Don’t bag the bloke,he’s only 21
Small but plenty of heart,he will be good utility for the bears
He’s been playing first grade at as young fella

Wasn’t bagging him, just reality. I have a family friend who coached him so I know him well from the juniors.

He is a tough bugger and will give you everything he’s got. I hope he makes it over in Perth

 

[Rock Hopper Steve]

Fair dinkum fellas,he’s a tigers junior,played Aussie schoolboys and stuck loyal,pleaze

I get your loyal sentiment but if you want a team to compete in the top half of the competition you need to be constantly churning the top 30 for better talent.

You have to take the emotion out of it, top 4 teams do.

Hopefully Murray is asking him right now if he can get a lift over to W.A. with him.

Nah, I've got a bit more faith in Murray than I did in Heath. I think he's got the potential to become a solid benchie at some stage.

Adam Doueihi 35% win rate this year.
Jerome Luai 25% winning rate
Jock Madden 40% winning rate.

Do you want the player who has some good individual highlight moments but stifles everyone else, or do you want the pkayer that has few highlights but brings the best out in others and the one we win more games with?

Adam Doueihi was in now way shape or form our best half

So your saying madden was the best half this year?

What if we moved on both of them so that we can pick up Fogerty and one of Manly's forwards, would you pack his bags for him now, something to ponder.

I reckon Mason wont even see a game in NRL for the Bears either ..

 

[Don Kershane]

Yep what is it about those clowns that drive a black Ram

Baa ouch!

Going by results, going by how the team plays around him, yes. Individually Doueihi played better games, unfortunately we cant win with one player. Jock got the team around him to play better. So as a 7, yes, Jock was better, and it isnt even close.

A good offer from WTs to a mid r

Sukkar is maybe our 7th choice prop. I'd put him on a development contract and use his top 30 spot to sign a backup second rower from a club with a plethora of them. Most clubs do actually have back rowers, we should have indentified several throughout the season and targeted them aggressively. Why is it we don't have any back row prospects across our top30 grades? Just Sam and kpp.
It's a bit late to start doing so now, but hey what can you do when you have a bunch of amateurs managing our recruitment

Sukkar provides depth and played a lot of NRL due to KPP's injury. Do you believe a backup second row forward is going to provide more onfield than Sukkar? In addition, Sukkar is on a modest contract so he is good for the bottom line. I cannot recall him playing so badly that he lost a game for us. Sorry but I do not agree with your view on him or Seyfarth.

Seriously Odessa… the remark wasn’t directed at you.
There were a few comments from different posters somehow linked together and I was reply to the last one… which said you’d be in Australian for hating Trell.

I know just Sh!TS and Giggles

How are you today mate ?

That part is horrible

Gives us a top 30 spot, but Mason would be on minimum wage

Yeah, he probably would have been at or near minimum here, though little doubt getting half to double more to head west.

BB goes on a Sukkar sook and rant every offseason then goes quiet during the year when Sukkar actually plays decent. He wants a guy on minimum wage who is our only backrow depth gone at the age of 21, then replace him with someone who wants to be a reserve grade Tiger. Im sure there are plenty of guys out there willing to switch to the Tigers to play reserve grade for minimum wage lol. Yeah let's get rid of a local junior kid who is steadily improving and on peanuts.

 

[Mystery]

Make not mistake. People would cream themselves if we signed him.

That’s the funniest part. Latrell living rent free as usual

You must be dreaming if you think Madden was the better half. Doeuhi can create chances from nothing. He has gotten way more try assists. Madden has missed twice as many tackles. And you'll probably argue cause he hogs the ball, but is it not good that he is trying to create and actually scoring tries?

Yes. Almost any second rower on the fringe of NRL selection will offer us more than Sukkar. He's a backup prop. A poor man's twal.
Our roster is full of plodders, we need strike players that can win us matches. He is not that sort of player. As the squad us already full of plodders we can't re-sign him too. A low impact moderate worker is a dime a dozen in the NRL. Ideally we'd have got Kayliss from the wahs but I'm sure they have many other prospects to target, as do the dogs, Riff, Canberra, newie......

No one else is offering him a contract. Let the market tell you about the demand for his services. He's ok. That's it. A development contract is sufficient

So your saying madden was the best half this year?

Definitely our best halfback.
