Rumours and Stuff

[Tiger5150]

This is pro sports though. It's been professionalised. Everyone knows the same stuff, they all learn it for their qualifications. They all move jobs and cross pollinate.

The two fittest teams in the comp are coming first and second right now. With the six agains and the application of the rules at the moment, fitness is a massive advantage. All first grade players have the same capabilty to train and get fit, so what is the difference between the fittest teams and the least fit teams?

Parramatta offered Manly's grappling coach double what he is currently on at the moment (still didnt move). there are reasons

Little sensitive there Grigor.....

I called Eels a powerhouse to make the point that TDS isnt copping pay cut to go to a strong club. I could rationalise a player taking a pay cut to go to Storm, Pamfers, Roosters et al but wont be gaslighted taht TDS is copping a pay cut to go to Parra.

Mate I follow a team that has sucked for 15 years, like properly sucked but if I was here to troll you guys and "rub it in", I would do a MUCH better job of it than that. Give me some credit.

He won't have taken a pay cut. Three years at $650k is a lot more than one year at $750k plus having your future earnings potential eroded by only playing 15 minutes a week.

Junior Paulo and Clint Gutherson disagree with you.

Obviously professionals hate money.

We have long term injuries.

Ive heard you banging on for a couple of years about all of Parra signings being "depth signings".

Some people have loyalty, you must have been home looking after your knees that day in the army.

Depth signings are depth signings because they aren't first graders. If you have to use them, ideally it's not too many at the same time.

Who at the Tigers are loyal and not about the money

I'm loyal to my family. That's why I work for money, not to shorten my commute or work with my mates.

Tigpies coming 2nd is not due to them being one of the fittest teams in the comp but being the beneficiaries of an easy draw only playing one of last years top 8 teams in the opening rounds whereas Eels have played both grand finalists and the greatest team of the NRL era in our opening six.

What's more our reserve grade team scored more tries against Benji's blithering buffoons and the ref robbed us of our rightful victory.

I note you refused to predict your Tigpies win count for the next 6 rounds as they come up against last year's top teams. I find your lack of faith revealing.

Benjis has copped a pay cut from Fox to coach until 2031, Alex Twal, Douiehi didnt shop himself around his last two Contract because he feels he owes Tigers,.....

Now do Parra, start with Mitch Moses

No one wanted Douiehi..... Probably same with Twal he was happy with a pie and coke.

TDS took a pay cut to come to the Eels.....

I thought he meant fewest injuries. The Tigers are up there with the Raiders, Chooks and Panthers for being kissed on the dick by the injury gods:

NRL Casualty Ward: Turbo suffers hamstring injury; Brown good to go

The Sea Eagles have suffered a major blow in Townsville on Thursday night with skipper Tom Trbojevic succumbing to a hamstring injury.

You keep telling yourself that each night when you are trying to go to sleep at 3am with the room spinning Pat. 3 of our 5 games were against top 4 teams THIS YEAR.

Why would I "predict" anything to please you? Im not a performing monkey at your whim. Its a football team. They will turn up each week and have a crack and the result will be the result. One thing I can predict with 100% certainty is that with this culture at the Tigers, I can predict with absolute certainty that they will turn up and have a crack, like they have all year so far and I am very happy and excited about the way my team is performing on and off the field. Couldnt be more proud.

How are you going Pat?

Fitness coaches are interchangeable. They either have the skills to develop a program or they don't, and these days I'm sure there's apps that will generate your program for you. What determines a team's fitness is its senior players. Conditioning work is painful over long periods of time, and some blokes just have what it takes to push themselves that extra mile. The ones who don't have what it takes can still be motivated by others, but it's not coaches who do this; it's teammates going through the same torture in the moment. Blokes reach quitting point and think that's it. The fitness coach doesn't know how much he's got left in the tank, but his mentally stronger teammates can show him how much more he's got. It's not the quality of the coaching; it's the quality of leadership that matters for team conditioning.

Source: I experienced this in the army. I've done so much conditioning work that I'm not even 50 but riddled with arthritis.

I highly recommend giving the carnivore diet a go, Pou. Even as an elimination 30 day diet whereafter you can reintroduce foods to see what causes inflammation and what might exacerbate arthritis.

There are lots of reputable sources to get an understanding of the diet if you're interested like Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Anthony Chaffee and Dr. Ken Berry all of which have tons of information on their youtube channels.

I switched to it pre-Christmas 2024 and I've never felt better since I was 17. The only issues I've had have been switching from beer to vodka or gin which is taking some adjustment. I should probably eliminate drinking altogether but baby steps. Anyway, seriously, you've got nothing to lose and the world to gain.

I am liking your posts. Witty, humour and informative rolled into one package.

Cheers Hindy , wasnt easy , it’s a small package .

Do we just list all the players to re-sign without any talk of bidding wars? How would any of us know how much these guys sign for or the size of the offers they declined. It's fairy tales rugby league fans tell themselves and we know you believe in fairy tales. Apparently one bloke took a 50% haircut to stay at Manly!

You have been good and it’s noticeable but please mate you and the media have done their load many times in the past and in the end it’s just a mirage. We have performed better for several years than the Tigers and we are f**ked.

I'm actually on the carbivore diet.
