Which Players Survive This Disastrous Year?

[Telltails]

I felt sorry for him yesterday.
It’s hard to position yourself when you can’t trust anyone in front of you to make a tackle and have to cover for the whole team.

Exactly.

 

[bigsiro]

Who was better Brooks or Doueihi ?

I don't think there is any doubt that Brooks was better.

Errrrmmm No.

 

[earl]

Errrrmmm No.

You reckon. I was all in on Doueihi but he was real bad. When he plays his best he is really good but that is so rare and his poor games are real poor.

Both rubbish. AD has more upside

 

[PJ2]

My little notebook is full of people's names that are going to get a visit from me when we're successful again.
We've gone from 9th, to being pitied, to embarrassing and now disgraceful to the Nrl.
My black heart will be filled with vengeful glee..

 

[Long Term Fan]

Not many and if they were all stranded on Gillian's Island you would just leave them alone and not send any rescue planes or boats.

Pole and Joffa are keepers

 

[member850]

Errrrmmm No.

Brookes had a ‘get out of jail free card’ by being injured. Sure if he was there the result would have been the same.

 

[bathursttiger1]

Myself and a few diehards.

That is about it. Brooks has a more complete game and he faults are more poor option taking at critical times.

AD does have more upside but atm Brooks is better.

This though is the crux of our problems. Our spine is crud.

Is that upside "Playing 5/8 like a back rower" By any chance?

 

[jadtiger]

We've extended at least two of yesterday's team in the last month.

In a years time some people on here will be blaming Madge for that

 

[Bula]

Let's not lose sight that yesterday we got rogered by the eighth placed team. How many Tigers players would slot into that team next week? Probably none. Maybe Garner on the bench. Don't even think of Douehie in for Wighton. Wighton is what Douehie thinks he is. We are so far away from being competitive.

 

[Stevec]

Laurie
To'a
Naden
Ken
Brooks
AD
Joffa
Jacko
Pole
Brown
Stefano
Twal
Noffa
The rest I'll leave up to someone who actually knows what they're talking about because I'm clueless...just like this year's team.

I think your list is spot on not totally convinced about pole but willing to give chance .Everyone not on this list should be moved on .Note your 13 has only 3 or 4 forwards and we need 9 or 10 that's 6 run on and 3 bench and 1 depth
So were about 6 short with 2 coming .Hope they can find the other 4

 

[Curaeus]

I suspect we will hear more about arrivals, departures and swaps after November 1 and/or after finals sides are eliminated. Interesting times!

 

[colinbh]

Exactly. The way he tanked this season you'd expect us to get some longer term benefits. If not then he is basically incompetent and watch chance to we have over the next 5 years.

Sheens was so bad this season. He must get a Z--- on the scorecard. Has he done one positive thing this season. I can think that upgrading Kitione to a development contract as a positive but that is it.

I was under the impression that Sheens was coach next year. A bit much blaming him for this year.

The soft #### didn't want a spoon to his name so he's ghosted it and left it to Noddy to deal with.

Hiding behind the "there's lots to do for next year" excuse. Should have took over the day he was announced. That shit all still has to be done for next year for 2024, and he'll still be doing it then. A lazy excuse to hide from stink of the spoon.

Not at all. He sacked the coach, let Luc go early and loaned out Nofo and Gildart. That is a significant negative impact.

I assume that this is all part of some longer term benefit so we should all expect significant improvements from next year. I don't think though the decisions he made will have a longer term benefit. I think it was just poor decision making for the club.

I also think his decision making has helped him next year because we are dead last and he can then take any improvement as an indicator that he has improved the team compared to under Maguire's tenure.

It's dodgy management practice 101.

Agree & disagree. Was never in favour of sacking Madge. He loved the club & should of been given the option to finish the season & seeing the character he showed I believe he would have.
Noddy was offered & he accepted the caretaker role as coach. Sheens didnt force him. Also, if Sheens had of started taking over when Noddy was failing, we would have heard the whinging by some about that. As regards the loaning of players & letting players go early in their contracts, I hate it. It simply should not be allowed. However, as this season was clearly gone, if that money saved benefits the club next year by front loading some contracts then I think it is smart business.
Also , It may have allowed us to blood some extra juniors.

Disgraceful post.

Why should he be the poster boy for the club's failure.
