Man we're going to be in a good spot next year if we can upgrade a few of these guys rolling off...

Mbye is going to be the only overpaid player left... but thankfully he still does provide us with some value, unlike packer.

Scary , our spine all come off contract at the same time

Thoughts on Jake Simpkin?

For mine, we're looking very skinny when it comes to options at hooker.

he'll make his debut at some point this year, but hookers take time to find their feet because the position is so physically and mentally taxing at the highest level. massive wraps on him from a lot of good judges, but we have to be patient with him. if anything it explains the McInnes interest, Madge probably thinking McInnes could play there until the other 2 are ready for the week in week out grind and then move McInnes to 13.

Liddle , Simpkins , Walters , Mbye, Madden at a pinch if your desperate .How many more do you want for 1 position ?

Liddle 43 games since his debut....played 60 plus minutes 5 times.
Simpkin never played fg
Walters never played more than 30 minutes at dh in a game
Mbye never remember him winning a game a dh...I'm sure he has at the dogs but he is ordinary passing of the ground.
Madden never played fg. Never played dh not sure why he is here in the list.
Tldr... quality over quantity. 1 good dh would be better. At the moment we are hoping that someone will make the jersey there's

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE- MONTY PYTHON,there will always be a problem if you look for one.
 
I hope we try and lock up Luciano Leilua long term before he is available later in the year. He has been massive for us and turned himself into a 80 min machine..

Hopefully management have learnt from past mistakes and upgrade and extend before other clubs come knocking
 
We have all seen how the right Marquee Player can change the fortunes of a club with the recent win of the Tampa Bay Bucs Superbowl win.

A struggling team for years recruited a Leader and 3 other top line players followed resulting in a belief and on the Park success in year 1.

Our tigers have been building the squad nicely after years of Scatter gun recruitment.

The Tigers need to jag that 1st player true Marque Leader.
 
I don’t get why so many here are anti Chee Kam , i think he goes alright , no superstar but does a good job

He has his moments. I think the issue with him is inconsistency and WT are trying to weed that out of the squad so that performances start becoming more consistent.

I reckon Packer could have a big year for Us Hammertime :hand_with_index_and_middle_fingers_crossed: providing of course he stays injury free. His contract is up this year, and he now has some good forwards around him to take the pressure of him being the only boom crash forward as of last year.

The problem is he has a good 5 minutes but never a good game. To me he lacks the concentration levels to be effective over a prolonged period in a game

Welcome to the forum Mrs Chee Kam. We have watched a lot of your sons games. Sorry mate couldn’t help myself.

He is OK in small doses ...the minute you need him to play big minutes he gets really sloppy defensively
 
Apparently Panthers are courting Ky Rodwell hard, could explain why he didn’t come to Tamworth.

Below from a few insiders on the Panthers forum;

Ky Rodwell, former aussie schoolboy, been at rabbits, currently on train & trial with Tigers looks like being one of the props...His manager had discussions with the club.

He is one of a few fringes we are looking at. I think he was Flegg player of the year a couple of years ago. Very keen to learn. Good motor and a good attitude.
 
looking more likely by the day that Fitzgibbon's going to score a full time contract. unsure on whether or not it'd be development or top 30 but he has been everywhere on both our socials and spearheading our indigenous campaigns.

Well him and Daine Laurie were in the same side at Penrith and did appear close. Probably would have a good combination. And we like speed. Even Joel Caine gave him a wrap as one to watch this season.

He certainly concentrated against Broncos ans Souths with match winning tries...he is a reasonable NRL player,without the star status...

That proves my point.He can be good in short doses.

He's not the worst player in the NRL, but we can do better.

Mikaele needs to have a big year this year. Was off the boil big time last season.

Yeah he was disappointing ...none of our props look like they are ever off the back fence
