Joe Ofahengaue #240

Josh who??

I'm almost ready to let the sook walk if we can use his money or squad spot to improve our roster.

Definitely. Get rid of the goose

I'd be very happy with Joe, @Tiger_Steve I feel is form last year was a blip on the radar and we will see him back to previous form. This could be a massive signing for us. What is your opinion mate?

Sleeping giant. Very damaging runner when motivated. Would take him over Aloiai in a heartbeat. Only concern would be his mentality- will he respond to Madge’s hard line approach?

 

[cochise]

100% a tiger next year

Do you know the $$$ and length of the deal by any chance?

I doubt it. I have not read one of his posts yet where his info could have only come from the inside. He’s just making speculative guesses, hooper has a better strike rate.

He got some JAC info right, but it was about 3 weeks old by the time he posted it.

That's is an issue, but I believe its more an issue for Madge than Joe.

Madge has a reputation (that’s worse than he actually is) and he would know about it before signing the contract. Anyone who signs to play under Madge knows they’ll have to work their butt off and look how it goes for the guys who buy in.

Was just thinking if we are signing him it needs to be now. He needs a full preseason under Madge as he was way off the pace last season

By the sounds of it, this is moving quickly. I think if we sign him it will be in the next week.

Agree 100%. Just wondering if Joe O has the mental toughness or will kick stones. But I want us to sign him for sure

Hopefully he buys in to the tough stuff, we don’t need 2020 Joe O playing for us we want 2019 Joe

They can’t let the sook go, because it will be 2 years running where the club has talked tough in media (matto and now JA) and they will not have backed it up.
JA needs to be banished to CC or player swap with manly

And then when we miss the 8 next year because of 3 highly paid players are playing reserve grade you will be ok with that? The key part of this has to be getting the NRL to sort this situation out as it is a blight on the game.

Exactly, any new player knows what they are coming to.

It's like any new player going to the storm. You don't like our respond to working hard than don't sign up.

It'd be cutting off our nose to spite our face if we just let Aloiai rot in CC. Get rid of the jerk and we can use his money for something useful.

Yeah I agree, get rid of him. But at least make both him and Manly sweat for a few weeks, a bit of uncertainty will do them both some good.

 

[TigerSJ]

We really need to hang tough here and see how it plays out. Manly need to make it worth our while or he simply stays at WTs - no other options for the club now. We hold the cards.

 

[Guest]

Whilst I would like to see Joe O come on board, Aloiai will not see out the season at WT.

Need to get something out of manly otherwise we're soft again and open it to future abuse.

Get the NRL to prevent it from happening again.

I Don't think it's a straight-out swap!! Joe will be here regardless, Lee was pretty pissed and I think that Manly is the only one that can save Josh's NRL carreer,

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Curtis and Joe O would be awesome

 

[ElleryHanley]

Would be a great signing and use Josh A money...that is our win right there.

For those saying make Josh A play reggies....well, then we lose as we then play an NRL season at a cap disadvantage.

Yes, Josh A gets to sook out of town and get his pay rise and it would be nice to watch him mow lawns, but this is a professional league and we can't afford to do that. Bringing in Joe O into that roster slot = a win.
