Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Geo]

We need speed around the ruck,as well as attacking skill.I think Simkin and Maddison are the players.

Gee I hope Maddison can play rl cause he sucks at cricket

 

[watersider]

Mansour is a complete waste of cash and a roster spot. Ridiculous rumour and if true Pascoe needs to be shown the door

I agree that he’s not as quick as he used to be but his defensive tackle efficiency is at 81%, Nofa by comparison is 69%. The average for first grade wingers in the NRL is 74%.

The Sauce would bring us some stability and crafty options on our left edge attack, so I’m all for it if he signs.


Mansour is basically Nofa.....with much better D.

I would take him any day over Nofa for 100-200 less.

Seem to always agree with you, but this is way off. Mansour is slower, less elusive, more clumsy and I don't really see how he compares to Nofo except that they both occasionally overplay their hands.

 

[Cairnstigers]

I've said it before.
If mansour is blocking your path to first grade then you're not ready for first grade.
Madge has shown he doesn't care about reputations.

Exactly right. Tigers have for a long time had insufficient depth to put pressure on the incumbents. Madge and Co have made a point of recruiting depth across the roster, so there is both competition and backup for injury.

Madge has shown willingness to drop any player any reputation.

So I don't understand, if someone thinks Mansour is "no good", why he would be an obstacle for "good" juniors. You might even ask if Mansour is reasonable value to both add experience and competition to the roster. And it's this value proposition question that has caused the drawn-out process of determining Mansour's future.

What I do know for a fact is that the club rates Daine Laurie very highly and were very pleased that he agreed to sign on. The question of an early trade including Mansour has been on the table for quite some time.

Why not give Madge a late Christmas gift and let him start working with Laurie now, rather than have the kid bouncing around reserve grade for another year. The Harry Grant trade showed that it's in the contract club's best interests to let an up-and-coming player play grade as soon as they are ready rather than keep kicking around behind prominent incumbents.

At worst we gain Mansour, who is decent without being a bad footballer. And maybe even then it puts pressure on Nofo to sign for a decent amount, or good luck to him if he chooses to leave.

More to do with the fact we’ve already got one young guy missing out most likely, now we will have two with Mansour getting first crack at wing. Could create a situation where we lose a young guy - then Mansour is retiring a year later, and Mansour isn’t good enough a player to warrant that. If Laurie comes too I can deal with it

Who said Mansour gets 1st shot at wing
Wouldn't it depend on training and trials

He’s not coming to play reserve grade otherwise he’d stay at Penrith

Not if he gets an extra year with us
1 at Penrith
2 at Tigers

 

[Cairnstigers]

Trent Barrett has made enquiries about getting Paul Momorovski to Bulldogs for 2021. I have no idea if Tigers are entertaining the idea but Barrett definitely wants him for next year. My source is high up in Bulldogs.

We’ve got a heap of centre and more coming through juniors. We’d be fine if we let him go.



I reckon Momo is a more reliable centre than BJ and JTJ and is far less likely to cost us games than either of the others

Momo not in the same class as either of them

Do not underestimate the Momo. He is the quiet achiever. Not flashy, but a bloody good footballer. There's a reason Melbourne wanted him for Harry Grant, and there's a reason the Dogs want him.

All Melbourne wanted from that swap was the opportunity to give Grant a years experience in first grade. It had nothing to do with momirovski

So we could have given them Reynolds or Packer or Taylor or Jennings ?
They wanted someone they could get use out of

Barrett can go and get well and truly stuffed, why should we help the Bulldogs.

The Mole: Wests Tigers target Cameron McInnes for 2022By The Mole - 14 hours ago

Cameron McInnes was in tears as the Dragons gave a perfect farewell to departing coach Paul McGregor.

RIVAL CLUB TARGETING McINNES

Wests Tigers are set to make Dragons skipper Cameron McInnes as their number one target for 2022.

McInnes met with Tigers coach Michael Maguire at a Maroubra cafe last week - and it's a safe bet they weren't talking about Christmas presents.

The pair have a long association - McInnes was selected for his NRL debut under Maguire at Souths in 2014.

The tough-talking coach knows only too well the all-round value of McInnes, who starred for the Dragons despite another disappointing campaign for the club in 2020.

McInnes comes off contract at the end of next season and while the Dragons are keen to retain him, he is set to test his value in the open market.

With star youngster Harry Grant moving back to Melbourne, the Tigers will start next season with two young hookers in Jacob Liddle and Jake Simpkin.

Maguire wants more experience in the key dummy-half role and McInnes would be an ideal player to lead the talented young Tigers team in years to come.

There is another scenario why we wpuld get mclness

we might have list the services of either simpkin or liddle to another club
Just a thought

 

[isaaktigers]

Time to put everything to rest with “statistics”, between Nofa and Sauce.

These have all come from the NRL website.

Firstly we will start with 2020 first.

**Josh Mansour**

2020, played 22 games, 19 won, 2 lost.

Tackles made: 120
Tackles missed: 19
Tackle percentage: 80.64%

Receipts (ran, touched or caught the ball): 487
Total meters: 4003
Average meters: 181
Line breaks: 21

Tries: 12

**David Nofoaluma**

2020, played 20 games, 7 won, 13 lost.

