I think I have had it with this team of ours.

[Magpies Forever]

Wasn't Teflon's best effort at hilarity in bringing Jason Moodie back for 1 season too many????

I have a soft spot for the Tigers living in Balmain.. I'm still an outsider looking in but I think the club is requiring a serious mass cleanout of the sh*t in the team.. Newcastle went thru it, Parra should but the Tigers have the most overrated players in the competition and I would punt the coach too.

This is all I'd leave..

1.

3.
4. Chris Lawrence
5. Taneila Tuiaki
6.
7. Benji Marshall
8.
9. Robbie Farah
10.
11. Gareth Ellis
12.
13. Chris Heighington (i would play him in the middle as a lock)

14. Tim Moltzen (i'd keep him somewhere)

Blokes like Gibbs, Collis, Halatau, McDonnell, Morris etc. I don't understand how Sheens has persisted with these guys for so long. It's embarrassing. I would be filthy watching these no hopers every year.

Took out our best player lol. Galloway is probably the last person i'd get rid off. He makes over 10m a hit and has about 12 each game. He's just a beast.

You guys know that Shannon McDonnell's father is the tigers recruitment manager right?

 

[westie]

How has no one noticed Collis is a high quality player? And then half of you back it up by saying you wish he goes to the Bulldogs - who are 10 times the club we are and already have Idris and Morris!

I agree. Collis would shine if he had the support of his team mates. To many times the poor kid is left to do all the work himself down that right edge.

Oh yes, we sure know.

I can see this,but Tim can't and the same wing and fullback keep making him look bad.

 

[westie]

He sees the first early ball of the season with some space last week and walks it in for Ryan. And people want to criticise him? He's even a half good defender as was pointed out to me this season. Much better than the rest of the dribble in the backline.

You know he was dropped back to reggies this week, right?

Thats right Ink,super coach Sheens really shook it up with that selection,I bet all the other players are now scared of being dropped too.:lol:

Collis plays just like Matt Gidley used to. Without his team going well he looks very ordinary, with a decent side there he is an international.

Ignoring my question in the Morris thread?

I didnt infer Sheens has finally wielded any axe, just an observation that whenever macca is selected its because of his dad, yet everyone shuts the f**k up when hes dropped.

Sounds like most Kangaroos. And all of the Blues.

Good call.

McDonnell is often selected without cause, but the continual accusations of nepotism are a bit much.

 

[westie]

Macca looked much better than most of our players when he came on at fullback last week. I was excited that he could offer some impact lurking around looking for an offload or jinking though. Something that I've never felt from Moltzen or Hanbury.

Gallant was doing that stuff last year,he could be a good fullback if he was given a chance

sheens has no clue ,screw the 5/8 style fb lets get a good support player who looks for a ellis or galloway offload

and a proper 5/8-1/2 ,Lui would be fine hes defense looks decent and hes the type of player that would fit in well with benji
Dunley is anohter and even moltzen would be handy in the halfs

when sheens first got here he said he wasnt gonna play players out of postion,and we won a premiership so why cant we keep not playingguys like benji,Moltzen,Payton,Payne,Morris out of postion

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

No matter how much we talk about getting a proper FB, 1/2, it will just never happen.

 

[westie]

I agree with Gallant. By far the best option. Macca likes to play a bit before the line with ball in hand, and is very good at it in my opinion. Gallant is just a brilliant support player. Guess we'll have to work out what style of football we're actually playing.

Yeah but did he deserve a three year contract? Sure I don't know what kind of $$$ he is on but three years??? You can't tell me that any other club would have signed him for that long!
