Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Apparently he's focusing on his coaching.

I dare say too much public comment about fans, the inner workings of our club and how much he loves WT and the womens team doesn't help him in his coaching career, but now I'm just speculating.

He had some good input.
Makes sense though.

Can't be praising the enemy publicly.

Hopefully he’s being lined up to replace Noddy.

That's my prediction every sense he quit social media a few weeks ago.

 

[Modman]

I’ve heard people argue the reason he’s struggling is cos he has no halves. But that didn’t affect Dylan Lucas. Who knows, maybe he just needs a fresh environment. Sometimes it’s all a struggling player needs.

Good point it was clear who by far was the more dominant edge forward was. I also been watching him closely and looks very disinterested a lot of the time . He does show he has plenty of potential. Definitely a case of the right coach getting him up for each game hopefully it's Benji. I do think hel put on some more size and could become an impact we are needing . 🤞

Absolutely. Need people around with love and optimism for the place. No more mercenaries.

Watching the end of nrlw yesterday and Noddy seemed really passive in the crucial last minutes and a bit awkwardly jokey with the players in a David Brent sort of way. North sure if he's any good as a coach but just didn't strike as highly engaged.

I really liked the Adel podcasts. Don't have patience for the others, with the call ins and the general chats and bloated banter (sorry noble podcasters!) but I thought rob and Adel had good amount of analysis without fluff. Is there anyone else doing a to the point analysis of games?

I haven't watched a huge amount of Knights football of late but I feel I have to ask if we're at all worried about Kai Pearce-Paul? It's hard for anyone to perform when a team is swirling around the drain but when I do see them he doesn't seem to be standing out even if a pretty putrid outfit. We've got a pretty poor record with signing edge back rowers from Adam Blair to Isaiah Papali'i - how serious is the risk that we've ballsed up again?

He does his job defensively for them, he's a strike weapon in attack but because their halves are terrible he doesn't get utilised

 

[Camel2281]

I watched that game yesterday , taking particular notice of KPP,they still swing the ball almost exclusively left to #11, KPP is not being used much even on the right, maybe the players are off him

Their attack has always been centred around going left to Pongo because that's where he loves to operate. It's made Dylan Lucas look great and Bradman Best plays on that side too

 

[clontarfkid]

yep 🙁

No doubt...but hes on a huge deal from 27..will be hard to Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon us on $$/800/900k
Big question is will he be happy under Benji
If so,despite Moses as manager,he just mite hang around
But personally.we shld have contingency plans in place

Have watched him closely since we signed him. He’s not a game changer and usually plays as well as he’s utilised.

If he gets early ball which is rare he can be very dangerous, but he’s not the kind of backrower that will go after the game on his own.

If you're going to be a leader or coach, unfortunately you need to be somewhat articulate.

Noddy from all reports is a great bloke, but if you're a jolty speaker and stumble on your words often like Noddy, it doesn't convey the message properly.

his results aren't great either, so something isn't right there.

Mate I think fans get enough of other fans opinions. They want what Adel brought. A new angle.

Good to see them bring on some of the journos, but some coach analysis and someone who can speak about the club internals was good. Not sure how much the club would have appreciated some of the info that was leaked though.

 

[tigahhh]

All Out Rugby League reports that Jack Bird and Royce Hunt could both be headed to Super League
•Bird (Tigers) has been told he’s free to test the market despite a year left on his deal
•Hunt (Tigers) still has 2 years remaining but may also be offered to UK clubs

I'd like to think ours is pretty analytical. And we talk about the pathways a lot.

Couple of tid bits of info from a few WT fans with fingers on the pulse ...

- Taylan May signing locked in (Rob Bechara on last night's Claws Out podcast)
- Tino Tavana on a pre-season T&T (@poopy_diaper on the WT Faithful X account)

Happy Monday!

I asked for Big Tino not Tiny Tino

Which one is that?

He won't ever be coaching at the Tigers again. There is a reason he was moved on.
