Rumours and Stuff

Also when our best middle was Nathan Brown. We had to shift the ball because quick play-the-balls were hard to come by. It all fell apart in 2018. In 2019 we recruited some big boys and adjusted our attack to suit.

im thinking when reed was launching that long passes from dummy half but anyways

He so needed that. He will be a handful of Penis if he can improve his explosiveness.

Nothing better than an explosive pe… oh sorry. I’m better than that.

 

[lucablight]

You should if you think that poll is talking about the same resources I'm talking about.

We have all the resources that don’t matter but none of the resources that give you an advantage that leads to premierships. Am I doing it right?

 

[Eelementary]

It's possible but does he have good enough ball skills and mobility that you want from a lock forward. I think there is a huge difference between a Forward who can throw a nice pass and one who can read the play. I reckon thats why Hopgood was moved. Great ball skills but no real direction compared to Walker for example.

Good point.

Though I think Charlie played in the halves when he was younger (I could be wrong), so he may be able to do that.

As you said, Charlie lacks power.

Hopefully, it's because he is still young, and he can develop some strength.

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Guymer is going to be a very good player.

Developing nicely and showed some good versatility last year playing a few roles (middle, edge and "middle half"). Just needs time and the usual 50-100 nrl games......

Wouldn't surprise either if he was our captain one day.....

The mole is having a laugh

Surely the Tigers ain't this dumb to sack Benji for Brad Arthur.

Oh and BA's mouthpiece says he has plenty of options haha.

Perth isnt of them though after they brushed him for Mal

'Confused' Tigers players to follow Benji to exit if axe drops

'Tigers need to think very carefully'

Benji Marshall is the next Wests Tiger in the crosshairs of the Holman Barnes Group that has cut a swathe through the club.


Insiders have told Wide World of Sports that the group has already secretly nominated a potential replacement for Marshall - former Eels coach Brad Arthur.


Benji "has the full support of the board" - but will need to win plenty of games next season to retain his post.


The Holman Barnes Group is conducting a purge of the club, with chairman and former NSW Premier Barry O'Farrell, three other independent directors and CEO Shane Richardson all moving on in the past week.


Arthur is coaching Leeds in England and has made no secret of the fact that he wants to coach in the NRL again - most probably in 2027.

A source close to the former Eels coach cryptically told WWOS this week: "He will not be short of options."

Marshall is the last remaining high-profile off-field figure at the club following mass changes in recent seasons that have come to a head over the past week.

He lifted the Tigers off the bottom of the ladder last season to 13th spot and will need to at least equal that feat to retain his job for 2027.

I literally just answered this question, politely, with receipts and it got swamped?
Its like you guys dont want me here?

Of course we want you here. You're the kid in the street that we all like, who spends a lot of time at our house because his parents are dysfunctional, people with severe domestic violence issues. Happy to have you here.
Of course, we'd love your parents to undergo therapy and sort their shit out so they can have you back ............... but until then, you're one of us.

mouthpiece? Do you mean his manager or his forum defender?

nailed the dynamic completely

Actually BA moved on his manager the Orr Brothers they obviously weren't doing a good enough job selling him to potential buyers in Perth & Gold Coast who were offered BA services to be head coach.

Hannay & Mal were seen as better options.

Maybe those clubs should have just ventured on here and seen some of the spin that BA was just an awesome coach who could do no wrong he would had another gig in the NRL by now.

Now thinking of it The Mole has been tight with BA for years.

The Mouthpiece is probably actually BA which is hidden by "Source close to the former Eels coach".

Guymer is a carbon copy of Alvaro and not just in appearance, a solid benchie, I’d keep him

Guymer is a lot more mobile than Alvaro. He is a former centre. He has a good work rate but is more than a toiler.

 

[emjaycee]

Iongi extends until 2030.

Either that or we've been terribly unlucky for 39 years. You make up your own mind.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

God point.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

some of the spin that BA was just an awesome coach who could do no wrong

Nobody ever said that. A coach that good wouldn't have stayed for a decade. He would have been poached by one of the big clubs much earlier.

 

[King-Gutho94]

So MON has got one over his former club

We have extended our fullback Iongi before the Tigers extended there fullback Bula.

MON 1
Wests Tigers 0

Something something Front Office.

Not a fan of players having 5+ years left on there contracts outside of special circumstances like a Moses who you just have to offer those deals for elite playmakers to keep them.

Because i think it makes players get into too much of a comfort zone and they lose there edge a bit.

But Iongi where is he atm with age, potential and the market with 2 new teams coming in.

I think he fits into that bracket you can justify a 5 year deal on.

His a banker at the back you can already trust & rely on for the next decade really in a crucial position.

How did we resign him without it being dragged through the media!
