Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

The other forum on LU saying possibility of a player swap (Packer the player mentioned). They said it was just for a year though.

Edene gebbie MIGHT be a name you hear in coming weeks

Didn’t he only sign with Souths quite recently?

Not too sure but what’s it really matter these days anyway? He’s probably the best fullback and winger at the club. About to see how much they rate him I believe

What would our plans be for him? Short term wing, long term 1 (if the plan is for AD to take the 6).

I don't think you could play him on the wing - he's tiny and doesn't seem like he's got much tackling ability.

Haven't seen enough of him to assess his tackling ability but I can't recall him being overly short. Wiki says 6ft.

He is very fast. Not a great defender. His attack stats are outstanding in Intrust Cup.

JAC and Koirobete were thought of similarly in defence and look what that resulted in

Those 2 blokes were/are still pretty ordinary defenders though.

JAC did extraordinarily well in SOO when he had Mitchell and Walker inside of him. It was a nightmare night but he made many tackles our wingers couldn't due to his pace. This defence issue was the narrative raised time over at our club and look where both players are now and where we are with our wingers. Both were are great finishers from all over the park.

Great finishers yes.
Great defenders....nup. JAC lets as many in as he scores.

JAC missed 17 tackles last season in 23 games (16 tries), was actually reasonably well down the list for wingers
Top try score Sivo missed 23 in 25 games (22 tries)

Our wingers misses: CT (22 games) 25 misses, DN (14) 21
Jennings (18), Momo (11) & Fonua (11) missed 13-16 each although don't know winger/centre split
About one a game for our guys, but one and a half for Nofo

Nice stats mate, good job!

Wingers aren't noted for their defence but I was just countering some of the posters that were insinuating that JAC and Korobeite turned into great defenders once they left WT.

You defend as a unit .....and if that unit fails the wingers end up looking bad

This is additional to the WT / Storm proposal? Wow, we really seem to be testing boundaries. I'm all for it if it's worthwhile to all concerned.

Great interview with Pascoe on the WT site, lots of detail and positivity outlining a "patient and strategic" approach. Well done to all!

I think he's looking at 2 cameras

 

[Cairnstigers]

It's a wonder he has any left after reading this forum the last few weeks

 

[jirskyr]

He's defo going for a pony tail in a few months, gonna look rad, with some high tops and shoulder pads, classic late 80s.

Agree. So when Nofo gets flamed for being a useless defender is that on him or the team as a unit?
