    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Mitch should play pretty well, he’s one of the better halves in the game at the moment but they paid massive overs for him, I reckon they paid almost doubles. There’s bound to be some new talent coming through over the next few years that will make everyone look back on this deal as absolutely...

    Trial Vs Raiders

    API will be a boost for sure, I’ll be interested in seeing how Brooks plays, fingers crossed.

    Trial Vs Raiders

    It does seem to be that way, but you’d think the off season would have done him some good so maybe he isn’t fully repairable anymore and reserve grade won’t help. Now there are a bunch of forwards that will actually run the ball Kenny isn’t needed in that respect any longer, that’s good news...

    Trial Vs Raiders

    I think he was injured, which is a shame. I rate him, he makes the tricky stuff look easy, great finisher. Maybe they can’t put enough sticky tape on his legs to hold them on any more.

    Trial Vs Raiders

    They rolled over in the second half, not to take anything away from the tigers though, the points they put on weren’t all that soft, raiders just had a horrendous error count, they couldn’t hold the ball. I think Savage having his jaw broken last week spooked Ricky and he took of his main...

    Trial Vs Raiders

    Amazing what happens when you chop out the dead wood.

    Trial Vs Raiders

    The first half was a pretty solid game and even though the raiders won’t play that poorly again this year, and the last 30 mins were barely watchable, the tigers would have lost to that performance last year. Things are looking up

    Looking forward to tomorrow’s match against the Raiders, should be an entertaining match regardless of who wins. Hopefully we will see some free flowing footy and a Tigers win.

    Who is the young fullback coming through that is giving Charlie and Dane some pressure? Maybe Dane will be the 6 eventually? 1 year to see if he’s good enough to get a big pay rise in halves maybe?

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    This is all true and the edges are a worry defensively but for way too much of last season all we saw was one out and up the middle, over and over. Make 20 to 30 meters in the set then put up an uncontested bomb to the backs 30 meters out from their own line. I like that we may see some more...

    M I like what I’m reading!

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Madges’ problem was he couldn’t inspire half a pack of plodders, neither could Noddy but no one was going to do anything with that lot. This years pack is 5x better than last years and would make any coach look better but ditching Hastings and stacking more eggs in the Brooks basket will waste...

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    There must have been some serious personality clashes with Hastings, that’s the only reasonable reason I can think of for why they ditched him. Clashes with the wrong people or with too many people, or maybe he’s carrying injuries? They’ve seriously crippled their half depth, I think the...

    Yeah Bateman is a gamble, hope he works out but I have a feeling he’s going to be more trouble than he’s worth. He’s a bit of a loose unit but I suppose there’s plenty of depth if he doesn’t perform, the length and price of his contract seemed a bit large and long for a dice roll.

    It would be interesting to see Moses and Brooks play together again but only as an experiment and the money they’re asking is double what they’re worth.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    I hope so too, it’s long overdue. If not I think the fans will be the ones leaving.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    As soon as he left the Tigers he turned into yet another forgettable robotic square box headed purple moof. Hastings is a hero, they should have just copped the hit financially and dumped Brooks but hopefully API can have the same organizational effect that Josh Hodgson had on the Raiders...

    Just had a look at the odds to make the 8, $4.50. I think I’ll wait a few weeks, although they’ll probably win the first few games just to truely set the hook before losing the next 10 straight.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Most of the players they got rid of were dead wood, to be polite. Most, if not all, of the signings were good to very good. Bateman is probably the biggest dice roll but you gotta roll the dice sometimes. The biggest problem is they got rid of Hastings and now the team is without any depth or...

    I’ve made the same mistake, but not with that much money.
