Since we r on the subject of dogs

The kennel is warminf greatly to the idea of sending us eirher DWZ or Meaney as a replacement...hell naw

I could handle Meaney. At least he can cover fullback and he’s not on ridiculous money as far as I know

They have a very wealthy family putting money up right now. we can't compete in the 3rd party deals.
Unless Harry cobwebs wallet Trigaboff digs deep it will stay that way.

Harry still puts 6 figure sums into the club EVERY YEAR.

You'd actually be surprised how much he contributes.

 

[Bones]

I'd happily start Momo on the wing in front of Nofa...

Can’t see you getting much support in that, but good on you for having the plums to put it out there.

Momorovski will be at the Bulldogs this year. Madge had told him Leilua and Roberts will be 1st choice centres. Momorosvski doesn't want to play reserve grade. Bulldogs have also offered him more money than what he is on at tigers.

Madge hasn't told him that, he's told him he's a starter and if not at centre, at 5/8. He'll be one of the first backs picked. He's scored 14 tries in 19 games and played in finals for Easts and the Storm. I'll put money on it if you like and despite all the expert opinions in this forum, Madge rates him and that's all that counts. Do you want to put money on it?

He’s not getting picked ahead of Doueihi at 5/8 lol.

He's got more chance of being picked at 5/8 in round 1 than Doueihi has.

I think this is rubbish. Unless we have given him permission how can the Bulldogs offer him more money if he is still contracted to us, not to mention the fact there is more competition for spots at the Dogs? If anything their attention would/should be on forwards

He’s off contract after this year. They could easily make him an offer for 2022, which pretty much always means if he can get himself an early release he’ll have a contract waiting for him. Same with us signing Laurie

He is signed until end of 2022. Zerotackle state it's a players option for next year however the official WT site state he's contracted until end of next year.

He is unfairly bagged on here.

I’ll trust whatever Maguire decides but I must say I’d be disappointed if momirovski kept either Leilua or Roberts out of the team. We have lacked strike for years and these two (at their best) are as punishing as any back in the game. I’ll go further and say if they are our centres for most of the season we are playing finals football.

There would have to be a marked improvement in Leilua’s game, he was next to useless last year. I’d happily select either Momo or Talau in his place right now.

 

[happy_tiger]

Its funny (slightly off topic ) but some fans get excited about a player doing something that represents their club and they think he is coming .......Boulaye Dia who play for Reims in Ligue 1 made the West Ham Irons cross after scoring ....now WHU fans everywhere think he is on the way to London Stadium in the January transfer window

Had to laugh ...it happens everywhere and in every sport lol

My read on Harry is he is not as engaged with the club as he was in earlier years hence why he no longer ploughs in millions. That's fair enough. We should be thankful he still tips money in here and there however I'd be surprised if he could name 20 of our 27 man squad or who we face in the first round.

He never said round 1 specifically. I reckon madden will get a shot

Looking at the WT website, is says he’s contracted for 2022 but it’s a player option. He could talk to any club he wants to right now.

I was having a bit of a dig because Doueihi is suspended in round 1.

Wish we could clone TT.

How good was the TT! One of my fav players ever.

I don't rate Momo too highly but he is much better than Talau. I'd be surprised if Talau remains in FG.
BJ is better than both of them. By a mile.

NRL 2021: James Roberts opens up on Wests Tigers lifeline | Summer Buzz

James Roberts has spoken publicly for the first time since signing a one-year deal with the Tigers after quitting Souths at the end of last season.
James Roberts is out to resurrect his rugby league career, with the enigmatic centre declaring himself fully fit and ready to get back to his best.
In his first interview as a Tiger, Roberts revealed he had rediscovered his love for rugby league after a private off-field battle with his mental health.
“It feels good just to be back,” said Roberts, speaking for the first time since signing a one-year deal with the Tigers after quitting Souths at the end of last season.
“I think this is one of the most excited I’ve been about playing footy.
“I’m really looking forward to the season and really happy with where I’m at.”
Walking away from a $500,000-a-year deal with South Sydney after injury and COVID-19-caused isolation affected his mental health, Roberts began training full time with the Tigers last
week and was back in full flight for the first time since he suffered a season-ending injury in July.
“The body was pretty dusty at the start but it’s coming good now,” Roberts said.
“It’s been really easy to settle in. I’ve just been trying to make sure I do my best at training and that’ll lead into what we do on the field. I’m really into it.”
The Sunday Telegraph can reveal the Tigers offered Roberts his one-year lifeline after the player personally phoned coach Michael Maguire.
Formerly together at the Rabbitohs when Roberts was an NRL upstart, the surprise phone call has reunited the pair after eight years.
“I’ve been really enjoying it so far — it’s been great to be back and under Madge again. It’s a great bunch of boys here and they’ve been really welcoming,” Roberts said.
“Madge has changed a bit since we first started but has been really good to me and the boys here.”
Jimmy the Jet says he’s ready to step up and become a leader at the club.
Roberts also hinted at becoming a leader at his new club after predicting an exciting future for his new team.
“There’s a really good group here and I think we’ll do something special,” he said.
“I’ve been trying to chime in and help some of the younger boys where I can; I’m sort of one of the older boys now which is a different feeling for me but it’s something I’m enjoying.
“It’s good for me to try and lead the way with my actions and help them with that.”
Maguire said he had been impressed with Roberts who spent three weeks with the club part-time before joining the full-time squad this week.
“He has done everything right,” Maguire said.
“And most importantly he looks happy. He has been buzzing about and getting on really well with the boys. He is happy. We all know what he can do on the field and we will give him the best opportunity to do that.”
The Tigers credited Souths with setting up a treatment plan and support system for Roberts that is still in place.

I'll bet you he hasnt played in finals for storm despite your expert opinion on this forum.
Why do his fans need to bullcrap about his career? Last week they said he played and scored in a GF!!

I'll take you word it's a PO for 2022, you seem across these things. It's strange the club never disclosed that.... everything I read at the time was it was a 2 year contract, no mention of a one year deal with a player option for 2022.

 

[Dow1704]

I'm a bulldogs fan.
If in fact we do get momirovski, yous should make a play for meaney. He won't have a first grade spot in our squad soon enough.
Yous would get him pretty cheap, is quick and has looked good at fullback. Dean pay shouldn't of changed him to the wing. Looked like he was starting to find his feet before he was moved to the wing.
