Addo Carr signs with Storm...

[Born_tiger]

According to the Mole…" The WT have refused him (JAC) a release at the last minute.
He will remain with us till the end of 2016."

Ive just had a look at his teitter account, where does it say this?

Yeah same here ??

 

[teddy23]

JAC is a player which I rate when we first signed him I was stoked cause I watched him carefully at Sharks 20s after he played the Tigers last year (playing centre)

But if Koro is interested in coming here and he's asking price is 360K (according to TigerTorch) I'm not sure if I'm the only one but I think that's a bargain with the salary cap raising heaps next year

Only bad thing about the bloke is his defensive reading but if you pair him up with Simona that side would overall defensively be good

Back when he was with us he was inconsistent in the air, but he's a lot better now under Bellamy he's helped him patch that feature of his game

I'm sick of hearing the word potential even tho I like JAC if he's asking for 300k over the next 2 years after only 1 game in NRL level then we may as well go for Koro his only 23

Money shouldn't be a worry if JAC leaves maybe a little help from Triguboff and we should be sweet

Here you go…

The Storm have boosted their injury-plagued backline by signing Eels centre Ryan Morgan – and have also narrowly missed out on Tigers flyer Josh Addo-Carr.

Craig Bellamy has desperately searching for pace out wide following a series of injuries to star outside backs including Billy Slater, Curtis Scott, Will Chambers and Cheyse Blair.

Morgan is a noted tryscorer but hasn’t been able to break into the Eels’ top side this season.

Addo-Carr scored on his NRL debut – ironically against the Storm – a couple of weeks ago but has also struggled to secure a regular top grade spot and was set to join Morgan at the Storm.

But the Tigers refused him a release at the last minute and the speedy winger will remain at Concord til season’s end.

The problem is.. And always has been not using common sense in selections.. JAC is worth keeping especially if his price is 120k then 180k ..

Think about it for 2 years

Josh Addo Carr - 120k/180k
Marika Korribete - 360k/360k

Who is the better value?? Yes Addo Carr is not as good as Korribete but look at the money would be saved in what is a tight salary cap. JAC is one that has been demanding opportunities by tearing it up in the NSW cup..

The thing I was very much impressed with for his NRL debut was his attitude he had a go, yes his hit-ups might not have been as effective as some wingers but I will say it again, HE HAD A GO! His hit-ups more than covered Rankin's sprint, (no faster than my walking speed) hit the line and get absolutely man handled by the opposition.. Yeah people are talking about his goal kicking, but his shocking defenceive reads are costing us more than the below average goal kicking he possesses..

Come on JT use some of that common sense

But how has JAC proven himself defensively BT ??

Hi happy,

All I'm saying is that JAC has much more potential than Jordan Rankin who is playing out of position and JAC defence can't be any worse than Rankin's shut the eyes and hope for the best defenceive reads..

Maybe as a winger but can JAC fill in at 1,6,7 if we get injuries, or kick goals?

Every player has strengths and weakness but it isn't always a straight question of who is better in a single position.

That right there is what is wrong with this club we shouldn't be picking Rankin cause he can also play 1,6,7 we should be picking our best NRL WINGER not someone who can fill in other positions but the goal kicking reason is acceptable

Not sure what's wrong with Moses but he should be goal kicking he was doing it with the 20s and he was alright

Rankin played well last week but he's not a winger….

[jirskyr]

"JAC will stay at Concord until season's end", doesn't say anything conclusive about 2017 onwards.

 

[Pawsandclaws]

The Addo Carr issue is a repeat of Korobeite's departure to Melbourne. Two Weststigers coaches, both former players renowned for being stodgy types and both lacking in flair. One could reasonably make the argument both Potter and Taylor are not the coaches to get the best out of these types of players. No coincidence in my mind that Koro played really good football for Todd Payten, a player renowned both on and off the field for being intelligent.

 

[Newtown]

He has a contract with Wests Tigers which he must honour until the end of this season. He has only played one game in first grade is a young relatively young player and has until the end of the season to prove that he is worthy of an uprated contract. Wests Tigers have learnt from the Brooks/Moses huge contract failure and won't fall into that trap again.

Moses has been hopeless with his goal kicking this year, Rankin strikes the ball much more consistently. And every club picks players around whats best for the team, especially with the new concussion laws you need to be able to cover all positions. There are players who have made careers out of being utilities.

It's almost gotten to the stage i want JAC picked just so everyone can stop talking about him as if we will win every week once he plays.

Yeah good point Bones :laughing:

Pick him and then people can get all their wishes come through

I still remember people arguing about Koroibete , and me pointing out twice he was actually defending from his actual in goal area v the Saints in that Rd 1 game

But hey , he's fast , that's just so important

Only time being fast can be important sometimes is that you get to the showers first :brick:

What was that guy that played with parramatta in the 90's that had speed to burn?? Was it Lee Odenryn not sure if I spelt it correctly… He was a flop if I recall, speed doesn't equal success. Or Darren Clarke for the Tigers hahaha

 

[greatodensraven]

Two points, I hope JAC is patient & that the Tigers give him every opportunity to develop into a quality 1st grade winger.

He has speed to burn which we need, but also seems to be a bit of a footy player which is more than we can say about Koro. But the best thing I like about JAC is his attitude. Thought he was soenthusiastic v the storm & just wanted to do his best. That & his speed is something you can't teach which is why I think we should persist with him. Definitely needs a good off-season in the gym though to pack on some muscle, Koro-style. Let's hope we re-sign him.

JAC isn't looking at $600k a season to stay, $300k over 2 seasons, $120k then $180k, not the same thing.

Irvine, the fastest of them all. Check out his try tally. For a winger, speed is everything.
