He will be lucky to be picked at centre. Leilua and Mbye will be first picked. The only way Momo is in with a shot is if Mbye has to play 9.

This is the way I see the situation as well. Momo is playing pretty well but he is being judged as a new player coming into first grade with no hype. Mbye is being judged as a million dollar player. I think if you look at their performances and not the dollar signs Mbye is by far the better player.

Honestly it is not even close!

Why are we offering Jennings to chooks and not Momo ? According to some insiders on here Robbo loves the guy.

Because we want Momo.

Why are we happy to lose him for a year then?

Melbourne needs a back, we need a hooker. Melbourne obviously rate Momo or him going there would have been knocked on the head by them straight away. I'll give him one thing, he doesn't look dangerous, but he has an uncanny ability to find the try line. He also has a good head on his shoulders which was proven by the early shocker he had with us, yet was able to compose himself and turn it around in the same game. That is something very, very few people can do. He will be a cult favourite at this club.

Totally agree with that ..... lots of successful players have made it on what’s between their ears rather than anything else. And I believe MOMO is one such player. Definitely a keeper.

I think we probably offered Jennings to Melbourne and they laughed, hence having to offer up with Momo. Maybe Robinson has a different perspective on Jennings.

Momirovski looks bigger , stronger, faster than last year. Love what I'm seeing of him in the 9's. Don't let him slip away!!!

He looked slower to me TBH. I wouldn't have him starting the season due to that.

I agree. Just don’t get the hype.

I don't see the 'footy smarts' either.

Neither do I. I don’t see the appeal. Not fast, doesn’t really bust tackles. Can’t see him in the 17.

But he manages to score tries easier than anyone else in the team.


All 8 of them.

This forum knows how to hype a bloke.

That's in 11 games.


Yep. Where do you want to start? Should we start with 8 tries is a ridiculously low amount of tries to start hyping a bloke as "***the best try scorer in the team***" (in a team that contains Benji 82, Lawrence, 84 or Nofo 57) or start with how ridiculous it is to hype a bloke who has only played 11 games for us and 13 in his life.

Kid is a first grader no doubt but the hype is ridiculous. He is definitely not first centre picked and would be lucky to get picked at centre at all. Will have to beat Mbye and Talau to get it. He might and I hope he goes onto great things.

At this stage - he is twice the centre of Talau and Mbye is not a centre by any stretch of the immagination, he isn't anything - a typical player that can play a number of positions and not be great at any of them.

Come back to me when you work out when Benji, Rowdy or Nofo scored 8 tries in 11 games. Forget how many tries they scored or how many games they have played. Just answer t he question.

Would be lucky to get picked at centre at all - surely you jest!

He will be lucky to be picked at centre. Leilua and Mbye will be first picked. The only way Momo is in with a shot is if Mbye has to play 9.

The only way Mbye will get the centre spot is because Momo is injured. Lucky Mbye.

Sorry Russ but that’s not true. Mbye is a far better centre. Faster, more skilful, better defender. Momo was never getting the centre spot ahead of him.

This is why the trade works for everyone. We need a 9 and they need some outside backs. It doesn't mean that Momo won't end up our first grade centre in a couple of years time.

He'll end up our centre in 2020, don't you worry about that. Swap will be off.

Because we need Momo but we don't need Jennings.

Well I watched the 2 games Melbourne played at he 9's.

Maybe I am the only one who thought Grant was pretty average. Reasonable service from DH, average defence, what about a kicking and running game - didn't see anything to write home about.

I'd be very happy for swap to fall through. Momo would be more help to us getting to the finals than grant.

You would have thought Grant was Smith (without the dirt) the way everyone was talking him up.

SUPER HYPE.

To be honest Russell I thought Grant’s service out of dummy half was exceptionally quick. Didn’t notice defense.

I just googled him. He’s 23. I thought he was 18 or 19.

Yeah I was watching him too after the effort he put in last year seeing if Melbourne were gonna have another talented FB on their hands. Didn't do anything too special from memory.

interesting nobody will swap Nofo with us .... why coz he is average defensively

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

ZORBA on BSB Sunday saying a player manager is to be suspended for 2 years (probably announced this week) a lot of players without a Manager come on down Phil & Bwaith.
