Tigers future plans

[900large]

The Tigers need a clear platform to work from before they should enter the marketplace for talent… They need to build a Productivity Matrix that identifies the basic needs of the 'Game Plan'. This Game Plan can not have names attached, it needs to be built from scratch and identifies what 'type' of personal we need.

Once this is done, it will identify a Structure for a 30 man Squad [still no names]… EG: 6 x Props; 6 x Backrow/Prop; 3 x Roving Forwards; 2 x Hookers/Dummy Half etc etc. From there they need to asign a dollar value to each position within the structure. Once completed, only then do we place names into the structure and play a little fish with the $ amounts.

Upon completion, it will give us a clearer picture on which players to go after, and which players we should stay away from... I would assume the club currently has something similar, but the recent decision to re-sign Fulton and recruit Richards would suggest it is somewhat lost?!

Ps what you say is completely correct.

I don't think signing fringe players will turn it around to be honest , we need a signinifcant second rower ,quality prop ,at least one prominent centre ,and then some solid first graders

But the next problems are these

1/Do players want to come to the Tigers ,we have an unproven coach an NRL level , a side that most opposition players would class as soft ,internal problems ,back up coaches who aren't doing the job and a 7 and 9 who won't pass the control of the team over to anybody it seems (well maybe Anasta )

2/ Do we have the money to attract talent to the club ,with the Sheens debacle hanging over our heads like an albatross

3/Are potential signings happy with having three home grounds ,its pretty hard to create a fortress like AAMI ,Suncorp,Brookvale when you might only play at a ground once every six weeks

4/We are basically a bottom four side ,with much work to do to become even competitive let alone be force

5/ Carrying many players who aren't NRL standard to start with or since injury issues

/ Doesn't at least 12-13 clubs sound more attractive than us to sign with , so if we wan't to attract talent we will need to offer overs

As I have been preaching for a long time, point 1\. We need to be a desirable club, not a mess once you get through the door. Its going to very hard to get the talent that we want or need. But Taupau, Kennedy or any of the big forwrds from Penrith or Raiders would be great. The club need to consider the points above.
