good news if true, would move Simona to wing before the tackle shy Naiqama. Simona's best game for the Tigers have been on the wing. But then again if Naiqama is moved to the wing it would be easier for him to count to 1, because he can't count to 2

For some reason JT loves kev in the centres so you would think Simona to the wing is what he will do.

Personally, IMO Kev shouldnt even be in the side but if he has to be there (WHICH HE FUCKING DOES ACCORDING TO JT) he should be on the left wing outside of simona with idris and nofo on the right.

Its an interesting signing, Ive always liked Idris, happy to see him back. Was definitly thrust into the limelight too early, the dogs would have been smarter to put a media ban on him and keep him out of the spotlight for a few seasons..

When he was at his best he was one of the most damaging centres in the game and with the way the tigers play, it could really suit him.
By that I mean, inconsistent, not wanting to defend, red hot when red hot, terrible for 2 out of 3 weeks.

Kevs best position is left right out, but he is a good attacking weapon, only problem is half a game is about defense and he has no idea about that. In fact playing for the Tigers usually means more defense then attack.

I like what you said

JT might play Idris at hooker and goal kicker

And then out injured for the next month.

That's the true Tigers way.

What is it about Tigers coaches and left-field player positions? Sheens was an idiot savant (with heavy bias to one side of that affliction), and now it looks like JT found his old notebook and like what he saw.

Is it something in the water? Has anyone checked the aircon in the coaches office for Legionaires?

Mark O'Neill has left the club over an incident with another staff member a few weeks ago.

No idea what the actual incident was, but the Tigers statement says
"Discrimination and harassment will not be tolerated and the Board will not excuse misconduct in any circumstances"

So you can have a few guesses as to what happened.

I think if you're a female physio or doctor for a male professional sports team then there is a good chance you are going to see/glimpse a work colleague semi naked or naked. Unlike other workplaces, I don't consider this harassment or discrimination and the only words uttered should be opps or sorry. I think it crosses the line if a work colleague intentionally strips naked in front of you and then comments.

Never expected it from him, but then again, expected Corey Payne to go a long way as well 

O'Neill got pissed at mad monday and stripped off in front of a female employee.

I know what it likes to not be able to control yourself on a Mad Monday...

It was well before mad Monday.

With Ballin's history yeah.  Conflicting reports about how Liddle could be used, some saying he is still a year or 2 away, others saying it was only the 2nd tier cap keeping him out.

Sironen to Manly

Khunt will come good now, find that form from the back end of 2013, and become one of the most damaging second rowers in the comp

Confirmed? I wonder how much were still paying.

All of it, plus 50% on top for them to take him in the first place.

Not confirmed, manager in talks
Apparently he took up the option to give him a bargaining chip. He knows he wont get a run outside of NSW Cup and that would be a career / $$$ killer past 2017.

I called this when he took up the option. He had just been dropped, taylor doesnt want him. Why else would he take the option unless it was decent cash? with the way he has played the last year or 2, he isnt getting a big offer from anywhere else for his next contract.

He certainly needs a change of scenery, he still has so much potential and hopefully being dropped is that kick in the ass he needed.
Manly certainly have a back rower spot open now so can see it being true.

I'd take him at Newcastle, he could become something quite good.
