Rumours and Stuff

Go to a pub in a more upmarket area with wealthy older people. In Sydney that's somewhere like the Oaks, not places around Newtown.

I only go places walking distance

Why would I regret that? I agree we suck this year, I just disagree that we've always sucked. Just because we are losing now doesn't vindicate every merkin's whinging from previous seasons. These are new problems.

Our structural problems aren’t new.

in attack or defence.

and no matter what people say, structure is SOLELY the product of coaching

Offload Matterson and sign Angus Crichton??

In what universe is Crighton better than Matterson?

Nail on head

Angus is a much better attacker. If he leaves hes going go union.
Knows how to hit a gap and good pace for a big fella

Matterson also knows how to hit a gap, has good pace, has very good ball skills. But he's been coached to chase the collision rather than the gap. Shame.

Hmmm. Never seen Matto get into the clear...chase the collision may have something to do with it

 

[the phantom menace]

I have been thinking how many of our players come to first grade/the club and show some decent skills in their first/early seasons which raises hope, but then go on in later seasons to leave us with the impression of underperforming?

Matto is one, Hopkins is another, so is Penisini. Lane also. One could argue Dylan Brown has as well. But yeah, nothing to do with our coaching and structures and tactics, some would have us believe...

 

[Pazza]

H2dOpe has done a job on these guys

 

[Tiger5150]

I’m sure he does sometimes.

No he does constantly..
If you bother to watch a Tigers game, particularly live, this is what sets Galvin apart from a lot of halves already and one of the things that has made him successful as such an early stage. Galvin is middle distance runner and has a massive motor, wins all the cardio challenges at training. His ability to get into position early for the next play is his biggest strength and many of our plays in their 20 involves Galvin switching early to attack the right. it would be 50%.

 

[Hindmarshisgod2]

Just to be clear, he was going to get a $150K bonus at Dragons for fullback. Its a fixed contract at Tigers. Centre/Wing and back up to Bula.

No one cares

 

[Tiger5150]

No one cares

Who cares?
Pou cares....

Our structural problems aren’t new.

They started when Moses got injured, so they are just over a month old. I guess you’re right.

in attack or defence.

Defensive structure is fine. It’s effort on effort that we find challenging. Attitude or just human biomechanics? We know not every player is equally mobile or determined. There’s only so much the coach can do.

and no matter what people say, structure is SOLELY the product of coaching

No, the players also need to execute. Nothing is SOLELY the responsibility of anyone. It’s simplistic to think otherwise.

I wouldn't be shifting Sloan just yet...who would be dumb enough to knock back $150k...BS of the highest order

....or.........
you just explained why he didnt accept that offer.........

 

[gaffer]

2 points down and slothivo has a brain explosion put him up for sale NOW

 

[Delboy]

In the second half Sutton only used one arm, the one pointing to Manly, amazing.

To be fair, we gave him every reason to use that arm.

The most idiotic half of football I have seen in some time.

I guess fair enough. Part time footballers, and they played in the first half, so couldn't expect them to turn up in the 2nd

Yep we deserved every one of those penalties. We are a very dumb undisciplined team.

I wonder who would be in charge of that aspect of our game...

All I know is it's not Teflon Brad.

 

[Soto]

There needs to be an investigation into this garbage reffing display...there should've been a send off and we got one penalty in the 2nd half...sutton you are an epic disgrace
