Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Thats dumb, just wait a year.
We need Joffa and he is just hitting form with some quality support around him.

joffa is behind klemmer, Bateman papali and stef he is the one forward worth some cash that you can afford to trade

 

[Scorpion]

Pretty sure he'd signed a 1 or 2 year deal with chooks

Still on a TT, Chooks need to create room in the cap. Supposed to be trying to move JWH to SL.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Buzz said a week ago that his “mail” had MM extending at the eels by the end of the week

In tomorrow’s DT he has MM still a chance to sign with the Tigers

He literally just makes it up as he goes

the Brooks reporting from Buzz shows he has nfi especially when it comes to the tigers

Hey all FWIW I have no contacts at Pawwa or Tigers but I do at Bullfrogs. Unfortunately. And please beware no matter what is said in the Media their biggest goal now is to get a 7 for 2024. And yea they are still in negotiations with MM. Now one question I do have who do they have that they can swap that Pawwa? Who they maybe interested in? I dont’t know but that option is still in the equation.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Or trying to build better combo's with MM when they play together at the WTs

maybe in the same team but not in the halves together

He isn’t behind anyone, he will start.
Was the 1st player Benji signed into his years.

Papa and Bateman don’t play the same position unless Bateman is maybe viewed as lock.
Stef isn’t infront of him at the moment.

Our biggest issue has been forward quality & depth. You need 9 quality forwards each week.

Joe makes us better for next few years be dumb to move him on to gain 1yr early at a 2yr cost quality to us.

he is no world beater and as I said as far as forward leaders go klemmer Api papali Bateman are all better forward leaders than joffa.
nobody thought Hastings would go to Newcastle either, if it meant parramatta wanted joffa as second row for Moses in 2023 he would be gone

 

[Scorpion]

I myself have been informed that I used to be a part of your Facebook page untill you dictated that disagreeing with your opinion means banning.

But hey thanks for your update here.

Appreciated

Manyof us are in that boat.

Mark O'Neil is a special kind of idiot by all reports in relation to retention and recruiting players

He got Ellis to WT when he was playing in the UK so his recruitment used to be excellent

In a team that was pathetic last year, Joffa ended the season ranked inside the top 10 in two important categories across the whole league (most runs and most tackles). He cracked top 20 across the whole league for most offloads and top 30 for most run meters. Imagine what he can do with 3 or 4 blokes beside him also having a crack.
First player picked for mine and should be captain.

You’re dreaming if Joffa goes.
Benji wants him he will be staying.

he won't play huge minutes though

They won’t be letting Joffa go after we re-signed him too on most likely a solid deal for him. Joffa makes our 17 easily if fit.

do they have a cap? apparently spencer leniu is also going to them in 24

 

[Glenji95]

He’ll easily play a lot of minutes mate. If he is at Prop and Matamua comes off he gets shifted to 13 easily. Or if he’s on the bench he’ll still get plenty of game time. He’ll easily get at least 50 minutes a game.

 

[Tucker]

Why not?

 

[BAGNF05]

I think the simple answer is no, it’s damn near impossible for a halfback to create anything from behind a forward pack with no momentum, most times you’re kicking from inside your 40 on the back foot with their forwards raining down on you because of a slow play the ball, all ya can do is chip bomb for field possession, must the loneliest feeling

For evidence refer to Mitchell Pearce’s origin career.

There are quite a few players that must be traded before we even think of selling Ofahengaue e.g. Seyfarth, Nofoaluma, Twal...

 

[Cobarcats]

Why not?

I still think Matamua is a bit green, bateman is coming in late, blore still to be tested...a lot of uncertainties.
Joffa can play big mins in every position except hooker.
I think he'll get big minutes until this forward pack shakes out, at least until players start cementing positions. Joffa was the only rock amongst pebbles last year. He's the type of player you want in a side, leading a rebuilding pack. Imo.
