How about looking at Isaiah Tass from South Sydney for our centres .. ?? He could be forced out of the Rabbitohs backline now that they have to fit Jack Wighton inot their side. He goes alright and wouldn't be as expensive as some of the others we have been associated with in the papers by the so called League experts .. !!

great player and would love him at WT. there has been whispers Wighton could play in the back row tho, so he may be kept at Souths. i doubt Tass’ future gets resolved in the next few months.

1.Anthony Xuereb - never played for WT
2.Lipini Kaufusi - equal to AJ (better try scoring records, bigger and faster, equally poor defence+hands)
3.Lee Murphy - no worse no better
4.Peni Tagive - no worse no better
5. Jordan Rankin - a much better player than AJ

1.Garth Wood - never played for WT
2.Hassan Saleh - equal to AJ, better try scoring record.
3.Mahe Fonua - seriously? wtf thats just stupid
4. Nick Bradley - again has a far superior record than AJ, definitely not worse.
5. Robert Jennings - limited player, probable equal to AJ

1.Shannon McDonnell - limited player who still had a solid career. AJ still has to beat him, but has time on his hands
2.Ahmad Bajouri - i'll give you this one
3.Justin Yeo - never played for WT
4.Asa Milford - never played for WT
5.Ian Herron - never played for WT

i think you're taking a laugh here.


for a player who's had so many opportunities he just hasn't improved from where he was when he joined us. to me he can play the first half of the season in nsw cup as a second rower. Only move him up if we're absolutely devestated with injuries in the back row. otherwise give him time to learn the new position. If he's doing well and dominating then maybe he gets a run off the bench. If not, straight to the UK for him.

So now your changing the narrative? You said 5 games, now you talk about how many opportunities he has had. Which is it? I think you saw my list and realised AJ is no nowhere near our worst ever team, which is what the debate was. Being part of our current starting backline isn't the question here which you just tried to switch it to.

It's simple, AJ did not prove to be an NRL standard outside back last year, that I agree with. He did prove to show a glimpse of something as a backrower. And he has certainly proved to be better then all the players I listed, which elimates him from our worst ever team, which you and Tom claim he is a walk up start to.

You are off your tree. I clearly stated at the start Balmain, Magpies and Wests Tigers. Read first mate
 
So AFB is looking to tour our facilities as well as Dogs and Dragons over the Xmas break.. What I find strange is apparently we are going to table him an offer and might be this week but clearly something doesn't add up as you would wait until he tours before offering a deal I would think.

He’d just be trying to get as much money as possible.

How can we afford AFB and Luai?
 
I don’t mind Fulton, he can clearly find talented players if he found guys like Koula and Fainu’s but he can’t be given credit for finding Haumole
 
Not sure how long Pole is locked in for but if it was me it would be for at least 4 years , he is going to be an absolute gun , lock him up big time , seems to be really enjoying footy , that’s when we should strike up a solid contract , not sure his worth in dollars but would love to hear what other think if he was ready to sign a deal for 3 or 4 years , me I’m in at $ 550 x 2 years then $ 600 , then $ 700 k.

Well given we don’t have a million dollar player I don’t see how we can’t afford both. We have 25 spots filled in our 30 for 25 but not one of them will be on a million dollars or more. Obviously if we sign Luai he’ll be the only one who is but we would still have decent coin to offer AFB.

Plans change. Glad we will put in an offer and not wait. Shows we are dead serious and keen

I would definitely question it. Momo is the more well rounded or technical footy player but Kepaoa is the better athlete. That matters a lot in today's game. I'd prefer Kepaoa in our squad compared to Momo. Momo isn't a first grader. Kepaoa is a borderline first grader.

You’d rather a crappy player bcoz he looks like an athlete than a more well rounded or technical player bcoz he’s not as athletic looking?

Been said plenty here over the last while....
The Hooker / Utility Should be one player!!
Leaves us room for more impact - In size or speed (I don't care - Just something)

Felt like we wasted a spot most of last season...
As much as think he's a mid level Player, We should have hung onto Nu Brown...
He'd have filled the role of Simpkin and AJ on the Bench - in one player
And done a better job than them both
(As well as covered in the halves or at lock)

yes agree - sorry meant to communicate that in my original message. With Api able to play halves though, feel you could just have a straight hooker such as Da SIlva or Simpkin and be fine in case of injury.

Thinking something like...

14. Twal
15. Seyfarth or S. Fainu
16. Da Silva
17. Kepoa

I can’t believe he is allowed to stay hear for so long , all players are back training with there clubs , seems weird he can stay longer much longer
