Will Api deliver a Robbie repeat ?

[TigerSJ]

Watching our forwards this season, particularly in recent games, looks blatantly clear to me that we need a starting prop - a mobile big mean one capable of long minutes who will lead our middle.

I didn’t know that. So he played somewhere before Enfield Feds?

Did he play Matt’s Cup at Canterbury, or had he already departed them by then ?

Reckon it was fairly early on....
Well before Matts I'd reckon.

Heard him mention he was a dogs fan when he was a kid, The comp folded and he went to Balmain... From that moment on he was a Tiger - Or words to that effect.
Implied to be well before Jnr reps.

Question time

Who preferred the old Tiger logo over the new one ?

I personally loved Balmain‘s Tiger, it meant business.

Like em both.

New one has grown on me.

Always prefer the classic one though but I'm happy either way.

I preferred the Balmain logo from the early 70s ... looked like a beaver. Very cute and cuddly 😜

That’s pretty much what our opposition says these days, here come those weak Tigers “beavers”. Or something like that !

Sailing very close there Hal 🤣

API has many years left in him, BERALA bears late bloomer.

Berala Bears, Lidcombe pools . . . . I'm starting to think you're a local, shadow.

Apologies, your comment noted and understood👍🏻

I wonder if Api will hold his form here? If so, for how long?

The ones that shocked me:
Jake Friend.
Michael Ennis, surprisingly well at the Sharks*.
Cam Smith, I always expected his form to crash after doing so much.

Even Robbie Farah, still was putting in a good performance way past 30.

Most fast hookers like Issac Liu tend to slow down. Yet the more physical hookers can keep with the pace of the game. Api will dim, probably wont play origin again but I believe he will upgrade our side significantly.

Glad we got a top shelf pick for once.

*what a brainfart that swap was.

Is he 100%? He came off the bench last night. Big influence on the game though.

Tactical apparently

I hope his role will be to be exemplary, inspirational player, that would also teach Nu Brown, Simpkin (and other?) how to play at 9.

Planning for the afterlife maybe?

Seriously though....
We've lost a bunch of games this year by 6 points or less, Had a couple stolen from poor officiating - Api and Papi will get us close to the 8 alone...

API is found on top of the top shelf.🎯

Simpkin is good as gone mate.....There's no focus on him at all it seems...
No way he stays with Api signed (And can potentially be signed again) and the kid coming through Sheens keeps raving about....
Also has Rua behind him (Or in Front of him) for a couple years.

If Nu Brown stays in any capacity - Simpkin is Gone....

 

[426Tlgerland]

I think Appi will shine for us and make a huge difference , happy he is coming along with Papi

 

[426Tlgerland]

I hope we sign and brown for 2 years to work under Appi , Nu is pretty good so far

That's nearly a given isn't it the way Brown is the priority atm
