[Elderslie_Tiger]

As for Momi ...he was no Steve Rodgers .....but any bloke who is prepared to put his own career plans on hold to help a club he was only at for one year ......is the type of bloke you want in the trenches with you


I keep reading this version that Momers went to Melbourne in some Mother Theresa-like altruistic gesture. Its probably more likely that he wanted to go down there, opportunity for first grade, training under Bellamy etc etc.

Agree 100%. He had the opportunity to go down to a club that was a premiership threat (and eventual winners) and be coached by Bellamy and play with some of the best players in the comp.

Harry Grant was the one that actually had to sacrifice more, as I have no doubt he would have forced his way into first grade and got himself a premiership ring.

I think you got things wrong mate,and not criticising you ,but Momo had a contract with us,could have said no to up and leaving for 1 year but seen the benefits for himself,the club and Harry..
If your honest with yourself,Harry would not have seen fg being behind C,Smith and B Smith,he would have been lucky to see a game because there was no CC...
The move benefitted both players and both clubs,in my opinion Bellamy and Madge were the 2 centre pieces that got the swap done ..Melb needed a centre and WTs needed a hooker...Momo would have played finals last year except for injuries and Harry played state of origin because of Madges coaching and giving Harry an opportunity to show his undeniable talent..
People will have varying opinions but as it stands I think Momo is a quality player that is a suitable NRL player that will do his ultimate best while on the paddock,Harry was able to show how well he can play and has shown that he can make the step up to origin level and perform very,very well...
To be really honest both these guys have shown what they have,although at different ends of the spectrum as far as talent goes as well as different positions they play,the WTs and myself should be proud that both gave the very best to us while here and I wish them both every success in the future...


Yeah not sure they would have kept Harry in reserves last year, they were desperate to keep him so I think they would have played him. All hypothetical though, we’ll never know.

My point is Momo had a lot to gain by going there, definitely not the same sacrifice as Liam Fulton did a few years ago.

Both players have improved due to the loan.

Madge was also upfront with Momo and told him he wouldn't be his first choice centre the opportunity to move in came and he took however in saying that I can only see him in the wing for Pamfers looks like everyone got what they wanted good luck to Momo.

 

[twentyforty]

I can't like this enough :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes:

Recruitment team have done a fantastic job

I’m glad Laurie could join us early but sad to see momo go would have liked to have kept him I’m sure he would have got plenty of game time

Yep, would have been much happier with a Cini-Laurie swap...

Cini is a gun

It seems we have a lot of guns at wt let’s just hope they turn out to be cannons and not pop guns.I prefer a proven nrl standard player

And where do we get them from? It’s not as if we aren’t trying for what’s available.

What you say is correct I guess that says something about how this club is viewed by some players

For sure we need to start winning, or do what the Dogs and others are doing, pay overs, but the club has chosen another path and I am happy to see how it plays out.

I think we have recruited very well this season and still have a few to go.

We tried paying overs and look where it got us?
I prefer the way R&R are now looking for balance and value across the cap. (It has to be a great moral booster too.)
How do you know the dogs aren’t making the same mistake? If the dogs finish above WT I will not only be shocked and amazed but will eat humble pie.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Oops another one bites the dust for the Insideman

I am quite happy to have you here Gun in whatever iteration that is and enjoy your roster insight, though no need to blow your own horn via a proxy.

Isn’t Laurie a cousin of Jimmy the Jet? Maybe I heard that wrong 🤔

Tyrone Roberts - Davis is Jimmy's cousin.

I agree re the posts bagging Mbye being not on. Mbye tries his best, he isn't lazy and doesn't have a poor attitude. He is playing to full potential. He just isn't and never will be a star, Tigers over valued him for sure. He is a jack of all trades master of none, good bench player. Tigers weren't very smart with that signing. Also agree Daine Laurie, hope he comes good but so far isn't really anything. But fingers crossed. At least we have one genuine fullback in the roster now. Just the other day we had no fullbacks in our squad for 2021. Crazy

Agreed and I'd have him in my squad for the right price post his current contract. If another club values him more highly though, good luck to him.

