Random Tigers articles from the media

Lee Hagepantelis has always struck me as an attention seeker. The way he paraded himself around at grounds and in the media. He loves the power imo. This statement on Sen league sought of says it all.....

He's first and foremost a personal injury lawyer. No more needs to be said.

You win.

The utter bullshit we cop is unbelievable, it's like no other club does anything.

Revenge against the press is sweet.

Does anyone have a subscription to the telecrap? If so, there's apparently a piece about the financial stability of the club, or lack thereof.

If anyone has access can they copy and paste it. They're sure as shit not getting my money.

I posted this on the coaches thread, both Fox and SMH are having a dig at us.
I guess it sells papers.
It's all a load of shit, imo.
Guess who Doueihi signed with, just recently?

Moses?
I though AD managed himself.

I would not lose any sleep if AD wanted an early release....bye.

I heard today he has signed with Parra.Only way he gets a gig elsewhere is via his new manager the demonic oxygen thief IM

What's the strength of that rumour Ted. If true he toʻ can kiss off now and bring in Faataape or Tu’itupou

I thought AD managed himself.

He would’ve had buckleys of getting another contract in the NRL if he continued managing himself.

Very good & well connected source involved with Balmain juniors.He was told the deal has been done & we were obviously never going to re-sign him

Cool.
Tu’itupou get your boots on
AD you can piss off and close the door behind you.

 

[WA Tiger]

I suppose if he’s never ever going to leave.. might as well tackle and embarrass him in front of the players ..then he’s bound to want to fk off.

I do have reservations about a coach joining in contact drills. Whist showing the boys exactly how he wants a certain play to be executed is ok, it leaves him in an awkward position if that involves contact.
Contact drills are best left to the defensive coach.
A coach needs to be respected and followed and nothing should compromise this. He'll get respect by being there to occasionally pull the player aside and take a genuine interest in him, be personal.
A lot of players hate their team mates at times because of over zealous wrestling and due to their competitive nature. A coach shouldn't be in that position.

1. Fancy getting upset that you got hit hard by Benji tackles like a cat Marshall
2 Why is Marshall in opposed sessions, is it to replicate the piss weak effort we put in on weekends
3 Remember when a,d asked for 800k and we all laughed and laughed.
4 If a.d leaves it's no loss, he's an over paid hack

My sentiments too gordy. I believe a coach shouldn't be involved in contact drills full stop.

I sort of like it.

Here is the thing - Benji loves footy. He has heaps of flaws. He is an emotional bitch at times. I am pretty sure he gives them emotional BS instructions like "just play footy boys" when they are getting ready for games and it's so stupid.

At the same time if he can somehow add some smarts to go along with that passion I think he may get it together.

 

[Nutz]

AD obviously want more money and the only way he'll get that is as a ½-⅝ leader.
What club will pay him around 800k after several knee recos and aging. He's an arm grabber, slow off the mark and can't jump due to knee.
If he wants out I would definitely let him go regardless of the media backlash.
We have at least three centres that can hold the forth till season's end:

Tu’itupou - obvious choice to play outside To'a
Taylan May - should be good to go in a couple rds.
Faataape - not the worst
Feledy - has had his chances
Makasini - last two games
Naden (last year imo)
Lobb - worth a try out wide
Tito - been around and still young. Defensive issues but hasn't been given an opportunity. Give him a target rd to work towards.
