The Tigers will cop plenty of flak when everyone realises even with Luai they are still a below average side. Dragons roster is terrible and Parra are looking poor too. I think we’re a fair way down in the whipping boys stakes.

Funny thing is I’m seeing a lot of predictions with us coming last or bottom 4, and dragons and tigers around 8th.
 
I reckon the Tigers will be a bit like us in 2018, the injection of ability in the spine will make a difference, and I think Luai has the kind of personality where he’ll bully some of the soft ***** around him into trying a bit harder. But you can’t make the 8 with that pack, and also losing habits take time to overcome.

A fun thing to do is watch a Tigers game from the last two years and just keep your eyes on Api Koroisau the whole time. He’s been playing out of his mind. He’s been so good. The guys around him let him down constantly.
 
Tigers will improve no doubt they’ve added quality. Can Benji coach though? Be interesting if they flick Klemmer off to England or he ends up back at the club on a modest deal.

As for the dragons and flanno I’d love nothing more than to see them get the spoon

That’s my main question too … yes the squad has improved, but is Benji the right person to get anything out of it? Going to be interesting to see.

He seems to be shaking the tree the right way from media reports. Not happy with mediocre lack of preseason fitness. I do hope they go well

When you say Klemmer could end up back at the club on a modest deal,
Do you mean back at the Knights?

At 31, he still has a year or 2 left in him.... He was good helping develop the Saifiti's and we could use that again with the young front rowers coming through.

We could do worse.

He'd be a fantastic mentor if we have any players who are off contract and looking for that sort of thing.

Wait a sec ... dammit!!!
 
Klemmer back on the cheap would be great for a year or two. Great work ethic, would be a great mentor for the young blokes coming through.

Good cover for Leo leaving until the young guns are good enough to keep him out of the team.
