Rd16 2024: Non Parra games

[Poupou Escobar]

Isn't interesting that we still don't have a top 30 yet manly went and signed Jake Simpkin and Aaron Schoup...
Ok not the greatest but better than lussick and Harper...just saying

Schoupp would be on very good money. Likely more than we have left in the cap. They are also able to promise him a top 17 spot. We are already struggling to find a spot for Talagi next year, even if we don't keep Simonsson.

I just did a welfare check on a great mate of mine who is a Faiders supporter. He responded and said he is soooo glad they signed Ricky to a lifetime deal… so good to have stability…

 

[Soto]

Utoikamanu should be playing for Parra....no fkn question about it...but nooooo we will sign Makatoa, Ogden etc and let a promising junior walk out the door...

Yeah nah. Besides Lomax, who else is indispensable? Don’t say Penisini because his defence is rubbish

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I get your perspective but also see it from Avengers perspective.
2022 was a great year but papered over sooo many cracks. Perhaps a wooden spoon will truly result in some tough questions being asked and a full review of the entire football operation being conducted.
There are many fans that I know that want a number of people moved on, not least the R&R committee, HOF, CEO and all coaching staff.
perhaps only a wooden spoon will result in all of that happening
EDIT - and of course a major refresh of the playing roster

Wooden spoon might see Sarantinos and/or O'Neill rissoled, but weren't they in charge during our four year finals run? It's not as if they've suddenly got no idea.

 

[Wally21]

Tigers so exciting to watch!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Good point you make fella. I just don’t know where to from here. It’s f**king disheartening

Don't be disheartened, just have patience. Last time we won the spoon we went on to make the finals in four straight seasons.

He'd be on f**k all. Good money my arse

Don’t disagree with you Pou. But sometimes the people who got you to here, aren’t necessarily the people to take you forward from here…

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I think regardless who they players are, that fact we havent signed anyone like an outside back to replace Simonssen till end of the year, tells you how poor the management is.

If we sign anyone at this time of the year they will be worse than Cini and Harper. Might as well just give them a run.

I think you are just talking absolute BS again...if we don't have $$$ with only a top 28 this has been the worst mismanagement of the salary cap in the history of the nrl...anyone who is involved and overseen this needs to be terminated effectively immediately and be arrested

 

[Gherkin]

Tigers are actually playing with a bit of enthusiasm and will to compete. Half our team are playing like they’re still mourning the sacking of their dad, in particular our #6

Agree that Cini should get a run.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Fingers crossed they make a quick and sensible decision to reset the clock in the club, and get R&R and pathways on the right track.

How are they going to fix this just by sacking people? If you assume their replacements couldn't be any worse you are very mistaken. These are very niche skills you're not going to get on seek.com. The only people who are better than we have are already contracted to other clubs.

So following your logic Pou, we keep everyone and be happy with being a wooden spoon contender. Yep makes sense

Likely more than we have left in the cap.

If you were honest you'd admit you know f**k all about what we have left in the cap - about as much as some random guy down the pub would know. Or anyone else on here....

They are also able to promise him a top 17 spot. We are already struggling to find a spot for Talagi next year, even if we don't keep Simonsson.

That's because Talagi can't tackle to NRL standard yet.

 

[the phantom menace]

C'mon Tigers, hope they can rack up the 50!

If you're going to post very hurtful gifs you will be held accountable.

Officially last on the ladder after 16 rds

knights, south’s and titans next 3 weeks

In some actual encouraging news , 4/5 in my tips

 

[Wally21]

I’m not emotional about Douhi getting a try after all the knees issues he has had, you are…
