The first registration day, and a free barbecue, for the 2015 season, will now be held on November 21 at 5.30pm at Mackay Park.
Interested players can contact first grade coach Matt Cross on 0407 445 290.
It is vital that players register as soon as possible because the club must show Group 16 and the CRL that it has the capacity to field three teams next season.
The club has flyers with up-to-date details and an events calendar for all those interested.
Tigers’ president Bob Mitchell says training for 2015 will officially start on January 6 and January 9, and that several players have already started to get some miles into their legs.
“First sightings of the near-extinct Batemans Bay Tiger on the Far South Coast are being reported after an absence of nearly 36 years,” Mitchell said.
“A few credible witnesses have come forward – from Moruya way during the past season – and first-hand reports will be available next week.”
Classy centre Mason Harrison is a possible starter for next season.
“He will bring toughness and experience to what is shaping up to be a decent set of backs,” he said.
“All that is required now is for Adam Ruttley to put some polish on the show and the side will be in business.”
