Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Georgios]

I believe we shouldn't target big Luke as we would probably need to pay a large portion of his salary I personally think we don't need another edge back row player. we need to work on the spine before the finishing touch of forwards.



Always a TIger.

Would he look good in our jersey?

I’d much rather Payne Haas myself. Not sure why all the fuss over Thompson.

Hass is #1
Stefano #2

I don't understand the fascination with Thompson. We don't need another prop but we do need fast backs and another second row forward.

I think because:

Mikaele- hasn't really progressed well, 1 year deal. Probably a dolphin in 2023.

Tamou- don't even need to detail this one. ?

Musgrove- he's alright, rarely plays tho !?

Offa- seems cool, I think he'll link up with Wayne as soon as possible. Maybe even 2023.

Twal and Ster are great tho.

 

[the_third]

We are short of quality and leadership in the front row. Stef/twal need support. Stef in particular will be the leader in future years, but if we only have those 2, they will get targeted all year. Particularly stef. He’s too young to expect him to carry a pack of soft forwards

We've more than enough depth in the front row. In any case it won't matter unless we change drastically the way we have played football over the last three years.

Cotric .. won’t happen .. he wants to go home he misses his mum‘s cooking .. he’ll be back in Canberra ASAP .. !!

From the DT

Cotric, a former Australian winger, bought a home near Sutherland and wants to remain in Sydney. He wants to renovate his house.

He is also not from Canberra. He is a country NSW product from Cooma.

Canberra is closer to Cooma then Campbelltown .. ;-)

 

[Newtown]

The problem the team currently has is that it needs a defensive but not necessarily fast centre to complement Gildart. Cotric provides that much needed defence in the centre,

I remember that throughout 2005 Wests Tigers played a defensive centre very similar to Cotric. I can't remember his name but he was from Penrith.

 

[jadtiger]

Had a quick peek at the kennel, their forum is split on Cotric being shopped. A few feel like he's been hard done by with the quality of team he's been forced to play with and want to see how he goes with quality surrounding him, while others want him gone simply because of his inflated pay packet.

Also jeez for a team that just won a wooden spoon those supporters seem to be extremely arrogant.

That is normal behaviour for the dogs/eels and bunnies.They really think they are special and that forum of theirs is exactly what i don't want our forum to descend into

Champion @Newtown, I think you're thinking of Shane Elford.
Great as you said with us, and Penrith before.

Elford and Whatuira. Two great defensive centres..

And both ex Penrith

Everyone in the world knows Corric is a winger. He plays on the same side as Nofa.
How is that gonna work?

Here is an idea
hhmmm former state of origin winger in Cotric
replacing Nofo who is on a dud contract
Perhaps Sheens realises the length of the contract is poor

 

[jadtiger]

Because he has the mongrel we need in the forward pack.

He will spend large stints on the sideline because of that mongrel as referees and the judiciary have caught up to him.He represents terrible value for money imo and we should go nowhere near him no matter how much the dogs throw in.
Avoid at all costs,let the dogs wallow in their own cap mess

There’s 0% chance that Cotric pushes Noffa out.

 

[Lukic]

Cotric isn't exactly quick - not much faster than Nofa--Bulldogs targeting speed-apart from his salary I think that is why they are happy to lose him.

Yeah is he even that good, didn't he shit the bed in origin once, think it's a desperation WT Signing.

He was ok in origin I thought, then got injured and was ruled out for the next ones.

I think he's a very good winger, needs to prove himself in the centres. The only thing he lacks is top line speed - ticks the rest of the boxes.

so cotric plays centre, not his best position but I guess we can't say no if he is available

With AD and Talau gone, AJ just coming back from a serious injury and Gildart unproven, we have no centre’s. It’s a no brainer as to where he would start.

He is a rep quality winger at centre he is average, however given our stocks average is better than what we have so he has to be signed
If Nofo's defence is again poor in 2022 then we may see him on wing who knows

I honestly doubt if Nofo will be moved.he seems to be the chairmans favourite(hence the long term deal).Admittedly it is always possible but i would consider that to be one of the lowest possibilities at WT.

I reckon with Sheens back, if nofo plays like he did last year there’ll be a strong chance he gets dropped for a while.
As well as all the pressure on madge this year as well theres no chance they let that many defensive mistakes occur, especially with more options on his side now.

Might be what nofo needs, bring back 2019 nof that ran it straight more often
