    Round 3 vs the Knights

    With the new 6 again rule fitness really matters and Dylan Edwards (followed by Nathan Cleary) is the fittest guy at our club and the most active supporting up the middle when his confidence is up. We'll see if that's enough to make for his lack of strength, the way he can get manhandled on kick...

    2019 Discussion

    I'm not saying we do but there were guys in here who acting as if Madge was Bellamy and going on about him. I remember one even calling him a super coach. It was that smugness that I referring to when both coaches should be disappointed in their decisions this season.

    I hope all of you all are little bit more humble now. Tigers fans came in here 100% Madge would be dramatically better than Ivan's was at the Tigers. And look what he did. He took the Tiger from 9th under Ivan to 9th this year!!!! What an incredible improvement. Truly he deserves the title of...

    Ivan Cleary ..

    Name and shame mate. This "supercoach" had gotten like two 3 more than Ivan did last year at the Tigers and he recruited a depth quality players in Robert Jennings on decent money. There isn't a dramatic difference between their ability. The big difference this compared to last year is a better...

    Reserve Grade discussion.

    The boys are just giving a nod to our history. If you score 42 we'll score 44. This is the attitude we won the 2003 premiership with.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    I mean I can't really bring up stats like tries scored or anything for him in 2017 so this is just a pointless conversion from now. You won't change your mind and I believe you have recency bias. But yes I agree on current form he's overpaid (though he's improved since the start of the year so...

    Easy, Matt Burton to halfback during Origin next year.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    He wouldn't come here for a depth position. Who drops out of the 17 for you?

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    It was the games leading into the finals he was playing carrying our pack, like I said the back end of the year. And he didn't just he played longer than the other forwards. He was lead leading line speed, kick pressure and ran the hardest, was putting on the most big hits. Tamou was plodding...

    Round 19 Vs Raiders

    He's a confidence player though. He might lose confidence in his aggressive defense after this. And you couldn't blame him with how weird the NRL have been about charges lately. Next thing you know simultaneous contact with a kicker will deemed late.

    Round 19 Vs Raiders

    The charge is bullshit but I think we're stronger with Yeo at lock forward and Liam at second row then we are the other way around.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    Go back and watch the 2017 finals game against Brisbane. Not just our best prop but our best player by a mile. High work rate, physical in defense, played massive minutes (around 70 IIRC), made two line breaks scored a try and was only stopped from scoring a second due to crashing into the goal...

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    There was a period in 2016 where RCG was the best prop in the world on form. Remember it was towards the backend of the season. Money or a starting spot doesn't matter to B Smith. He isn't leaving the Storm he truly loves the club.

    Rumoured and Confirmed signings - Part 4

    If you had to pick one person who's dragged us into finals contention it's Maloney. If not him then Fisher Harris.
