Ken Maumalo #246

[clontarfkid]

Weve tried all year to force fit centres and full backs(Talau/Cini/Jtj/Kepoa)into that left wing position...and none of them have really worked
Most have been clueless about defending on the wing,which has cost us plenty of tries(particularly when coupled with Joey in defence,but thats another story)
Now we have a specialist left winger who happened to be winger of the year 2 seasons ago who will walk straight into 1st grade,hopefully next week vs Storm
Plus theres upside.....hes bigger than Siva, and Madge cld make him potentially better
Great signing
Cld be a game changer for WTs

Who goes, Roberts or Tommy?

Tommy for sure. Need Roberts pace.

Laurie
Nofo
Doueihi
Roberts
Maumolo

Probably the best backline we’ve had for a while

Agree. Maumolo is coming here play 1st grade. Tommy is slow and at this stage offers liitle. Roberts should be selected in the centres.

Facts.
So that's the line for this year...

1 Laurie
2 Nofo
3 Jet
4 Douihei
5 Maumalo

And 2022 we have Gildart and hopefully Allan Fitzgibbon and a few others (Talau, Maybe Cini, AJ) looking for a spot.

Tommy T now he is back in the centre’s looks a lot better and I think there is very little between Jet and Tommy. To be honest, I have not seen Jet do a great deal this year, but I guess he is starting to look better. We will know a lot more in a few weeks

Recap the situation

We supposedly meet Isako, media circus.
Goes no where and he claims he's sticking solid with broncos.

We talk to dogs about DWZ, they want BJ and then they want Mikaele... not too flexible with the costs involved. We walk away.

We then sign an athletic, tall, young, winger from the warriors looking to prove himself and get back to his best, in first grade.

????

Huge win.
Team is really shaping up nicely.

You realise Maumalo is older than both Dwz and Isakko, right?

It’ll be interesting to watch how the careers of Dallin and Isaako play out. Just stuck in average teams or poor players ?

Dallin is happy with mediocrity, a good bedtime story read by Barrett and a BBQ at the so-called family club is enough to make him feel all warm and fuzzy ... he’s overpaid - gllad we moved on.

It is possible we could still sign him
We have $
He would need to take a pay cut and Bulldogs would need to chip in big time
At the moment they are stuck with him
We aren't desperate
They will be
If they can't offload him then they will be lop sided with backs next year
I wonder if Brisbane may even look at him with a trade for Lodge
Both players on the way out of their clubs
Bulldogs need forwards
Brisbane need backs
Similar $ value
Only sticking point is contract length
Watch this space
Just a hunch

Gone to Warriors now ...hasn't he

We don’t want DWZ. He is lame.

1000% agree ...was just answering the question

Yes. I like my players to be of the non plod variety.

 

[finnzo]

To me it’s a meh signing … it’s like Madge is missing his international coaching and wants to bring in as many as he can.

Yeah singing international players sucks

 

[JC99]

It seems that he's... playing for warriors today? Guess he's not officially officially a tiger yet, must be his last day as a warrior

 

[finnzo]

I’m thrilled with this signing the amount of work he does coming out of red zone is insane with him and nofo starting our sets we will be marching up the field

 

[WT2K]

It seems that he's... playing for warriors today? Guess he's not officially officially a tiger yet, must be his last day as a warrior

Yep, named in final team

Must be a send off for him

 

[avocadoontoast]

It seems that he's... playing for warriors today? Guess he's not officially officially a tiger yet, must be his last day as a warrior

But he was released, isn’t he a Tiger now? If he gets injured I’ll be pretty annoyed.

Guess he's not technically released yet as he was named in their 21.... be filthy if he gets suspended or injured.

Be spewing if he gets suspended/injured

 

[weststigerman]

That is so weird being announced before the game. If he was playing today why didn’t they both just announce after the game?

If he does an ACL the club will be crucified.

 

[gallagher]

I’ll have to watch the Warriors game tomorrow to see how he goes ..

Just put the N word away.

Nufoalooza ?

No chance ?

Got your nuffies ready? ?

 

[The-moP]

Eventually I can see either Tommy or AJ turning into a ball playing lock .. both boys have size to play lock .. they are both not really that quick for out wide .. but quick enough in the middle .. ??

 

[WT2K]

Poor ken, if he gets through today's game and named for us next week.. he plays storms back to back

 

[underdog]

It's all signed sealed and delivered, but he's officially a Tiger from Monday.

Tigers should have said no to him playing today though - why is he playing anyway? It seems strange that they would "RUSH" an unwanted player back into the team..... If he gets injured what happens?

It almost smells like a conspiracy waiting to happen.

Back to back nuffies ..can’t wait ..
Bigger the spook the better the nuffie ?

True but he may also bring some fresh onfield insight from playing the storm that can assist with our prep next week.
Fingers crossed he stays injury & suspension free.

Strange...thought it was an immediate release?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Do not understand picking a player whose going to be released the next day. What’s his motivation?
