Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[pawsandclaws1]

Talau has demonstrated that he is a good finisher when put into a little space. He needs to work in the off season with a professional sprint coach and improve his lateral movement. Being able to defend in the centres is the no 1 priority. Being able to hit a gap at pace and set your winger up is the next priority. Good ball skills and being aware of those around you is another. He is a centre but ended up on the wing due to lack of quality in that position. He did well. I'd like to see him paired with a really pacey winger and then you will see a different player. He has a great future at WTs which is why the Storm chased him.

Agree totally Paws.

Why some people on here want to turn centres and wingers into back rowers all the time just absolutely astounds me.


I think its because they are not quite good enough at centre or wing.

I am confident the Talau we see next year will be a revelation. With new appointments in coaching and development I hope the gap between WTs and the Storm in terms of junior development/learning/skills is matched. That Talau was identified by the Storm suggests that he is highly rated. So it's down to club development and his will to learn and improve.

Mbye is a good bench utility. Use him like Melbourne use Nicho Hynes, fill in wherever is needed

Thats not the problem with Mbye. Its the contract term and dollars. One of our worst signings in WT history when you also include the fact he doesn't really hold down any position of his own...

I agree but in regards to what position he will play next season I think that’ll be his best spot.

Centre is one of the toughest positions, in defence it’s probably the hardest. Not many world class centres just look at origin we’ve had fullbacks and halves playing there for both teams.

Young fellas that are at centre will always take time to develop particularly in defence but you have to keep going otherwise you lose out on quality players playing there for you

Watch out also for Rizk, who is very quick, strong and. has that ability to break the defensive line. He is solidly built and represents the new wave of WTs' backline talent.

On this years efforts I can’t see BJ getting a gig bar injuries. He was lots of rocks mixed with the odd diamond. Talau,Momo and Moses M must be in front of him. Another big contract for the shopping list

Still curious to see what’s going on with Momers. Technically is still off contract in 2021, maybe they’ll announce him coming back after the final? Seems so strange they’ve left it this long

Will Robbie Farah be working within the Australian Lebanese community for recruitment if he takes up his role with WTs?

thankfully 2022 is in our favour. will be interesting to see how he goes playing for a contract next year.

I thought that he had to sort out a new contract as part of the swap conditions?

I mentioned in an earlier post I had read somewhere that Momirovski was "released" - cant remember where I saw it but it has been very quiet re him and 2021....

There was a Tweet from Justin Pascoe months ago confirming that WT had re-signed Momorovski for 2021..

 

[TigerTone]

Momo will be back for 2021.

Arggh we need to sign someone.....
Need something to keep me entertained this off-season.

Just don’t understand why they wouldn’t confirm it officially that’s all

With McIntyre and Seyfarth both looking like staying on there’s not much room for new signings. Horofully JAC and some decent rookies fill those last couple spots

Maybe they thought it was in bad taste to announce a signing for a player that's about to be elsewhere for 12 months.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Mmbye the perfect utility for next year if we get JAC
Where does Momo fit in ? would think he gets a spot ahead of AJ whether talau has to take a wing spot and Mommo to centres

get the feeling we might try and get some of our business for 2022 done right after November 1. it'll all explode again after next week

Adam Blair says hello.

Wasn't Adam Blair half the price? Still useless...
