Nick Graham V Braith Anasta

[westTAHger]

Craig Field did not enhance wests-tigers reputation either.

back on topic, Braith Anasta, will at least add some long range kicks & god mid field bombs. Nick Graham could not.

There have been plenty that haven't enhanced our reputation at all. None as bad as Hopoate.

I agree with your second statement.

Braith will go fine in the halves. Just what Marshall needs.
A bloke outside or inside hime who communicates and will run a line.
6 or 7, either side of the ruck seem to be the same things nowadays. At least the opposition will have to hedge their bets on which way the ball is going.

**And in answer to the OP, in terms of money spent and what he added (or subtracted) from our club: you can't go past John Hopoate. He embarrassed us. Badly.**

**With that one incident he did absolutely**. But other than that his performances were fantastic IMO, he was regularly one of our best players. Was unlucky not to play Origin in the years that he was with us.

And with that erased everything else. He did it in our jersey, representing our club. It was shameful. No amount of tries or great performances can change that. He's a complete grub and I still find it embarrassing that he played for us.

Unfortunately Happy was in Townsville that night in a sponsors box Not a night I will remember favourably and Cowboys I was with let me forget until 2005 GF

Fortunately next time I was in Townsville was at Townsville Airport after the Tigers had given the Cowboys a bath on a Monday Night

Nick Graham, Sam Harris and Ryan OHara and Jason Cayless are the dud buys ever.

Anasta should be given a chance.

Anasta was bought by Coach Sheens to play 1/2!!! Not his fault he is trying to play 2nd Row. The bloke is having a dig in a position he shouldn't be playing

Well it's showtime for Anasta.

He hates second row and imo hurts the team playing there.

Fairly certain there was an article a week ago with Braith stating he likes second row - in regards to Miller playing half, he seemed to be perfectly happy playing SR. Could have been lies but didn't strike me like he was hating it.

Nick Graham wasn't actually that bad in the first few games he played for the tigers.
He went massively off the boil very quickly though and that game against St George when he moved out of the way to avoid tackling piggy was a joke.
Ryan O'hara was terrible bar 2 games (one of them against Canberra I think).
Sam Harris would be the worst buy IMO.
He started in the 2nd row in the world cup challenge and knocked on a few hundred times.
Thats all I remember from him - I thought he would be a good buy but he was very poor.
Robbie Beckett & Jason Cayless would have to be up there also.
And the less said about Ben Reynolds the better - hands down worst player in the history of the Wests Tigers - I think we got him from Penrith.
If he never got injured at Brookvale - we would not have won in 2005 as Sheens had moved him into 7.

Nick Graham wasnt good, Ohara had one or two good games & one was against the Raiders @ Campbelltown. Sam Harris was shocking enough said.

How about Tame Tupou and Robert Miles.
