Momorovski wants out

[choiboi]

Momirovski is a footballers' footballer. He has the footballing smarts and makes full use of his talents. If he continues to work on his goalkicking he will become one of the first picked for whatever team he selects. Our issue at WTs is that the winger outside of him lacks genuine pace over the 100m. Put Staines outside of him and watch thst combination fire.

Yep, totally agree with this.

Mate who is a Roosters fan says Robbo really rated him

I heard this before, if it's true why hasn't Robbo made a play to bring him back?
I'm sure there is a "however" statement to follow "Robbo really rates him"

 

[carltonleach]

Does anyone know why he wants out or where too or why we have said no and if it’s for a player in return who it may be? Seems as though Laurie won’t be here this year so do we think momo won’t be going anywhere if that’s the case?

Circumstances do change, I mean he had latrell and manu ahead of him at the time. I do remember that part about robbo rating him aswell but unsure if it's actually true or not

I rate him - I rate him 6/10.

I genuinely dont get the love of some here for Momers. I dont dislike him and I think he is a solid first grade player in the mold of Shane Elford but Ive never seen him do anything impressive.

His fans here regularly quote his try scoring strike rate, but they are all catch and crash tries, I cant remember him beating a player.


I mean if you literally watched any of his 2019 tries like ive posted video clips numerous times in this thread you would see that barely any are “catch and crash” like you said

But his haters love to ignore that of course


No worries, post them up again


I can’t be bothered proving obvious trolls wrong.


Obvious trolls? I said he is a good solid player, hardly trolling. You said you had proof I was wrong and that most of his tries were not short range.

Only one of us is not backing up his words.


You said that most of his tries he barely beat one player...fairly inaccurate, watch the tries from the dogs game onwards and you’ll be pleasantly surprised


I dont have time to trawl through videos, Im relying on my memory of his play. You are welcome to post them up.

There is a difference between crashing through a flat defence 5 -10m out and actually beating a player.

I will say he used good footwork to step inside players to score his tries. He is a decent finisher, but believe we need more in that position and think we have players that play similar to him but are better.

I would ask anyone on this forum to come up with 3 wests tigers names in our 20 year history

I would ask any forum member to come up with the names of 3 past or present players for our club who have scored tries in 75% of games played (anywhere)
14 from 19 in Nrl
1 from one playing for the prime ministers 13

Sure like many have suggested he is not the world's best player
Maybe not even in our top 20
But Paul has the uncanny ability to put himself in the right spot at the right time
He has the ability to sniff out a try
You don't score 15 try's in 20 games in the worlds best competition by fluke
Wests tigers have had 236 players at our club and only one player has equaled that record
And the is Marika Korobetti
Now let that sink in a little
One player in 236
And Marika Korobetti
And what's more Marika only score 12 tries from 16 games for us
Every player to pull on our jersey has had the same opportunities
But Momorovski has taken those opportunities more than any other player in our history as far as tries v games played
The point IMO is Paul is a keeper
He can do a good job for us
And no one can discount the facts
It is the spines position to help create tries
Its players like Paul that finish them
And although not the best goal kicker in our team, he is a handy back up to have
I dont see to many players putting their hand up for that roll

Now after sticking up for Paul, should we be able to upgrade Paul in a position of need then I am all for it
Its just like a game of chess
Sometimes you have to sacrifice a pawn / player for the good of your own game

If we have the opportunity to keep Paul then I am all for it
But let's not give a release without a class replacement


Here’s what I heard today: Pathers will release Laurie in a player swap but want the Tigers to pay the difference. Momo didn’t ask for a release as such but put his hand up for the opportunity. Tigers said no because A, they want to keep Momo and B, they would be paying Laurie his contract offer plus Momo’s contract and have decided that’s a bit too expensive. Tigers have offered Cini because his development contract makeS it a cheaper negotiation. The talks continue but it seems like a done deal, just the details need to be worked out


Keeping Momo and swapping Cini for Laurie is very sensible and nobody loses.Momo is still under contract and if he has a decent year(which i expect)he can be upgraded later this year

I thought Laurie was on a development contract,just like Cini,for 2021?So nhes not gonna breal the bank to bring him over
I think we shld keep Momo too,as we know hes a NRL centre who will turn up every week.
Cini...never seen him play so cant comment like most of us
As for Laurie..an 83kg fullback who has played 3 NRL games doesnt sound like a robust must get early solution to our fullback problem tbh

Same size as Paps, similar play style too from what I've seen.

Yep...but Paps is a one in a decade....!
Coach has seen enuff to hire him,so issue is timing

Same decade as Teddy, now maybe 3 in the decade ?

Teddy was/is 94kgs so irrelevant
Slater was 87kgs...probably relevant,but one of the strongest(and most talented)
There was one before that who was the same size in the 60s,...Clive Churchill..yep,thats the one
What all these little fbs need for success is a really good defensive structure which can give them some protection...which Storm has..we dont
Weve seen many Mullaneys /Gallants etc disappearinto the ether at our club,and maybe Paps wld have too..?
Hope Luarie does great,but more than ever its a big mans game and I wldnt be putting all my options with him

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Does anyone know why he wants out or where too or why we have said no and if it’s for a player in return who it may be? Seems as though Laurie won’t be here this year so do we think momo won’t be going anywhere if that’s the case?

Yeah I actually think this is a storm in a tea cup, fuelled by the media because there just hasn’t been any negative news around us this off season, so they had to make something up.

I think Momo will stay and he will definitely get his chance in the top grade. He only has to wait until JL loses the plot which probably won’t be too long into the season. I don’t expect Joey will be any better for us this year than he was last year, that ship has sailed.

Being fair to Momo...he is the final year of a contract and needs to impress clubs to get a new / decent deal.

If reports are correct, he was told he is behind JTJ, BJ and Tommy for a center spot and very unlikely to play much.

Given that, it is completely understandable he wants to go somewhere else IMO.

 

[Tiger5150]

Tigers fans : Momo is a good solid player, trouble is he has at least **Two more talented players ahead of him.**

Also Tigers Fans: That is RUBBISH! He has a great football brain and Robbo really rates him and would have kept him, except they had **two more talented players ahead of him.**

I thought we gave him 2 more years post Storm??
Either way,by mid season he'll be our first centre chosen for one reason or another,and as Ive said previously re Matterson/Aloai..dont let em walk early!!!
Storm yet again taught us how to do this with JAC

Second year is a player option. If he is our 1st choice centre by midseason then we miss the 8.

If we have lost enough games that he moves past the 3 dedicated centres we have in front of him then the season is already gone.

I view him as the the equal 5th best centre in the club.

Teddy was/is 94kgs so irrelevant
Slater was 87kgs...probably relevant,but one of the strongest(and most talented)
There was one before that who was the same size in the 60s,...Clive Churchill..yep,thats the one
What all these little fbs need for success is a really good defensive structure which can give them some protection...which Storm has..we dont
Weve seen many Mullaneys /Gallants etc disappearinto the ether at our club,and maybe Paps wld have too..?
Hope Luarie does great,but more than ever its a big mans game and I wldnt be putting all my options with him

Teddy filled out a fair bit after going to easts,Slater the same,god the kids only 20.why do people look for negatives?

Yeah! One of the greatest,Gary Jack was huge?
