Cogger from the Knights has a good kicking game.

Ben Hunt > Jamie Soward

Aiden sezer has a good kicking game he still has a few years left in him if we can get him from the uk

 

[TSupps05]

If we are going for Hunt it will most likely require a $1mil salary, i would prefer to take Johnson for 600k

Shaun Johnson will not leave NZ for 600, he will want big big dollars for his pension fund.

Also any 7 we approach knows what we offered Moses and knows we are desperate, so the starting point will be a million. As for Hunt, would be my no1 target, perfect fit for our club for two years, but he will not go from one cellar dweller to another and will not be short of offers

Calling him Andrew Johns is pure trolling

It was a joke. If you can't handle a joke you have issues.

I'm pretty sure his dad played for Wests as well.

Trevor Cogger was a madman.

 

[Todd Packer]

Trevor Cogger and his uncle John Cogger are both Magpies legends.

I just watched the reggies replay and we need to picking Blore and Matamua on the bench this week.
In fact any of the reserve grade pack offer more off the bench than Joffa.
Give Simpkin the flick as well and just embrace the power game with Blore, Matamua Twal and Kepoa as our bench.

Like it apart from kepoa his defence on the edge scares me.

Hunt needs to be the priority over Johnson if he is allowed to leave the Dragons. Hunt's a better player at halfback, can fill in at hooker at an elite level (he's probably a top 5 hooker in the league too) and he rarely misses games nor has he had dips in form like Johnson has.

With that said, if we could somehow land both, that would be amazing. I suspect it's one or the other though.

Put yourself in Hunt's shoes. He's at a troubled merger club with bad management guaranteed big money, if he were to leave do you think he we want to come here?

IMO if Hunt leaves the Dragons, he's going to a successful club.

Johnson on the other hand is at a club with Te Maire Martin, Volkman, Metcalf all competing for NRL positions, and they've just signed RTS.

I think if we prioritise Hunt we end up with neither.

Also, Israel Ogden should never be allowed near a Wests team ever again.
Go down the local park , pick the first person you see and put them on the wing and they'll do a better job than Israel Ogden.

Kepaoa is a non-negotiable over Talau whilst Naden is out though.

He makes less poor defensive reads, is quicker both on the attack and laterally in defence and doesn't burn his winger for opportunities.

Blore was massive in that game. Matamua looks to be growing in physicality every week. Aitasi James continued to run the ball hard.

Blore has to be picked this week.

He's a better 2nd rower than Kepaoa.

Kepaoa is a better centre than Talau.
