James Roberts

Don't know about safe Demps. I want competition for positions - that's what will take us to a better place. If we can keep peeps we have now, volster couple of positions, and get the younguns coming through to take their place we will be a stronger club.
That's what is the most important.

Could you imagine a club like Melbourne or Panthers discussing an extension for Jimmy the Jet ?

It wouldn't even be a thought.
 
Wtf Roberts is definitely good business he is one of the lowest paid players in our squad & can be one of our best players if he is injury free.
He's had 3 tries in 14 appearances in his time at the Tigers.

League minimum wage is $120,000

As I said , wouldn't even be a discussion at Melboirne or the Panthers.

We need to improve our team and having Jet in the 30 doesn't improve anything.

LOL you can't argue the "well the storm wouldn't do it" line.

Storm would never of signed Naden as their premier center, but he is good enough for us.

But then on the other side the Storm wanted Talau for JAC, but Talau isn't NRL material or should be signed for another year.

Reality is we suck and are desperate for backs and as such are taking punts in hope one pays off.

Mid season transfer isn't a premier centre signing.

We're low on backs and he became available sp we made the play.

Desperate times.
1.5 year contract.

Probably wanted Talau because with Remis out they're relying on Seve and Iremia... raw.

He has been playing with a busted back all year & was injured for most of last year. He was also being starved of any possession with Douiehi not providing early ball to him last year so how can you judge him when he really hasn’t had many opportunities he can be a very good player if given early ball & if he stays injury free.

I think his best days are behind him...

30 year old centre, career plagued with injuries, off field indiscretions and his own personal battles.

Blake Ferguson would probably offer more to a club at the moment.

No hate to James Roberts.
He seems OK.
But it's a business at the end of the day.
 
Pom mentioned we have a 1 year deal on the table for Talau...

Gildart also under contract.

So our centre depth could be Talau, Gildart, AJ and Jet - if extended ?

This isn't good enough imo.

Assuming Naden and To'a start... those other options are the same as this year, minus Kei - who hasn't ever seemed to be in the plan.

Not improving the roster at all.
What about Doueihi and young Feledy?

If our starters are Doueihi and Naden, then the depth is Toa, Talau, JTJ, Gildart, AJ, Feledy, and a few other promising youngsters coming through...

Sure they may not set the world on fire but with Doueihi back it starts to make our depth seem a bit more reasonable.

Forgot about Feledy...
He looks good- hopefully kicks on.

How did he hurt is back when he didn’t get the ball? He’s cooked 😂
 
When he’s collecting good freight from your footy club to do FA you can react how u like.
But he is on minimum....hows AD,Blore,Laurie going while they are on the sideline,none have done what JTJ has done in their careers yet,time will tell...
I suppose you forgot about Packer,Matalino,Mbye and J.Rey....big money for FA...

7 wrongs don’t make a right
 
Neither does rubbishing a guy who wants to make a difference in his life by admitting to his demons and flaws,trying to give his best while in pain and is contributing to help develop our youth....
I’m not on the snowflake forum am I?
