Why on earth haven't we locked up Olam yet?
Naden is a frustrating one. Think he has all the attributes to be an elite winger and a solid centre. Injuries and playing in a poor backline obviously haven't helped. Make or break year for him I think
Ive said it a thousand times but il say it again. So sick of never having decent centres.
Can't believe they would be entertaining AJ in the centres next season - although it's pretty slim pickens for the outside backs.
Some really scary thoughts AJ in the centers and can't exactly what Staines has done to prove he is a1st grade quality winger and Naden spends as much of the season off the off the field as on it due to suspension or injury . IMO Toa is potentially a classy center as I still remember the day he made Val Holmes look silly .Bula is a future Great but that's about it .
Depends. He’s probably still the best option to try and win a couple of games with.
A couple…however by this stage of his development he should be capable of winning us games with a bit of regularity.
Agreed. He has a high ceiling but is still learning the game. He can learn playing for the Magpies. Could eventually get a spot on the wing later in the season if/when he looks ready to make significant contributions.
Spot on Tucker, if the kid wants to sign else where, good on him. We need to focus on ourselves and do what is in our interests. He should be left in reserve grade and not be helped in his development if he's leaving.
I agree, but we will have no choice.
Agreed. Let him rot.
Who do you think that might be, as a matter of interest? Because I haven't seen or heard anything to suggest there is a good, first-grade ready centre floating around in the Tigers' junior system. Do you know different? Do you think Bula just appeared from nowhere, like one week Sheens said "I'm gonna pick this Bula kid, I don't know anything about him but let's roll the dice" and he turned out to be really good?
Im with you Tucs. Its about time we start teach the dipsh#ts that it is an honour to play for the Tigers. He took all the development the Tigs offered & never paid back. I would have him clean the toilets after the KEO cup games next year. Teach him some skills he will need when the when he wont make the squad with the dolphins.
Common sense. There’s no point spitting the dummy and saying stupid stuff like he’ll mow the lawn like some egotistical chairman. If he’s one of our top two wingers or centres then he should get picked. We’re light on for backs too?
I think the Centre from New Zealand will be part of the Wests tigers centre pairing.
Why? He’d be on not much more than minimum wage right now.
IF he doesn't put in then he will be dropped. As previously stated, the club have good replacements to fill the void.
