To be honest I never thought that he would come our way , yes it would had been nice if he had however not to be .

Whether or not there will be other decent forwards on the market we don’t know however the other teams would have their full compliment by now so perhaps we may yet still snare one worth signing .

So the dragons are waiting for all other teams to update their rosters by making big signings, and then the dragons swoop in and get all the leftovers when the other teams don’t have cap space. All the other teams are playing checkers, whilst the dragons are playing chess…or maybe Uno…I don’t know.

Exactly right. Tiges paid top dollar for Luai, but he will turn out to be good value.

They hope...without the same coach, squad, leadership and No 7 surrounding him.. time will tell
His prancing and a dancing will take some getting used to for the Tigpies

 

[Das Hassler]

That still remains to be seen, having Luai there sure helps but it wont turn them into an instant Penrith, remains to be seen what the players around him do. Look at Olam and Bateman classic example.

Olam was playing injured since he came right up untill he had to sit it out for surgery...'24 had nothing to do with his form.

I never said that , you have misinterpreted what I wrote .

However for what it is worth once again - should another player of note happen to come onto the market now then the Dragons would be in a better position to sign the individual , why ?

As you have pointed out , other clubs would be close to their maximum salary cap level - however that was not Flanagan’s plan of action as he wanted those individuals then , whilst negotiating with them , but unfortunately the players that he was after chose elsewhere to continue their careers .

You call it chess , checkers - or maybe it’s just plain simple old arithmetic , that equation being more dollars on offer at other clubs .

So you have spoken to him and he has told you personally that Benji is a better coach than Flanagan who has won a premiership? Secondly you also know that the fact that Luai and Sinai Turuva both Penrith players that I assume he knew were now at the Tigers had nothing to do with his decision?

No I haven’t spoken to him but apparently he spoke to Flano and gave him the big NO THANKS

RUOK?
Saying Flanno is a bad coach is like trying to argue that Cameron Smith is overrated, I tried that for ages and in the end I just looked stupid, he was clearly a great player as much as I didn’t like him….

I told you so. na na na na na.

Another good signing Nutz.
My prediction for next season is more misery however, you don’t have a coach. Now that you have the roster, Benji will have nowhere to hide.
I actually think he will quit mid season, fall on his sword.
Once you get a coach on there that roster will fly, 2026 should be a big year for tigers.
