      @tigerskins said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

      From Zerotackle …

      Brisbane are set to confirm the signing of Wests utility Billy Walters, the son of Broncos coach Kevin.

      The Tigers are set to announce the deal in the coming days, with 7News Brisbane reporting the father-son duo will come into effect for the 2021 season.

      Walters’ arrival will be met with great optimism at Red Hill, with the 26-year-old set to add depth to the Broncos’ playmaking stocks.

      Star five-eighth Anthony Milford is facing a race against the clock to make Brisbane’s Round 1 clash after requiring surgery on a fractured hand, with Walters set to assist in Milford’s absence.

      Walters has played 10 NRL matches since making his debut with Melbourne in 2019, moving to Concord the following season where he played eight matches.

      New coach brings plodding son to strife torn club. That will fix things.

      Bit harsh … his son has always put in for us during his short stint with us. Got injured so that was that.
      And Walters senior was never uncomplimentary about WT in his commentary role with Fox NRL.
      I wish them both best of luck.

      Here’s a clue.
      Put him in any of the current NRL top six teams … and you would want him back.

    • RE: Gag order required for Hagipantelis and Pascoe

      @GNR4LIFE said in Gag order required for Hagipantelis and Pascoe:

      The Chairman is a clown. 3 times in 12 months he’s stuck his nose into contract negotiations. Twice he’s come out mid-contract negotiation with 2 marquee players, and run his mouth. Not saying he cost us those players, but he made the club look amateurish. And he still can’t help himself discussing James Roberts. He’s a moron. As for Pascoe, I’ve shared emails with him, he seems like a genuinely decent guy, but take pride in your appearance man. If not for your sake, the clubs.

      Very ordinary comment.
      Time to give yourself a nice little uppercut.
      If you’re so gun ho … go and tell them personally or is that too far from your keyboard.

      We aren’t a high performance team so we don’t need a high performance manager.

      Can you guys “please” get this topic off this thread please. Happy for you to carry on with your thoughts at a heading that I can ignore.
      But this is not the place to have 3+ pages of ramblings about an unrelated topic.

      By the way most of us have some firsthand knowledge (either a a child or an adult) about this … so don’t kid yourselves you have the market cornered about what’s right and what’s wrong about it.

    • RE: RIP Tommy Raudonikis

      I’ve been travelling north so don’t have time to respond.
      I’m bloody gutted!
      This guy was in my mind what “underdog makes good”story was all about and the reason I have been supporter of the west’s magpies and now west’s tigers for well over 50 years.
      Tommy to me was a great little player and big hearted leader (by example) with dogged determination to lead and win…!
      Never did he leave the field without giving his all. Set the example for his forwards and drove the herd like a drovers dog.
      He was battler to his last breath and particularly during the last 30 odd years … against testicular cancer, multiple bypass operations and other post playing injuries.
      I’ll miss him but never forget him. My heart is broken!
      My condolences to family and friends.

    • RE: How good is Stefano?

      @GNR4LIFE said in How good is Stefano?:

      Jury is still out for me. I feel like if he was really that good, he’d be a bigger part of the Eels side this year. There’s so much expectation on him that he’ll be labeled a plodder by the halfway point of next season. Mark my words.

      Oh really … here we go … just can’t wait to write people off.
      Sign a mature forward … a plodder.
      Sign young well qualified forward with potential … a plodder.
      Release a forward in mid development like Siro or Paseka and they turn out good … it’s crap recruitment or we have crap coach time.
      Just can’t win with some on here.

      I’m truly shattered for the team…
      Can only imagine how heartbroken Madge and the boys would be.

      Or they may use it as motivation and a positive that they can compete IF they put in the effort and could come out stronger in the future.

      Hope so @mikey.
      The team were pretty much relentless in persistence for the whole 80. It’s a young playing group in all actuality, so they need to learn how to grow from every defeat.

      Im ok if they maintain and/or possibly gradually improve on that effort agains the bunnies.
      For me they ALL gave 100% and you can’t ASK more than that.
      Yes mistakes were made and we lost but all teams make them and lose.
      Let’s face it this season we establish some combinations and weed out of our roster what we want and what we let go. Add couple of good additions next year, promote couple of our lower grade young guns and we should be kicking for higher ground on the 2022 table.

      Bennet has plans to coach the next Brisbane side in 2023 which means next year is mostly free for him.

      Thoughts on giving him a coaching director gig for next year? Obviously make him sign a contract that states he can’t steal any players from us. Or even Bellamy, sharks are tying to get him for the same gig. Throw as much cash as possible, could change the club and make it more appealing for players to come to and even help the current squad we are having issues with Madge (if the rumours are true)

      I think 1yr is stupid & just won’t change anything.
      We have major systemic issues that need years to resolve. As a coaching director he won’t attract big players especially if he has a gig the next year.

