For those who care Cameron Kanaan did a pec earlier in the year and is off contract with a few offers including one from us. Loves the club and wants to stay though.

Meh, could stay in flegg for another year. Not sure where he would play though, he'd be a backup in flegg level

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

Too good at his job? Made Kimmorley look like a fool?

Do you know something?

 

[Camel2281]

Been saying it for years to be honest

 

[Tom Shines]

Brooks just needs good players around him …

What is it?

2026 will be his year, when he takes control of the team.

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?

The faithful boys do a good job , with good knowledge of the juniors .
Personally I find rob to be an emotional wreck , and way too fickle and reactionary . He’s the definition of “what have you done for me lately” in regards to the tigers . It’s fair enough I get it , with how shit we have been for the last 14 years , just doesn’t make good listening . I thought when adel would actually break things down , and explain rationally and effectively the what and the why , it was good to see Rob starting to realise how in dire need of emotional regulation he is lol .
I think all the pods do a good job , there’s overlap on a few of them , and I think a couple IMO wests tigers and tiger town especially , should merge and maybe just have their podcast under 1 banner on different nights. .

Souths are not letting go Tallis Duncan. He is close to first picked for us.

No way!

I only listen to Rob and Adel.

Westslife Podcast - Aaron’s voice does my head in. I know he can’t help it but he sounds like a dentists drill when he talks.

Wests Tigers Podcast - Steve is so pessimistic and looks like Harold from Neoghbours with the voice of the bubble boy from Seinfeld. I put him in the knob category. Mmmm….
Garry looks exactly how he sounds - fat. And he’s a know all. And the other two are just monotone. Don’t know what happened to the Scottish kid with the lisp that would given Kenny Callender nightmares saying Super Sleuth at 66 to 1.

Wests Tigers Faithful - those guys are great and hilarious.

Brooks just needs good players around him …

Yeah. 12 of them!

 

[Tom Shines]

Yeah. 12 of them!

16

You are so right TS. I left my abacus at home.

2026 will be his year, when he takes control of the team.

What’s this fixation with people constantly repeating that Brooks will be the main man cos DCE is gone. Do you not realise they have signed Fogarty? You see, Manly figured out in a year, what we couldn’t in 10. He is not a halfback or an organiser. He’s a runner. They probably already knew that when they signed him.

I enjoy most of the podcasts. I do skip a bit from one to the other. I probably enjoy Mac and Reedy the best as the cover everything, all grades and seem to have a good handle on the young kids coming through. They also have a good sense of humour and seem not to take themself to serious.

I think Eddie does a great job as the anchor on his podcast but I think it needs a revamp. Iam sure he is an absolute passionate supporter but Garry can be very hard to listen to. I personally think Eddie should team up with Rob on the other podcast and maybe recruit a third member.

Anyway the old story if you don’t like it you don’t have to listen

I think you missed something.

Which one is that?

Wests Tigers Faithful

I think Cameron is a bit under the radar tbh. He made his NSW cup debut earlier in the year and was in very good form in Flegg. I think if he was healthy he'd be the Flegg fullback right now over Logan Brookes but it's all retrospect. I like them both obviously.

That’s brutal … I don’t know how you can listen to Rob . I have to turn him off at times . It’s funny from a car crash point of view for a little bit , but it’s so irrational and not even grounded in reality . The things he talks about are strategies that went out in the 90s as well.l Like the never ending criticism of bombing to the corner . It’s now got a term , dropping the ball in the “cage”.
I don’t mind the guy , anybody who loves this club as much as I do , like we all do , has a shared history with me , but I can’t stand the wrist cutting . Kills me .
Steve is negative though . I just think he’s not translating what he wants to say correctly . He just wants the club to be the top of the table and be associated with excellence , so anything below that is a fail . For me , I think it’s way too early in the rebuild to even discuss those things . Benji and the boys have right attitude now .
It’s knockout footy. Take it a week at a time . It’s so weird , much like the never ending comebacks this year , it’s like this team needs a blowtorch applied to switch on . Such a weird contrast to mentally weak teams of the last few years .

I'm pretty sure it's sarcasm as Luke and his Manager had other players forced out of the club because Lukey boy wanted 'The keys' to the team. Brooks set us back a decade. It's hilarious people outside of the Tigers finally realising, it wasn't us, it was him all along. He's trash

 

[Telltails]

I thought the only time Manly looked dangerous apart from in the first minute was when DCE had the ball. Things didn't come off in that game but if he doesn't fire they all look lost - including Brooks.
