    I really hope hes pulled all the new players into a meeting to discuss continuing standards and to find our what defensive structures they used. Its interesting, on the face of it, defense is our issue, but we struggled to score points last year as well, which is very unlike WT

    Nutz, these sort of players are about balancing the cap. You have to have some cheapies in your team to be able to pay good money for players like Luia. 30 players into the cap is hard to balance. I think I read somewhere that historically, the teams that make the finals use the fewest...

    Bellamy being coaching advisor should help. But I don't get the Laurie gig. Honestly this while origin coaches cant be club coaches thing shoots them in the foot.

    Rumours (signings, sackings & other NRL stuff)

    Im getting excited for next year. we have signed a lot of good names. Its going to come down to defense though and that's where we have sucked since the merger. Even in 05 we just outscored the opposition. Would LOVE to have a decent defensive coach. Buying these guys from good systems...

    There is some interesting stuff going on, thats for sure. We have one spot for next year, hopefully for May. What I find most interesting is us trying to offload Douehi and Sullivan. Surely if we are being so proactive above this we must have other signings waiting? We cant go into January...

    Do we have any top 30 spots left for next year or are we going to have to release someone to sign someone?

    Haven't posted in a while, but this one got me. Richo reckons we have 9/17 players that can win a premiership. Who is he talking about?? Other than Bulla, Galvin, Luai, Turava and Api, who are the other four???

    I kinda get excited every off season only to be disappointed by about round 6, but there is some interesting shit happening this time. I was originally against the Luia signing because hes a wanker, but really Im starting to warm to it. He could be exactly what we need and regardless, I think...

    Hey guys, work and work travel have taken me away and Im just catching up now. Ive been through 10 pages of this thread. My thoughts. Olam is exactly the kind of player we need. Experienced, solid and still seems to have the fire. Right now, hes a better fit for us than Best, who is coming...

    TigerM, not stewing on the Tigers, just general stewing :) But thanks. And will we turn a corner? Im quietly hopeful that Morris is our head coach by the middle of next year (or earlier)

    I've been away for a while, stewing. I'm interested to know what needs to be done to Concord Oval to have it as an NRL ground? If its just the seating why didn't we fix that with the recent center of mediocrity upgrade? Surely we should be playing where we are training and with the new light...

    I can see what we are doing here with the front office, but its a flawed plan. Everyone says we have no identity, so lets stack the team with guys from the only premiership win we ever had. Unfortunately in our case its a flawed premise. None of these guys have gone onto other clubs and made a...

    Every team needs to spend a certain percentage of the salary cap. If we cant attract true high value players, we end up signing average players on high values not to get the fine. Its f**ked and I think its one of the main reasons why bottom teams cant turn it around. Weve finally got rid of...

    Thanks TJ. Noone picked Bulla?

    Random Tigers articles from the media

    I might be completely wrong here. When we signed Morris as Assistant Coach we made a big statement about it being for four years. Ive never noticed a club signing an assistant and making a big deal about how long hes signed for. Not sure if this means something. Maybe the reports of Benji...

    It was a cluster f**k because again the board made a mia culpa. It makes us look worse than just the team running last.
