Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

looking at a list compiled by telecrap in regards to unsigned players for next year....the name that stands out and that we're apparently linked with is scott sorensen.

I didn't mind him as a player at the sharks. Not marquee by any stretch of the imagination but good off the bench and for our depth.

I like the boxing but no
apparently in this fight they are not allowing a knock out so it is a glorified exhibition bout

Lol I thought the same until Mike went out and said, yea nah I'm going for a knock out

An old footy saying, that applies to all sport, “it’s only a trial (exhibition in this case) if you lose.

My opinnon is a no, but ONLY bcos we have limited spots left at this point. Hell I'd rather take esan masters or Corey back at this point over this bloke, but I havent done enough digging into him so apologies if his actually rate-able.

Well we are still in need of some players (should JA be shown the door), so any gooduns are welcome.
We currently have 27 on our roster if you exclude JA, looks like Sirro is a no, so we are after 3.

Hey I saw a few people saying they saw their best of mbye this year in a couple games at FB, do we reckon its gonna be his all year next year?

EDIT: And wheres Douehi playing? I thought he was at his best in centres, doesnt have the pace for FB, lost us a lot of metres with the kick returns, BUT havnt seen him at 5/8 for a full game, keen to see that tbh. Wonder what Madge is up to, seeing as Jock Maddens incoming in FG as well

Mbye is our best Fullback, I think Doueihi has the makings of an excellent centre. He looked great playing at 5/8th in the last round so I would like to see him training there in the offseason and given the trials to see how he will go.

I'd love him to be our fulltime 5/8 IF he can perform there tbh, big unit, slippery for some reason even tho his quite slow

He has excellent footwork at and through the line and eased some of my concerns with his passing game during the last round. I just want to see that is wasn't just a one off and he can reproduce that regularly.

You are so right! Watching some highlight reels now, his footwork is off chops. Also his passing, his done like a midfield pass to a winger before, cant remember which game if anyone knows let me know, but that was young benji like.

Another thing im noting is his defence, great tackles, just wish he was a bit quicker

He started throwing a spiral pass in the last round against the eels, before that his passing seemed to be a bit slow and floaty but those spiral passes against the Eels impressed me.

Great vision speccially that pass at 1:52

The 2 against Parra are the ones I was talking about, especially the one at 1.52 as that is something I didn't think he had. He seems to pass better left to right than right to left.

yea his basically going to be able to fill benji's passing void as he is the same! +much better defence


He seems to defend ok in the line, but at fullback props cab step him and out run him. Mbye is a much better defender at FB.

This is probably the most agreeable statement I have seen here yet, 100%, he can chase down okay, he makes good defence decisions, but his super vulnerable when his doing FB defence, I really dont want him there tbh
. And this might be an un-popular opinion but I did like mbye at FB last year, and I mean it was his original position - maybe his just played out of position for too long.

It’s possibly because he lacks speed off the mark, which is not an issue for Mbye?
You may be right about Mbye just not settling due to his constant positional changes. I realise the popular opinion has him at 6, but imo he’s not demanding enough to control a game .

You talking about Douehi at 6? I have no opinnion of that so far, I just want to see him do it for like 2 games (with long minutes in there, and without benji) before I take a side on that particular debate haha

My opinnon is a no, but ONLY bcos we have limited spots left at this point. Hell I'd rather take esan masters or Corey back at this point over this bloke, but I havent done enough digging into him so apologies if his actually rate-able.

It’s possibly because he lacks speed off the mark, which is not an issue for Mbye?
You may be right about Mbye just not settling due to his constant positional changes. I realise the popular opinion has him at 6, but imo he’s not demanding enough to control a game .

You talking about Douehi at 6? I have no opinnion of that so far, I just want to see him do it for like 2 games (with long minutes in there, and without benji) before I take a side on that particular debate haha


No, I was referring to Mbye at 6. Not our best option imo. But wouldn’t mind seeing Pearce wear 6 for WT and Sironen partner Jo in second row?

Hey I saw a few people saying they saw their best of mbye this year in a couple games at FB, do we reckon its gonna be his all year next year?

