How much did the tigers pay for his overall contract? So much for being homesick from his daughter in England. That’s why he left the Raiders a few years ago. Good player, but getting old.
Getting older yet played majority in UK not here. That’s gotta help prolong he’s career. I enjoy watching him actually, wish he was coming here. Homesickness thing annoys shit out of me, shouldn’t be allowed unless a family member is chronically ill or something

Couple of good signings, but its still Tim Ihavntcoachedinyears Sheens and Benji I havenevercoached Marshall at a club that is 5 times the basket case we ever were in the front office..

Moses wont go anywhere unless its a club with a genuine premiership chance without a gun 7..
Definitely a team to watch with interest next year. I’d personally like to see them have a little success. Not win the comp but at least get back into contention

Tigers didn't have that bad a side on paper this year either, and still failed dismally. Was it solely Madge the problem? I'm not really sure it was.

This year they had a decent spine (Laurie/Douiehi/Brooks/Hastings), some solid forwards, and still got the spoon. You'd almost argue they had a better side than us at times (with our injuries).

Just because you buy a whole stack of players with capability, doesn't mean they'll gel as a team.

Apparently Bateman and Hastings hate each other from Wigan days and there is a rumour that the Tiepies might look to offload Hastings and use the extra cap to get Klembitch from Newcastle..

That bitch Klemmer will have to move to Campbelltown , his missus will be disgusted with that thought.

its a long way to tow the 45 year old caravan...
100%

Plus hard for Klem as he has to put the seat down in the loo in the old caravan to take a piss while Chloe is driving
