Tigers "Confident" in signing Nofo. Not keen on Mansour. Could be a smoke screen. Like to think its true

That inference with Paps annoys me, they always fail to mention that he was behind Teddy at the time, in hindsight, if they knew what Teddy was going to do, they would have kept Paps for sure?


From what I can understand of the situation, they wouldn’t have had a snowflakes chance in hell of keeping Paps or anyone else. Paps left for the same reason Teddy and JAC did.

Well from what I understand they didn’t think much about paps (and offered him very little) because they had Teddy, why they didn’t realise Teddy didn’t want to be here is beyond me, he already agreed to go to the Raiders till Robbie talked him out of it.

I think the same applied to JAC, they just didn’t rate him.

Our retention and identification was and has been poor for a long time, maybe until they brought Hartigan in. Thankfully the tide seems to be turning.

How could they possibly not rate JAC if they brought him over from Sharks in the first place?

They perhaps didn't prioritise his signature enough or assumed/expected they'd have ongoing negotiation capacity, considering JAC signed with Storm quite early in the season. But also JAC has proven he will do whatever is in his own best financial interests, at a time that suits him - and he is entitled to.

To be honest at that point there weren't many people that rated Paps, Melbourne offered him to every club about 2 years agao and every club said no.

Papenhuyzen was always going to be a star. His loss followed on from that of Koroibete and JAC so there is a pattern of loss of x factor players all while retaining Nofoaluma. Diabolical retention decisions. Fortunately, our new team appear to have turned this around.

Can you show where you said that at the time he left?

They let him go?

They let him go?

You are just being a troll. "Let him go" means a club declined to (a) make or (b) match an offer.

Tigers didnt get to make JAC an offer, he signed with Storm just after his debut. According to reports we advised JAC we were going to nevotiate a deal and he signed with Storm without hearing the deal.

By that logic Tigers didnt rate Tedesco either, despite a million-dollar offer per season.

Don’t know about the troll crap, but the fact he is not here, suggests they really didn’t see his value, poor management.

Again that's a spurious argument. By your logic Easts dont rate Latrell, Souths didnt rate Keary, Titans dont rate Arrow. argument. Tedesco isnt here either.

No logic required mate, they were proven performers, but they weren’t wanted at there clubs, exception was Teddy he didn’t want to be here.

 

[HowDugWT]

It really annoys me. NRL journalism has made NRL very hard from a forum point of view. We had like 400 pages on JAC and then he doesn't come and the whole of the Fox League page is about the Foxx and none of it is true. People like buzz or Hooper report someone is coming and everything breaks lose. Then Hagipantelis says they have never thought about it just showing how desperate they are for a headline. I do like rumours they are exciting but when they are trying to drag down a club or player like have done in the past it is not on.

Yes I do recall posting quite strongly about diabolical retention at the time, highlighting the fact he had come through our system. If you have the inclination to find it, you will.

Diabolical retention. 101. There's a pattern - Koroibete, JAC, Papenhuyzen.

I shouldn't have to find it to prove your point and have no intention to do so. I would just like to see one post from you questioning the club about him leaving from that time. If not I will just continue to believe that you like to rewrite history.

If i remember correctly ,every WTfan at the time could not understand why he hardly got a run in the top grade It was obvious he was good.This is all a carry over from that terrible time.

You are right until stating that retaining Nofo was a bad decision. We should have kept him but we should have kept the other 3 for at least a while longer.

I always thought we had to keep Koro and JAC at the time. I think other people who were supporters were frustrated when these guys were let go. I can't remember many if any supporters rating Paps. Tedesco was just a flog.

We've made some mistakes with hindsight. I think some of those really poor decisions were when Taylor was here but it was also a difficult time. Cleary came in and it looked like he was improving the situation but he made it considerably worse.

To me Taylor was an abject failure but Cleary was heaps worse.
