Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Great job Tigers,added forwards with leadership,size and grunt.Gradually adding much needed speed and skill in JTJ and Laurie. Have classy kids waiting in the wings.With Tamou,Cini,Blore and Laurie we would strengthen our options with further Penrith poachings like Chrichton and we have done it on the cheap.Still plenty of dollars and space for this and next year.This is the best position this side has been in for a long time.

Big mistake. We lost 5 close games last year due to poor kicking.

Momo in his handful of games at Melbourne last year kicked at 83.33%.

Even if he kicked at 75% for WT, we'd be ahead and would have won 3 out of those 5 close games, and made the eight.

**Momo should have had the first crack at #1 this year,** he's got safe hands, great footy IQ and sniffs out tries with ease.

Moses was our best kicker in 2020 at 63.41%. If this continues, we're in trouble -

First crack at 1? Jeez i only remember one time he played fullback and it was horrendous (and i'm a Momo fan). Have to agree with others, he wasn't needed by us this year and Laurie covers what we need position wise. Lets hope he lives up to the hype.

You forgot to factor in the chances of the sky falling during one or all of those games? What if Momo was one of the finishers in some of the tries we scored in the above games mentioned but got run down? (Big chance of that to be honest). Ridiculous post.

Good riddance I say ...
He was surplus to our requirements..

Harsh words Hobbo
I actually liked what Momorovski brought to our club
He always did his job for us
He was solid and a very good finisher
A clean skin unlike many players in the Nrl
I hope he does well as he deserves it
It just sucks its at Penrith

Mate if he was of any use we’d have kept him .
Can’t believe that so many nuffies infiltrate the hearts and minds of some fans...
As I said before he’s an 80’s style player ..
It’s 2021 mate .. get with the program !

If he was a nuffie as you mentioned then why would Penrith be after him
$ wise they were far better off keeping Laurie

We need a fullback and we’ve already signed Laurie ..
Pamfers need a 4th string cup player
Simples .

Hobbo,if Madge didnt hand out an olive branch to JTJ then Momo would be in the centres with BJ,Madge and the Jet go back awhile and he is taking a punt on Jimmy doing the right thing and recapturing his old origin form...Momo is a far better player than a 4th stringer cup player,thats why Penrith want him and Momo can play centre...dont forget when Momo did the swap deal he had a 2 year extention for us when he came back....things change and Momo was expecting an NRL spot when he came back....good luck to him and I hope he does very very well for himself,he is a quality person and I think unfair diatribe cast at him could leave some people with egg on their face....

I thought Laurie was a 6 Playing 1?
Like Scott Drinkwater?
Like Adam Doueihi is soon to be?
I’m holding back on the excitement until I see some game time in Tigers colours.

Anyone truth that the Momorovski/Laurie swap deal set to be confirmed today?


Well it's all over Foxsports - so it must be true.

https://www.foxsports.com.au/nrl/nrl-premiership/nrl-2021-penrith-panthers-sign-paul-momirovski-swap-deal-daine-laurie-wests-tigers-ivan-cleary-michael-maguire/news-story/db7c91cbd711dffc5d65f909a37ac6a4

Excellent news. Strengthens our squad overall


Why would Moma go to Penrith if he wanted to play nrl? Must have been some incentive bucks in the deal?
Anyhow, let’s hope Laurie is as good as his reputation.
Does he play FB then move to 5/8? If so what happens to his predecessor? Does he go to 13?

He’s a centre , Naden has a ban coming , and Tyrone may is a half / 9 . Burton the other choice is on his way to the dogs, so I wouldn’t be playing him , unless of injuries . He’s got a real shot of starting round 1 there in a team who is vying for the premiership. Good luck to him, he did us a massive solid last year and I hope he kills it .
 
As long as we are NOT paying any of Momo’s freight the next two years, I’m happy with that deal... Momo was always going to be surplus and struggle to get a run in the 17(barring major injuries)
Good to see Clearly picking up our dead wood,, one more to go in Packer... come in Iv you spoke
So highly of Packer when you recruited him to the WT... take him
 
This is amazing news if true. Probably our best off season recruitment drive that I can remember. Mbye will be our fullback in round 1. But what this means is that he will know that he has a young gun breathing down his neck who wants his job and it will bring out the best in both of them. Well done tigers management.

