Esan Marsters Commits to Wests Tigers

[underdog]

Wow, seems to also possess a silky set of hands as well.

Seems like a great signing to me.

Bring in Liddle, and Marsters over the next 12-24 months to combine with tedesco, brooks, moses, and keep players like taylor, nofoaluma, simona, woods.

Seems exciting to me. :slight_smile:

Not a good comparison. Esan is taller and 10kg heavier than Alex Glenn.
Having said that, if he turns out as good as Glenn we are on a winner

Taller? I doubt that. Esan is not tall, if he's taller than Glenn is only marginal. Dont care what stats may say, they are oftem wrong for some weird reason. Marsters is a short and stocky type backrower.

Stocky, maybe. Short he is not. I'm over 6 foot and he is about as tall as me.

A ball playing second rower with a step and some pace just what we need. Watch out Lawrence since you are now a playing member of the Legends Club your days could be numbered with blokes like this in the wings.

Very happy with this re-signing, Marsters is a very good backrower in the making, good footwork and runs good lines. Very keen to see how he goes next year and beyond.

I thought I had read previously somewhere that he had already re-signed, maybe stated that he had committed to the Tigers. Anyhow a good prospect, hopefully he now has a blinder tomorrow evening!!

Last time he was mentioned on the forum I thought he was being linked to the $harks.

fair call

Our clubs current form may suggest that about Lawrence, but I think he will be good for the club as young players like Esan come up. Doesn't he have a degree in sports science and he is a levelheaded guy.

I think Lawrence will also be better getting the occasional breather.

He's got centre written all over him and would be wasted in the back row

Was thinking the same thing . Looks like he has speed & he's a similar size to Leilua & Hurrell .

Must be some very tall boys in that under 20's team then cos he certainly doesnt tower above anyone at all.

I see a lot of Josh Papalii in him. I also note, though he has quick feet, he's stepping through NYC defence and not grade-level. I still think he looks like an attacking backrower.

I haven't watched him extensively in NYC, but how is he defensively?

Has on several occasions filled in at centre so it is not out of the question.

All the more reason he should be in our top 25.

He's not a centre. He's not quick enough, unless he works on his sprints in the off season and improves a lot. Lovett has more experience playing in the centres than he does.

He's a highlight reel kind of player. Makes breaks, scores tries. Still has a lot of work to do when it comes to simply hitting the ball up hard and making his tackles.

But he certainly has the x-factor in attack. Nice footwork, a strong fend and runs good lines. But then so did Liolevave. He did score 14 tries off the bench last year in NYC i think and another 10 this year.

Will be good to see how he develops. Not a huge forward by any means. Quite nuggety.

Me too. Stick him in the centres and he can be blooded asap.

Very glad to see him stay with us.Every time i have watched him play i have been impressed by his performance

You are contradicting yourself. He is a centre in the making !
