On the form of current players, he's going to be playing NSW Cup.

There is no way we can drop Nofu or Simona.

I'm still unsure how Potter will handle Koribete's return.
 
I would even have koro over him, if he decides to place simona in the centres. Better to have options than not! Lets just hope he makes the right one cause if we lose one of these young kids ill be pretty angry!

if we lose simono or nofu im going to be devastated. they have been so good for us.
 
Pat's one of the best back line players in the world. Even though he is playing in Super League he is still in another league of his own over there, just killing it, year after year. Had he stayed in Oz he would have racked up a few Rep games here thats for sure.

Patty will be there before Rowdy and Blake. Potter's got to work with what he has inherited from Mr Sheens, next year he has ordered Big Patty, he hasnt got him not to play. I reckon this will be the last season for these current 2 boys in the centres. They have failed to impress. Bench spots/ 2nd Row or depth will see out their careers at the Tigers or they will move on to other clubs.

With Koro, Nofo, Simona and Patty, Its just too much power, speed and skill to blow to keep a pairing of Rowdy and Blake.

1\. Teddy
2\. Nofo/Koro/ Big T
3\. Simona/Rowdy/Blake/Reddy/Moltzen/Utai/Lote/Brien/Fine/Rowe/Rudolph
4\. Patty
5\. Simona/Koro/Big T

Have said it before and will say it again, Simona is not a center.

Dont really want to but kinda agreeing. Would work a lot better if he were a centre. Why do _you_ think he's a winger?
 
Those 65 meter towering drop outs give food to thought. He's the best goal kicker in the SL as well, and handy under a bomb.

One marvels at the Wests Tigers' addiction to buying old wingers.
 
Suddenly we find ourselves with an excess of good wingers…....Can't see why they would want yet another, be interesting to see how it pans out. I suppose it puts pressure on the centres to perform, which has got to be a good thing.
Geez, the mood has certainly shifted from where it was 6 weeks ago, looking good
 
i think we might lose maybe 1 or 2 of these wingers we have too many that are talented like nofo, koro, BIG T, simona, and as well as pat next year unless they dont resign lote utai and reddy
 
Paddy will be playing centre with either Lawernce but more likely Ayshford moving to the back row
I'd say we would be moving on Utai,Lote & Reddy & either Koro or More likely MrT will be poached by another team which would be a shame but at the same time not the end of the world…...Who ever thinks Richards is a bad signing will be eating there words come next season. The guy is a champion & solid as a rock

Pat Richards would be well down the list of the "best back line players in the world". I could name 50 players who are better than him. He is not a centre, he is a winger who can play fullback. Changing a winger into a centre late in their career is not as easy as changing the number on his back.
 
Must admit i like Simona better on the wing, just my preference though, Richards will be great back up for us & i think Lotti & Utai will be gone & maybe Reddy. I was also reading that the Dogs were sniffing around Korro as well.
 
Well Simona has played the majority of his career either at fullback or centre. He can most definitely play in the centres, as to how good he is at setting up his winger at NRL level we don't know.
 
He's been the leading point scorer in the SL every yr for the last 5 yrs hasn't he? i'm pretty sure he wasn't a depth signing, he'll be there somewhere come round 1 i guarantee it. On the brightside with our depth next yr we probably won't have to scrape the barrel so low that we have to resort to playing Meaney.
 
Okay guys, chill out. We'll see what happens next year!

personally, i think he'll be okay in the back line but what he has been bought for is unquantifiables. i.e. experience, authority that kind of stuff. Kind of like Braith but braith keeps getting injured as he's playing in the back row at 32\. Pat will hopefully play wing or centre, which is less strenuous.
