OFFICIAL Oliver Gildart

[TigerVinnie]

Putting the benefits we get for loaning them out aside...Do Roosters also have an injury problem? Last time I checked their backline was looking fine...

Defeats the purpose of challenging for a premiership with your nominated top 30 squad and ruins the fairness of the finals when some teams can come in and improve their squads with players who aren't signed to them.

 

[Merlot]

i thought the loan system was brought in as a temporary measure to cover the finals if cov id struck,

Agreed 100%

The fact you have a roster of 30 players that is what you should have to choose from and that is where you balance your roster and Cap. We have lost players and look at us now, even allowing for the improvement we are getting low on troops to choose from. The NRL was also suppose to support development and clearly if you can just stack your side and replace later with some talented players out of finals contention then you will never change the teams at the top.

That is also defeating the tribalism of the sport as Wests would not have wanted to help Manly or Balmain help Souths so why would Wests Tigers want to help others at this late part of the season.

If anything a trade should happen no later than halfway through a season not now.

Yup, I hate this loan crap.

Makes no sense to me that a team can go out and get an advantage just like that.

Though, not really sure how OG fits in over there...

Remember Momorovski in the semi for them when they were decimated with injuries and scored the match winner. Gildart has not been up to it defensively however can attack ok and if you have decent second rowers standing next to you to cover this helps.

Agree the loan is garbage

 

[Moh]

Loans should be negotiated (and commence) at the start of the season for an X amount of time (half a season being the minimum).

 

[TillLindemann]

Yeah the way things are going you'll just see wholesale temporary plundering of good players from bottom 8 teams a couple of weeks out from the finals - can see it becoming a free for all.

 

[clontarfkid]

"loans"have become a total joke..this surely will be the last year that it will be allowed
Having said that,credit where its due..weve now got considerabe $$$ from 2 blokes who were destined to play nsw cup for the remainder of 2022..plus another who dogged it having signed elsewhere
None will be missed,as weve seen from recent weeks..were better without them
I dont believe Gildart or Nofa will return to WTs..hoping so
Hope the $$$ weve saved is invested in buying new and better players,rather than paying out their future contracts which we paid too much for in the first place

 

[hank37w]

Hope, like Noffa, he returns to us a better player. Seems a win-win for both clubs and the young man gets a chance to play finals football with a good team

Yeah, the Bears are a chance.

 

[Moh]

Oh and, why are we being raided for our players 🤣

Robbo saw something in our boy lol.

 

[TrueTiger]

Gildart to Roosters on loan for the remainder of the season....interesting when everybody thought he was heading back to England as he hasnt quite made the impact he was expected to make this year...
source AAP and roar....

 

[Halbrowne61]

Robinson must have seen something that we missed.
Shades of Momo ……
Wonder if he’ll be back in 2023 ?

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

GIldart has some moves on him. Looks good with ball in hand. But gee he can't defend to save his life. Even in NSW cup he was struggling to get his body in the way.

 

[Tiger Woods]

🤔 maybe Oliver will win the GF this year with the chooks or maybe Nofa with the storm
At least they’ll have a taste of finals footy 😭

If the rorters win the comp this year Gildart will be nowhere in sight

Well Gilly scored 5 tries on his debut for the Bears which included 5 line breaks, four tackle busts and 156 running metres.
Handy to have an international in reserve grade.
Side Note:
Albert Kelly returned from foot injury also played very well. Apparently he played in white sandshoes 😉

 

[Telltails]

Gildart is really good with ball in hand. I definitely would not have written him off.

Funny that Matty Johns was at the game and was on the box raving about the Forwards coming through..... Oli got 5 Tries and Matty talking Forwards.
