Squad for 2021

[Tiger05]

so future looks good, just not sure when good will come

We are always building or looking good at the start of the season. Then it goes to shit.

Bellamy thinks JAC will make it at FB

Bellamy is clearly just talking JAC up so that he gets as much as possible for his next contract. I'm sure Bellamy feels a little bit guilty getting so much out of a player for such little.

What about his own reputation? He doesn’t come across as a bullshitter, though of course I don’t know the man.

Interesting !!!

Madge is full of shit ..Hardest decision to drop Benji Pilease..His hardest decision is to try out new players now instead of the start of next year when important points are at stake ..Brooks contract is a long term contract..He has so many holes in his story

Maguire said it was "disappointing" to see sensitive information leaked from the club and wished Marshall had not found out in such a way.

Another leak occurred following a club crisis meeting on Monday, at which players revealed they felt as if they were walking on eggshells around Maguire.

"It shows where we are this moment in time and what we need to move towards," Maguire said. "Top-end teams, that never gets out, does it?"

100% with Madge and Nofo on this one. The leaks show what a Mickey Mouse club we are. The whole organisation needs to lift the bar when it comes to professionalism.

 

[Tigerm]

I think Madge is doing OK, its a must to clean out the deadwood, some are hard, some are easy.

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nr...y-cap-cut-by-10-per-cent-20200909-p55u1p.html

I just posted this on another thread but it's relevant here. The top 30 roster is due to stay but there is a 10 per cent cut in the cap. That is going to be rough to manage.

 

[Tiger05]

I'm assuming we are getting JAC and Tamou now. I don't think I'll be wrong. The news is off another forum but from a poster who typically gets it right.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Given we will be coming 9th yet again (I actually think this is a good result given our roster), let's play some fantasy football for 2021. *is potential signing:

1. JAC*
2. Nofa
3. BJ
4. AD/Mbye
5. Talau/Kepoa/Staines*
6. Mybe/AD/Reynolds
7. Brooks/Walters
8. Aloai
9. Liddle/Grant*
10. Tamoa*
11. Garner
12. Luciano
13. Twal
14. Mikale
15. Blore/Stefano/Musgrove
16. McIntyre/Hetherington*
17. Liddle/Reynolds

Doueihi and Mbye are the biggest question marks in terms of positions imo. If JAC kills it at FB it will cause a reshuffle. I don't think AD or Mybe is the answer at 6 but I could be wrong.

There are a lot of question marks amongst our backline, but there is enough here to settle a strong 1-17 by the end of 2021, and identify which positions we need to strengthen. Then Reynolds and Packer contracts end and we can go after two really good players in those said positions.

This all hinges on Tamoa and JAC signing because if they keep their current form, or even improve, it will set a precedent that quality high level players can come here and not ruin there careers under Madge

No Packer ^ BrotherJim

I’d have McIntyre any day before Garner.

I read today that coach Robo has a suggestion for reserve grade next year if the NSW Cup does not start again,
https://www.nospam47.com/au/league/...qld-cup-second-tier/110ba7897t2j1u91wg96b9s3b
This is so important for the reserves coming through such as Madden, Blore, Stefano, Simpkin, Talau, Cini and others coming through as these guys need games, not just training games/scrimmage.

16. Twal
17. Simpkin
The backline is a hard one to pick just yet.

 

[Tigers Tale]

This talk of Jack Hetherington, is he on our radar and a chance of coming to us. I saw him play in Canberra some years ago. He is a big unit and he certainly has good genes, I am pretty sure he is related the Mullins (Bill, Russell & Brett).

Momo is returning to concord so assuming AD at 6 then Momo will likely be 4.If only one of the QLD teams would show interest in Mbye.

We’ve got no hope of getting hetherington .Retaining him would b reason for penrith not re-signing Tamou.

Will b interesting to c if Stefano justifies the hype.

 

[WA Tiger]

Madge is only offering wing money for JAC according to the NRL 360 lady who contacted the club and if he proves himself at fullback then he can get an upgrade..a little too tentative for me..we spend on average 6-800k on shit and then risk losing a test player by doing the “correct thing..” ..Bit of a worry ..if true

 

[The_Frog]

Hetherington expected to be released, most likely to join the Warriors. Tamou looks to be yours.

Walters needs to get the Broncos job..He’s the only coach willing to part with money for Mbye..

I’d prefer Hetherington although Tamou does have much integrity & we can certainly do with his leadership qualities
