Long way off cup level?
Doubtful....

Played well when he made the step up late last year (In a crap side)
And looked to be playing against children in Massey prior to that.

As I said, Staines won't sign on here to play Reserve Grade....
You seem to think he will or should (Or might) - I disagree.
He might at the Roosters or back at the Panthers, But not here he won't...

Ngutlik should be back before November I'd imagine, Should get a full pre-season with 1sts.
Like I said, He could be anything...
Shown more promise than at least half a dozen young blokes listed on the site.

I was looking forward to seeing him debut this year it’s a shame that he’s injured
 
So does anyone know if the tiger's are paying any of ofas contract while at parra next couple of years???

Didn't he suffer an ACL tear or a similarly bad injury?

Good to see you around again and I trust that you are well.

ACL in January....

I was pumped when I saw him in Lower Grades - The WC only heightened that....
He's raw (Sure) But he has everything needed and more to be a top level winger.

Anyone know how both Jordan Miller and Tallyn Da Silva are tracking so far?

Haven't watched much junior football this year but these two seemed to be our most promising prospects, pretty curious to how they're going if anyone can fill me in.

Tallyn is really kicking on and playing up, got a start in Flegg and scored a try on debut. I think he'll get a taste next year. Looks a genuine star in the making.

Miller seems more of a slow burn, as tends to be the case with props, I think they'll deliberately take their time with him. I wouldn't expect him to see first grade for 3/4 years, considering he's 18 with a lot of growing and maturing to do physically (which is a scary thought).

Schuster has come out and declared he’s going to be the best player in the world. That’s up there with Pascoe calling WT a destination club 🤣😂🤣

Go back to just 2005 after our comp win; the then CEO said we'd be the new Manchester United!
Just marketing, selling their story etc etc.

If we are the entire board management and coaching team should be "hung drawn and quartered".I realise that form of punishment is no longer valid in the modern world but on this occasion it deserves to return because it is the right deterent for such high treason.

Edit: His physical presence out wide alone would be enormous....
We really don't need another Koroibete or JAC situation (Do we?)

the bloke has played one game of NSW Cup. one. he is extremely raw and there is something worth persisting with but to think he is anywhere near NRL level you need your head read, and if you're going to compare him to a grand final winner and tryscorer in Staines then that's even worse.

Ngutlik needs considerable time developing in Cup before we even consider blooding him in first grade. his injury came at a very unfortunate time in his development but thankfully he's still on the books. top 30 would be a pipe dream at this stage.

if there is one position we are short on in the pathways, it is on the wing. he can most definitely fill that void, but it will be sometime before he can be considered for regular first grade. in the meantime, Staines is perfect as our second string fullback and winger. he is proven, Ngutlik is not.
 
I sometimes wonder if some on here have any idea about having a footy squad, some saying on KLEMMER is joffas replacement, no he’s not joffa can play front row , backrow and lock , u need 9-10 forwards and that’s not including ur hooker to get throw a season , and this idea our juniors can carry us is crap , they get run over every week in nsw cup , letting joffa go to those scum bags is a disgrace, UNLESS they bring in a better player , otherwise no wonder the media say we our a basket case

To be fair to the club Joe was extended before we picked up our top line forwards in Klemmer, Bateman and Paps was still undecided. I think it was a smart move because if we didn't get them we had Joe locked in as a capable starter. 600k for a bench forward is OK but these funds could be spent on extending the young guns like Bula, tupou etc..

Wow, we could even extend Brookes for another 5 more years!