      If he signed for a few years that’s different but 1yr is a waste of everyones time.

      I don’t see the point in trying to attract players? We can’t seem to make good use of the players we have?

      We need better, proven, consistent players. Gambles like BJ and JTJ just aren’t paying off. In hindsight, letting Momo go was diabolical but if we didn’t, Laurie wouldn’t be at the back right now.

      It will be another cleanout this year but WT (with a fistful of money) needs to continue upgrading playing stocks and bringing through youngsters with upside ie. Simpkin.

      If we have a clean out every year, pretty soon the really good players will avoid us at all cost anyway. I think we have to be the club that people want to be part of. It starts with wanting to win, winning the fleg, rewarding effort, having fun etc. until the top players can say I want what they have. Be that club which puts the polish on players and improves the reputation of each player. If we don’t fix that, we will see the Lauries, Blores, Stefanoes, either succumb to the least line of resistance or look for an opportunity to grow eg Tedesco, Pappy etc.

      100%

      I can see what you’re saying…we can whistle and dance at the same time. I’m more for bringing on the younger more enthusiastic players looking for opportunity. The older players, and not so much older, from other clubs seem to reinforce the mediocrity in pretty quick time too if you ask me. Seems we desperately need an image makeover.
      I would rather the club sack some board members than sacking the next player who drops a ball.

      I can’t see what board members have done lately that’s resulted in poor on field performance.
      That … my man … is the “result” that the Head of recruitment, the CEO, the Coach and the good old playing group should be held responsible for.

      I can’t see what they’ve done either? Don’t you think they should be accountable for the performance of the entire organisation? They are the ultimate decision makers? They hold the club’s destiny in their hands.

      No

      2 focus areas for me

      1. A backrower - priority order - Angus Crichton, Jayden Sua and Kurt Capewell.

      2. Centres and Wingers - ditch Joey and JTJ next year and look for Corey Oates or Daniel Tupou on the wing and centres Kotoni Staggs, Brent Naden, sebastian Kris abd mayby Will hopoate abd pick 2 of those in that order. My other option for centre is to keep Moses Mbye - i think he is doing a fine job when playing centre and also a great back up. If we keep him on 4-500k

      Then we make a decision on halves one way or another. Id keep Brooks but if not then bring in Shaun Johnson

      The best thing the Tigers could do is bring in Reynolds, move Brooks to a running 6 and move Douhiei to the centres. Recruit Dane Gagai and Corey Oates. It would solve our play making issues and strengthen our outside backs. It’s a simple fix but no one will sign here.

      If that’s the case year it down and start again via junior development and young players looking to make a name for themselves.

      Yep not bad that suggestion,

      Joe O … Did you write the wrong name down ???

      He has been great for us this year and yesterday he had 148m , 56 post meters, 4 tackle breaks and 32 tackles with 1 miss… He should be starting every week as he is putting in the effort required for me. Agree with the rest though and would like Simpkin in 14 with game time to keep LIddle on his toes.

      He was disgraceful, a miss must only be counted if you touch them, he is not a backrower, madge needs to stop playing props at lock.

      Well he’s not a backrower, and should never play there again in his life. But as a prioy he’s very good

      His place is on the interchange bench.

      God! … are we back on this … again.
      Let it go mate and start looking to the future.
      We don’t need any short term solutions.
      Young guns with skill and good attitude and hopefully few will emerge with what we need.
      Apart from that we have enough dough in the bank to recruit for next year … couple of marquee guns for hire.
      No more over 30s with injury problems for me thanks.

      Yeah wow, Madge was pretty upset, looked like he was going to burst out into tears during that press conference.

      Yes I feel for him but I’m afraid he will ultimately either live or die on results this roster brings him.

      And at present I fear for his immediate career.

      @yossarian said in **live game feed** vs the Cowboys:

      Give up 34 points at home to a winless team. Incredible. I’d like to say unbelievable but sadly it’s all too believable. This team can’t defend. Plain and simple. Madge can say what he wants about improvements or attitude or whatever. That was a season defining game and we looked worse than a team who hadn’t fired a shot all year.

      Yep … we are cooked.
      This club has lost a lot of leftover credibility today.
      I’m not a quitter but I’m afraid there is something very worrying about the state of the coaching and the roster.

      The fact that there is no visible improvement in defensive structure is appealing result for the coaching staff. And the attack is not that far behind at being absolutely hopeless.

      It’s as if every one of the 17 player on display today are out of form strangers. Totally unmotivated. The forwards inability to dominate in tackles is inexcusable.

      We are the laughing stock of the league … and absolutely deserve that label.
