Who was that? Angus Critchton? Alex Johnson?

Some kid. Landon? Lincoln? Logan? Gonna have to google it.

Hate these kids being on full display. Too much pressure on them, just let their playing speak for them. Honestly, if they're as good as they're made out to be, once they hit grade they're playing ability will speak for itself and everyone will see. Last great young centre prodigy we had that everyone wanted that i can remember was Moses Suli, didn't end too well for us and for him either to be fair.

Oh you mean the one talked up by Phil Gould? I’m sure anything Richo said re him would of pailed in comparison.

Man FFS you're supposed to be a Tigers supporter all you do when you post is bag the club from all angles.
Why put us that want the club to do well through your misery, show some positively.

Dont fall for it mate, he's a troll..
Just mute him and you won't have to see it

Makasini will go one of two ways.

1) Not go on to meet the expectations
2) Meets or even surpasses expectations and gets poached

So while it may be exciting right now, ya know it won’t end well for us.

The weak stay weak and the strong get stronger.

Unless… we really turn a corner as a club.

Looks like Isaac Moses is on the P.R bandwagon again in the papers drumming up support for the next superstar player Makasini.

Don't think moses is behind it with a title like "The ‘special’ talent who snubbed rugby to pledge future to Benji and the Tigers"

I didn’t think Isuk Measles was his manager?

 

[tigahhh]

yeah he’s not lol

 

[hammertime]

This would have purely been done after the May signing to let makasini know he's still a priority and he's pathway isnt blocked. That and that there is a kid who wants to be here and play for Benji, unlike that bandwagon douche that just left.

That’s the spirit…

we were right in the to get corey horsburgh... so if that fell our way, our pack would have been quite strong..

I think our recruitment is more strategic at the moment as opposed to buying for the sake of buying.

I think it was a case of missed Horsborough but jagged May. I don’t believe it was a case of both in the frame but an either/or. Big Red is a good player, but we definitely did better with May

Would of been nice to jag them both though

I think we will get the wooden spoon. Hard draw. Last round vs titans is another spoonbowl showdown and they will outpoint us. We have the worst coach in the game. No resilience. And haven't recovered from the Galvin saga. The club should fold. Sick and tired of ref blaming all the time. Win a game! Win by more than 4 points so that refereeing decisions aren't the difference. Luai in origin camp only makes it harder. Play raiders 2 days after origin. Week after play manly off a bye at their home. Then roosters most likely without luai with moses out of origin. Then Warriors in NZ. Titans at Leichhardt is a tough one. Interesting to see how eels vs titans game goes in 2 weeks with no Moses for parra

With no Moses I think the Eels get the spoon. I have faith we can win two over the next four.

Anyone advocating for Reynolds to come to the tigers should have a good look at DCE this year. The cliff is high and while the timing of the fall is unpredictable it's extremely fast when it happens .....

 

[Bellend]

Reyno does not want to come back to Sydney. It is like Bud Sullivan who does not want to come back either.

 

[balmain boy]

I can envisage Doueihi being in demand.

On minimum wage as a 29-30 roster spot clubs would be happy to have an experienced backup.
That's about it for him.
It's an indictment in our roster that he's still getting game time

I’ve been scouring NRL club rosters, off contract players, NSW Cup & QLD Cup to see who are the realistic options as a backup halfback for us could be.

This is based on no Reynolds, no Bud with Luai & Latu 1st choice halves & Mason back-up 5/8.

I’ve narrowed it down to 2 - Jonah Glover & Jock Madden, both goal kickers too. Yes Jock lol but he’s managed by Orr who we don’t seem to rate highly with but Jock may not have many options.

We’ve invested a bit in the development of Max Liles & he could land himself a NSW Cup contract but he’s not at the level of the above 2.

Curtis Rona commits!

He's been a bit slow committing but looking forward to finally seeing him in our colours. 🤣