Ha ha ha, sorry mate, but someone will tell you?

 

[The_Patriot]

Welcome son, youve got a long way to go but if you listen to the coaching staff and learn as you go youll be fantastic for this club.

 

[TCL]

Great News. welcome to the club, looking forward to seeing what he has to offer.

I cant believe some of the diatribe on the forum at the moment because we have signed an unproven young gun supposedly going to be a revelation at fb starting from this season and most are bagging the crap out of a player who was paid big money to come to us,has had great form when coming to us,played SOO and can play several positions at any one time..Mbye has carried a groin injury last year and didnt play up to his paycheck,dont forget Tedesco was paid huge money to be with us we nurtured him through bad injuries and he turned his back on us not once but twice until the money was right,,,at the very least Mbye took on the captaincy,was shuffled from fb,to 5/8 to centre and is a utility most clubs would like to have..
Im all for bagging players who dont put in,but Moses has never bagged the club,has taken positional changes on the chin and is there to help the young guys adapt to NRL level football..
I dont care if Mbye gets a gig somewhere else once his contract is up..I will be the first to wish him well...some on here put the future of finals football on someone who someone has an opinion of..when Laurie plays NRL full time for at least 2 years and then becomes a SOO prospect then we can say what we like about other players...he is young and learning,doesnt mean he will be a sensation after a couple of games ,,,remember Brooks and his debut...the next Joey Johns they said...has he played origin or led the west tigers to the semis in the last 9 years,NO.but he has had excuses,and rightly so.Mbye is a seasoned player who has been there done that but cops garbage criticism because of his payckeck...its the NRL most big signings are a punt until they play a fair bit of NRL...yet some on here are raving on about a rookie who hasnt even played 10 NRL games yet....please...be excited for the club,but dont bag the club,coach or recruitment if things dont work out....ITS A BUSINESS....SUCCESS AND PROFIT RULE THE ROOST...always remember that...no matter how much you pay someone or how much time you put into developing a player if they dont succeed at this level there is always someone waiting to fill the void.......cheers God love the WTs and all of you lot....

You can't compare Tedesco and his injuries and Mbye mate

Tedesco was injured Game 1 and what maybe 20-25 games in with the Canberra knee injury ...the 2nd injury was an a million to 1 injury clashing knees at full speed ...think I'd heard it happening at top level once before when it occurred .....but he was on nowhere near the money that Mbye is on at that stage

Ok Hap,what I will say is Tedesco was a junior that the club placed a lot of faith in...he was nurtured and given whatever was needed to get back to NRL standard which the club did,,,in return Tedesco kept looking for a bigger paycheck and a path to playing finals football...it didnt work out that way and instead of sticking with the club he found a way out by taking an offer from the Rorters...NO LOYALTY and loyalty gets you nowhere these days,but he could have considered how much the club had done for him to be able to take that offer..
Mbye was recruited,big money and was fantastic for us at the start..shifted from pillar to post in different positions because of his talent,took on the captaincy,got injured and still speaks highly of the club,helps the young ones to adapt to NRL and was injured last year,so in my opinion everyone bag the crap out of him for doing his best for our club....the main gripe is his paycheck and that wasnt his fault...I respect him for doing everything right while wearing our colours,if someone doesnt like my opinion they can go to hell ,because most on here are fanatical fans that WANT it to go how they want,but dont understand or have an inkling what really goes on in NRL clubs and what it takes to even be at that level of player....
S orry about the rant but as I have said many times before criticise all you want but at least walk a mile in their shoes at this level before belittling them..not saying you have personally Hap,but I think you know what I mean...

Easy to do, of course, confuse Daine with Diane. It's on a par with this Trump, who is a convicted Rapist and Felon loving dude.

