The boys are back with Eddie, Nick, Declan, and Steve giving one thing they like about the off-season, as well as one Tigers-related rant.
We dive into a deep discussion on the history of underperforming senior players against the culture and training standards at the club and who is more to blame.
We look at John Bateman’s contract situation and whether more shaking of the tree needs to be done at Concord.
Eddie asks the boys what is one roster decision that is most important if they were in control over the next couple of months.
Eddie also states his case as to why the Wests Tigers need to sign Clint Gutherson as our fullback for the next two seasons.
Plus another edition of Buy, Sell, and Hold including whether it’s time to drop the burden of captaincy on Api Koroisau, and whether Jack Bird can be our answer next season at lock.
It’s a jam-packed edition with all that and more in over an hour’s worth of debate in episode 364 of the Wests Tigers Podcast.
Recruitment and retention is our problem. Now we wasted a spot with Doueihi, should have been train and trial contract only.Bird I don’t agree with. We haven’t extended Sione Fainu. We need a Utoikamanu replacement. Now Jordan Miller is sacked. Late twice for training is not worth sacking over,yes,a rocket,fines and extra training, he is a player we need to develop and keep for our junior pathways not to fall apart. I hope we move Bateman and Doueihi on.Extend Sione Fainu and keep Miller as he wants to stay. Nov 1st we seem not prepared to chase Leo Thompson from Newcastle starting prop , Willison from Broncos play on edge and Tapuha from Sharks bench prop for 26.
