Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Russell]

I would say the Mansour talk is just trying not to burn bridges incase Nofo deal falls through. I don't think we have any intentions in Mansour once he resigns which most people believe he's close to.

I don’t think one relates to the other

Nofoaluma is a right winger
Mansour is a left winger
Both bring the ball back hard
Both solid wingers
And not a bad combination on our edges
I wouldn't be upset getting Mansour at all for a year or 2 max

We dont really have any world class players in our team and I don't think we should be paying a million dollars for one either
A couple of players on the edge of greatness would be good
If Nofoaluma sticks around, and we get Mansour along with the fullback we signed from Penrith or Mbye, I wouldn't mind going real hard for both Crichton and Staggs
That would have to be close to the best back 5 in the Nrl
Then If Doueihi can kick on in the halves with Brooks, our one to seven could be set
Our Front row looks great on paper
We have two quality Hookers to choose from
Only real weakness would be our back row but I think we could find someone from within
Lj has one spot so really just after one more good back rower as we have a little depth in Garner

Crichton and Staggs would end up being just as good if not better than Gasnier and Cooper
Or Ettinghausen and McGraw

They would form a lethal combination

Mansour would be a retrograde step and all the good work done by the WTs would be undone. We don't need another slow winger who can't tackle. We already have Nofoaluma. We should be working overtime training our best youngsters to ready them for the NRL. Kepaoa. has already demonstrated he can score tries Nofoaluma can't because of his pace. Pace brings a whole new dimens ion to both the attack and defence.

Mate!!!!

Nofo scored 17 tries this year - but he can't score tries.

Give us a break ... I know you don't like him and you want a young bloke in his place .... but really, let's not make things up.

Not everyone can score an 90 metre try, in fact very few.


How many did he let in? The support you give him you would believe him to be the complete winger. Do you believe at 27 it is too much to ask of him to be a competent defender? Don't you want our team to improve? I do not support WTs because Nofoaluma is in the team. Have you ever wondered why he has not played SOO. I note you don't mind putting the boot into JAC . He is far superior to Nofoaluma. That is the reality.

Now hang on a minute, you said and I quote ***"Kepaoa. has already demonstrated he can score tries Nofoaluma can’t because of his pace."***

Doesn't matter if he let in 400 tries in one game, that was not your statement - YOU SAID, he can't score them because of his pace.

I pointed out that he had scored 17 tries this season. I think that is proof he can score tries with/without pace.

Put the boot into JAC - yes because he is screwing us around for the second time - he either wants to play for us or he doesn't. I don't care how fast or slow he is, I don't care if he wants to play FB / Winger or left right out, I don't care if he has family issues, I don't care if he wants to stay in Melbourne, I don't care if he is far superior to Noffo in your eyes.The question is ....Do you want to play for the Tigers JAC? If you do, why did you not sign for 2022 at least.

I don't like guys who play you for a sucker and get away with it - he is just another Latrine.

Kepaoa has demonstrated with his pace he can score tries Nofoaluma couldn't or, Nofoaluma couldn't score some of the tries. kepaoa did because he does not have Kepaoa's pace. That is significant normally but amplified as the game becomes faster.

You have overlooked Nofoaluma's defence (again) Not much point as a 27. year old with numerous NRL games scoring 17 if more are scored against you. Someone posted the number earlier in the day.

Once again you have misunderstood - we are talking about Noffo scoring tries. You said he couldn't score tries.

You have then qualified your statement to say "Kepaoa has scored tries Nofo couldn't."

That's a maybe - don't think he has in the NRL - I would also say that some of the tries Noffo scored this year, Kepaoa could not have scored.

We are not talking about defence. That does not come into this discussion.

It's clear what I have written and I have written it more than once on this forum.

Kepaoa has scored tries that Nofoaluma couldn't because he (Nofoaluma) lacks the pace to have done it.

It is useless continuing this discussion - all you can see is "Pace" and "Juniors" to the extreme and against reality.

However, that is ok, it is your opinion. You have stated it a number of times as you have said, I do not agree with your summation of Noffo, his try scoring ability, the contract price he should receive, or his loyalty.

Let's leave it there, shall we Paws.

I just don’t see the need for Mansour, we have Nofa, BJ, Tommy, Momo, AJ, Hoffman,Kei and at a pinch Cini.

