Joe Ofahengaue #240

[TigerWest]

Let’s hope the big O lifts his game next year because he was dead set rubbish this year

he had Fifita and Haas getting most of the carries and his wife was also battling cancer so that's one way he's performance could have been effected.

Been carried by a very good pack ...we wll find out the hard way ...again

There pack was ordinary apart from Haas.
Offa on his day can outplay any forward. Big motor too..like the pick ip alot.

Look back since he has started ...Thaiday ...Gillett ...Fifita .....Jaydn Sua ...Essesse......Arrow ...ordinary ....lol

It's quality right. I don't know. I'm not sold on this signing. I hope it works out for us.

People are going to expect his signing as a pack leader like Josh was in 2020 ......he isn't that man ....sorry ...If Aloiai was a qlder he would of got chosen ahead of Joe O in 2019


You don’t like Joe and over rate Aloiai, I totally disagree with all you have said

Happy_tiger has the most ironic name on here. Seems eternally miserable.

And yet again Rusty Cage played the man ....not the subject

Grow up

Every quote and never a fact attached ....

Ok. Opinions not allowed then? I'm not in any inner circle within the tigers. Everything I write is an opinion and have I no problem with that. But surely you must realise that almost every post you make of late is one that's unhappy with something. Something genuinely positive won't hurt you. Really - you should try it some day.

When teh WT's make a positive move / signing I'll give them the kudos they deserve .....James Roberts has never finished a contract ......and Daine Laurie in a fringe player from another club who is only potential ..the one bloke we were told was basically signed and delivered pulled the pin ...same happened last year ....Our best player for the 3 years has left (Grant ,Matterson and Tedesco )no matter the circumstances are

Tamou is the only positive and that is questioned by many on the Forum

No wonder I struggle to find the positives ......

So pretty much unless they’re an origin player they’re not a good signing? Was luc a good signing to you?

If we aren't aiming to sign the biggest players in the game we should be giving it away ....Yeah Lucy has been a good signing

We are
James Tamou
Height195 cm (6 ft 5 in)
Weight115 kg (18 st 2 lb)
That make him one of the biggest

What's that I hear you say
"The best players"
Well we tried LM
Addo-Carr
And Harry Grant
We would have been in discussions with plenty of others
Its not through lack of trying
Let's hope the fact that the COE is under way, that it might help with future signings
Even if just a little

Now Happy
Is that really you posting or did your misses take over you forum account
Because you have changed
Cheer up mate
Things could be worse
Geo could move in next door to you

Well if we are continually trying to sign the best players and they continually say no ...we must address what the problem actually is .....I haven't seen any operational changes ....so yet again the club stick its head in the sand and ignores the obvious

What is the obvious?

Our club is seen by many as a bad joke across the board ...management and the way we are run ..roster ...multiple grounds

Who are the many?
We’ve had our ups and downs, but surely you can see changes are taking place and had some good things and signings happening.

I don't believe that there is some massive problem. Melbourne develop all their stars or poach players who aren't top line. The point is we are trying to get the right players and we also appear to not be offering massive overs on the wrong players.

16 clubs for starters see us as a easy mark and nothing has changed despite the mouthpieces

You are way too negative mate. This is just subjective assessments and it's meaningless. None of that stuff matters. You just gotta keep plugging away and see what happens.

I'd understand if there was consistent bad info coming out about the club but I don't see it. I mean do Saints still have supporters ? What about Melbourne ? What about Cronulla ? Those clubs have had some pretty poor moments in recent years.

I don't believe signing marquee players is an issue. I agree not making the finals is a problem but we haven't been consistently last. It's not so easy to develop a footy team that wins consistently.

I remember when Easts were one of the worst teams in the comp and laughed at all the time.

It can turn. It's harder to turn things around when you are handicapped by poor decisions of the past but that is the situation we are in.

 

[Newtown]

How many times in a row did teams like Parramatta and Newcastle and not so recently Roosters (mid to late 60's) win the wooden spoon 3 times or so in a row. They all came back. Anybody writing teams off is losing persepctive.

[TigerSJ]

Hang on - sure we haven’t made finals for a long while, but we are not running last either. We are a middle of the comp team currently, so in a “glass is half full” context, nearly half the teams are performing worse than us and many of them have had better rosters.
When we can turn up each and every week and put in a solid effort and win a decent share of games, and when we look like a squad that want to play for each other with some young enthusiastic guys coming through, then we will sign the elite players that we target because they will want to be a part of that success.

 

[balmain boy]

No real gain for Panthers letting him go early

If Gus was there he'd have already been released. They have other top young talents that can take up dev spots. He's not in their 30 so it's basically being cruel and punishing a young player simply seeking an opportunity. They can't provide it. If he stays he'll play maybe 1-2 games next season. Their production line can repalce him. He's their thrid choice fullback and third choice 5/8. Hardly inexpendable...

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Be good if we can now get Daine Laurie released for 2021

I get the feeling it won’t happen unfortunately

No real gain for Panthers letting him go early

No gain at all

Only gain out of letting him go would be to upgrade another player from their junior ranks (who they might view long term) into a development contract. Would love to see Laurie here next year, but I agree that 2022 is probably the more likely result.

If they haven’t filled up their development roster they could do that anyway though. Ivan will have to do us a favour if he’s to come early ?

Yeah I have no idea how many they have on development contracts.
Haha...don't like our chances of that!

Offa on his day can outplay any forward. Big motor too..like the pick ip alot.

Look back since he has started ...Thaiday ...Gillett ...Fifita .....Jaydn Sua ...Essesse......Arrow ...ordinary ....lol

It's quality right. I don't know. I'm not sold on this signing. I hope it works out for us.

People are going to expect his signing as a pack leader like Josh was in 2020 ......he isn't that man ....sorry ...If Aloiai was a qlder he would of got chosen ahead of Joe O in 2019


You don’t like Joe and over rate Aloiai, I totally disagree with all you have said

Happy_tiger has the most ironic name on here. Seems eternally miserable.

And yet again Rusty Cage played the man ....not the subject

Grow up

Every quote and never a fact attached ....

Ok. Opinions not allowed then? I'm not in any inner circle within the tigers. Everything I write is an opinion and have I no problem with that. But surely you must realise that almost every post you make of late is one that's unhappy with something. Something genuinely positive won't hurt you. Really - you should try it some day.

When teh WT's make a positive move / signing I'll give them the kudos they deserve .....James Roberts has never finished a contract ......and Daine Laurie in a fringe player from another club who is only potential ..the one bloke we were told was basically signed and delivered pulled the pin ...same happened last year ....Our best player for the 3 years has left (Grant ,Matterson and Tedesco )no matter the circumstances are

Tamou is the only positive and that is questioned by many on the Forum

No wonder I struggle to find the positives ......

There is a lot I disagree with in this post, but your opinion isn't one I am quick to dismiss.

Agree with your assessment.

We slightly older guys are more pragmatic.

In truth we have a massive PR issue and the brand (not the logo and colours) is tarnished.

We need 2 things.... Win a few more games (street Cred) and we need our David Fafita, Kalyn Ponga to turn the recruitment tide

I think the PR issue is about to turn.

I agree...we're starting to get some improved cattle, our juniors are starting to look healthy again...our coe is bundling along.....lots of positives
