Good luck Joffa.

Good luck Joffa.

It will be interesting to see now Joffa has been released whether there is a master plan behind this decision for this season given that we can't afford too many injuries to our forwards, otherwise we will be in the same position as Parra finds itself.

 

[Tiger-ferret]

Thanks for your efforts Joffa. You came to us as a struggling club and pushed hard to change it even during a spoon year. Appreciate your passion. So happy you got a try in your last game for us. Good luck in the future!

Ps - Hope the eels don’t stink your career up too much

Wish him all the best, very solid player. With a bit of luck may get to play semi final football.
I think the NRL has to have a look at Mid season player movements, maybe increase the squad number to 33 with a commensurate increase in salary cap.

farewell Joffa, can never question your passion or desire for this club to succeed. been an excellent role model on and off the field. wishing you all the success in the world at Parra, just not against us. best of luck mate.

The whole situation is a bit weird, seems like he's not going. Maybe he changed his mind or the club changed or both?

Lack of info on why they released him

 

[earl]

He has been great for us but I completely understand releasing him. We need to actively manage the cap.

Seems Official ! Joffa named at Prop for Parra next Friday night
Can someone explain why we are doing this ?
What do we get out of this ?
Is Parra helping us out with anything ?

 

[JRDee]

Brain dead decision IMO. Watch the injuries and suspensions we get now

 

[tiger05premier]

Sad news about Joffa

I wish him all the best but no premiership mate

Unfortunately you are going to one of the most hated clubs in Australia

You are too good a person to put on that shitty blue and gold jersey

Good luck Joffa.
All the best.

Really want to lose it with this decision but I will wait for a bit to see if we benefit from something this season now.
For the life of me I will never understand helping out another club mid season without something in return especially when we are still in striking distance of making the eight and the team we are helping out is only 2 points ahead of us.

My thoughts exactly.... We better be getting someone better in return...

This better be more than just saving cap money for us….

I think the club is not sure itself…..

Joe has been a great servant of Wests Tigers and I wish him all the very best in his new club. Players come and go from clubs all the time but it's always a little sad when you lose really good people like this bloke. What a way to leave though. One try and another stolen by a bungling bunker and a 48 point winning margin!