I cant believe some of the diatribe on the forum at the moment because we have signed an unproven young gun supposedly going to be a revelation at fb starting from this season and most are bagging the crap out of a player who was paid big money to come to us,has had great form when coming to us,played SOO and can play several positions at any one time..Mbye has carried a groin injury last year and didnt play up to his paycheck,dont forget Tedesco was paid huge money to be with us we nurtured him through bad injuries and he turned his back on us not once but twice until the money was right,,,at the very least Mbye took on the captaincy,was shuffled from fb,to 5/8 to centre and is a utility most clubs would like to have..
Im all for bagging players who dont put in,but Moses has never bagged the club,has taken positional changes on the chin and is there to help the young guys adapt to NRL level football..
I dont care if Mbye gets a gig somewhere else once his contract is up..I will be the first to wish him well...some on here put the future of finals football on someone who someone has an opinion of..when Laurie plays NRL full time for at least 2 years and then becomes a SOO prospect then we can say what we like about other players...he is young and learning,doesnt mean he will be a sensation after a couple of games ,,,remember Brooks and his debut...the next Joey Johns they said...has he played origin or led the west tigers to the semis in the last 9 years,NO.but he has had excuses,and rightly so.Mbye is a seasoned player who has been there done that but cops garbage criticism because of his payckeck...its the NRL most big signings are a punt until they play a fair bit of NRL...yet some on here are raving on about a rookie who hasnt even played 10 NRL games yet....please...be excited for the club,but dont bag the club,coach or recruitment if things dont work out....ITS A BUSINESS....SUCCESS AND PROFIT RULE THE ROOST...always remember that...no matter how much you pay someone or how much time you put into developing a player if they dont succeed at this level there is always someone waiting to fill the void.......cheers God love the WTs and all of you lot....

You can't compare Tedesco and his injuries and Mbye mate

Tedesco was injured Game 1 and what maybe 20-25 games in with the Canberra knee injury ...the 2nd injury was an a million to 1 injury clashing knees at full speed ...think I'd heard it happening at top level once before when it occurred .....but he was on nowhere near the money that Mbye is on at that stage

Ok Hap,what I will say is Tedesco was a junior that the club placed a lot of faith in...he was nurtured and given whatever was needed to get back to NRL standard which the club did,,,in return Tedesco kept looking for a bigger paycheck and a path to playing finals football...it didnt work out that way and instead of sticking with the club he found a way out by taking an offer from the Rorters...NO LOYALTY and loyalty gets you nowhere these days,but he could have considered how much the club had done for him to be able to take that offer..
Mbye was recruited,big money and was fantastic for us at the start..shifted from pillar to post in different positions because of his talent,took on the captaincy,got injured and still speaks highly of the club,helps the young ones to adapt to NRL and was injured last year,so in my opinion everyone bag the crap out of him for doing his best for our club....the main gripe is his paycheck and that wasnt his fault...I respect him for doing everything right while wearing our colours,if someone doesnt like my opinion they can go to hell ,because most on here are fanatical fans that WANT it to go how they want,but dont understand or have an inkling what really goes on in NRL clubs and what it takes to even be at that level of player....
S orry about the rant but as I have said many times before criticise all you want but at least walk a mile in their shoes at this level before belittling them..not saying you have personally Hap,but I think you know what I mean...

A lot to take in ...brain going to explode .....help me

You cant be that senile yet mate.....:grimacing:

LOL another Forum member @jirskyr asked the same question earlier today lol .....but I remembered his name so I can't be senile .....your simple nuts ...so take your assless chaps and your double bike and stop sending me mental ...ok ....lol

CTE?

Don't joke ......take out the massive anger issues some with CTE get and I fit a fair few of the main issues ..and suffered 4-5 concussions in my last season ...3 in about a 5 week period .....last one a fly would have done more damage I was told
