He has had some issues their is no doubt but he is also the 2nd fastest player in the game, played Origin in 2018 , would come cheap and is only 27. If he has his head on right then its a brilliant signing - if he doesn't then don't sign him

Yes, together. Sportsbet might have something.

Jimmy the Jet is fast and elusive. Hopefully Ricky will take Joey back at the Raiders.

SMH could run a double page spread with the WTs' logo all over it.
 
At a cheap price I would take him. He has what is missing in our backline and that is electric pace. I’d sign him to a one year contract with a club option for the second year.

He would realise it’s his last chance to make something out of his talent and we might get his amazing side.
 
Jimmy would burn the grass at Concord and if true would definately inject much needed speed into the backline...it would be the ultimate test of Madge being a man manager...TheJet has issues but he also has what we need in the way of speed...I personally wouldnt risk it...but Im not in the footy department at the WTs...
 
I get jimmy has issues , but if we give him a 200k contract and it’s a prove it or catch you later contract . What’s the issue ? The dude is legit one of the best backs in the game , when he’s on . And when he’s not , whatevz no harm no foul. Mansour is a place holder winger , if a nsw cup player like AJ or whoever sows they’re better , it’s back to reserves . It’s actually the perfect signing , if you’re looking to truely develop , as there’s no loyalty and he’s good enough to maintain the he position if no one supplants him . Seems pretty smart to me ..
 
Has Madge coached him before? Was he at Souths when Madge was there or was he at another club at that time? I like the idea (05TIGZZ) of 1 yr + 1yr club option. As Phillip says: "you can't coach speed".
 
A cheap contract perhaps?!
I’m a little suspect of his defence.also I think he plays right centre?Bj’s side lol
Would our club be considering him for fullback?!2020 definitely has seen the return of fast fullbacks.no longer need to be a third ball player.cant argue with how fast he is

Honestly, i know the club is trying, BUT i just don't feel that other clubs discards is the way to go. If you want to win a comp they must persist chasing A graders.
In saying that,i am sure in the event we do sign him,it shouldn't cost us too much! His defence worries me.
We miss out on LM and get BJ, now miss JAC and get Jimmy?..Honestly! Time to hand in the membership me thinks!!!

Sometimes it can work out. The bulldogs and us couldn't get through to Suli, but it seems Manly might have been the right fit.

If he's cheap and it's a gap filler before JAC, then why not?

1. Mbye
2. Talau
3. Jimmy
4. BJ
5. Noffa

It's passable
 
Sorry but Jimmy the Jet doesn't get my hopes up. His head just hasn't been in it for years. If he can get back to the form he showed at the Titans, then yeah, he'd be worth it. He has a lot of mental health issues. I don't know if we have enough strong characters at our club to help him through them.
