Buzzard has downed a few and reports in his Saint Sinner Swoooooooosh column that Billy Walters has expressed interest in returning to the Donkeys to play under his Dad..

Im going to put forward an unpopular opinion. I think Brandon Smith would be bad for the Tigers.

He is a great footballer, but as a hooker, I dont seem him as a technician, he is kind of like the Josh Reynolds (except with ability and talent) of hookers in that everthing is about effort and energy, pace. IMO at our stage of play we need a technician at 9. Good service, fast service, run when needed, get players where they need to be.

As a lock/middle forward, again all he has is effort. He is small and will never be elite in this position.

And he would cost us a lot of $$$$

Love the bloke, great player. Not for us IMO.

He would be our best player or close to it. We had an energetic hooker in Grant and he absolutely carved up. It will all depend on how are halves are doing anyway, if they aren’t smashing it then having a hooker who can create opportunities and do a lot of work will improve us greatly. If they’re going well then smith is still a fantastic hooker who’s a great defender can run the ball well and is 100% energy, don’t see how that’s a downside at all. He would improve our team no matter what I feel

He’d be our best player.

People forget how good a hooker he is because he’s been playing as a forward and because Harry is so good as well. He’s got great service, strong defender strong runner of the ball and he’s a ball of energy, only thing I haven’t seen is a kicking game but that’s fine.

He’s a great character he’s someone players want to play with and he’s the perfect fit for us. We’ve got money to spend so money isn’t an issue he just ticks all the boxes

I haven't forgotten how good a hooker he is - I just don't think he is that good a hooker. Someone suggested that he was a Reynolds with more energy and talent - I think that is a good summation.

He is not a great hooker, certainly not in the class of Cam Smith, Grant, Hodgson or Koroisau. He is not a great lock, certainly not in the class of Murray, Radley, Trbojevic, Taumalolo, Tarpine, Finucane, Yeo or Brown.

So a lot of money to pay for a player that is "just a ball of energy" - do we really want another Reynolds - we just got rid of him. we have the best two young hookers in the NRL - that people want to replace.

For the money he expects and demands to play hooker - I would want a much better DH, one that can organise the attack (not sure he can do that) and has a really good kicking game.

I don't think he ticks all the boxes by a long shot.

If you want a better hooker you’ll be needing to sign Hodgson, Grant, Cook, Cam Smith or Korisau. He’s top class, once he’s back at hooker you’ll see it. Comparing him to Reynolds is laughable, the bloke has played for Melbourne and internationally at hooker and killed it. To say he is just an average dummy half is very questionable to say the least. I’m also keen to see how our young hookers go, both have plenty of potential

I've seen enough of Liddle in 43 games to say he is what we are looking for.

He’s no B Smith. Not even close, never will be.

To be honest that are two completely different style of players.

Absolutely. But Smith is an elite NRL player and one of the best in a premiership winning side. The storm lifts when he is on the field. Liddle is an ok player and if he’s our hooker I’m ok with that. But my goodness comparing what Liddle could add to a team vs B Smith is bonkers. He’s so much better

Sweet,give us carrigan and call it a deal 👌

Understandable, Billy has given his all whenever called on, you can't ask for any more

Some crazy claims on both sides around Nofa's ability in this thread. Fact is he is rated at least the 2nd best winger based only on this year's performances. He was also the Tigers best performer according to his team mates. That is also a fact.

No matter how you shape the argument to push an agenda, he is worth a lot to us, and it will be a big coup if we re-sign him long term.

The NSW SOO squad included 3 wingers. There was also Trbojevic who is injured and Papenhuyzen who could fill in if required. Why is it his value is so overstated at WTs? The squad included 27 players so he was not rated in basically two teams worth of players in NSW. Qld have their own wingers.


There is no getting around the fact better skillets are required in rep football and NSW selectors have spo ken.

Don’t care about SOO, it’s all politics. Moylan used to get picked ahead of Tedesco, and Ennis ahead of Farah.

Here are the best players in each position in 2020: http://coupler.foxsports.com.au/api/v1/article/amp/nrl/nrl-premiership/dally-m/team-of-the-year-live-there-are-13-reasons-this-dally-m-night-is-different-from-any-in-history/news-story/7f2168a8fec8027058cfd9e2a3588942

Bang on mate, selection is a lottery, if you are in the circle, you are good, if not, you miss out, basing his argument on origin selection is massively flawed

Not when you look at the players selected to play wing or could in a heartbeat in that squad.

I can't see politics having anything to do with JAC, Tupou or Cotric being selected. I'll also include Trbojevic as he would have been there too had it not been for injury. All deserved selection ahead of Nofoaluma.

You might not see it, but as someone said already, that team lost against the worst QLD side in 20 years. Enough said.

There is not one winger or player who could play wing in that squad that Nofoaluma should displace.

ZeroTackle has Momirovski as having signed with Hull

I’ve heard of money laundering but are we now player laundering through our man Hodgo from Hull


Masterstroke from recruitment getting Hodgo that job at Hull. Would love to see the references he got from WT.

In all honesty I think Reynolds will do well there so it's kind of a win-win situation if he fires there. I want Hodgo to succeed as well. Hopefully Reynolds plays out of his skin and leads Hodgo to a SL trophy.

Tupou almost single handedly lost game 3, JAC left wing, Nofa right wing, would have been heaps better

How can you genuinely say he’s not a good hooker? In his time at Melbourne I’d be surprised if he’s played more than 10 games at the position.

If I’m not mistaken, every game he’s played hooker under madge, he’s been man of the match. There’s been no legitimate fees mentioned yet, all speculation.

Plus you are deluded if you think we have the 2 best young hookers in the comp. Liddle has more games out injured than he has completed passes and even when he’s on the field he’s looked average at best. While I do have high hopes for simpkin he’s played one nsw cup game and that’s it. To say that we’re okay in the hooker position is an absolute joke

Mate, with your attitude - I wouldn't even bother to answer your post.

NB: If you want to comment on Liddle - maybe you should watch him first, you quite obviously haven't. See ya.

I don't agree with Fittler's criticism of our club but he was right on Nofoaluma. For a player with his limited skillset, he needs to do the basics right. Unfortunately he doesn't. Tupou is a better winger and if he was out, Brett Morris would still get the job done.

Brave opinion. I don't think he's a nine. He's a lock and the one thing that does seriously worry me are the concussions. It's a fairly high impact position.

I would still take him and he would be a great fit for us, but I do agree that there should be a bit of caution.

If we can have Jordan riki in return then sure although judging off Buzz’s last Tigers rumour its rubbish 😂

 

[Magpieger]

Cheese would improve our squad. That I believe. But I'm not prepared to throw the kitchen sink at him.
Either we get him for a reasonable amount or we wait to see how our investment in the younger guys progresses and our patience pays dividends. In either case we miss out coz we know someone, somewhere will cough up.

We're done paying overs.

However, I thought I read somewhere recently bout Cam McInnes testing his value on the open market...
I reckon he's equal 2nd best rake in the comp alongside Cookie, with Harry hot on their heals.
If it's true about Macca sniffing about, there's obviously doubts in his mind about staying with St. Gillawarra...however small, still doubts.
He's the kind of dude we need to go all-in for.
But again, this is all dependent on whether the info is correct.

Currently we have no top hooker , but we have two hookers with potential. Sometimes works sometimes doesn't. At least we have Robbie helping them

There is only one solution. Smith has to agree to only play lock except in extenuating circumstances such as injuries or loss of form to our currently signed hookers. Otherwise what's the point of having three first grade hookers in the one side. If Smith doesn't agree - no deal.
