OFFICIAL Esan Marsters [Discussion]

[Bones]

If I’ve learned 1 thing over the last 10 years it’s just because we release a player, doesn’t mean we are going to sign anyone of note.

 

[Jimmy]

I’d say momo n talau will be centres with Mbye starting 9, grub or Walters off the bench

 

[Madge]

That honestly surprised me so much, I did not expect that at all. Usually closer to the date, there would be more rumblings. I’m confused I don’t know how to react.

 

[pawsandclaws1]

The report on the Nth Qld site says the WTs will put their faith in Tommy Talau.

What else would they say? We haven't signed any replacements yet. And in any case momirovski is already a superior player in every way

Same article but with an added paragraph in the Dragon's forum mentioning Magurie's meeting with Lomax.

Anyway, Matterson is left wondering why he didn't ask Marsters how to go about getting a release.

I certainly hope that is not happening, MBye at 9 with Grub as back up, that would be a disaster, as neither are a 9

 

[balmain boy]

He had a poor year and had the nerve to ask for a payrise? Cows are desperate

 

[Fraze23]

Given the stand we've taken with Matterson. I wonder what the positive outcome will be for the club in releasing Marsters? Fingers crossed we've got some good news coming.

@851 I feel grub wont be with as...and Mbye was in a grand final playing hooker but again others players around him were in form then....I guess Mbye is avg. everywhere

Mbye has always been just an above average player. Really have no idea how he's been on $800K+ for the majority of his career.

We don’t have to pay a guy who wasn’t performing, that’s the positive. The question is can he regain form at the Cowboys.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Does that mean we are about to announce the signing of an outside back?

Hahaha probably not.

 

[cochise]

That is why Benji's announcement came yesterday!

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Disappointing.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

He wouldn’t have been on more than about 300k. He signed this contract as a rookie. Doubt it’s freeing up much cash. Probably more of a case that he isn’t Madge’s type of player and they are doing him a favour by letting him take up a big offer elsewhere.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Far out... A good player lost who copped a lot of stick from fans... Local junior as well. Well, if we don't sign a competent or even better replacement I won't be letting this go any time soon.

 

[innsaneink]

So our Centre stocks for next year are

Mbye
Momo
Talau
Jennings
Chee-kam as a backup

Hopefully Momo can continue to improve as with Talau.

I hope they look at another forward with Esan's money

Heartening 🙄

 

[Chainlink]

To be honest I think it’s a good move by the club. He didn’t deserve an upgrade. He’s too slow and lazy for centre and too lazy and small for back row. Off to Cowboys where I predict he’ll never be heard from again after 1 season.

 

[bigsiro]

Thanks Esan.
Best of luck!

Yes it’s extremely rare that players leave the Tigers system to find success elsewhere.

 

[Viking Warrior]

I'm guessing we had to do this to register Benji's contract. I'm probably wrong but his cap space is probably going to Benji and Britton
