Do you play the boys the tape?

After a bad loss, Benji would put on video of origami classes and the boys would make exquisite paper rabbits and orchids to take home in their Maseratis and Lamborghinis.

That’s what it seemed like to us last year anyway.
Enjoy the win, merkin. It's quite obvious you've been reveling in the glory and what comes with it.

Yeh, well he had the added advantage of Moses/Gutho being available for most games.
I don't think Moses and Guth played many games together under Barrett...
Barrett had the team playing better with DJ Asi running the show...blokes like RCG, Ogden, Makatoa having a crack in the forwards
Not the blokes who will take the club forward but very few in the current team will either
Paulo I feel for but he's a shadow of his former self...
Yes both games have been extremely hot but gee we look so disjointed and disorganised it's not funny

Hopefully that the last we see of Ronald Walkman today. Bring on Dean Hawkins and JAC.

There should be quite a few others who should join the Walker in reggies.

The reality is this downward spiral started under the stewardship of Sarantinos and ONeil in 2021, the replacements for the 6 or so players that left where such poor quality and that only continued used as poor recruitment continued unabated.

Pou will carry on about clubs at the bottom etc , when we basically had the opportunity to strengthen the roster and those in charge failed. Not certain it’s the cause, but having a Tigers life member in charge hasn’t worked well.

we need a Gus Gould or even a figure like Shane Richardson running the football side of the club, until we put an alpha figure in charge we will go nowhere.

There’s a couple of senior forward ssigned long term who are basically stealing a salary, when your 2 best forwards today were A 19 year old prop who has a PO for next year and a 21 year old hooker not in the top 30 tells the real story. Time to move on and reset the football dept

I am going to be potentially shot down here but Hopgood is just too slow and over rated...he was good when he joined us but has become a typical parra player..
Pedestrian, predictable and pitiful
Yep. He had an offload which everyone loved but now teams have worked him out he’s a slow, undersized middle with poor handling who gets dominated in the ruck on both sides of the ball.

MON and Saranto's needed to go as well as BA. It wasn't just him and his coaching staff.
