Paseka Released

Big guy who monstered smaller opposition in juniors but everyone is now beginning to catch up size wise.
If Manly want to pay overs for him and he doesn't want to be here let him go.

Silvertails forum has some intersting discussion on this young lad, http://bit.ly/2omSpNs

Now isn't that interesting - great pickup DonnyBrasco.

Maybe we aren't completely stupid after all.

Wanting overs, and then won't do the dirty work? I'd pass on him too.

This is the interesting stuff, rest is just reaction to the rumour about Paseka and a hundred questions "what is he like" responded with "here look at youtube".

The bloke can't / won't tackle, other than in patches and won;t get down and dirty in the forwards battle. Very much in the Dave Taylor category. The Tigpies have invested heavily in trying to remedy that without success. They have had one on one coaching, the lot and the bloke still thinks it's touch footy. Ultimately the Tigpies concluded that he wasn't going to be fixed any time soon and he was frustrated because he thought he should be playing NRL. He requested a release because he had been told he would play NRL this year and the Tigpies have not yet released him, but probably will.
\

_We don't need another TRex but on the positive side the Tigpies are a basket case. Maybe in a more stable environment he'll kick on, Sironen seems to have flourished since he's changed clubs._
Yes T-Rex is another example. I really don't want another T-Rex or a Dave Taylor, but I am assured by my Tigpies mate that's what we are getting.

Ralphie is right, this kid needs a lot of work defensively. His missed tackle count is horrendous.

Hearing the same, big guy with no heart. Likes to run the ball but hates the tough stuff. We have a few young stars that need a kick up the backside, why sign another. No way near ready for NRL, JWH and co will eat this gentle cat alive. If you want a big guy with heart and aggression look at the Broncos Payne Haas. Tigers rated Thomas Mikaele a better prospect and value going forward. Would have rather we resigned Bainbridge and Parker.

Thanks
Saved me from doing the hard work
 
He is gone. Move on just like he did. Someone made the decision to let him go. Wish I knew why but won't lose sleep over it.

Didn't they say not to believe things that you see in the papers, or hear. Because the club will make announcements if it's a correct rumour( or something similar?
The club Is a bit slow maybe.

True, but I guess they have a fair bit on their plate just now. Shame about Paseka though - I would have thought he could have developed into a commanding presence on the field. But there have been plenty of 'giants' who for one reason or another ended up 'nuffies'.
That monster that made his debut under Sheens - can't remember his name - comes to mind. Could have been anything.
Anyhow….
 
A lot on their plate when all it takes is a one line email from CEO to Media Mgr saying 'announce Paseka departure on website'
A bit of courtesy goes a long way

Would never have called The Grobot a monster.

True there's a lot happening but it doesn't take that long to put out a press release. Supposedly he's in our top 25 NRL roster. I think people have a right to expect they'd be informed of such things.

Exactly. Plenty of people have asked through official social media and received silence as a reply. Getting pretyy standard for the way the team treats its members.
 
Think the club is starting to refine the roster, clearing out the dead wood and providing roster space for some quality players to come.

This is just another step.
 
Time for Rumour to be taken off the title. Care a similar amount to my reaction whilst reading the latest Farah thread, which was a long and loud yawn.
 
We don't know what the club is doing in the background, they could be freeing up some cap money to buy a current NRL player.
Who knows everyone on here is second guessing why he was released or that's going on with the club, hopefully the club knows what they are doing/planning.
 
Well he's gone and didn't make a difference for Manly this arvo. End of thread.
