Jimmy the Jet

[Schooner hands]

I played in the centres and tbh JTJ did what was needed for the team on the 1%ers like kick returns etc. the team as a whole appears to be coached in attack to not run onto the ball. Pretty hard for the bloke to run decent lines if they are all starting from what appears to be a starting position with no acceleration.

A player who's reached the highest highs against a career reserve grader - Um - Yes.
If Momo was good enough for Penrith, Easts and Storm, Why's he been dropped to ressies for Easts and let go by the other 2?.

Half decent player, But hardly the magician he's made out to be here.

If you use Momo as an argument you've lost. I have no idea how someone so average gets rated so highly on this forum.

Borderline first grader. Robers has speed and toughness that Momo doesn't have.

I think Jimmy has been effected badly this year by both - high inflation and the war in Ukraine.

Fuel is at an absolute premium

Street corner tip suggests Wests are currently in talks with - Garry the Glider

It’s the same with our defence we stand waiting for the opposition to come to us, there’s no line speed in our D at all.

Frustrating to watch yesterday. Half gets the ball, no one is running any lines for them.

Agreed....
Momo defence of late makes Roberts look like David Gillespie

The stupidity was signing him in the first place. A younger player like Tupou could've been blooded more this year. But, hey let's see if The Jet can rekindle his form of 2018. 😴😴

That argument makes sense if Tupou was a center which he isn’t.

He is a centre.

This released the day we signed him:
"With speed and slick footwork, the new recruit can feature anywhere in the outside backs but has spent most of his career in the centres."

Don’t know how many times I saw Hastings look for a runner and everybody was just standing flat footed behind him.

Debatable. It’s great in a news article but since then he has played what 1-2 games in reggies at center.

It’s not how we have been using him since he has come back from union. Has been viewed more as a winger/fullback.

Pascoe just loves to announce a former rep star

"Has spent most of his career in the Centres" Laurie gets picked at 1 every week hes available, Nofoaluma and Ken are our best Metre makers, weve thrown Garner there and tried Gildart and have given Roberts countless opportunities but not Tupou.

Unfortunately he hasn’t shown much.

 

[sparci]

You're spot on there Demps, not the same since Lawrence and Halatau in the centres aye cuz

u the real dene?

 

[Eternal Tiger]

We know what Roberts has to offer........very little. Give Tupou 8-10 games in a row so we can make a serious judgement on him for 2023

 

[Cobarcats]

I would blood guys like Tupou with Roberts, and carry another back on the bench.
Suffer the consequences and gradually get these up and comers some game time and experience.

Time to go to sleep, I'm beginning to become delusional 🤪

Momo is barely a first grader. I reckon Roberts is a better player. He isn't playing first grade at the Roosters who are 10th.

3 seemingly permanent finalist teams would beg to differ. He may not be Manu but he's better than what we have here.
Yet another stupid decision by a stupid club run by stupid people.
Why the term basketcase equates to Wests Tigers is beyond me - at least a basket can hold something.
