Addo Carr signs with Storm...

[tigermac88]

Here's a question… If any of you were in charge of recruitment what would be the last position you would fill in the side?

It would depend on the teams strengths and weaknesses TM88

Did anyone actually watch JAC's game ??

Ok , he has speed but 95% of the time he got absolutely dominated when he touched the ball

He needs at least another 12 months development and a big pre season in the gym

The one thing we can't keep relying on is potential , we need blokes NOW with experience and hard headed mindsets

Im doubting if u watched it Happy. Josh was strong with every carry. Its what surprised me most about his debut. Not sure when he got dominated.

Every time he took a hit up be got picked up and dominated KS , no quick play the balls , rarely landed face down , cmon mate , it was the first thing I noticed

You realize we are talking about JAC not Josh Aloiai

You old blokes just don't remember anything anymore :wink:

Disagree. He was physically strong.

Sorry I meant if you were starting from scratch

Maybe the club is going to make a play for a top line centre ..Simona is a winger so there is the winger problem solved , JAC might want a 3 year deal the club has no one signed past 2017 so something is on the horizon ,good luck to him .

 

[Sabre]

He may be 'just' a winger, but how many wingers do we have contracted for next season? Nofo.

Anyone else? Nope. Rankin as a makeshift but he's better suited elsewhere. Hunt? Is he a winger or a fullback? Is he any more than a rserve grade player?

Fact is we need 2 wingers for next season and currently only have one. We will need to pay this 2nd winger something, so whatever we are planning to pay him we might as well give to JAC.

As i said before, in a team full of solid but unspectacular players you need some match winners. He could be one of ours, along with Teddy, and to lose him over 120k would be ridiculous. If the Storm were paying him 250k then that's a lot more money but 120 is only a bit above minimum wage…

No use having wingers if you don't have centres to create chances for them

Same can be said the other way around.
No good having centres if you don't have a quality winger outside him.

We have some wingers Sabre , problem is they are playing in the centres :laughing:

I wonder how many times Naiqama/Simona/Nofa will be moved between centre and wing throughout their careers :laughing:

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

Simona was on the wing in Sheens era :bash
Sheens obviously marked opinions of huge number of fans on this forum, however, Simona played center all of his U20's cerrier and is simply too good player to be wasted on the wing :bash

 

[DonnyBrasco]

The one player in the club that had some actual speed…

 

[marzie]

Is this confirmed?

Is this confirmed?

No…but that doesn't stop anyone..

I'm with Happy on this one. I would like to keep JAC, but hit ups aren't his strength. He was manhandled at times. Averaged about 6 metres per run.

Storm offered 250K a year for Curtis Scott to get the kid from Cronulla with no first grade experience this year the kid did not want to leave but could not say no to the money so I think if they did make an offer for JAC it would be good coin for him he's a young guy has dreams that need money if they offer alot more good luck to him Melbourne's house prices are cheaper then Sydney

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

Why do people go off half-cocked before anything official has even been announced?

In My first post in this thread I said "if this is true",

I ,for one, have no idea if is or not.
But what it does do is focus the fact that as far as I've seen we don't have much as far as wingers apart from Nofa
I was assuming that Simona will be stuck in the centres again.i would agree with Happy that Simona is our best winger( I think that's what he was saying

That's actually incorrect regarding Scott, I'm mates with the bloke apparently we approached him but our offer was laughable compared to the other clubs, he was getting offered more to stay at Cronulla but decided to go Storm with guaranteed playing time and an experienced team around him….

JAC would be a loss I think, he shows heart, he puts his body on the line, he takes multiple hit ups (even though he gets man handled haha) and he's got pace something we need at the Tigers we've lacked that pace for a while now.... and if rumours are true we'll be throwing it away again!

But if Melbourne are offering big money we shouldn't invest heavily in a player who's only played a game of first grade let him go if he's asking for to much

I was told that by one of the Storms physio and also told the cronulla offer was very low….cool

But good luck to JAC

Im pretty sure that is not correct in regards to Curtis Scott.

Im led to believe that Melbourne offer good cash (but not $250K which is amazing money) and Cronulla were in a similar ball park, maybe even possibly more, and Scott went down on the promise of opportunity of first grade early.

Surprised me, a break away from the Storms early days recruitment which was essentially offer more than anybody else. I figured he must have been lured with big money, but apparently not the case.

I have no knowledge at all on what they would off JAC, but Id guess it would be around the league minimum based on where he is at.

Sorry, Ive doubled up on your post, I heard similar info, and you've got it from the horses mouth, better again.

No worries mate

 

[Pawsandclaws]

The fact Bellamy wants him is enough to suggest he should be kept.
