I’m telling you, TPJ might seem like an x-factor, and he no doubt can be, but the suspensions will wear thin real fast.

His presence though, when on field is the real threat... to opposition.

Madge needs to sit him down and work out strategies where he can control his aggression whilst playing his natural game and creating that second phase play we desperately lack.

I think a few of the other forwards could really benefit from a player like TPJ and hopefully they work as a strong unit with guys like Gildart, Luarie and AD following along for those offloads.

TPJ could be huge for us from transforming us from a soft pack to a feared one.

Demps : I'm not disagreeing with you but, quite a few on here are adamant that Madge can't coach.
So if that's the case how is he going to coach TPJ **and** change his aggressive attitude.

Easy.
Let Farah, Sheens and Kimmorley do it.

Farah as coach is one of the most out there suggestions I have ever heard.

Farah is a born leader with so much football intelligence.

Tell me it's a bad idea.

Bro ...didn't you have someone spotting for you today

What are u talking about haha

Weights bro ........head knock ...HIA ...don't think Robbie would make a good head coach

Not a head coach.
But an assistant coach.

If he proves himself at another club 1st

We as a club need a break from Benji and Robbie for a good 5 years ......weed out all the crap 1st and then if they are prepared to tow the line and not leak crap to the media every 5 minutes ...maybe

Robbie is at the club currently.

Yep ...and we still haven't learnt a god damn thing ...dumbest NRL club by a mile ....no other club brings back trouble makers .....losers

Robbie is a trouble maker?
Lol mate, might be time to become happy_rabbit and join your mate @alien

Robbie had Sheens sacked with the backing of Balmain Juniors .....had his conversation with Gordie in regards to Potter ...clashed with Taylor and Pascoe

Players play Demps ....don't get involved in club politics

Doesn't happen at 15 other clubs .....does it ???

Captains captain.

Ain't no one more wests tigers than Roberto Farah.

Taylor deserved to be clashed with.
Maybe Potter couldn't coach.
And Sheens needed a break.

Still, having some one with passion and pride like Farah on board isn't going to hurt.

Funny ...you don't ever see any other NRL club captain burying his club .......if you are not happy ...you leave ....

Why would you leave something you love , because it’s filled with people you consider incompetent? Wouldn’t you fight to get those people removed , especially if you considered them toxic ?

Also , maybe Robbie was humbled by the whole experience . Just because you think 1 way today , doesn’t mean your locked into that thought for the rest of your life .

Potter did follow , at that time , the second winningest coach in history . A bloke famous for being a tactical genius , sometimes to the detriment of the team . By those standards maybe Potter couldn’t coach ? Or Robbie had it easy his whole career , and needed a huge reality check .
Who knows .

Would you bail on the club happy , that you obviously love , if it had people in charge y thought were harming the joint ?

Yeah ...but I'd have the class to keep it in house ...big difference

Yep ,fair point . But do you think that’s maturity as well ?

With Capewell signing with the donkey's,we might find out soon now.
Hopefully in our favour!

don't think we'll hear anything for the next week or so. TPJ's manager will do the typical wheeling and dealing to see if he can get anything concrete off the Dogs/Chooks etc, and if he does then it'll take even longer with the various bidding wars and so forth. after that, it's whether the Broncos actually want to release him, which from what we've seen changes on an hourly basis.


Happy to wait until his suspension is over at a minimum.

Iken is obviously taking the reins now, so Pengi won,t be going anywhere this year. To me he is a must for the Tigers, so i would go all out for him to come next year. Our biggest advantage was for this year, as we had money in the cap, for this years payments where others did not. But iken said he is staying for this year, so it will now be harder for us.

Ikin also said Broncos should get rid of him....

Our offer is reportably 2.5 years.
So we're keen for now.

when did ikin say that? Looks to me like the only person that was mentioned to have spoken about it was Kev, and on reflection I think he was just talking about Lodge

Yea , that’s a part of maturity and growth though . You can be an arrogant tool, and have a come to Jesus moment that makes you think , I’m a bit of a tool !

I think he trusted Tallis as well , who sold him down the river . That kind of had to be mentioned too . He learnt a big lesson about trust then .

I don't really buy that .....if by that stage he didn't know who to speak to or what to speak about ...like his Mum had passed by that stage and he was a SOO player ....he'd had heaps of dealings with the press ......

Like Gordie had the class to keep a private comment private?
Besides there's never been any proof that Farah was talking to the press about any coach or actively trying to get rid of them.
Just a throwaway line (apparently) to that boofhead Tallis.

Gordie's a journo ...if your dumb enough to tell a journo anything .....

Tallis is not a journo - he's a commentator.
If Farah said anything, and I am still not convinced what Tallis recounted, then Tallis is a bum for breaking a 'so called' friends trust.
PS Even if he considered himself a journo they don't quote what people say off the record... none of them.
Grub of the highest order... and now he's got his head so far up his own backside thinks he can ruin players careers with just a word from him.

Agree - loose cannon. Thinks he is protecting his mates but in fact he just inflames the situation and creates a media circus around
who he thinks he is protecting. Pretty sure Kevvie would have preferred Tallis to keep his mouth shut because he has now caused further tension with his players, just like he did with our club.

Why would you leave something you love , because it’s filled with people you consider incompetent? Wouldn’t you fight to get those people removed , especially if you considered them toxic ?

Also , maybe Robbie was humbled by the whole experience . Just because you think 1 way today , doesn’t mean your locked into that thought for the rest of your life .

