The way Gibbs & Heighno have been treated really upsets me because they were brought up by our club and sure some may say they aren't the players they use to be, but surely treating them with some sort of respect was required.
Gibbs was probably in our top 3 players all season. He was fantastic! Maybe I just noticed him more because he was a shark but he certainly has not gone backwards as a player.

So glad that I don't have to put up with idiot fans blaming Ryan's tv commitments for his errors on the park. No more bogan idiot "Beau knows nothing" or "Beau knows how to drop the ball" comments.

The going backwards reference would have been targeted at Hino. Gibbs was fantastic for his last 2-3 seasons with us. Gibbs and Beau are 2 players we've now let go while in career best form.

Seriously f**ked up time at the Tigers. You've let go Fifita, Gibbs, Ryan and possibly Heighington to get Blair, Anasta and possibly Brent Kite. Also rumours you are set to let go Farah to Parramatta. Shocking time for you guys...... and totally confusing.

Tigers a club in crisis!beautiful

Club is not in crisis these moves are smart by the Tigers.

David Nofaoluma in the 20's is on par with Korobiete as a winger and is superior to Ryan right now.

Hino is on a large contract and has lost his punch and is now just a quick play the ball undersized 2nd rower. Fulton is our best forward and you can only carry one small forward these days not 2.

That said both Hino and Ryan have been great servants of the club but the negativity should be directed to coaching and recruitment or lack thereof.

The players they have lost are INFERIOR to the ones they have.
Coaching and recruitment is the issue with the club at the moment and they need to take action.
Dragging Farah into it for a twitter comment is a bit rich mate.

Tigers incompetent management & coaching is really the only big issue...I fear membership numbers will be down greatly next year.

As much as Heighnington & Ryan were great to have at the club, I think we have plenty of depth to cover those positions quite easily

and the Farah issue is a nuffy issue but no doubt you'll get a few ass hats here and now claiming he is a sook, not like we haven't heard it one billion times

Sheenius & Humpty are slowly but surely ruining our club.
They seem to have no idea about how much cap space we have or how much the cap actually is. They go about signing players then realise oh hey we are over the cap then desperately offload contracted players and destabilizing the playing group. No doubt half the players in top 25 play in fear because they know having a contract means nothing at our club.
The problems start from the top. Humpty has no clue whatsoever and is clearly listening to whatever Sheenius says.
The way Gibbs & Heighno have been treated really upsets me because they were brought up by our club and sure some may say they aren't the players they use to be, but surely treating them with some sort of respect was required. Ryan was no world beater but by god he gave his all for the jersey, i wish him the best at cronulla and i can see him going on and scoring 15 odd tries next year.
If we make the top 8 its a bloody miracle and no doubt if we do make it good old humpty will reward sheenius with a 4 year contract.

If only we had a Recruitment Manager to look after these things
