Maybe if he comes back, we can trade him for a better player.... again ?
Yeh, we really stuffed up the last swap deal
I think we Stuffed Paul Momirovski! The Swap deal was semi-smart and worked.
So hear me out.
We go "James Roberts and BJ Leilua are our backs".
Momo goes "hey I am a first grade starter" after playing with Melbourne.
We go "no you are not, you wait behind Roberts and Leilua."
Momo was then vocally unhappy!
Unhappy momo for Daine Laurie 100% makes sense. It will take Daine time to gel at Fullback but he is a keeper.
We stuffed him around. Momo went to Melbourne and built himself up. Bellamy sends him back up. We treat him like a third wheel on his return.
No one thought "where does Momo fit". Why wasn't James Roberts put to Fullback? we killed our growth opportunity and so we look stupid. Now we have the same situation this year and people want to hire a center.
"history, never repeats. History, never repeats".
We made the right decision.
Disagree. That's ok though.
Getting Laurie early was crucial in my opinion.
I know you think that, that's why I said ok.
I don't think it made a big difference getting him early.
I will agree with you.
Had Laurie stayed at Panthers 1 more year he may have gone in for Dylan Edwards.
Keeping Momo in the Centers would have allowed him to partner with Nofo and Doueini.
Laurie is ours, were his club. 100%. Once we put Momo on the outer, without him playing a game we stuffed up.
Swapping Momo for Laurie at that point makes sense. But we should always have had Momo coming back to the full time squad.
If we played James R at fullback (or got BJ into the second row/bench rotation), kept Momo at the centers. We would have a better backline then we do now.
St George have paid big $ for Suli. I think teams are recognizing how having the same backline and a strong backline is necessary for Defense. We keep changing, people don't know their combinations, we will never get there.
