    Japanese Rugby Targets Tuiaki - Tele

    Agree. And Sam Ayoub is the worst...but unfortunately has so many of our boys signed with him. I wouldn't have too much of a problem if they were also acting as minders or helping the boys stay in line but they only act when it's time for another commission. My biggest rap for for Ben Teo was...

    penalties in the ruck

    Hahahahaha. When did post whoring equal correct? :lol: The inconsistency of penalties in the ruck area (20 minutes on, 60 minutes off) does impact teams with smart dummy halves (Tigers, Storm, etc) which translates into a lower impact. Good players can never be completely "taken out of the...

    team v sharks

    Main Game says "CL (hammy) was restricted yesterday but will play. Dean Collis is on standby". The second part isn't too reassuring.

    Robert Lui First Game this Weekend

    Hopefully we can get Benji kicking consistently to give us Benji and Farah long-range and then Farah, Moltzen and Lui short-range. Just need to work on pin-point bombs...although, we will also need to get better at taking the high ball once it's up there.

    ANYONE against signing Gallant

    In Tigers fashion that'll be $80K when we renew him again. He's on $20K so offer him $40K. Once he finishes that, try and get him for $80K... But, I just had a thought. We only really like signing injury prone players (such as Head) so maybe we only thought about signing him after he got...

    ANYONE against signing Gallant

    From NRL.com "Gallant’s manager, Martin Tauber, will contact his client today to go over the terms of the Tigers’ offer but they are expected to accept the deal within days." Better than nothing...

    Your team Vs Sharks.

    In the team announcement Moltzen has been moved back to 1 and Lui has been named at 7. I'm not a fan of the decision to break-up the Benji & Moltzen show. It means that if Lui struggles with the shift to first grade he'll put John Morris on instead (again, playing the poor dude out of...

    Dean Collis

    Spot on mate. When I heard Collis was leaving my first thought was "he'll find his mojo the way Bronson Harrison did at Canberra". Where the hell did Bronson's offload come from? As far as second phase play goes, we are pretty good at it provided the offloads come! Collis will be solid for...

    Top 8 side my arse

    I disagree. Hanbury was excellent at fullback. Much better idea than Lawrence (I can't believe that was even considered) or shifting Moltzen out of halfback where he has been excellent.

    Back of Johnny...he's good in position!

    So many people have bagged John Morris but so many of his alleged "issues" have come from using him incorrectly! He's not a halfback and will never be one. He's a strong 5/8 (as opposed to a freakish, fast 5/8) or a tough hooker (as opposed to a smart, wiley hooker). For mine, he's best used...

    beau ryan

    Beau Ryan is a solid winger. He's not a game breaker but teams can't afford every player to be a game breaker. He's quick enough, happy to put his body on the line, not afraid of going up for a high ball, and can finish a try in the corner (which these days happens faster than the camera can...

    Heighno

    Back-rower stats are misleading. Ellis only gets involved in tackles that he needs to get involved in. He doesn't stat whore like Heighno (and Hindmarsh) sometimes do. I rate both Heighno and Hindmarsh massively but they play a different game to Ellis. Ellis saves unnecessary back and forth...

    Tim Moltzen

    Agree Reeks. But, when you've got a couple of guys who can cover fullback and you've got no other decent (proven) halfbacks we should keep Tim where he is.

    Your team Vs Sharks.

    Lawrence at FULLBACK is a terrible idea! Best bet would be Hanbury (since he was solid as custodian during the failed Benji 7 experiment). We should keep our best players in their best position!!! I recon the position/player/injury back-up should be: Hooker - Farah (Morris/Halatau back-ups)...

    Chris Lawrence

    Lawrence is an outstanding Centre who keeps getting better. So, fingers crossed he stays as a Centre. Remember Sheens saying "his long term position is 5/8". Let's hope that the Benji 7 / Lawrence 6 idea has been put to bed (and shot, buried and covered with cement). Chris was a real "heavy...

    Tim Moltzen

    Tim Sheens comments in today's paper (from yesterday's press conference) really worry me. Saying about Moltzen...he's a great halfback and he could be an even greater fullback. That may mean he's still not admitting to himself that Benji at 7 DOESN'T WORK. Regardless of how he wants to train...
