I believe Hetherington has the ability to be a top 5 forward in. RL once he undergoes a Maguire initiation/transition workshop.

Ahhh the classic Madge off-season.
Proven to cure all form of plodderness.

IF Tamou is confirmed, and we’re after Hetherington, how many props would that make for next year? I count 7(not including Twal considering he’s mostly played lock)

Interesting that Hetherington is the Grandson of Bill Mullins.

@THE_POM any idea of what position Talau will end up playing next year?

Good question, surely a move to forwards

Talau has good pace for a centre. I think he has been hampered by a hamstring injury. It's hard to stretch out if you lack confidence. He will be a cracking player at centre. Kepaoa and Talau are a potent combination.

With news of Stains or JAC out the back who would you earmark out of Talau or Doeuihi as the centre?

Hetherington is an impact player like Blore whom we sorely need.

On form it would have to be Douiehi.

Wests Tigers are set to finalise a 2 year deal with James tamou from 2021. Good or bad??

 

[Cairnstigers]

James Tamou has agreed to terms.
2 year deal (possible 3rd option club favour but don’t think that will happen)

Thanks Pom. JAC?

Only a matter on time now ?

Oh boy, it's happening ?

It ain't over till the fat lady sings

Tamou, Staines, and Hetherington sound too good to be the truth!

All I will say is that it is a nice and for WTs, unfamiliar position to be in.

No ahahah this is reliable. This thread is just Tigers fans hoping of signing a gun. This might happen.

And Momiroski?

Surely this means there’s a lack of faith in our dev kids Cini, Bradley, Hoffman?

So how do we fit JAC, Tamou, Staines and Hetherington into our cap next year with a little over $1m available according to reports. Or am I missing something?

Well Tamou is at the back end of his career - the UK is not an option with his family and he'd have to be careful not to outbid himself so to speak. The other three players, well I suspect getting all three may be dependent on Reynolds gaining some commonsense and going to the UK - that frees up enough money. Otherwise I suspect we may snag 1, maybe two of them.

The young Cowboy is physically imposing and could be a beast in the a couple of years but Hetherington hits the ground running and helps our forward pack noticeably IMO, throw in a fit Musgrove as well and we have a bit more intimidation.

Could be, if he stays on the field lol.

What I’m trying to figure out is how the bench would work out. Don’t like the idea of 3 props on the bench unless one of them is a hybrid that can transition to the back row.

We’re still light on edge forwards that can break the line.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

Melbourne still need to get someone before they will release JAC early. Who can they get now that Johnston has turned them down?

It's hard to comment because we only have pieces of the puzzle. Hoffman has a lot to offer possibly moving to the second row in the future.