Would you take him if it meant getting Laurie early though? Kind of like when the Sharks got Fafita for taking on Gibbs.

No. He would block the progression of one of our younger players, take up a top 30 spot and $. Laurie is on a development contract. To retain him at the Panthers, imo they would need to upgrade him to a NRL spot and contract which would place further pressure on their cap. If they cannot do that, he should be released. We have Mbye.

Totally agree.

I'm excited to have Laurie, but he is still a rookie. He is not tedesco or a proven superstar.

Would rather we are patient for the 12 months if we have to be, than take on Mansour and his terrible contract. That is why penrith are trying to bundle them. Let them struggle with their cap.

And agree, he blocks the progression of the current youngsters.

The problem is we have 3 positions to fill
And must spend 95% of our cap
Obviously there are a number of ways to do this
I am not certain of the cut off dates for signings

So we wait and hope for a superstar
Sign 3 young guys
Or cheap experienced heads
Even a combination of the above

I would hate to be a coach
The back lash they cop and pressure to succeed

I wonder who people think is the better player

Robert Jennings
Josh Mansour
Jordan Rankin
Mwz
Mahe Fonoa
Keith Lulia
Kevin Naiqama

All wingers

Actually that's a terrible list of players
No wonder people expect better

Whatever people think of us signing Mansour, to have him on that list is ridiculous. He’s somewhere between 2 and 10 times the player of all of them.

10 times ... turn it up !
He blends right in if you ask me .

10 times is being very generous to Rankin.

I’d have Rankin ahead ..
At least he could kick goals (sort of )

Oh wow, after such a long history on the forum, all your credibility is lost from one beyond ridiculous post.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

ZeroTackle has Momirovski as having signed with Hull

If true, another great result. Up against it getting first grade gig here

Second part is true, the first isn't. He's a very capable player and will be good to have ready to step up if BJ or Jimmy don't fire.

Don’t think so ..

Mansour is just looking to top up his pension ..
He turns like the Titanic , he’s slow and has feet for hands .
He’s on $500k and wants 3 years ..lmao
We don’t need him , the majority of peeps on here don’t want him ( except you) and finally why should we help Penrith out ?

I’m glad you’re not pulling the strings at Concord ?

 

[Hangonaminute]

Getting B.Smith will be the difference between us being a top 4 side or being a bottom 8 side for the next 10 years.
Imo we can't wait 3yrs to see if one of our current 9s is a rep player then go looking for one if they're not.

This is the biggest get the club could pull off for a long time

Disagree - he is not as good a DH as Liddle - good at a lot of other things but his passing from the ruck is rank.

Thats why he plays for NZ and Liddle struggles to make a side that has finished out of the 8 for 2 decades

 

[WT46]

Imagine picking Rankin ahead of JAC..

 

[Another Pom]

Brandon Smith is quality. Drop him in our team and it instantly improves us. I prefer him at 13 but he still goes very well at 9.

Having the option to move him to 13 and then freshen up the ruck with Liddle or Simpkin coming on, against tired defenders would be a nice option to have. Having said that I don’t see him coming here when he will have the majority of teams to choose from.

He's a smart footballer as well. Are we making room for someone?

Would love to see a fit and injury free Liddle at 9 and the block of cheese at 13.
Very impressed with the way Liddle came back after a very long lay off.
Simpkin still an unknown quantity as far as I an concerned, but very happy if he kills it and gives us even more options.

You seem a bit confused, perhaps you’re getting things mixed up from a separate debate with someone else.

I simply commented it’s dumb to even compare Mansour and his career to anyone on that list.

You then stated that Jordan Rankin is a better footballer than Josh Mansour. So yes I’m sorry but for anyone that knows footy in the slightest your credibility no longer exists.

[Jedi_Tiger]

If smith signs and insists with playing hooker then what do Wests tigers do with Liddle and Simpkins? Quandry?

Simple solution. Don’t sign a player that insists on anything.

Geez this Smith story has spiralled out of control. His manager must be licking his lips. Never before has a bench hooker garnered this sort of over the top attention!

At the moment Liddle is only signed to end of 2021
if we signed Brandon Smith then Liddle would probably move on

 

[TonyTiger]

Can someone please confirm whether we have signed Edene Gebbie or not?
I see conflicting stories about him being signed and others that he’s gone ‘missing’ ?
