mahoney to behave the way he has this past season .
I’m not condoning it , but in years gone past he would have been wiped out via a huge hit / dirty play / straight up fist headbutting . There’s no outlet anymore to get square someone like Mahoney . I mean you can’t even bash him because he , like all good dummy halves would only run it when the opportunity / chance presents itself .

I particularly like the big gaps between each sentence. Is that for effect or bcoz it’s easier read? Is @TSP doing that for his fellow blind Tigers?

Post away T.
Don’t forget people, you’re here by choice and for different opinions, (as in not the same).
If I don’t wanna read something, I move to the next post. My choice.
Enjoy your day.

Makes it much easier to read, particularly if it's a lengthy post.

It’s not criticism though ! I just said can we move on from the “sack Benji and the coaching staff because it’s a boys club topic “ . It’s literally the same conversation over and over .
It’s the new “Luke brooks is shit “ topic . That’s all I said . Where’s the criticism ? Where’s the personal attack ?

As @Buttface said, if you don't like his posts, don't read em, or put him on block.

What type of middle do you think we need ? For me I think a workhorse , with strong leg drive , a quick play the ball , and a motor to cover for other tiring middles is the absolute ultimate . I know this person is wishful thinking , but Cam Murray at 13 , or Radley , even Max Plath or Cotter . That type of middle .
I don’t think we need the middle to make that initial hit up , with the backs hopefully getting through the advantage line more often . We need the guy after that , the one who gets to his belly and is up and about , causing the defence to constantly retreat .

Yes, that’s the way the game is going.
Tireless, mobile workhorses.

Really good point Chad.
I’m on the fence with Naden, has obvious talent but also has brain snaps that cost us. Personally I feel his snaps occured when he was out of his comfort zone a bit. His a big guy but I don’t see him as overly physical and might be why he shoulder charges in contact.
Whilst I don’t see him as a first choice player due to consistency he still exists as an X-factor and with consistency part of his development can become an important piece of our puzzle this season.
Probably salary is one of the corncerns though I doubt he is pushing anything more then high 3’s. in fact I expect all of our ‘undesirable back liners’ wouldn’t be on the cap for anything greater then 400k.

Or let him know he’s being repetitive , derivative , and it’s causing never ending conflict about nothing .
Because that’s what it does , a new person chimes in with the anti to his argument and it’s 5 pages of nonsense . Literally the Luke brooks saga playing out again .
So no ! I won’t! Much like I won’t let the whole magpies v Balmain crap just go through to the keeper .
It’s word spaghetti . And like I said , is the online equivalent of howling at the moon !
There’s 6 subjects on here guaranteed to get someone that dopamine hit !
Luke Brooks , Madge , Benji , coaching , the dynamic duo and the big one. Balmain v wests ! Literally all bar Benji and whether he will fail or not , have all come to a conclusion.

I’m optimistic that Jerome might be able to get more out of Nado
