I remain unconvinced, after all when was the last time Tigers ever splashed out and signed a truly recognised world class player :smt017

Lote, Mauger Gibson

A while a go.

But then again we haven't failed to make a final before let alone 2 in a row.

Mauger has brought a different philosophy and we have a much smaller squad IMO we are targeting a big name back who and will they came is another matter.

interesting that they are coming here on shorter contracts and want to play at Tigers and fight for their places - maybe things aren't as bad as we thought

Things were never that bad we just needed a change and one was made..

Mauger is hugely respected and there is a reason for it :smt023

Can't wait to support a team with a coaching set up I can get behind..Will make a change for the past month :smt003

So Kitto is getting here on Tuesday. That's great news. I notice Crowson said "marquee (s)". It couldn't be both Toomua and Nadolo? That's probably pushing it to be fair. :smt003

According to Cassandra's previously reliable mole on another thread, it's SBW!

Wouldn't be surprised IF it is

JDV for this season
Maybe Toomua, SBW, Nadolo etc for next season.
