You'll miss Robbie too senseless.

In what way do you think we'll miss robbie? Are you talking about members numbers? Because as mentioned we are well ahead of previous years.

maybe you mean on the field? Well thats interesting; heres some stats for you:

Tigers 2016 Games without Farah: 8 wins 7 Losses

Tigers 2016 Games with Farah starting: 1 win 5 Losses

Tigers 2016 games with Farah benched: 2 wins 1 loss

So basically the Tigers had a 17% winning record when Robbie started v a 53% record when he didnt play at all. This was also with a makeshift hooker.

Now we move into 2017 where the Tigers will have a two time Premiership winning and Origin Representative hooker starting (who by the way won every game he played last year) and the NSW/Australian Junior hooker coming from the bench.

I'm not going to say Robbie is a bad player. He is clearly still a capable first grader and may end up being great for Souths. However the Tigers had their best year in 5 years after they dropped him. Now he is gone all the off field garbage will be too which can only be a positive for the club.

So again I ask, how do you think the Tigers will miss him?

Who's your hooker next season???

Is it Ballin?

I still think you'll miss Robbie. It's hard to replace a player like him.

Ballin with a very talented junior waiting in his wings in Jacob Liddle

We'll be fine without Robbie, as proven with our win/loss record with and without him

I believe we will benefit with Robbie.

So much better than Cam.

Cook will learn a lot too playing off the bench.

As Clifferd says likely 9. Ballin 14. Liddle

If Ballin isn't fit you'll find Matt McIllwrick will jump in.

Hard to replace a player who when playing wins 17% of games? Interesting logic

You may well benefit from him, I haven't said he's a bad player, however the improvement in our halves when Robbie wasn't running the show was there for all to see. He might fit into souths structure and have a fantastic year, that won't mean the Tigers aren't a better team without him though.

Big update on our web tracker - http://leagueunlimited.com/news/29340-2017-nrl-club-membership-tracker/

Broncos and Cowboys have now included counters which provided a big bump in figures - they have 20k between them already. Eels moving quite slowly but I imagine their rollover happens soon which will change things dramatically.

View attachment 10235

Most Clubs annual reports finish their year on the 31st of october. What will be interesting is if the clubs like broncs and storm include there already renewed membership numbers and monies received in the previous year? And could that of been why it looks like most clubs hadn't made too much of an effort prior to November.

Just an observation. In any case numbers look strong for next year. hopefully a good boost to the bottom line for all clubs.

They're actually the only club that hasn't got a counter in the entire competition. They publicly announced 9,835 on Friday and haven't said anything about 10k at all...
Fair enough. When I renewed my membership on Friday, they said on the phone they would cross the 10k mark that day.

Assuming all clubs do that, I imagine it would totally depend on whether they had strong income streams the previous year or were projecting poor income the following year.

Either way it's money in the bank and numbers seem to be up across most clubs so it's good news.

Roosters 9,502.

Big push to get to 10,000 before Christmas, which they should easily do if the current rate continues.
