[Guest]

Hence why he will not be in FG at the Tigers next year.

lol i remember when everyone wanted bronson gone too how that work out guys :unamused:

sheens doesnt know how to use hes juniors he just wants to play them all over the park
remember when sheens first got here he said he wouldnt play players out of postion than after 2006 he kept doing it ,no wonder are juniors always turn out awful
they never have the chance to grow in the one postion

What like Farah, Heighno, Lawry and Benji….

Geez why is it so hard to understand some players need to change clubs to realise their potential.......

Bronson worked out great for Bronson was Sheens wrong to stand in his way....... giving a junior a chance to shine .....rather than keep stuffing him up here....

Just be happy for Taps and Halatau when he's carving up over at Souths...

I agree. Anyone remember Scott Prince?

But we have the depth to cover Halatau. We didnt have the depth to cover Prince. I wouldnt be sad at seeing Halatau go.

Worked out well if you ask me. Still a lazy defender and adds nothing to a team in a tough game.

Some player need to change clubs to get their potential back

1) Hodgson was a reserve grader in 2003 at Eels for alot of games.

2) Same with Richards (but injuries didnt help)

3) Galea never got a chance at Eels.

And I am preety certain all 3 players above made huge additions to grand final day.

Iam afraid Dene is a bit of a "one trick ponny", the darts out of dummy half being his strong suit. I would never doubt his ticker and a great club man but I just doubt he has the allround skills we need for the balance of our team.

In a team with a very strong forward pack he could be a good impact player just making those darts at the back end of games and can see why a team like souths could be interested. Never like to see any club man walk but if it happens lets hope it works out for him like Bronson has with the raiders

Watch him work in perfectly as Wing's replacement with Isaac Luke. Will be an awesome addition to the Rabbits.

I think you will see Deano playing in blue and white next year

I think you will see Deano playing in blue and white next year

Hahaha what a great combo that will be, Ennis and Halatau working in tandem together, there's sure going to be a lot of missed tackles and bad reads in defence. And also some killed overlaps to starve Morris and Idris of the ball, sounds great to me :smiley:

do you know something that we don't, or just have a hunch :question:

I taped the Canberra V Tigers Toyota Cup game and I thought that only the 5/8 Lui (spelling?) seemed like he could make the immediate step up and even then I would be nervous on his debut!

As for Corby the hooker I think he would be a couple of years away from matching the quality of Dene Halatau! Maybe a solid built half-back from Premier League could adjust to hooker and I also thought the 1/2 back in Toyota Cup went ok. Unfortunately living up north does not allow me to see the Toyota Cup talent week in and week out like a number on this forum.

There is no comparison between the quality & standards of the NRL and Toyota Cup! Who could currently step up and play NRL, would only Simon Dwyer & Robert Lui replace current top 25 players in the Wests Tigers Squad?

My point is are we discarding Halatau because of his asking price or are we not going to re-sign him because he is not good enough?

Maybe I have not been looking at the same games, but his poor tackling and lack of go-forward (different to 2005) make me think he needs a change.

Halatau is a terrible hooker anyway. His service is slow.

 

[AndTheKungFoSing]

…. From Big League..

Welcome Return
>
In-form Wests Tigers are on the verge of re-signing Dene Halatau, one of their heroes from 2005\. Halatau is in discussion with the club but he says nothing has been finalised. "I haven't signed a thing yet. My manager has been talks with the club and we are trying to get a deal sorted outbut he'll tell me when I'm close", Halatau tells us.

WHY OHHH WHHHHHHYYYYY

 

[Ghostdogg]

give me strength..

With Morris gone next year, and no experienced back-up hooker on the books, having Halatau as the #14 each week has some appeal.

Tigers are going to have some serious depth across the board next season if a few of these U20's step up.

TaIf Taumata is not in the 13 he could be the 14,if not Fulton if he is here,we don't need Halatau,his form has been poor for 3 years now. 😢

 

[Chadman_s_Ghost]

Fulton & Taumata have never played hooker have they?

If Farah got hurt in game 1- wouldn't you want someone that has played 1st grade hooker to step in?
