Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[tony soprano]

If Moses was gonna stay at Parra surely he would have announced it by now?

You'd think so.

 

[Demps]

now a fraud? thats rough mate. he's just a guy with a low ceiling, who can be replaced by a kid for experience. He genuinely seems like a good guy, dresses and presents well.

Not a fraud **

I think he can get better and will...
Time will tell.

Ease up big fellar just thought I'd ask a question as to why you would think these 2 legend are incapable to teaching and implementing a quality defensive system, from my point of view and perhaps many others I'd assume these 2 individuals both of which at times were the very best of their respective positions and probably within the top 10% of toughest players to lace a boot I've had the pleasure to witness would be more than qualified . Don't know who you would rather perhaps give us your ideas mate instead of just bagging others positivity while you persist in conjuring up your negative narrative of years past. Some people may like what their starting to see and are heading for the light not spiralling into the vortex of death you seem to prefer.

Brilliant !

Feel we are now a decent chance of getting Moses, but not til 2024 based on how the Eels carried on when we signed Stefano a year or so ago.

I'm pretty confident we get Moses for 2024

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

mate, really? agressive. No point when you get smashed repeatedly and cant go forward. happy to be proven wrong, but we all know McIntyre had more potential than him

seyfarth like Brooks like Douihie and Laurie you put these guys around good players they will improve.

one exception nofo went to Melbourne and didn't really improve, still same old Nofo

Look at how Moses improved around better players at Parramatta

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

I like some sauce in my team, an I don’t mind having Seyfarth on min wage, local Jr, passionate , still learning and getting better, but in a top four side he probably has not even debut in nrl yet and is probably still on a Reggie’s contract not taking up a top 30 spot.
Joffa is first grade material at every club wether it be off the bench or in SOO. He was our best forward last year, both on and off the field. Also his output is comparable to his salary, (we’re not paying overs). He’s only just turned 27 and will be 29 in the last year in his current contract.
I was clarifying that bomber would cut Joffa before Seyfarth and I think his answer is a yes.
My answer is no way I’m cutting Joffa over Seyfarth.

I would cut Joffa too if it meant you could bring a subsidised Nathan Brown in to the side and keep seyfarth for depth.
Is Joffa a 13 ? don't think he can ball play enough for Sheens
Is Joffa a Prop ? Don't think he is big enough for prop as far as metres go compared to say Stef and Klemmer

Potentially throw some remaining cash at upgrading a younger player,

We would still have
Pole
Twal
matamua
Simpkins

all still available

Hi guys, new to the forum.

It seems half u guys want the tigers to fail.

A quarter don't go for the tigers and the other quarter are true fans.

So much Tiger bashing going on here.

My 10cents worth. Seems the majority want to move Seyfarth on to open a spot for a potential signing but the same guys are more than happy to keep a player who wore a Penrith jumper on grand final day in support of his mates and old club.

I would much rather See

Toa
Naden
Tuki Simpkin go.
Even more Big Joe certainly hasn't impressed me either.
Out of this lot Seyfarth would be on the least cash but puts in more effort than the rest.

Welcome to the forum - but "true fans" mate! Any one who has stuck with the club for as long as most of us on here have, whether we are feeling positive or negative, agree with you or don't , are WTs fans and don't need to be categorized by anything other than that.

💯

Perfect squad player.
Better than Austin Dias types.
Local junior that always tries.

And has game IQ. You need a guy like this around your squad. Paul Gallen didn't light it up at the beginning of his career either.

 

[GCfan]

seyfarth like Brooks like Douihie and Laurie you put these guys around good players they will improve.

one exception nofo went to Melbourne and didn't really improve, still same old Nofo

Look at how Moses improved around better players at Parramatta

I actually thought Nofo was pretty good down there, even defensively

Yeah, Seyf gets a bad wrap on here.
He's 23 and plays in a hard position.

Him being in our top 30 is no issue.

 

[LUPO]

There has been some talk that if MM does come .. Para want 2 outside backs .. we’d be mad to offer our young talent .. but I’m not sure Para would except players like Nofa, Kenny or AD .. ?? What are everyone’s thoughts .. ??

Don't see how Parra are in any position to demand shit... If Moses signs we don't need to no players in return

 

[GCfan]

I guess that’s only for them to release him to us this season, otherwise you’re right, he’s off contract now

 

[crazycat]

I am just refreshed at how awesome our recruitment has been.

We were 16th. We have recruited:
Api Koroisau (top hooker).
I Papalii (well rated forward).
Klemmer (former orgin rep, maybe not at his best still had a great season.
Charlie Staines (no stain on his rep)
and
Bateman, a well rated second rower/forward that helped drive Canberra to a final's appearance.

Just look at this list and where we came on the ladder. Paper means nothing but I think this has been the best round of recruitment EVER for the WT.

Well said Bucko

 

[Masterton]

I thought he was almost exactly the same. Kept waiting for Bellayache to make a difference, but there was none I could discern.

Gota agree with Masterton here. No doubting his effort, but he still ran sideways a lot. His defence probs looked better as the centre & wide running second rower inside him probs made there tackes, unlike Kelma for us this year.

Maybe it was just the jersey I was fooled by

 

[Tigerwould]

I'm pretty confident we get Moses for 2024

Hope so. If I were WTs management I’d try and sign him for 2024 onwards and not get to mixed up in 2023 deals. Both WTs & Parra would know if he does sign with the WTs for 24 ..he’’ll probably be a burden for Parra in 23... The advantage will then be with the WTs..so I wouldn’t go releasing anyone we want to keep in exchange for an earlier release. I’ll let Parra squirm.

Getting rid of Joffa after he has just had his best season for us would send a poor message to the squad.
He still has plenty to offer.

I can’t believe what I am reading on this forum , u want to trade joffa and keep a reserve grader , and what happens when we get 2-3 injuries is seyfarth going to win us games with his no metres and average defence . I give up we got rid of nearly all the dead wood forwards who got us a wooden spoon and people want to get rid of our best forward last year
