Ken Maumalo #246

[crazycat]

Hey silly question.
Why did the Warriors loose Ken Maumalo to us?

I keep thinking about this and I don't understand how this happened.

So Warriors have cap space and are chasing DWZ. Did they think DWZ Maumalo?
Do they have an excess of Wingers?
It can't be for money, surely the Warriors could match 300k.

I am hoping this is all just too good to be true. Heck maybe Maumalo got involved with Mrs Brown and hence Nathan sent him packing. All good for us.

I have only heard that he didn't get on with the coach but you can take that with a grain of salt. Seems strange to release him for DWZ.

Brown slapped him ......he has form

You mean Brown got Jason Taylor as an adviser!

Honestly, yes it seems a strange way for the Warriors to release someone for DWZ.
Unless they are gunning for one of the offmarket halves, which they may be.
Either Maumalo has a secret addiction or we got a good player at a good price.

What’s the story behind Fetalaiga Pauga?

He's good.
Qld cup recruit.

When do you think he will get a run? Replace Talau maybe?

Shoulda been done already tbh.
Talau has had his chance and showed nothing.

doubt he gets a crack anytime soon, but good to see he's in Madge's thoughts being in the 21. unless we cop a few injuries I don't think we'll see him in the top flight until 2022.

Every profile I can find of Kepaoa has him listed as a winger, and that’s where he played most of his games for us. Regardless, this signing dumps him down the 2022 depth chart.
Wingers - Nofo, Maumalo
Centres - Talau, Roberts

He's played all of his juniors as a centre or fullback. Only played a handful of games on the wing in his life before he joined us...

That's why people call him a centre. We had opening on the wing, that's why he played there.


Its pretty standard for coaches to bring younger centres or fullbacks through on the wing to get used to NRL level before pushing them in.

Woosters weleased Woger TS on the Wing at first!

Pulling on a Wests Tigers jersey for the first time was a unique experience for Ken Maumalo, but it just felt right — according to the representative winger himself.

Following an emotional farewell with the Warriors, Maumalo linked up with his new team on Tuesday morning and is excited to make his club debut on Saturday night against the Melbourne Storm.

The powerful winger has signed a two-and-a-half-year deal that will see him feature in Wests Tigers colours until at least the end of the 2023 NRL season.

Since making his first-grade debut in 2015, Maumalo played 106 NRL games for the Warriors as well as 13 international matches.

“It feels different to put this jersey on, but I’m just grateful to be here,” Maumalo said in his first interview since joining Wests Tigers.

“I’ve just arrived and I think I look good in these colours and I’m excited for the change.”

It was an emotional farewell for Maumalo when he lined up for his final game for the Warriors on Sunday afternoon.

The representative winger scored a hat-trick to farewell his debut club — making it six tries against Melbourne in 2021.

Funnily enough, Maumalo could face to the Storm again this weekend if named to make his Wests Tigers debut.

“It was a different experience. I didn’t think I was going to get the chance to play [for the Warriors against Melbourne],” he said.

“I shed a few tears after the match in that last moment. I’m not a man that would shed tears in front of the cameras, but everything bottled up at once and it just came out.”

Having played under coach Michael Maguire at the representative level, Maumalo is excited to reunite with the New Zealand mentor.

“I’ve had my experiences with Madge for the Kiwis,” the winger said.

“He’s played a huge part in me playing for the Kiwis and he’s really looked after me.

“When the opportunity came up to join Wests Tigers, I was all for it.”

Maumalo is looking forward to playing his part in the rich history of Wests Tigers and is confident the club is heading in the right direction.

After meeting his new teammates, he can’t wait to make his club debut.



I’m looking forward to Ken and Brooksy developing a great combo.

He’d be good with doueihi at 6

If both JAC and Roberts signed, our cap would be screwed. Likewise with the big 4 we couldn’t have offered 600k, 750k etc and have 900k and 1.2m come back. If you only have 30k in the bank you can’t spend 25k and 20k.

No it wouldn't have been, Jimmy is on $150k, our cap would have been fine, and our backline better off with both

I am hoping this is all just too good to be true. Heck maybe Maumalo got involved with Mrs Brown and hence Nathan sent him packing. All good for us.

My guess is the warriors have a lot of wingers, Ken is only a winger, DWZ can play wing, centre and fullback, so a better fit and coverage, although the money factor is a little strange

Haha you expect that from the mention of certain names like Brooks or Madge in a positive way.

If Hastings and Gildart perform, AD might be the new 14 as Mbye leaves.

Interested to know why you think that. Doueihi plays right and Ken is playing left wing.

Is it because they are both tall?

 

[hank37w]

We need tighter shirts..

They look ugly (ala Mitchell in Origin) but it's so much harder to tackle a person with a tight jersey than a loose one.

Liddle, Mbye, Douehi and all wear a jersey a size too big (probably coz it's confortable)

Why dont the NRL do away with jerseys completely and use body paint...

merchandise $$ would be one reason

Paint's not cheap.