Tackles made: 89
Tackles missed: 33
Tackle percentage: 67.95%

Receipts (ran, touched or caught the ball): 511
Total meters: 3576
Average meters: 178.00
Line breaks: 17

Tries: 17




Now, we will go to 2019 statistics.


**Josh Mansour**

2019, played 19 games, won 9, lost 10.


Tackles made: 129
Tackles missed: 29
Tackle percentage: 75.23%

Receipts (ran, touched or caught the ball): 372
Total meters: 2951
Average meters: 155
Line breaks: 3

Tries: 1


**David Nofoaluma**

2019, played 14, won 6, lost 8.

Tackles made: 101
Tackles missed: 23
Tackle percentage: 80.91%

Receipts (ran, touched or caught the ball): 344
Total meters: 2170
Average meters: 155
Line breaks: 6

Tries: 8


Other things to put into perspective that people are saying are their age, which is true, when you get older, the slower you get.

Other thing also to remember is that Nofa is a tiger, but by me looking at these statistics, he would be a nobody at any other club.. while at the tigers he’s the #1 fan for most people that support us, but also for the people that don’t support us.

Would I take Mansour for a year? 100%.

The reason why is to get a #1 in the fullback in the trade, but also for multiple people to fight out for spots on the wing.

For me, I’d love to see a few games of Tamou doing the first hit up, Nofa second hit up, Mansour third hit up, Fourth Liddle quick dummy half scoop, passing to Lucy Leilua to Roberts to score..

But not only that, seeing dirty hit ups from sauce and Nofa is the big one id like to see, getting us out of trouble when we’re close to the try line under pressure trying to get out.

Alright, I also did 2018 to give a 3 year statistic on both of them.

**Josh Mansour**

2018, played 15, won 10, lost 5.

Tackles made: 86
Tackles missed: 21
Tackle percentage: 77.24%

Receipts (ran, toughed or caught the ball): 271
Total meters: 2166
Average meters: 144
Line breaks: 5

Tries: 8

**David Nofoaluma**

2018, played 18, won 9, lost 9.

Tackles made: 89
Tackles missed: 27
Tackle percentage: 68.27%

Receipts (ran, touched or caught the ball): 394
Total meters: 2716
Average meters: 150
Line breaks: 7

Tries: 6

I didn’t mind doing this all, probably gave a good insight on how they played and what player they are.

 

[jirskyr]

More to do with the fact we’ve already got one young guy missing out most likely, now we will have two with Mansour getting first crack at wing. Could create a situation where we lose a young guy - then Mansour is retiring a year later, and Mansour isn’t good enough a player to warrant that

That's still my point. If Mansour plays 2 years for Tigers, any kid who misses out is not as good a footballer as Mansour, in the opinion of the coach. If they are good enough, they'll force Mansour out of the side.

I raise a very big question mark over the long-term future of a young winger who isn't better than Josh Mansour by the end of season 2022. And if they are really young, then the existence of Josh Mansour is complementary rather than a hinderance, because they'll get their chance soon enough.

And if Mansour is good enough over two years to keep a very promising junior out of the top grades, then that's a win-win situation surely.

How do we know if they’re gonna be good in first grade if they’re not playing first grade? Mansour will be solid enough to keep his spot and unless they’re absolutely smashing it in reserve grade they probably won’t get a spot in 2021. 2022 is a different story but we might lose someone like Talau by then.

That's the coaches primary function?

How do we know any footballer is good enough to be selected in the side? The coach checks them out, plays the best ones, replaces the ones that don't perform.

I'll say it again, if you don't have form in either reggies or trials or training to oust the incumbent, then there's no point complaining. I'm happy to lose Tommy Talau if he can't cement a spot over Jimmy Jet, BJ, Mansour or Nofo - none of them are world-beaters.

 

[twentyforty]

I’m not expecting too much from this playing roster in 2021. Not until we have a settled 1, 6,7,9 & 13.
1. 1 Waiting for Laurie 2022?
6. 6 Trialing a player who didn’t work out at FB
7. 7 Same player we’re still waiting to own the team, got dropped for poor performance.
9. 9 Same 2 we had up our sleeve last season. One too young and the other yet to play enough minutes to be a threat.
13. 13 Possibly our only strong position. Madge has other solid options to keep Twal on his toes.
I’m sure Madge would like to see these positions locked in, giving the team a platform of stability, and hopefully by the end of 2021 they will be.?

 

[sleeve]

I doubt Mansour or McInnis will be Tigers.Nobodys that dumb not to see these positions are not our main concern,.

