Rumours and Stuff

Tigers have genuinely doing everything right for 12-18 months now but there has been almost no indication that it would work. Last month has been encouraging. Last night was exactly what we needed to get all the new guys, Api, Papali'i, Klem, Bateman to buy in and believe what these guys can be.
Ice played well but still plays 'stuck in the mud' when defending.

I've never wanted a non Parra team and willed them to win a particular game more than this one. They were fantastic. And it's all about Smokin Joe that made me watch.
My much loved late Aunty was a massive Magpies/Tigpies fan. I have a genuine soft spot for them as a result.
They should burn any remaining copies of Tales From Tiger Town. Whoever thought that was a good idea is probably their main issue.

Sign someone else to do that job?
If hes as good as they say then we fight to keep him. All things being equal, If hes keen to go Im not sure what that says about Our Eels. That said most leave. Avenger should start a list. I see weve snuck Grima out the back door as well. Poor bugger. Punted from TCT and replaced with your little Greek mate and now gone from Parra.

It looked to me like he realised what he was leaving and going to. That would make me cry too.
Probably crying in realisation that those younger forwards who came through the Tigers pathways and are staying won't have the same chance at finals football a premiership in their careers that he now has through leaving... a poignant realisation.

I'm sure it means not all things are equal. Weren't the Dragons looking at him for a Head of Football Ops type role? I dunno, it's all hearsay. But sometimes you need to leave your current employer if they don't have room for you to grow.

And sometimes you head back to where it all began, even for less money, if you can feel like you are giving something back.

Nathan Brown is and always will be a Dragon first, and an NRL professional second.

And we get someone else who actually wants to do Brown's current job if he thinks he's too good for it. From his discussions with TCT it doesn't sound like it's a full-time role, so the club has to find other work to keep him busy.

That being the case we obviously chose the wrong person.

Our aim is to become a development club. Hard to imagine there is insufficient work. Burnie Gurr saw this as our main priority. Walk the walk Eels.
Haven’t thought about Weekend at Burnie’s for a while!
He’s probably laying under a pile of hookers and coke as we speak.
