Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[ElleryHanley]

Matt Betsy appointed interim Head of Football

Surely that is not the rumored "signing"?

This is my thinking too. I would really like him to work out but the way he plays I think he needs to be fully fit. He does seem like a much harder worker on and off the field than Leilua and Jet though. Does anyone in the know have any idea what the process for a medical for a potential signing looks like at a club?

At Wests Tigers, if you've got a pulse, you're in.

I think Olam, or Ollie, because Tito is down with him, has a point to prove.

To the haters, tell me a back we have (not Bula) who is better than him?

I’m hearing crickets.

Blore has little chicken legs and is overrated. When I watch him I’m not underwhelmed or overwhelmed, I just feel whelmed. I didn’t even know you could be until I watched him play.

I’d given Melbourne Noffa too. Just because he is shit.

Arriba 🙌🙌

Kepaoa can't play but I'd be very surprised if he's only 89kgs.

He looked like an absolute beast at the start of the season.

Probably the best available for 24 though.

I reckon this is true but he is also on good dollars on a longer term contract at Melbourne.

 

[TillLindemann]

Surely that's not the signing you were referring to @TillLindemann ...

It's a very important announcement, Betsey is crucial to our success

St pats, burwood concord 🐺

Doehi attended the same school.

Maybe but it's not the news that any fans care about. We want new and better players.

Lets organise for you to run it straight at Blore. Let’s see who has the little chicken legs then 🤣

I won't dispute that.

Nevertheless, if this was what you were alluding to, 'underwhelming' wouldn't be strong enough to describe this announcement.

Signings announcement later today

How late…it’s 3:15pm

You know the saying 'look like Tarzan, play like Jane'!

I don't get why some people continue to rip into Blore. He's only 23, he's a big mobile body he will get better as he matures.

Swap Nofa for Olam, and put Reilly on the wing if Staines is out. Reilly played wing for the Tahs and did well.

Simples.

 

[TillLindemann]

Sorry I let the team down again 🙁

I'm a disgrace

Just give it another 48 hours. Then repeat the process.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

If we do get Olam I hope it’s a 2 year deal (2024-2025) with a CO for 2025… anything longer and we could get burnt… I sorta agree he is burnt out

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Oh, ok, why doesn't he want to stay at least repay tigers finish your contract, had a year off cause of knee surgery???

He is happy to play for the WT till his current contract runs out end of 2024…. He wants to sign for Storm 2025+

For that to work the Storm would need to want Nofoaluma.
Storm are stacked with backs, wingers especially. They don't want another. It is one of the reasons they are happy to let Olam go. They need forwards.
I dont want to lose Blore. I think we will ultimately prove to be the big losers if the trade goes ahead but throwing out suggestions such as Nofoaluma is living in a fantasy land.

If this were the case what is stopping him signing with them already?

Not at all mate and I think you've misinterpreted my response.

Any mail is good mail, it was more a commentary on the current state of player-movement limbo we're all in and nothing to do with the messenger at all.
