Good signing for the tigers.

  Yeah. The Tigers always seem to have a massive forward pack on paper but they are always so injury prone. Halfway through the season, they start complaining about how all their forwards have some injury.

    The Tigers are renowned for a tiny, mobile forward pack. What are you on about?

I haven't followed the English Super League much. Has he been playing any good anyway?

The tigers should have money to throw around. I looked at their 1st grade squad the other day and the only players who should be well paid in the squad are gareth ellis, benji marshall, robbie farah and taniela tuiaki. The thing is only benji and farah would be on big money.
