Adam D a Lock?

This is what I don't get, the guy has talent and potential. Yet he doesn't seem to have a solid place in our team. All last year we were after people to put their hands up, own your spot.

Adam does not have that Grit that you see in a Jake Friend or Cam Mc. He is no where near Cam Murray and would suck trying to play football like Cam Murray.

Maybe Adam D can play lock like Queensland used to use DCE at lock. Yet we clearly don't have Cronk and Thurston in our halves nor a dominant forward pack that can afford to be a man short.


Where does Adam D fit?
He hates Center,
Doesn't seem to want to be fullback. (Laurie suits better there).
Probably won't want to be wing.
Not a halfback.

We don't want him at 5/8. Adam could have claimed his spot, he did not. I have no idea where he fits.

Lock for me.. has the middles to lean on for defence.. then can roam around the ruck and pick the opportunity when arises.. attack is his go.. if that doesn't work then maybe the 650k he's on would be a valuable chunk on the next guy..

Mitch Moses... I just can't do it.

Look I have no ill towards the guy. Hey be part of the Tigers and he says "No". Okay, I respect that.
Others hate his guts I get it, but I respect Moses oddly because he was clear from the start "I don't want to be here, stop talking me up. I want out of the club".

No way do I want him back. It's like that old girlfriend you meet again 9 years later who you had a bad breakup with, I am over it. I don't want to mess with her relationship nor her mine.
Yes he can do the halfback role, yes he would be better then Brooks for what we need.

Rugby league I hate you. Let Parra and Moses have a nice career together.

That's fair enough. Each to their own.

All's I'm saying is if we bring him back, do it on our own terms. At this point I'm prepared to take anyone on that will make us a better team. The teams that routinely feature in the finals don't get there by playing nice.

Where's Joffa going to play then. Touted as a captain.

Sorry jrtiger I'm not up to speed with the lower grades: how old are some of those players you mentioned?

@SeanT

The one’s @jrtiger mentioned are:
Josh Feledy, 18
Junior Tupou, 20
William Craig, 17
Heamasi Makasini, 15
Dudley Dotoi, 19
Solomone Saukuru, 18
Sione Vaihu, 19
Kurt Picken, 21
Trey Peni, 20
Livai Saukuru, 20

From there, Feledy looks to be clearly the best prospect, I rate Tupou pretty highly too.

Makasini is outstanding but only 15.

Not sure if Dotoi is still with us (from QLD) but he looked very good too.

Hope we get at least two or three first-graders from that bunch.

Joffa is in the side for sure.. but we've got this passionate West tigers player .. who's a pretty good footballer.. but through whatever circumstance hasn't quite found his niche..as yet.. maybe it's lock.. but in my opinion he's too good to leave out of our 17 with the current roster for 2023
 
For me ad needs to do what is best for the team. He missed most of the year with a busted knee the club stuck by him. I don’t recall him once comming out and backing the club saying there is good times ahead and I’m looking forward to repaying them for backing me. all you hear is him demanding to play 5/8 and asking a ridiculous price of $800 000 a year after playing 7 or so games this year and missing no joke 20 tackles that led to try’s. I’m a fan of him and think he can be a great 5/8 and he has a lot of potential but I just wish he would vocally back this club and say I’ll play where ever Is best for the team.

Cutting off one's nose to spite one's face" is not a good thing.
I like to play props at prop, edges to edges and a lock till death us part 🤣
Brooks and AD in the halves.
If bateman comes he and papa will be our edges imo. Stef, Api and klem middles with a few goodins on the bench.

AD isn't a lock IMO. Reckon he would be a huge flop playing 13.

Thanks for the run-down of the youngsters mate.
Now we just play the waiting game I guess.

I'm hearing you but with the current game it's not uncommon for a player to start in a position then transition into another.. with the current squad I could envisage.. api passing to AD.. linking up left or right with either Brooks or Laurie then a hard running paps or Bateman.. slight improvement than 4 up for bomb
