Nickname: Morgs / Big Morgs
Occupation: Civil Engineer
Role: Assistant Coach/Defender/Forward
Profile: Morgan is an old fashioned but effective bash and crash for defender, his brief ambitions for forward dominance were quickly curtailed by some poor goal kicking (mainly 2.8 against Merseyside). Morgs will help Chris out with coaching duties during training sessions for the upcoming season.

Warwick Bettles #33
Nickname: Cappa
Occupation: Marketing Manager
Role: Ruck/Utility
Profile: Cappa has joined the club after being convinced that the Tigers are a far superior team then the local American Football Club. No doubt he will likely regret this decision.

Tom Lally #21
Nickname: Lally, The Myth, Wombat
Occupation: Archaeologist
Role: Forward
Profile: Rumours are that Lally could play a bit, anecdotal evidence of 44 goals in 9 games helps back this theory up. However, his presence in a tiger shirt over the last two seasons has been as hard to find as the artefacts he is currently digging for in Australia. Wait and see.......
