DWZ to arrive ASAP

[WT2K]

@WT2K If DWZ plays centre then Wests tigers centre pairing has just improved 100%.

Agree. Obviously I have no idea what Madge is thinking but maybe something like this in the coming rounds

Mbye
Jennings/Nofo/Fonua
DWZ
Marsters
Thompson

Fingers crossed he's better than Jennings.

 

[weststigers]

an interesting one in this article was:

“I don’t think I am breaking news that Russell Packer has got issues at the Tigers and Ben Matulino they are trying to offload and also Elijah Taylor."

Looks like Madge wants Mats gone as well.

If we can free up Mats, Packer and Taylor, then throw in Reynolds, Marshall and Maybe Farah (although Farah plays well above his contract value), we might have a few dollars to throw around next year!

Jennings is good.... on certain occasions

like being 3m away from the opponents goal line..... but he is good 2 times out of 10......

so yeah DWZ is better

Fingers crossed his knees aren't buggered

Jennings has actually been getting better. I still have *some* hope that he'll turn into a decent signing.

 

[balmain boy]

Can he actually play center though? How much has he even played there? I've mostly seen him as a winger/fullback.

 

[WT2K]

@avocadoontoast better wing than he is a centre

He's not going to get rid of them all. 2 at most. And seeing as how Mats hasn't been dropped at all and the other two have, id say he's the least likely.

 

[weststigers]

@GNR4LIFE you don't reckon there's a chance at the end of the season?

 

[WT2K]

Only two games this year. None last season. Not sure before that.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Like it or not, the club will have to ride a lot of these long term contracts. Unless we can find circumstances like this where we can trade them.

Can't say I'm thrilled at the prospect of signing DWZ. He's another Mbye. Has never really cemented himself in a certain position, Has forum whipping boy written all over him.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

@GNR4LIFE LOL Isn’t everyone?

 

[DALLAS68]

Move Reynolds to the Panthers and packer as well. then Mybe to 5/8 and DWZ to fullback.

 

[avocadoontoast]

@DALLAS68 Offloading Packer is hard enough, offloading Reynolds would be near impossible.

 

[upthetigers]

Wouldn't it be funny if that Weasel isn't interested in a player swap considering he signed them in the first place.

 

[Matto]

Who's the swap with if any?

 

[AL The Tiger]

Tell me that we would be signing DWZ last year and I would be absolutely thrilled.

This year, however, I can't unsee the bad form he's been in. That collision with Dylan Edwards while they were both trying to catch the ball is an absolute joke.

 

[hodgo]

I find it funny how people think we have backs better then dwz. Take his last few years as a sample size and hes will be our best back other then marsters.

 

[avocadoontoast]

@hodgo Agree, but I would also say that his form over the past few years would be every bit as good as Marsters, perhaps even better.
