Disappointing last few days tbh..
Pretty high on Richo but nothing but releasing players and nothing brought in or even an extension for Api or Tao etc..
Surely he knows us fans are upset as we are the ones paying for this and do expect something.
The deadline was yesterday and the club has not even advised who they upgraded internally even though no one deserves it.
Fingers crossed for some good news soon.

wouldn’t that be up to richo to squeeze more out or do they give him a set figure and say make it work.

What do you expect them to do on the field now? ( the rest of the season)… they can see the writing on the wall too..

Well… I heard they have one person assessing the upcoming junior talent whilst the likes of Canterbury have seven …i don’t know the process of how they would get more people into these roles but you would assume the Owners reps would need to approve it ?
Agree. As I said amongst the top teams.
What is a better spine.
Walsh/Cobbo. Papenhuyzen
Hunt/Mam. Munster
Reynolds. Hughes
Paix. Grant/Wishart
Similarly the starting pack has 2 of the best middles in Haas and Carrigan. These 2 are better than any 2 middles of any other club. But after them it's just kids and journeyman. Edges are decent but nothing special. No strike weapon and no defensive enforcer. When comparing their whole pack not just the best 2 but 8-17 to other sides are they any better than other top teams?
Add in their outside backs are no better on paper than any other side.

Normally they only give up on field after they give up at the front office. The next month will be telling.

Man, it's a gloomy day outside and even worse on the net Google news sport has five negative Tigers articles, didn't take long for those mongrels to stick the knife in.
They're like sharks feeding on a whale carcass, come from everywhere when blood is in the water.

😂 You must've missed the 56-18 by Melbourne and the 50-12 by Canberra.
Are we gonna pretend that those aren't in the exact same category of loss?
😂 Yet they're behind us and have a worse differential.
'Better Side'
You honestly think I was referring to only last year? They played in a grand final three years ago... The same year we won our first spoon.
Are you drunk?
I didn't say there wasn't new guys. I said they've got more familiarity.
We started the year with two new wingers, a centre that barely played last year, a fullback that hadn't played since august, a brand halves combination that didn't start doing much together until January, which has been blown up 2 months ago. We started this year with a new prop pairing, a new edge pairing and multiple new faces on our extended bench.
....so yeh, more familiarity. Like, across the board.
'Bang on'. I made a correct point 😂
You can't just brush off context around your 'facts' as irrelevant and 'banging on' 😂
Haha, you love 'Facts are' as a sentence starter aye... 😂
'Facts are...', 'we were seen as...' by whom? How is that a fact? Are IOU talking about somebody's arbitrary, subjective opinion kn our recruiting?
I don't. We're due some luck.
We're due a chance to see most of our best side on the paper for a while.
Something we've barely seen.
Like, at all.
Latu and Luai, our likely and best halves pairing moving forward, haven't even started a game together yet and people want to lambaste everyone at the club re; recruitment.
Goodness me.

They're below us.
That's literally the only metric that matters.
But we can add their worse differential to it if we want...
They've had more of their squad available for longer this year. They've been without Moses, granted, but that's about it.

What is about shitting on your previous employer that these pricks get off on? You develop and debut them early, and then release them early so they can earn buckets and still they wanna shite on us.
My boss when I was an apprentice was a good bloke, the next was Jim Masterton for about 18months, both taught me a lot and set me up for a life career, I still love them both for it.
June 30 is the deadline for mid season signings external to transfer to a club. Players can be upgraded or signed for next year at any stage.

You know that won’t happen.
But I do remember Blore snapping Brown in half, that was entertaining.

Agree, but a couple of more depth signings to assist this year;s second half would have been very, very useful. Our depth sucks big time
I feel you. Friday nights game for some reason did something to me and it wasn't even that bad. I usually have the shits for a few hours and then I'm good again, but not this time. I actually think I'm done with the club. It should be fun supporting your club, but it's just pathetic now. I don't think we will ever get any better and I fail to see how we will come close to winning a comp in the next 5 years.