EDIT: And wheres Douehi playing? I thought he was at his best in centres, doesnt have the pace for FB, lost us a lot of metres with the kick returns, BUT havnt seen him at 5/8 for a full game, keen to see that tbh. Wonder what Madge is up to, seeing as Jock Maddens incoming in FG as well

Mbye is our best Fullback, I think Doueihi has the makings of an excellent centre. He looked great playing at 5/8th in the last round so I would like to see him training there in the offseason and given the trials to see how he will go.

I'd love him to be our fulltime 5/8 IF he can perform there tbh, big unit, slippery for some reason even tho his quite slow

He has excellent footwork at and through the line and eased some of my concerns with his passing game during the last round. I just want to see that is wasn't just a one off and he can reproduce that regularly.

You are so right! Watching some highlight reels now, his footwork is off chops. Also his passing, his done like a midfield pass to a winger before, cant remember which game if anyone knows let me know, but that was young benji like.

Another thing im noting is his defence, great tackles, just wish he was a bit quicker

He started throwing a spiral pass in the last round against the eels, before that his passing seemed to be a bit slow and floaty but those spiral passes against the Eels impressed me.

not sure if this link works as its fb but >>>

Passes
1:52
2:00
2:18

Tacles
1:30
1:36

Great vision speccially that pass at 1:52

The 2 against Parra are the ones I was talking about, especially the one at 1.52 as that is something I didn't think he had. He seems to pass better left to right than right to left.

yea his basically going to be able to fill benji's passing void as he is the same! +much better defence


He seems to defend ok in the line, but at fullback props cab step him and out run him. Mbye is a much better defender at FB.

This is probably the most agreeable statement I have seen here yet, 100%, he can chase down okay, he makes good defence decisions, but his super vulnerable when his doing FB defence, I really dont want him there tbh

Altho i wouldnt mind technicallly to see pearce in WT colours, its a band aid fix??? Like we need a long term 6, pearce is not the answer. And jesus please i never wanna talk about mbye at 6 hahaha

EDIT: keen to see madden lot of mixed reviews so far?

Thanks Mrs Nofoaluma

Haha its Talau, just wanted to make a note on people who said he couldnt play on the wing

He’s too slow for wing

Maybe! I don’t think I’ve seen him in space so I won’t comment on that, has the acrobatics tho I mean look at that ?

Don't worry you won't lose sight of him if he does get into space, he is slow 🙂


Lol maybe like I said I just dont have enough data to say either way at the moment, his an acrobat im confident in giving him that

Data? How many times have you seen him play? He got put into open space several times last season, including an intercept where he had clear space in front of him. He didn't make it very far on any of those occasions.

Your quite right, he didn't make it quite far, but his on his first year of nrl first grade - all im saying is I am just reserving judgement of my opinnion of him until I see more.

the only stable data I am able to take away right now is "Talau has played played 12 games and scored 8 tries for Wests Tigers in the 2020 NRL season "

Maybe its just analyst talk, when i say not enof data I mean I need more game time of him doing stuff before I can say "yes his super slow"

Douehi is on of my fav WT players, I have no problems saying his a bit a slow poke.


Also saw someone post here that Talau had his hamstring done this season, is that true? All I'm saying is theres too much variables rn to make an informed decision about his pace and position, but godbless his acrobatics > that photo i posted of his try was awesome

EDIT: just making sure > not disagreeing with you! I just don't like making a decision too early around these things 🙂

Nothing wrong with his athleticism at all - he's fit and has a football brain but he's no speedster. He does have the ability to finish a try though, there's no doubting that. Wing just isn't his position but he can do a job there if required. I think he'll be used in the centres for the time being but I think he'll have his work cut out dislodging BJ and if Roberts puts in over the offseason, he's a walk up starter.

Hahaha hopefully BJ fires up like crazy next year with the contract year in place huh??? In re to wing not being Talau's poisition > I don't think you're quite hearing what I'm saying, all I'm saying is I am not going to make a statement saying "talau belongs nowhere near the wing"

He had an awesome year while apparently carrying an injury? regardless I refuse to state his a slow poke till I see him play a few more games.

EDIt: Im not asking him to be put on the wing either, I just simply wanna see how he goes