Potter did follow , at that time , the second winningest coach in history . A bloke famous for being a tactical genius , sometimes to the detriment of the team . By those standards maybe Potter couldn’t coach ? Or Robbie had it easy his whole career , and needed a huge reality check .
Who knows .

Would you bail on the club happy , that you obviously love , if it had people in charge y thought were harming the joint ?

Yeah ...but I'd have the class to keep it in house ...big difference

Like Gordie had the class to keep a private comment private?
Besides there's never been any proof that Farah was talking to the press about any coach or actively trying to get rid of them.
Just a throwaway line (apparently) to that boofhead Tallis.

Gordie's a journo ...if your dumb enough to tell a journo anything .....

Tallis is not a journo - he's a commentator.
If Farah said anything, and I am still not convinced what Tallis recounted, then Tallis is a bum for breaking a 'so called' friends trust.
PS Even if he considered himself a journo they don't quote what people say off the record... none of them.
Grub of the highest order... and now he's got his head so far up his own backside thinks he can ruin players careers with just a word from him.

I'm not trying to protect Tallis ....Robbie should have known better ...maybe he even knew what Tallis might do ......stupidity is stupidity no matter how you dress it

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Our experience with ex Parra's players is between good and very good:
- Hodgson, Richards
- Aloiai, Twal, Utoikamanu

 

[Demps]

I’m telling you, TPJ might seem like an x-factor, and he no doubt can be, but the suspensions will wear thin real fast.

His presence though, when on field is the real threat... to opposition.

Madge needs to sit him down and work out strategies where he can control his aggression whilst playing his natural game and creating that second phase play we desperately lack.

I think a few of the other forwards could really benefit from a player like TPJ and hopefully they work as a strong unit with guys like Gildart, Luarie and AD following along for those offloads.

TPJ could be huge for us from transforming us from a soft pack to a feared one.

Demps : I'm not disagreeing with you but, quite a few on here are adamant that Madge can't coach.
So if that's the case how is he going to coach TPJ **and** change his aggressive attitude.

Easy.
Let Farah, Sheens and Kimmorley do it.

Farah as coach is one of the most out there suggestions I have ever heard.

Farah is a born leader with so much football intelligence.

Tell me it's a bad idea.

Bro ...didn't you have someone spotting for you today

What are u talking about haha

Weights bro ........head knock ...HIA ...don't think Robbie would make a good head coach

Not a head coach.
But an assistant coach.

If he proves himself at another club 1st

We as a club need a break from Benji and Robbie for a good 5 years ......weed out all the crap 1st and then if they are prepared to tow the line and not leak crap to the media every 5 minutes ...maybe

Robbie is at the club currently.

Yep ...and we still haven't learnt a god damn thing ...dumbest NRL club by a mile ....no other club brings back trouble makers .....losers

Robbie is a trouble maker?
Lol mate, might be time to become happy_rabbit and join your mate @alien

Robbie had Sheens sacked with the backing of Balmain Juniors .....had his conversation with Gordie in regards to Potter ...clashed with Taylor and Pascoe

Players play Demps ....don't get involved in club politics

Doesn't happen at 15 other clubs .....does it ???

Captains captain.

Ain't no one more wests tigers than Roberto Farah.

Taylor deserved to be clashed with.
Maybe Potter couldn't coach.
And Sheens needed a break.

Still, having some one with passion and pride like Farah on board isn't going to hurt.

Everyone makes mistakes brah.
Sure he'd do things different if he could.

I believe he was always trying to do the best thing by the club because he is the club, at the end of the day. Shoulda never played at the rabbitohs but that's how it goes...

Robbie is the man.

 

[balmain boy]

Interesting that Broncos release Lodge before TPJ. Fewer suitors though i guess.

 

[jirskyr]

With Capewell signing with the donkey's,we might find out soon now.
Hopefully in our favour!

don't think we'll hear anything for the next week or so. TPJ's manager will do the typical wheeling and dealing to see if he can get anything concrete off the Dogs/Chooks etc, and if he does then it'll take even longer with the various bidding wars and so forth. after that, it's whether the Broncos actually want to release him, which from what we've seen changes on an hourly basis.


Happy to wait until his suspension is over at a minimum.

Iken is obviously taking the reins now, so Pengi won,t be going anywhere this year. To me he is a must for the Tigers, so i would go all out for him to come next year. Our biggest advantage was for this year, as we had money in the cap, for this years payments where others did not. But iken said he is staying for this year, so it will now be harder for us.

If I was Ikin I'd get rid of him now, for sure. They don't want to keep him in 2022, why have TPJ around any longer than necessary for 2021? They'd save a little bit of money, and the season is a write-off anyway, so might as well include it with all the existing pain, rather than let the story fester until the offseason.

And they could even use that to explain the backflip - new CEO decided it was best to move now.

Tallis is not entirely incorrect, but I think there's a fine line between discussing your situation with someone and intentionally ringing journalists to fling mud. I don't recall any accusation towards Farah that he was selling the club out to the media, even if he was speaking to people who work in the media.

As you say, that would mean he could never go off-record with anyone who has (or might have in the future) a media platform. Also as you said, I thought journos were supposed to have a code where you were on or off record.

It explains why journos are so far removed from players these days and resort to so much sensationalism. In decades gone past, the journos would be embedded with teams - at training, in the dressing sheds, follow the Kangaroos on tour and stay at the same hotels, go for a drink etc. Nothing like that now.

They may have been considering the Warriors offer for quite some time. According to Badel the TPJ offer has just come in.
