We don't want grubs at our club… You can be a good hard footballer with mongrel without being a grub

We need Grubs !

We don't need "grubs" , we need players with substance. Players who play hard ; don't best their chest with bravado and believe in the intrinsic values of what it means to play for the Wests tigers, I'm talking about role models who keep a level head no matter what the circumstances.
We need players like Gareth Ellis, Hodgo, that sharks captain (not Gall) ; Moylan, Morgan, Cordner even a Blake Green. My point is it isn't just based on talent but also how they got with the club's culture and if they balanced human beings off the park.
Same applies for coaching and admin staff.

We need players like Todd Carney , Jeremy Smith , Greg Bird . We need players with mongrel , Attitude and aggression .
Our pack is too SOFT and to NICE !
Our pack hasn't been feared by the opposition since 2000, blokes like McCracken, Lowrie, Walker, Stimson had the opposition looking out the corner of their eyes. Since then we have always been laughed off as the softest forward pack in the comp by opposition players, except for 2005 when our pack demanded respect through skill and commitment, even though they weren't physically intimidating.
We need blokes like JWH, Beau Scott, Napa, Sam Burgess, Greg Bird etc who aim to put some real pain into their opposition, using knees and elbows in tackles. I don't think Jeremy Smith or Josh McGuire have ever made a tackle in the NRL where they haven't sunk their knees or elbows into blokes-that is definitely the killer instinct we need in our side. Win at all costs by whatever means necessary.
Problem is blokes playing for WT always seem to pay for dirty play whenever we try and play that way so we would have half the team sitting on the sidelines for the majority of the season.
Nothing beats physical intimidation of the opposition in rugby league-I would love to see our club adopt this style of play someday.

How about women that hit blokes?

@GNR4LIFE said:@Demps said:Charlie Gubb…
Hes the guy we need.
Gubb the grubb?
No we don't!
Not because he's a grub.
But simply because he's not much good
Too dumb to know when to give away a penalty, and when not to !!!!
@willow said:We need talent first and foremost
We need a recruitment team that can identify talent and a coaching staff that can develop them. We seem to have neither.

They're unlikely to cut it in the NRL.
I've been saying it for years. We need hard asses who go full bore. For some reason our club loves to be perceived as the NRL nice guys who spoon feed sick kids soup whilst riding unicorns on rainbows.
I want guys who'll stab your eyes out to steal your last cigarette. Our home games should need riot police surrounding the boundary and opposition players should be concerned their kids may be fatherless after playing us.
Alas we have Brooks, and co. They couldn't intimidate a new born kitten….

Have a look at choir boy Lawrence in the Press Conference last night after getting thumped by 60.
Rattled off a few polished cliches.
Your right.
We need some hard men.
I would love a Greg Bird or Beau Scott type.
No teams are ever scared of us.

Well, yeah, but they have nice hair.
@helmesy said:We need grunt, not grubs.
very true
cowboys arent grubs. they're an effective unit with grunt
we need 2 second rowers to tidy up our defence, push some plodders to the bench/reserve grade and provide a bit of grunt.
i'd be looking to use 950k from farah on a 450-600k 2nd rower like say leeson ah mau, bryce cartwright, josh jackson etc off the top of my head. and the rest of that on another average 1st grader type like another chris lawrence, elijah taylor, reagen campbell gillard. something hopefully moderately cheap and super consistent but not amazing. just pumps out 100m and 20 tackles every game with minimal errors, penalties etc. but no massive linebreaks, tries, 200m games and whatnot

Lol he is a beast of man!
@tig_prmz said:hahaha should've seen michael ennis' penalty in the sharks game today.
lewis comes up with the cleanest and best hit of the year, moylan knocks on. ennis comes in from behind and shoulders moylan off the ball and ref gives penalty against sharks.
that's what grubs CAN do to your team. we have enough trouble conceding penalties.
What made it even more amusing was when Gallen questioned the ref about the incident,argueing that 'Ennis was the hooker'so i am guessing that in Grubsville the hooker maybe exempt from any cheap shot according to d##khead Gal… :roll

I think we should recruit the women, as they sound tougher than most of the boys that played on Sat .
