Departing players

[pawsandclaws1]

I know many will disagree but for me Matt Moylan is a better fullback than anything we have at the moment.
From reports Cronulla is willing to offload with +50% freight included. If we could organise a Mbye trade we could offer 2 year deal. I would take a risk .......
Anyway my thoughts for next year and beyond

Moses Mbye (Matt Moylan who covers quite a few backline positions would be my pick if we can get a trade deal)
Josh Aldo Carr
Adam Doueihi
Joseph Leilua (Kotoni Stagg should be the player we go after as 2021 replacement)
DescriptionDescription(Kotoni Stagg should be replacement at end of next season)
David Nofoaluma
Josh Reynolds (Matt Burton if we can offload Reynolds OR not ..... we should go all out for this guy .... future is as a ball playing lock forward)
Luke Brooks
James Tamou (c)
Jason Liddle (Harry Grant If Smith plays on for one more year and retireS when Bellamy leaves)
Zane Musgrove
Sam McIntyre
Luciano Leilua
Shawn Blore

Josh Aloiai
Russell Packer (Jack Hetherington (if we can offload Packer)
Thomas Mikaele
Alex Twal
Stefano Utoikamanu
Jake Simpkin
Luke Garner (Bunty Afoa from Warriors would be good replacement if Garner leaves)
Michael Chee Kam (Tukimihia Simpkins from Cowboys is an upgrade if we can move MCK)
Tommy Talau
Jock Madden
Asu Kepaoa
Billy Walters
Paul Momirovski
Zac Cini
Kane Bradley
William Kei
One available spot ???

Development Contract
Reece Hoffman

You’re are right, I disagreed, Moylan is very overrated and not worth anywhere near what he is getting. Also injury prone. Besides he has one of the most punchable faces in the Rugby League

Doesn’t he have a Jim’s lawn mowing franchise?

Mates' rates for cutting grass?

On the topic of departing players, it will be interesting to see if Rowdy or Benji can grab a try this week. Both tied as the all time leading ‘Wests Tigers Tryscorers’ 84 tries a piece). Most would think Nofa would surpass them before his career is up (currently on 74) but for someone that loves a little stat and has been following the race between the two for a couple years now, I am intrigued to see how it all pans out.

FWIW Benji has 2 for the year and Rowdy none but being their last game you just don’t know

I see the Dogs have come out and advised the players leaving so wonder if we will do the same?
It would be good to get a clear understanding of player numbers etc..

Maybe they’re not sure yet. The POM said they weren’t sure about Eiso if he would stay or not so it might be that if he’s correct.

Moylan well might be better than Mybe overall but i think when Madge swapped him back to fullback he had his best games for us all year, Gone under the Knife early which is a positive for next season if remains????

We do need some speed at the back although the JAC deal looks like it might not go through, time will tell.

Tamou Captain interesting choice as Captain like his positive statement about our young forwards and rates our pack.
Certainly would not have Mybe captain next season.

Looking at the list until we rectify the over paid non performing players we won't be a top 8 team, will be surprised if we play finals in 2021 although will support with interest and see if a few key players step up like Brooks after Benji, 2022 we should however if we purchase smarter and retain younger players that want to play for the club.

I can see so much upside with AJ as others have articulated. BJ a seasoned player is where I hold concerns about. Sticky obviously saw him as weak link at the Raiders and now he is our problem to solve.

He's 28? Move him on to the UK. I'd rather see Kepaoa at right centre making rookie mistakes than Leilua making the same dumb mistakes he has made all his career.


Do you think it is really that simple as punching a TRADE Rage button..simply move a player with a young family to an environment the UK in Covid times where even extra cash which use to be an incentive no longer exists..

Leilua was also a Maguire signing ..brought specifically by Maguire to strengthen a weakness on decent coin..not in the not his team category..

Don't remember many qualms about BJ's signing at the time.

He needs more ball for us to get something out of him. A couple of games he went looking for it and made some great carries. Obviously defensively he has struggled.

We thought he would value add with his brother here as well and on his day can be destructive.
Has had a few ordinary games this season not to mention his 4 weeks suspension, glad he was dropped for last game of the season so he can reflect that maybe he might struggle in 2021 to retain his position, might end up being a good thing for him?

why did they spell Michael Chee-Kam as "Harry Grant"

 

[Tigerlily]

Offical WTs players leaving or have left already 2020.

Eiso is a surprise for mine, really thought he was a keeper. Very good squad player.

He was a good plodder...
I’m disappointed as well .
Hope this Stefano kid is good ..

 

[hugggarz]

Seyfarth retained but Eiso gone seems strange to me, but Matt made a name for himself this year so I would be surprised if he hasn't landed a contract somewhere.

Good to see they released a list of players.
Eiso maybe a tad unlucky not to retain a position but if your going to do a clean out might as well do it correctly.

Big $ players not performing still here however.
