@tigrrs said in Madges Presser:

In Madges Presser he says all the right things and is honest but at the end of the day, he has not got this team firing. Half of the players do not compete in defence and are lazy players in the 1% plays. They seem happy just to turn up do the minimum and get paid. The team has little unity or cohesion in defence or attack with Nofoaluma still unable to number up year after year for example.Brooks still looks lost although he can tackle. I think the only answer is to get a new coach. Get Bennett or Flanagan as sadly Madge has had little effect and the culture of the place is going downhill.

Nah sticking with the coach sack the players.

Are there any good financial advisors off-contract in 2021? They need speed, safe under the high ball and be able to pass both sides of their body

Here’s some good financial advice

Reduce your debt and save your money.

That’s a free one.

@russell said in Tigers want Hastings immediately:

Let’s see if he can get out of his current contract first.

Then see how much the transfer fee is or what they want in return.

Personally hope Wigan keep him for the next ten years.

There’s a reason why we are the only club in the NRL interested in him

Hates DCE, ✅

hates manly and Barrett ✅

Hates roosters ✅

Sign him up.

Cheese, the cheese, block of cheese, sick of reading about cheese. On Brandon Smith, he would be a good addition at the right dollars, sure, though I want better service from my dummy half and feel that Liddle is much superior at this, matching all others in that aspect and with Simpkin supposedly the next big thing would look elsewhere.

Similarly at lock, expecting that big Joe was brought to fill that role, but maybe upon Maguire shifting Harry there for cameo stints, maybe he is thinking that he no longer wants a prop like lock. As this is a discussion for a couple of seasons ahead, at this stage unless a big money option is a quality second rower, fullback or half, my interest is mild.

Interesting about all this talk of Liddell, how many games has he played in the last few years?

Very Liddle.

We need

• Hard running dynamic 13 with a good pass (no twals)
• The best pair of defensive centres the game has seen
• second rower that defends well and makes meters
• organising 7

Would be good to get some indigenous fellas in first grade looks like a top bloke with skill looks like a 6 or 1.

7NEWS can reveal @WestsTigers
have offered Benji Marshall an off-field role at the club for next year. The veteran hasn’t given up hope of finding a new club for 2021 but faces the very real prospect that there are just two matches left in his @NRL
career. @7michellebishop
#7NEWS

What happened to not wanting to play for another club he was spinning when he came back.

Clearly only cares about himself and doesn’t care about the club.

Yeah it’s madges fault west tigers have made 2 finals in ten years… some serious sooks on here.

Samoan connection could be about to add another player to the club with Bunty Afoa’s name discussed this week. Warriors keen to offload & free up a Roster spot. Will pay majority of 2021 deal if needed.

Thanks POM, has there actually been any talk around JAC…or is this just a forum fallacy?

More than a dream, have to leave it at that.

I love you

Interesting comments by Gus on brooks that a lot people don’t get

https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/round-10-gus-backs-madges-controversial-changes/id1210505372?i=1000521398066

Yeah Gus said he liked the make up of the team.
Said Brooks tries his guts out and is very talented. Said he isn’t whats wrong at the tigers.
Also said he’s a fan of Moses and likes him in 5/8
When asked about Douehi and that he’s been our best. Gould said but we haven’t been winning so coach has right to change the team around.
Said we need to win as doesn’t know where we go from here.
He likes our team.
And tipped us to win.

I like the quote from gus:

wests tigers have a lot bigger problems than Luke brooks.

Forum quote

Luke brooks is the only problem with wests tigers.

Mck 😂😂😂😂😂 this club is in a sad way.

Make could do OK in second row I think

@rowdy12 said in Junior Pauga:

Anyone who watched him in NSW Cup isnt surprised by this. His defence there was garbage, I couldnt believe it when he was named to play NRL. Does Madge even watch the lower grades?

I miss Lawrence in his day haven’t had a ball runner like that since

This may help ….
“NEW BADGE FOR MADGE

Poor old Michael Maguire has a new nickname at the Wests Tigers. Some players are calling him David Jones — because he’s always shopping his players. It was revealed last week that half Luke Brooks had been offered to a number of the Wests Tigers’ rivals as has utility back Moses Mbye.”

Ow I get it now

@tigger19 said in Moses Mbye Super Duper Thread:

Talau needs to be dropped, can’t even make a simple catch and pass

How’d he get that pass forward, I don’t know tho he got a head knock in don’t think he was stackable tonight

Still don’t know he’s position tho

@boonboon said in Signing Suggestions & Rumours:

When you look at centres then 2 clubs are over supplied with NRL level centres - Manly have Harper, Parker, Suli and Dylan Walker. Given Walker is off contract could be an option.

Raiders have Kris, Croker, Timoko and Scott. Obv Scott is the one available and while im def not a fan of him as a human he does have talent if you can keep him from punching people off the field.

The other club is obv Dogs who have Hopoate and Schoup off contract and Cotric on big money with Allen and also have as we know lots coming in next yr. Schoup to mine has looked good for them this yr in a poor backline and of course id take Cotric esp with Dogs paying some of the bills.

Zac Lomax might come up too. Dragons paid him Fullback money to play centre and does that really their cap. They have Bird, Williame, Beale and more importantly the 2 Fergai brothers coming through. Mayby we could lighten the cap load and take Lomax off their hands

Also mayby for a short term Josh Dugan is only 31 and could fill a gap although with 2 weeks quarantine.

Lots of options - all better then what we have in Pauga

Suli would be a dream

Who are the player managers calling

Don’t get the David Jones reference?

80 minute second rowers not working for us

@truetiger said in Moses Mbye Super Duper Thread:

Once again the Mbye haters stay true…if you watched the game,nearly all the Manly tries came from our boys poor defense,and before you start saying that its Madge,he is the defensive coach,stop and look at the blokes who were the worst at defending.LL.KM,TT and even AD was poor at some of his defensive reads…
For as long as I played the game,watched the game and taught kids the game…never did it ever happen to BACK PEDAL in defense,our blokes never moved up at speed and commit to the tackles,in the first half the first try Manly scored KM ushered the Manly guy to our tryline…this team has a lot to learn about professional NRL…their game wont improve until THEY COMMIT THEMSELVES TO ALL ASPECTS OF THE GAME,Mbye is one guy out of 17,how you can only point him out as our failure is beyond belief,the sooner some on here understand that this squad is not NRL standard yet,then the less heartache you blokes will have…
enough is enough,I cant stick up for these wanna be players anymore…

The old BEE GEES song for me …from the fans to the players…

''you dont know what its like to love somebody the way I do"".

Well said

Are the players playing for him?

August fast approaching any updates?
