OFFICIAL Starford To’a #253

[Sco77y]

I can see him turning into a villain again once he gets re-signed. One of those players supporters turn on very quickly.

He’s one who took a while to develop after a somewhat shaky start. I think supporters will be tentative on him until he puts in a solid year or two. He’s only really come into his own this season.

 

[Charred]

I’m confused, someone said he wrote “All rumours 👍 ✌️” on his Insta (don’t have Insta so dunno). Does this not mean “All rumours are correct, peace” or something? Not sure why everyone thinks it’s the other way or am I missing something?

 

[clontarfkid]

Certainly not based on his form from last year - or the year before.
He's got some highlights this year for sure... But not all of his games have been great.

WTs are not in a position to wait see.particularly with new clubs coming
Weve missed May..possibly not an awful outcome..so the alternative is re signing someone like Naden..!
Weve seen what Toahas to offer when healthy,and its pretty good
Hes currently one of the form centres in the competition actually
Need to take a punt on him

Yeah - We've taken a punt on him (He's been here 4 years)
Apart from 1 other game, We're talking about him just now.
He has potential (Still) also has a poor game in him, I don't mind re-signing him at all...
But the wrist slitting fear here is a bit extreme.

 

[Bellend]

2 year contract with a club option at the end of it. Solid first grade player but nothing really special and only been consistent this season.

We have indeed invested heavily in him..but no-one is "slitting wrists"or whatever ...just making an objective decision based on where we are TODAY vs our options,and our strong preference shld be to keep him (I hope)

Pascoe would have signed this bloke on 700 off two months form where he is still looking lame some weeks.

This is where Richo earns his crust, you offer him a fair value and he takes it or leaves it.

All things considered ,his fair value to WTs is not too far south of that.
If he "leaves it"as you suggest as a possibility.our alternatives are Douhi..Naden..???
Only midfield attacking talent we have
And yes,,,its been short lived..but as said earlier were not in a position to be overly choosy atm

I get nervous when these players suddenly catch fire in the last yr of their contract.

He has another year.

Part of turning the club around is no doubt not acting desperately anymore. That probably means sometimes you take one step back to move two forward.

He has always shown signs - I really don't think this year is any different.

He is still rocks and diamonds, just more diamonds so far this season.

Definitely a keeper. Benji has always backed him, so hopefully his extension is just a matter of time.

The Instagram story was very strange and unnecessary. The average fan won't be paying Star any attention - there is zero conjecture around his his extension outside of this forum, and the rumours barely made any news, until Mole visited the forums.

Yeah but based on his form this year we know he’s got it in him. It’s all on the coach to get the best out of him week in and week out

Some of the tries he has scored this year are absolutely freakish and we don’t have many players with the same tackle breaking ability

I might be wrong but I don’t think he got his hands on the ball in the last two sets v NQ. I just don’t see him going after games. Given early ball he can create something but that’s a fairly limited arsenal he’s offering up. I’d sign him, but not on silly money.

That's the fault of the halves not toa

The best centres don’t just stand out wide and wait for it, I just don’t have him in elite company at this stage.

Those last 2 sets were awful from the entire team considering how much we were throwing it around prior

Being a tigers player in negotiations, he’d be worth more than a few media articles though

Yeah from memory it was a Naden hit up wrecked the first one. And they nailed a great kick to put us on the back foot in the last minute.

 

[tylermax]

He only played 3 games last year and also missed the start of this year through injury.
I think he is now showing the talent he has and why we signed him in the first place.
We need to upgrade and sign him long term
