Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Fade.To.Black]

What we need is , CHN in the backrower , I think $400,000 should get him . Find another lock like ELLIOT for about the same money , and a class outside centre or winger for about $450,000 . And I think we could be a force next year , if we keep what got and the prop from the eels comes .

65k for Elliot to put out the witches hats. that's about all he is worth to us.

I'd swap Garner for him in a heartbeat.

CHN would really round out our forward pack. I really hope we get him. Keep McIntyre and Eiso for next year as well.

I really liked eisenhuth when he first played top grade. Then he turned into a real plodder - offered nothing. I thought: he’s done. Not up to standard.
But last couple of weeks he has been brilliant. Really hope he continues with current intensity

He offered the 2nd most post contact metres and 2nd highest tackle efficiency in 2019..I would take that above Packer everyday and twice on gameday..

Jennings has nothing to do with it mate. He doesnt make Nofo miss tackles and make bad reads etc
unlike the blind hatred for Jennings from some on here he has faults like god forbid Nofo does too
Love nothing more than Nofo to prove me wrong and smash out a awesome year but i think we can upgrade for the money spent.

I honestly don’t think Madge will offer the same dollars for Nofo to stay once his contract is up. It will be up to Dave whether he wants to take less or move on. I like him though, a true tiger.

Completely agree he’s playing career best footy. Never expected McIntyre to do so well too. Two surprise packets this year and I hope we keep them both!

Yep you’ve mentioned this before to me re his stats. Can’t argue. I just watch the game and for a long time he has seemed ineffective. Attack not defence. But last few weeks looking great.
Re Packer - at his best very useful. Past his best? Yep!

i just cant believe obtaining two origin wingers is better than Nofo
The loyalty from some is insane

We already have a player like Nofa at the club on the same level as those players many supporters would agree I feel and also the fact he WANTS to be at the club and has proved to be one our best players this year and shows more heart in every game he plays with his dirty runs from our goal line and ability to beat a number of tackles, and the man can also find the try line easily - (one of my greatest fan moments was when the club was in a rock bottom period I think during the Jason Taylor vs Farah days and he scored in the corner with just pure grit while others weren’t even showing any effort at all (cough... Mitchell Moses) and he got up and went straight to the camera and kissed the badge and went ballistic and fired everyone up including myself in a game where no one turned up besides himself and probably teddy lol)

You speak about NSW origin wingers but statically he should be one of the first wingers selected if NSW were picking the team today, we need one winger I agree, however I wouldn’t swap Nofa for anyone bc you can teach skill and he has plenty regardless, but you can’t teach the heart and passion he possesses to have the combination of being skill full and also being legitimately passionate about your club is as valuable as anything and that’s what truely wins premierships

There’s other areas we can spend that money which would be way more beneficial to the club

And this is why we don't play finals footy. We settle for passion over quality. Origin wingers are on less than him but we'd rather have a known, loyal player than try and sign the best players we possibly can. It's a loser mentality.

Until we start making semis ,Origin wingers wont come to WT .for a market price..and besdies,Nofa has outplayed ferguson and a somewhat disinterested JAD this season,and Johnston has only fired up for the first time in years because hes getting punted

An ISP quality player. Refer to BB's comments about loser mentality and settling for passion.

JAC has been very good for a very long time. He is a current SOO and Kangaroo rep. He has some personal issues but as far as consistency is concerned, this is Nofoaluma's first year he has performed well but he is on overs, more than a SOO and Aust rep which is madness.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

But Nofo kisses that badge and he shows passion so lets forget he is in overs and better wingers are out there at the price. As Balmain Boy said it is a loser mentality to not strive to sign better than what we have.

Another silly contract. Have a feeling the club is holding out for JAC and seeing as storm want a player swap or financial compensation we are probably in the best position to give them that.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

mate he is in good coin for a winger yes he has had a good 6 games but been awful defensively for the last 4 years. We have better option out there for the money.
i am entitled to want to replace with better wingers and JAC is an upgrade in my opinion or a cheaper option.
GNR4LIFE show me where Jennings has hurt you then given you knock him all the time too same difference mate
