Thank you for your effort and service to Wests Tigers Paul. Disappointing to see you leave the club, but happy to see you chase a career opportunity. Best of luck.

Laurie didnt cost us Momirovski. Laurie was already signed for next year. Momers clearly wanted out, you cant force a guy to leave, he wanted to go. Obviously didnt rate his chances to get a starting spot in the centres ahead of BJ & JTJ.

There seems to be something going on with the centres at Pamfers. For mine Naden seems to be on the outer and I reckon Momers has been bought for this reason. I reckon strangely enough he is a better chance of getting a run at Pamfers than here.

If you read the article correctly ,Ivan bought him over to the Tigers and then fled for greener pastures,maybe Paul wanted to be coached by Ivan and was left in limbo for a couple of years...good luck to him and I hope he has a great career....

Can someone post the article? Its behind paywall for me (used up free articles)
EDIT: No need, I got around it and read the article. Backs up my opinion of him and if he doesnt back himself to be better than JTJ or BJ, then we have no need for him.
Good riddance IMO, looking for an easy ride. IMO he seems like the type that has some tickets on himself and a sense of entitlement. He and Ivan will be hand in glove. Doesnt seem Madges type.

An outstanding team’: Momirovski may have got better end of deal to leave Tigers
By Christian Nicolussi
February 8, 2021 — 7.45pm
Paul Momirovski needed just a few hours at Penrith on Monday to realise he could end up the luckiest Tiger of all.
Momirovski was part of a historic swap deal last year with Harry Grant and the Melbourne Storm, where he played six games and was unlucky to miss out on selection in the grand final triumph.
Good decision ... Paul Momirovski at Panthers training on Monday.
Good decision ... Paul Momirovski at Panthers training on Monday. PENRITH PANTHERS
Now he has been traded by the Wests Tigers for a second season - this time heading to Penrith in a switch with Daine Laurie - and Momirovski believes it will be an excellent move.
The Panthers are tipped to go one better and win the competition in 2021 while his old club are looking to avoid a 10th straight year without finals.
“There is talent all over the park [at the Panthers], it’s an outstanding team. They’re young and hungry and after one day I’ve noticed everyone just comes in and does their job,” Momirovski told the Herald on Monday.
“There’s no complaining. They come in and do their work. It’s good. It’s a good environment. There are good signs ... this is definitely a place that will be successful for a while.”
Momirovski confirmed he asked the Tigers for a release on more than one occasion over the summer when it became clear he was unlikely to start. Joey Leilua and James Roberts are expected to be the club’s starting centres, and there are high hopes for Tommy Talau. Even Moses Mbye is an option.
“Having conversations with the club and coaching staff and seeing where the club was at, I decided the best thing for me was to try and take up an opportunity elsewhere,” Momirovski said.
“It’s fine, clubs do their thing, it’s a business, there’s no bad blood. I left on good terms and there’s no spite or angst - it was a business decision that was best for both parties.”
Laurie was only on a development deal at Penrith but left for the chance to become the Tigers’ regular No.1. The Tigers are expected to pick up part of the tab for Momirovski this year as he thrashes it out for the right-centre position with Brent Naden and even Matt Burton.
When asked what made him think he was a better chance of playing centre at Penrith than at the Tigers, Momirovski said: “Just the internal conversations you have. There are also good people here around me who can help me get better as a player. Some of the allure was being around people you’re comfortable with and who you know can help improve you.”
Momirovski, 24, debuted for the Roosters as 18th man in their 2018 grand final win and signed to the Tigers when Ivan Cleary was still coach. By the time he arrived for pre-season training before the 2019 campaign, Cleary had controversially returned to the foot of the mountains.

‘It was important for me to watch the game ... now I’m ready to move on’
“Now it’s come full circle with Ivan,” Momirovski said. “It’s good it’s happened now. It’s exciting. It’s good to finally be coached by Ivan.”
Momirovski, who will continue to commute from the city each day, has no plans of making it five clubs in five years. He simply wants the chance to show his ability on a consistent basis.
“I thought about that [number of clubs] myself, but I’ve only ever made decisions based on opportunity,” he said.
Penrith’s Dean Whare is expected to be formally announced as a signing for Catalans in the Super League in the next 24 hours, but will continue training with the Panthers as he awaits a work visa. Zane Tetevano has continued to train out west while also awaiting a visa after signing with Leeds.
