Wests by knockout any day of the week.

Unless they allow 2 balls on the field

I think Ponga is a real talent, but not sure he is robust enough yet. We should make a play for SOC (son of Cogger)

 

[Spud_Murphy]

No way.

Yes way. Ponga Lolohea. Watson Reynolds. Moga Fonua. Guerra McQueen. Lillyman Rochow.

Watson and Ponga are all hype. The only ones i will give you are Moga and Guerra. Lillyman and Heigno will be almost 35 next year.

Watson is a real dice roll. I would take Reynolds over Watson in a second.

A shame Heighington did not want to finish in the Black, White and Orange. I think were missing experience in our front row and having someone of his caliber around would be useful. The Knights on the other hand, You don't buy 2x 35 year old's, particularly in the front (unless you have a LOT of depth). Naturally if they come really cheap, sure. But I think they are taking a big risk as is Chris playing in his 35th year.

I wouldn't have minded seeing Chris finish his career back where he started either, but in all honesty, I reckon he would be just 'more of the same' in our forward pack and we really need a second rower with game-breaking impact, not another workhorse.

All the best in your season at Newy Chris.

They've recruited very very well… They should improve a lot

Yeah I think they've recruited really well. We have as well but IMO but the Knights have the better quality players coming in.

No way.

Yes way. Ponga Lolohea. Watson Reynolds. Moga Fonua. Guerra McQueen. Lillyman Rochow.

Newcastle are looking good aren't they.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

This guy just keeps going and going. Good on him for getting so many games up.

 

[Tiger78]

Why Heighington even gets a start in the Wests Tigers forum is beyond me the past is the past lets move forward i couldnt care less who he is playing for next yea if he isn't with us who cares what he is doing. I respect what he did for the club but thats where it ends.

His yet to prove himself to me and the year in reserve grade would of hurt him.

Not a good judge are you.

Watch the games he played for us back in the day. No superstar, but great club man and a great defender.

Good luck Chris.

We've got the better coach and that is what will make the biggest difference.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I reckon both will be shock admissions to the 8.

 

[Tigerdon]

I reckon both will be shock admissions to the 8.

I'd love to see that. Hope you are right.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I reckon both will be shock admissions to the 8.

I can't see the Knights improving that much.

I can, they are infinitely a better team next year than this year, they have recruited very well.

 

[TIGER]

I thought he'd said on 2SM a while back he was giving it away?

Good luck to him either way.

He has, he joined the Knights.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

He has, he joined the Knights.

I'd have agreed if he joined at the beginning of this year :slight_smile:

Not a good judge are you. I agree with Tiger78\. So many people live in the past. Heighington was good for us. Now, not so much.

I bet if we string a few wins together, some wanker reporter will ask Benji, does it feel like ‘05 again?

 

[innsaneink]

Well…. Heighnos got another premiership ring while all our blokes have are extra stamps in their passports dated September... He must be doing something right

 

[Tim Sheens]

Yeah, he may have been one of the last players selected each week, but nonetheless a constant in the top seventeen. Good enough for another club to give him another season.
