Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Yes - their left edge defence is woeful and our right side attack is class. If we can hold the middle we will win. Worried about our bench though

re us vs Penrith...

Our forward pack will be lacking.
They seem to have a full side. We have our best backline IMHO, Heath Mason is being asked the big questions, but otherwise its down to Luai.

Isaiah Papalii doesn't even make their side and the Penrith bench is literally our old forward pack.
We will loose unless Penrith don't turn up. I am guessing they will want to play origin, so we will loose.

no thanks to hetherington
we would be better putting May to 13

Agree. We have enough playmakers with Api, Jarome, Mason, Latu to combine with the outside backs.
We also have enough forwards that can pass and offload.
We need to be more dominant through the middle to give the play makers and backs the ball in good field position, against a retreating defence.
Another starting NRL level quality prop would allow May or Sione to start at 13 before our 14th man comes on.

yup , if were to get them it’ll be in the second half when their bigger forwards are gassed

means we will need to play the long game which we aren’t good at lol

I thought the same, had a couple of multis with both sides winning, with Star and Claw to score in both.

Same . Toa, Bula , Mason and Fainu are going to give McLean and Talagi a bath .
Purdue and Laybutt is a much better defensive edge than McLean and Talagi. I’d be very concerned if I was Old man Cleary.
One of those “shit we match up poorly there” moments in a season

Us by 9

I think that’s the answer . We just havent admitted it yet . We go out and get 2 quality props.
My guess with how badly the titans are going , and the broncos , there will be some middles shaken from the tree in the offseason .

mclean also neverrrrr passes the damn ball

mclean also neverrrrr passes the damn ball

Yep , you can really jam him . He’s been smashed a few times because of it. Hopefully he gets there , I remember reading he was a prodigious talent coming through , that was the reason they were meh to Steven Chricton going to the dogs. . That’s not looking too good early doors …. Talagi is also freeway through there . I’d be chucking Sukkar at him all game . He runs a much better line with more power than Seyfarth. He will force Talagi to make contact with him on a few occasions . Just gotta be smart , hit the right shoulder and put some bruises into Talagis delts and traps .

How May shook 'trash mentality' for Tigers star role​

Benji has the potential to become another Uncle Wayne. He is a man-manager and a communicator who coaches the person as much as the footy player. Put the right coaches around him with the right roster, keep Richo stabilising and strengthening the front office, and Benji could become a coaching GREAT.

Ya got me all excited Slingshot.
Hopefully 20 years here winning 18 and ten straight. Starting today
Still luv ya Benj

they backed tago to be a better prospect than crichton , they are both on $750k 😬 bet they’d like that decision back .

I thought it was McLean ? I remember listening a podcast talking about how yes they had Tago but McLean was the real reason , as other clubs , probably us to be honest , were sniffing around him
Big time .

I took Helta Skelta in another multi but I’m worried the ball won’t get past Doobie. He has the same problem, seems to think the ball is his security blanket.

 

[SeanT]

Plenty of dud calls.

Very good forward pack. Just need some direction.

They are a good #9 & #7 away from being a good team.

Thinking the same. No offense to Campbell but he needss to go back to reserves if he wants to learn the halfback craft. Talented but not working right now. Yeah a 9 is a must

wouldn’t suprise me , they’re both locked up long term there’s another mclean brother in cup they have big wraps too .

$750 for Tago is way overs, but that is a bargain for Crichton.
