Anyone else feel like we should get Cade cust

Good 14 as he’s a very useful back up 9, plays well in the halves and can fill in at 13 to add another playmaking option.

Today is a great day for WT, Sheens and co have been in the process of removing all the dead wood going forward and today our two biggest flops have been removed 🤙🤙

Really, I can pick a few in front of them , AD , seyfarth , wakeham , so it’s confirmed that brooks and tommy are going but I don’t see any confirmed signings , maybe things go south for us and we get no one likely every other time

I’ll be happy to start seeing us recruit some players with potential.

Yep a Wakeham-Laurie/Cogger/Madden halves partnership really gets me going for next year! Onwards and upwards - so much to look forward to.

With those combs we my as well put us down for another wooden spoon

Only one ?

Reading through the Manly forum, never realised how much most of them truly dislike Aloiai. Always thought he was going good for them but turns out he's not very well regarded amongst supporters

Even opposition fans recognise an A-Grade Douchebag when they see one.

His younger than Cogger

With the impending recruitment of 18yo Latu Fainu (a running & ball-playing 5/8), everything is pointing towards us recruiting a game-managing & experienced halfback as our main field kicker.

I would be 99% confident that Benji will want someone (for at least 2 seasons) who can provide experience & direction along with Api to a young spine.

So with a shortage of halves on the market or likely to be released, I would not be surprised now if it's one of these two:

- Jack Cogger (I can see the club trumpeting the Cogger family links to the Magpies)
- Jake Clifford

Now some will criticise Jake & rightly so but if the club does it's due diligence into his mental space, he could come into strong calculations. He is mid 20s, has NRL experience, can direct a team around the park, huge kicking game, goal kicker & read Hull fans' comments on him, they reckon he is the best halfback in SL atm & the best ever for Hull. Maybe Sheens & Benji feel they can get the best out of him with Api.

I would have added Lachlan Lam but I don't think he is the game-managing type we are likely after but I am probably wrong.

I know he generally doesn’t play 7 but before des went to titans I would be ok with Foran as a experienced half

Good call. Maybe with the Scott Fulton links, he could be an option to be our #14 on the bench especially if Jake Simpkin is released.

What is his long kicking game like?

You could sign Cameron Munster. Wests Tigers will be Wests Tigers. He would quickly become comfortable in the system that Wests Tigers are. No belief. Bottom dwellers. Sustainability in mediocrity. Hasler is taken, Flanagan is taken, Webster they ditched, Payton they ditched. Whereas a good coach realises your potential aka Melbourne, Dolphins, Broncos etc........ However there is always a silver lining in all things in life...... playing for Wests Tigers gives you 2 great opportunities. 1. Good junior football program and 2. When you make the big time at Wests Tigers - you are on show for the bigger teams in the competition to graduate to.
And an observation from yesterday - Kevin Walters on Ben Hunt after Broncos loss - why would he come to us after that performance?
Damning! Where does that leave Wests Tigers.

What does it matter? Apart from a couple of flukey 40/20s we haven’t had a long kicking game for 11years.

I'd rather Tulsen Tollett

Manly scum

 

[carltonleach]

Hoping to hear/read something offical with talau and fainu soon. We as supporters need something positive

 

[Tucker]

Centres aren’t what they used to be. Manu won the golden boot playing fullback for NZ and is continually being shifted to get closer to the action.

GI and Trell had to move positions to have more of an impact on the game.

All three of those guys were at their most destructive in the centres.
We need to stop using it as a dumping ground and put specialists in there.

Spacecub - pages ago you said you are from Taree
