Interesting stat I just read that in Luke Brooks's career he has ran for over 110 metres 9 times and we have won 8 of them and gone into golden point once.
Obviously there is an element to the fact that he has big running metres in games we're generally playing well but with numbers like this...
So I got an amazing experience tonight courtesy of a friend who is responsible for organising one of the major sponsors of the Tigers. Some amazing seats and dressing room passes post game.
I was in a sea of Broncos fans and gave it to them all night. At one point when they were behind in the...
Looking at the run homes of the teams in contention for 8th position and our chances are not be as bad as it feels like despite being 4 behind the Broncos.
Here are the run homes of the three sides. Ours is the best of them despite running into Souths twice and the Dragons again.
Broncos -...
This is in particular directed at those questioning his signings and selections. I feel like I need to go into bat for the guy.
The Tigers after last season needed a roster refresh. I think that was plain to see and I think that was his mandate from the club when he was signed. I think we...
It's a huge ask given he played 2 NYC games to play a full season in first grade in a side coming last.
I fear continuing to expose him will be detrimental. He needs a week off and then to come back through ISP.
Give Heleta a run. See what he's like.
Lots underneath the surface to Lovett. Rough as guts to watch play but most couldn't rack up 47 tackles. ET gets reverence for similar output and has way more experience. Maybe should start being pragmatic about Lovett.
I believe it would be a great gesture and statement for the club to offer Chris Heighington a chance to retire with us. In the NFL there is a practice of clubs re-signing their stars after they retire with other teams (having been moved on due to matters of professional sport) and it is quite a...
Just reading that the list of life members at the club is:
Benji Marshall
Robbie Farah
Tim Sheens
John Skandalis
Mark O'Neill
Brett Hodgson
Chris Lawrence
Dene Halatau
There is one name that is missing from this list that really should be on it. Liam Fulton.
Liam won a premiership here...
I just noticed that Cleary played two seasons with Taylor at North Sydney and have noticed Taylor has spoken highly of Ivan since his dismissal and Ivan certainly has not been slating Taylor (unlike how Taylor spoke of Potter). I wonder if they are mates? Anyone know what their relationship is...
Getting hot now so rather than making a thread for every random signing rumour let's talk here about rumoured signings.
So far we have rumoured to have actually been signed.
Chris McQueen
Kurt Capewell
Ben Matulino
Taane Milne
Rumoured approaches but no claims of being signed.
Shaun Johnson...
I would have sacked Taylor too. Hell I made a thread calling for his sacking before the Canberra game. However it isn't because I think we are no chance in 2017\. Not even close.
Cast your mind back to 2016\. From round 20 to 26 we lost 3 matches. 1 was a loss to the Titans by 1 point. The...
I was speaking to my someone last night who is a Warriors fan and she told me not to be surprised if we end up with Shaun Johnson if we do sign Cleary.
Apparently he is close to Ivan Cleary and with the Warriors struggling, plus having a lot of marquee signings and Johnson off contract Cleary...
Here are a few of the many impressive coaching feats over the past two years that other clubs coaches have managed to do, while our coach has taken our talent filled roster nowhere.
Ricky Stuart - Took a club going nowhere, added rejects like Rapana, Leilua, Austin (lol) and a bunch of English...
Grind early. Make early statements.
We cannot win a shootout with Canberra. If we play loose and free all game and afford Canberra early possession and points we will get blown away. We need to keep the ball in play. No touch finders, no dead ball kicks. High kicks and early kicks. Play to tire...
I am a pragmatic person. Taylor did ok last year and he might get them to the 8 this year. However given the circumstances surrounding the re-signing of several key players as well as having an unprecedented clean salary cap next year it is imperative that we put a respected figurehead in place...
'The Parramatta Eels have released Mitch Cornish, Bureta Faraimo, James Hasson, Luke Kelly, Scott Schulte, Kelepi Tanginoa, Vai Toutai, Honeti Tuha and Matthew Woods while Cameron King has signed for the Wentworthville Magpies for season 2017!!!
From Ali's rumours.'
Woods gone already.
I...
I work just across the river and the traffic was real bad. It wasn't until I got over the William Jolly Bridge and onto Petrie Terrace and saw the Titans fans that I realised … it could have been us tonight. :bawling
So close to seeing the Tigers in a final in my hometown. And then I was...
