Any news on the new assistant coach?
It's Andrew Webster from the Tigers. Blade said it a month or 2 ago and David Riccio confirmed it in a tweet the other day.

Its his whole career to this point

Hmmmm.......Yes. To put a positive spin on it maybe he's better at attack than defence so he will show his true worth here?

Well he was our defensive coach under Jason Taylor when we were horrible in defence but great in attack. Then when Cleary came he switched to attacking coach, when went to scoring at will to looking completely clueless. Maguire then switched him back to defensive coach and we now hold the record for the most consecutive games conceding 28+ points in the NRL era
I think Capewell has been a poor signing - what did he do this year?

Happy for Eisenhuth. I doubt he’ll make your full strength 17 but as back up props/locks go he’s better then most. Had a very strong second half of the year which would have made me happy to keep him but could also see the sense in moving him on. Hope he goes well.
As for R Jennings. Well I hope for your sake you have precious little injuries in your backs because he will have you screaming for Adrian Purtell back. Some uneducated fans saying how good he was for souths lol, I suggest you watch his tries. Let me know which ones you think Royce Simmons wouldn’t have scored

I’m particularly concerned about the Andrew Webster appointment.
Glad you can finally be optimistic, however not really necessary on this threadI know it's blind optimism but anything's better than going into a new season under a cloud of fear and doubt surely.

Good for you!I normally just go with my honest opinion rather than be positive or negative but I'd like to try and go into the season being happy with the club I've supported for 30 years.

Tigpies squad is aids. That's what im clinging to.
The entire NRL fanbase also laughed at us for bringing Barrett back

"I'm going to specifically be doing a lot of work with the edge defence this year, and just our system in defence on an entire basis. I'll be working closely with Paul Stringer who's going to be doing work with the middles, and we'll tie our systems in together so we're on the same page.
"We want to make sure that with our defence, first of all, we improve.
"But we also want to make sure that we don't want the really good things that are there in our system to disappear — we just want to tighten them up and make them better.
