    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I’m now quoting myself, give me a job on NRL360 and I’ll be my own “unnamed source”.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Rumor is Jared Hayne is going to coach and play for the tigers on a 50 million dollar, five year deal. He’s promised himself the fullback roll so he can single handedly carry the Tigers to a loss in the grand final.

    If not Madge, then who?

    This made me laugh.

    The Tigers will try to make Moses the highest paid player of all time because…he used to play with Brooks when he was good in juniors?

    Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Parramatta @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    Interesting angle. I heard Newcastle had discussions but didn’t know any specifics. Hope it plays out as you say. I can’t understand why they won’t give Adam a run but choose to stick with Brooks no matter what. It feels to me like some kind of pig headedness from the club, like they don’t want...

    But Andrew John’s said he’s the next Andrew Johns. Maybe we just have to wait another 10 years? I say if John’s wants him at Newcastle then I hope he can get some money to be put where his mouth is and let’s see what happens.

    Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Parramatta @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    I think there are better options for hooker and fullback than Brooks. I didn’t mind Nu as hooker, maybe Brooks and Nu share the roll. Thats a lot of versatility between Hastings, Brooks and Adam. Laurie seems to be good in short bursts only but they seem set on him as FB, I don’t think that’s...

    You don’t care if the team goes backwards? Nofo is one of the best wingers in the game. I know sometimes he skirts the defense, probing for a gap, just like so many other players but I’ve never seen him run backwards like that before, three times. Just saying what I saw, if no one gives a F@ck...

    Tigers Halves

    What has to happen for the club to make the most obvious halves selection in rugby league at the moment? What’s going on over there? Bottom of the ladder, nothing to lose, 3 competing for 2 spots. Mix it up and see what happens.

    I also noticed Nofo is now running backwards as well as sideways, apart from those three runs he played well. Musgrove, Pole, Stefano, Offa all played well.

    Yep, I think Brooks on the bench instead of Jacob is his only spot at the moment, at best.

    If not Madge, then who?

    I don’t really know what I’m talking about but I get the feeling they wanted to get rid of Madge and Sheens wanted the job all along. Or, they at least wanted to position Sheens, ready to slot in if Madge was off track to the 8 at halfway through the season. Was Ciraldo ever going to take the...

    …I think if brooks hadn’t played and Adam was in the halves… much, much closer game.

    Brooks just put a big exclamation point at the end of the “drop me” factor with that last kick. Despite all the drama surrounding him over the last few weeks I rate his current form as highly as LL’s departing efforts. Drop him already! Like yesterday!!! The young guys coming through all played...

    Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Parramatta @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    So Tigers management decides to drop LB but don’t talk to him about it. Then because word “leaks” to the press they have to not drop LB because it was supposed to be a secret? It doesn’t really seem credible unless the management team are world class piss weak and are also totally disconnected...

    Didn’t they really show how far the entertainment level has fallen, just a little each year, without really being noticed. Seeing those games reminded me of the game as it used to be.

    Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Parramatta @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    I think you’re both right about Brooks, don’t know if it was Ivan in particular that got the best out of him or if it was more the conditions on the field that suited him, maybe Ivan provided that though. These last couple of months have seen Brooks under way too much pressure, so much so that...

    Match Discussion: Round 17 vs Parramatta @ Leichhardt Oval, Lilyfield

    Surely there is no better time to give some of the younger players a run in 1st grade or to make some big changes to key positions. It’s like they’re scared of ruining a good thing, lol. What have they possibly got to lose? It’s like they feel they need to get mileage out of some players just...
