If Eels get Matterson the NRL are a Joke... This is a Team only 2 years ago that got caught Blatantly cheating the Salary cap and even worse kept hiding it from the NRL until the very end.. Now 2 years on they are in the finals with players like this - Junior Paulo, Nathan Brown, Blake Furgo, Clint Gutherson, Jennings, Mitchell Moses, Waqa Blake, Maika Sivo etc... All these players are on good money and they had trouble resigning Moses & Gutherson but they seem to be finding more funds for a RCG, Fifita and Matterson...

Sharks also fall under this statement as well..

I understand our backyard is our problem and except this but how can a club like the Eels turn it around in 2 years and a club like us is still trying to after 9 years....

Vent over but I am sick of losing the good players as we don't get many.

Our cap is a disaster. Not only did we pay way overs for Reynolds Packer, McQueen, Matulino, but we have them on three and four year deals all at once. Dumb as.

You left out Mbye. Overpaid and underperforming.

This is what I'm talking about.
Nothing official from the club. I forgot he even played for us.
Our club used to put out statements and wishing players the best.
Get nothing official from them anymore.

I don't use twitter. I just followed the link to some unofficial tiger page.
The club has the worst PR department. Fans are expected to pony up membership for 2020 already and we don't know who is coming or going.

Does that actually influence your choice to buy or not? Like if Rowdy moves on, that's it, no membership?

AW gawd Tigers why didn't you tell me ROBBIE ROCHOW has retired, I'll have to opt out of my membership 2020 now.

I agree... would do a better job myself with no media training, it’s called taking ownership.

Well crowds are down this year so memberships may follow suit.

@Tigerlily Good to See the actual club has announce this... Just the norm for this club over the last year.. Our Club needs a kick up the rear end and should start to communicate to its members / fans

dude...did you even think how any of this works? The signing of Walters is being officially withheld for several reasons. The first and most obvious one is he is still playing in an active competition (Queensland Cup) and wants to fully focus on that. The second is the club is only 4 days into its off season. We were never going to announce new signings while the team was still playing.

Also, with all respect, Billy Walters is a 25 yo with one NRL game......this does not need a press release.

Billy Walters has had way leas impact than Tyson Gamble did in similar company, and we all saw how bad Gamble was.

If Billy turns out good, will be a nice bonus. But it is not newsworthy. QLD cup is lower than state cup and state cup players move all the time without any news or fanfare.
 
@Kazoo-Kid I know how it works and understand holding off until his season is over.. However I am talking about all media things this year have been slow from the club E.g. Injury updates, Updates from coaches regarding players, etc.. Not a Ivan C fan but when he was here they had the Q&A forum video a few times and always kept us up do date with general news..

On a side note people are saying Walters is not news worthy and doesn't need a media release... Not sure if anyone has noticed but we have signed jack Sh*t for a long time and any player joining us is a news worthy story :joy: :joy:
 
I like Walter off the bench....if we could manage to get arrow I’m guessing the bench in 2021 would look similar To this
14.Mikaele
15.Aloiai
16.Clarke
17.Walters

We are a million to one to get Arrow.

He wants to to stay in QLD, play finals, and every NRL heavyweight is after him.

Would be happy to be wrong, but doubt it.
 
Sad when people are getting excited about the possibility of signing of Walters

Our fringe first grade player trend continues ...how many seasons now ??

Is he 'even' a fringe player?

25...one NRL game (during rep rounds, i.e. only because the storm had half their team out)

Not stood out much in QLD cup.

If he even plays a few decent games for us it will be a bonus.

Yes you two poor poor souls should get a date to drown your sorrows.
Hate to be anywhere near the bloody "tear-shot".
