Richo has become quite the windbag.I think he under estimated the difficulty of turning around the Concord train wreck.This is the toughest gig he has ever had & I’m starting to think it’s beyond himHey RICHO, where are the new signings you promised a month ago.
I don't know, I think we are only a few players away (and he has basically acknowledged that) from getting a respectable squad together, if we could've kept our original starting squad together I think we'd in a different position, but we are lacking depth badly.Richo has become quite the windbag.I think he under estimated the difficulty of turning around the Concord train wreck.This is the toughest gig he has ever had & I’m starting to think it’s beyond him

The bid worry for me, is Benji, some of his decisions have been poor, e.g giving the squad a week off bc of the bye, some of his bench moves are weird as well. Somethings have been good though, hopefully he is learning.
But someone said it earlier, he has all the hallmarks of the Sheenius.
It’s tough recruiting from a base level that is WT though re desperation. That’s a reality for triple spooners trying to change things.... …Steff and Galvin didn’t get recruited so that WAS lucky but luck happens and we will take it. If we had parted with $$$ for them then perhaps we should dwell on itSome criticism of the guy. Thank f**k.
I don't think he has been bad at all but that tough talk and not backing it up annoys me. We were screwed with Galvin and Stef and him and his big mouth made our team look stupid.
Just keep your mouth shut and get shit done.

The knights SR possible signing has gone quiet.
But better players are needed in a few areas.
I was more thinking about our lack of depth, I'm not totally unhappy with our squad, but we need more competition in a couple of positions.We need forward depth plus a marquee forward or two. Ideally I'd like an impact prop and a gun edge backrower.
I'm not sure about the centres. To'a is a weapon. Doueihi isn't a threat but he can kick goals and his defense hasn't been crud. I think we'd be better off with another option there but I think we have options without going to market.
We have Turuva (Staines can play on the wing) plus Luke Laulilii plus Makasini plus Faataape & Naden as back-ups. I think we are pretty well covered in that position and I'd rather focus on forwards.
I was more thinking about our lack of depth,
Will be a gun I’d luv to have a $ for every time I’ve heard that & it hasn’t come to fruition.The kid has done nothing up to this point & is yet to play against adults.Improving the squad to where we need to be to become a seriously decent side where we are in the top 8 regularly is going to be a very difficult task.We are up against a cashed up Perth & then PNG plus we can’t compete with clubs with wealthy benefactors like the dogs & rorters for the std of player we desperately need.With the squad we currently have the coaching staff & deluded Richos windbag comments Im not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.I was more thinking about our lack of depth, I'm not totally unhappy with our squad, but we need more competition in a couple of positions.
I did forget to put Makasini in. By all accounts he will be a gun. Agree with To'a, but he has been injury prone since he's been here.
I agree, he would have been better not saying anything.Will be a gun I’d luv to have a $ for every time I’ve heard that & it hasn’t come to fruition.The kid has done nothing up to this point & is yet to play against adults.Improving the squad to where we need to be to become a seriously decent side where we are in the top 8 regularly is going to be a very difficult task.We are up against a cashed up Perth & then PNG plus we can’t compete with clubs with wealthy benefactors like the dogs & rorters for the std of player we desperately need.With the squad we currently have the coaching staff & deluded Richos windbag comments Im not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.
Neither am I TT. We need to find out who supports the Tigers in the business / celebrity world, find out how much money each of them have, and if they'd be willing to stump up any in the form of TPA's.Will be a gun I’d luv to have a $ for every time I’ve heard that & it hasn’t come to fruition.The kid has done nothing up to this point & is yet to play against adults.Improving the squad to where we need to be to become a seriously decent side where we are in the top 8 regularly is going to be a very difficult task.We are up against a cashed up Perth & then PNG plus we can’t compete with clubs with wealthy benefactors like the dogs & rorters for the std of player we desperately need.With the squad we currently have the coaching staff & deluded Richos windbag comments Im not seeing any light at the end of the tunnel.
If we can't get a rorting system in place we aren't in the same sport as the big guns, as far as managing our cap goes and we can't expect year on year success.

As far as I know we currently have none. The rorters, broncos, storm, and dogs all have multiples. Not sure about Penrith but then again they appear to be playing by the rules, much to their current detriment.
People laugh at the Tigers, and it's hard not to I guess, but over the last 20 Brisbane have been the biggest failures in any sport in the world.I know there is all this criticism at management over the years but I reckon it comes down to 2 things:-
1. A development system that doesn't produce enough quality players. This is on management but it's also a longer term thing and point 2 probably helps out here as well.
2. Not rorting the cap like other clubs.
We need to have our finances in place (i.e. rort) like the top clubs.
As a side topic how crap are Brisbane. They get both of these things right and they still aren't great.