We definitely won't be paying any of his wage in 2022 he had a player option to stay here which he obviously won't be taking. Even for this year we are probably just swapping their contracts over

Aren't people jumping ahead of themselves ....official yet ??

Who's that?
Mikey Tannous

Development player who tore his ACL. Not sure the point of the post.

Not 100% sure who that is but it’s not Tannous.

Maybe Anjoul? Definitely looks Lebanese.

Good riddance I say ...
He was surplus to our requirements..

Harsh words Hobbo
I actually liked what Momorovski brought to our club
He always did his job for us
He was solid and a very good finisher
A clean skin unlike many players in the Nrl
I hope he does well as he deserves it
It just sucks its at Penrith

Mate if he was of any use we’d have kept him .
Can’t believe that so many nuffies infiltrate the hearts and minds of some fans...
As I said before he’s an 80’s style player ..
It’s 2021 mate .. get with the program !

If he was a nuffie as you mentioned then why would Penrith be after him
$ wise they were far better off keeping Laurie

They also signed Eiso and Jennings. Cleary has a bad history in recruitment.

Mbye next?

We need a fullback and we’ve already signed Laurie ..
Pamfers need a 4th string cup player
Simples .

Who gives a rats what the Pamfers mindset is .. we’ve got the better deal !

We need a 1 and we’ve already signed Laurie so really there was no benefit imo the Pamfers keeping him ..
Pamfers need a nsw cup player / 4th stringer ..
He ( Momo) couldn’t make the run on side at our club ?
And it’s obviously that his heart wasn’t in it to stay here and work hard for a spot .
Surplus ..

Hobbo,if Madge didnt hand out an olive branch to JTJ then Momo would be in the centres with BJ,Madge and the Jet go back awhile and he is taking a punt on Jimmy doing the right thing and recapturing his old origin form...Momo is a far better player than a 4th stringer cup player,thats why Penrith want him and Momo can play centre...dont forget when Momo did the swap deal he had a 2 year extention for us when he came back....things change and Momo was expecting an NRL spot when he came back....good luck to him and I hope he does very very well for himself,he is a quality person and I think unfair diatribe cast at him could leave some people with egg on their face....

Momo had a 2 year extension before he went .. that was part of the deal ..
We let him go to Melbourne because he’s surplus ..
Jimmy the jet ...”if”....well “if” happened didn’t it and I know who’d I’ve have in my starting side ..
Yeah most likely Momo is a quality bloke but as a first grader he didn’t cut it even with us .
Time to let go of the mediocrity apron stings me thinks !

We rarely agree , but I ? agree with you here . There’s no way on earth we let him go to Melbourne ,If he was at all in our first team plans . He’s caught between generations here .

I’d be surprised if Laurie starts the season at fullback

me too if he'd been here 6 weeks earlier id say it would be a shootout between him and Mbye. But Ivan the terrible is always trying to dig the knife in even further.

Were people really knocking down the door on here to sign Widdop? Seems to be more interest in Hastings on here right now than there ever was for him.

Both have played nrl though . Widdop was excellent for years . I was against signing him at all. But I understood the idea. What has Hastings done ? Dominated C cup , I mean Super league . So what ? We cherry pick the occasional player in a 12 team league with 30 people in each team , plus juniors , and people want to pretend it’s some high standard . Of course there’s diamonds in the rough . But for the most part , most of the guys playing in Super league , are guys who floated around here , or old blokes trying to relive former glories .
I know it hurts for the poms on here , but that’s the truth . It sux because I wish the super league was of the standard it was , as recent as prior to the super league war. But that comp is kicky mouse , because the owners are bush league , trying to hold onto districts ,instead of gaining foot holds in cities .
That’s the truth . No one gives a toss about Wakefield vs widnes . It has no broad appeal , outside those areas .
 
It's official now, welcome to the Tigers Laurie

Edit - not as official as i thought, but penrith have announced Momo's signing so only a matter of time

This is amazing news if true. Probably our best off season recruitment drive that I can remember. Mbye will be our fullback in round 1. But what this means is that he will know that he has a young gun breathing down his neck who wants his job and it will bring out the best in both of them. Well done tigers management.

I say Mybe will be no6 round one with Laurie no1
