    @bayimports Bring back TMM. Metcalf is only in due to his injury and despite the publicity hype around him he appears to only be a good runner.

    Interestingly before his hammy went in pre season, the halves were TMM and Metcalf, SJ considered potentially as back up ( and we were even speculating retirement if he didn't find form). If SJ is playing with a niggle, would be tempted to rest him before finals if it meant bringing TMM back in leaving Metcalf in the 17.

    Im not so keen on dropping a young half this close to finals, especially since we are not losing but I want to see TMM play for sure and we need better decisions from the left.

      It's professional sport, who cares if he's a young half (he's not that young, he's 24) if there is someone in the squad better? Fair enough to keep him in if SJ is rested.

      We might have to wait until next year for Metcalf to do an Egan and live up to the hype.

        well right now, we are winning and there isn't anyone better? and TMM likely round 26 so it doesn't matter for now anyway.

        I haven't seen nearly the same hype articles you must have to be so wound up by this though lol

          If TMM is not back until rd 26 then yeah, it doesn't matter anyway. 🤣

          More so spending time on leaguie forums with Warriors fans than the media. My slim patience gets tested by those hype machines (not just for Metcalf, but in general).

                    @African-Monkey yeah Valance Te Whare getting close to this list too, but I agree with these two.

                    Also suspect with TPJ announcement given Bulldogs having cap issues, would not be surprised if a paper bag pay out

                      @bayimports Te Whare is still early so I'll reserve judgement for now, but yes, if he's at the same stage this time next year, then he'll definitely be up there in my books. He's like another Konrad Hurrell currently.

                        loooooool

                        by god the Tigers absolutely HATE it when we talk about other clubs possibly being worse than them

                        They are sacking Sheens from not only his coaching role, but the GM role they gave him.
                        in the words of Michael Ennis, fuck moi

                        Hire a guy you sacked to a GM role. Let him sack the coach and hire the new one. Let him put himself in as coach (after not holding a role for more than a decade). Then sack him from both roles inside 12 months. And before the end of the fucking season

                        Jesus shit what an utter utter shitshow

                        The guys who are actually running the club deserve more than sacking, they should be tarred and feathered.

                                    @mariner4life You'd get a gig on NRL 360 with this Tigers roasting haha (and yes, I'm well aware that it is true lol).

                                      they would get heckled less if they did less dumb shit.

                                      also that may be the most cutting insult i have ever had delivered at me, on here or anywhere

                                        I didn't like any of that - 3 NZ kids cheering for England and one saying that stupid saying. Lucky the Magpies won otherwise I'd be extra grumpy right now.

                                        Take that to the grumpy Nepia thread.
