Gildart

I wish we had of kept momirovski

Haven't you heard, he was useless and that we were lucky to off load him so we could get one of the best fullbacks in the NRL.

Nah I think this was the clubs way of signing an international player after we missed out on so many others last season.

Yep I think when so many NRL players said no - we had to go overseas

 

[weststigerman]

Yep, way out of his depth, but we knew that last year.

He did actuallt manage to beat gagai one on one and if it wasnt for hastings being in the way he scores a try imo after hastings makes that break

I saw that as Gildart’s error. Hastings expecting him to do an in and away and support him down the sideline.
To me it showed Gildart having no confidence in his own pace?

not prepared to totally write off just yet, defensively he needs work but attacking wise he is not too bad

He was scoring too often. Now we’re looking for the guy who was passing him the ball 😂🤣

I agree. My mate was raving about why Tigers were still fielding Jimmy Jet in the starting lineup, and I said when you are missing 3 other first-choice centres then you start to run out of good options (as if Tigers have elite first-choice players).

I think Gildart has some ability and I think you are right he needs more time to adjust to the NRL. He's ultimately quite a small frame and that's going to be problematic for him if he cannot use his footwork more effectively, but I think against Storm he showed he can be hard to handle in attack.

I'm convinced however he's just not used to the raw power in the NRL of the centres and backrowers he is facing.

I also think though that to say he's a failure, after 2 matches, is calling it far too soon. We'll know better by the end of the year.

I called out his size before coming over as a major defensive risk, yet to see anything to suggest otherwise. We have zero options better than him to play left center and am willing to give him some time but I don't see how he will make it as a regular in the NRL on his current path once some players come back from injury.

 

[Lee's fedora]

He is 2 games in give the bloke a chance

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Seems to be confusion every time opposition attack is running towards his side