 

[Deleted member 3518]

kind of don't want McInnes just will stop Liddle and Simpkin's development

McInnes was on the extended bench for NSW this year. Would do almost anything to block Liddle’s development tbh, I don’t rate him at all and think the bloke has had enough chances. Everyone wanted grub out when he was constantly injured, that’s the sort of gist I’m getting with Jacob. Have McInnes starting at hooker with him moving to lock mid-game to pave way for Simpkin

I disagree with this completely . Liddle is a weapon . It was clear when he returned , how direct he plays as well as his manipulation around the ruck . He puts his forwards onto the ball, and his ruck deception, creates space for his halves who are close to the ruck , especially on kicking options .
And I haven’t even mentioned the thing everyone notices , his speed and ability to get out .
Grants , passing out of the ruck was bog average in my opinion . We went from one of the teams making the most metres , to one of the teams making the least in 1 season . I think that was the transition from Robbie to grant as much as the forwards shat the bed this year.
Grant is an awesome footballer , I’m not saying he’s not, but Liddle is a better dummy half than grant . Grant is a better footballer .

??? we conceded double the amount of points mid-way through the season without Grant and having Liddle in the side. I don’t care if you think he’s good, the problem is **he’ll do another ACL before the first 10 rounds**. Just watch

Thats crystal ball talk
But ? I would like to know from everyone on the Forum, especially those reluctant to sign McInnes , who do we have that is good enough to play Hooker if Liddle goes down in the 1st few weeks
Or do we just write off our season again because there is always next year

Mate I’m all for McInnes . I just don’t think Liddle is rubbish . And I don’t like it , when people death ride one of our juniors , who has been loyal to us , because they’re all googily eyed over the shiny new toy we just had .

The gap between Grant and Liddle is like the San Andreas Fault. One is a rep and future kangaroo star the other the only chance he will get fora kangaroo jumper was when he played for the Wyong kangaroos

Someone needed to say it

two very different players. Grant is more like Smith and Liddle more like Damien Cook. while Grant controlled games through the middle corridor, Liddle will give decent ball to the halves and allow them to control the game, while he picks his moments. yes Grant is the better player but Liddle will be very very good for us providing Brooks and Doueihi steer the side around the park.

I’m still taking Simpkin over Liddle. How many chances are we going to give Liddle? I reckon this is his last chance, one more injury and it’s all over for him imo. Simpkin will be knocking on the door for a starting spot. Just my two cents

Maybe Simpkin will have as many injuries as Liddle has had - once he starts playing with the big boys.

Hopefully not

I'm amazed at comments that the kids are not ready for ist gde.They have gone through the development sytem to prepare them.They are 19yrs old and most weigh around 90kg.Johnt Raper ,12and a half stone,Gasnier went from reserve gde into a test jumper at 19.Brad FIttler and heaps more.They are bigger fitter and faster then previous players.If you don't give them a chance we will lose them.Why do you think we got Laurie ?

John raper , reg gasnier and even Brad Fittler either never did , or rarely played against the monsters of today’s game . Seriously we had an under sized pack this year that most guys were well above the 100kg mark . This year , we will have a pack with guys pushing 120 . It is to this point that a kid isn’t ready . Mentioning a fullback is different to a kid who will spend his whole career in the engine room. It’s not about them being ready next year , it’s about ruining them for thier whole career .
Trainers and staff are smarter in today’s game . Many realise that if they develop an elite player and make sure he has a long career , there’s a high chance they will as well .

And just watch the smaller more mobile forwards come into the game with the further tweeking of the 6 again and re-start rules..

Totally , but the wear and tear on your body having to not just tackle those monsters but hit and stick , move and up and close down the space , is just something previous generations just didn’t have to deal with . So the training and everything around that , strength and conditioning , rest etc. moves adjusts. And it will adjust to this new thing whatever that is. I think the return to the John taper days won’t happen . I think everyone will look for the NFL running back type bodies . Guys who can move laterally really quick , run the 40 super quick and weigh 100kg plus. And with multiculturalism, those guys are out there .

Most running backs are only around 90kg and have zero endurance. I think more and more centres and maybe wingers will need to be in that mold but I think forwards will get smaller and smaller.
If the rules continue to speed the game up I think in 5 or so years there will be relatively little difference in the size of players across positions

 

[Roar_Power]

I doubt Mansour or McInnis will be Tigers.Nobodys that dumb not to see these positions are not our main concern,.

Maybe Mansour but don’t agree about McInnes. Not only is he interchangeable between Hooker and Lock, he is competitive, passionate, a leader and hates to lose. Sounds like Madge is dumb enough to see he would be a quality addition.

James Graham also named his as one of the two best team mates he's ever played with over a 15 year career

 

[Hangonaminute]

Sounds like Madge isn't sold on Liddle either.

I'd take McInnes over most 9s in the comp, the guy is the ultimate competitor.

I didn’t mind doing this all, probably gave a good insight on how they played and what player they are.

Why not add tackle breaks? 2020 nofo had 119 and mansour 69. Thats a huge stat

Also, dont forget its easier to rack up better stats playing for a better team. If your team is always on the back foot, it aint easy to get the run meters or create line breaks. If Nofo replaced Mansour at penriff this year, his stats would be through the roof

There is a reason the club has not played finals footy in 10 yrs .. I have been saying for a couple of seasons the dynamic and the type of player at the club needs to be evaluated and rectified .
You want to be winners you employ winners !

 

[Spartan117]

Age

Josh Mansour on his last contract and the 1 club he has been devoted to has just dumped him.


Alarm bells are ringing...
