When are the WTs back to training etc in 2021?

I would have thought today makes sense, but Nofoaluma posted he was down the coast on Instagram so no clue

Don’t think he said he wants to ruin his career ;P

I think the forwards have what it takes next year.

I would like to share your optimism, but most likely we will be dominated in forwards, as per usual. :confounded:

The club would get a lot more return with him than the club got with the grub IMO.

Michael Tannous looks promising,plus another couple,but as yet to young,.Then we have to keep them as all other clubs will swoop as we have done.Madden may be given a try,and i think Laurie would be great but until we get another FB that will be his position.We all hope Douiehi works out in the long run.

I am bullish on Tannous, much more so than Madden. Seems to have an air of arrogance about his play which is what a good half needs.


I like the look of Michael Tannous as well. Plays very direct with speed. Looks well balanced on his feet and has a great side step. Still young. Not sure what’s happening with reserve grade this year. He is named in the Balmain 2021 SG Ball team but was doing pre season with The NRL extended squad. I’m guessing 2022 at the earliest for NRL?


Madden is in the Top30 and a possibility for R1 depending on trial form. He will have to grab whatever opportunities in NRL with both hands as Tannous will be competing for a halves spot in 2022.

SG Ball age has increased to under 19’s this year. I’m guessing it’s because of how all the lower grades have been disrupted with COVID.

Development players for 2021 are Kelma Tuilagi, Reece Hoffmann, William Kei.
You’d imagine Tannous would get a development contract in 2022. Or if Walters moves to Brisbane, Hoffmann might get a 2021 Top 30 spot and Tannous a dev spot this year as we are thin in the halves. With 3 spots in the Top 30 still vacant anything could happen.

Interested to get your take on his strengths and weaknesses? Have you watched him in the junior ranks?


Sorry, I don’t have any great insight into his strengths and weaknesses. I do know a lower grade coach that is impressed by his game. I did notice from online videos of his games that he has plenty of speed and a great step. 2020 was very limited for live footy viewing.

A good mate of mine teaches at his old school. Said he is an exceptional touch player with really great footwork and ball skills.
His one downfall is his defence which he will no doubt work on during this offseason/season and the next.

Definitely a prospect to keep an eye on but a work in progress for 22/23.

When Tannous left that "old school" he was 65kg he has bulked since (3 years on) and much more powerful and confident. I'm also hearing at the recent NRL pre-season he just completed that he has "Sting" in his defence and whacking front rowers.

Not to undermine you mate , but you know who also has sting in thier defence , Garner . But I’d hardly call him a good defender . It’s not about just walking someone it’s about stopping momentum , filling holes , anticipation etc .
But having the whack is a good start definitely !

Gee,after covering for Benji in defence forever,and JR as well if he misses a couple i can live with that.As long as he can chalenge the defence.

Anyone see the panthers GF content it’s pretty good

And has that got anything to do with a signing, suggestions and rumours thread? Take this somewhere else. Cheers

To be fair there hasn’t been anything on signings or rumours for about 20 pages

taken over by finance

a pom post of some sorts would fix the thread back

heck unban smoking gun

Feels like an eon since there’s been any sort of news about Tigers signing. It is the holidays I guess but it’s very boring 🙁


Kill it with fire!

It’s January 7. Dan Talintyre posted on Twitter a week or so ago.

Just a quick pop in. Feeling better but still a bit if recovery to go.

Mansour will be gone soon. Could be as early as this week.
Tigers are favourites but there is another club in the mix. The other club is chasing another back elsewhere. Depends if they get him.
If he goes to the Tigers the Cini swap with Laurie will be back on the table. Provided both sides are happy with terms. $$

Ivan is playing us for a fool! If we sign Mansour we should get Laurie and keep cini. Then again we’ve got a lot of centres and cini doesn’t seem a long term prospect so maybe keeping an extra spot open isn’t a bad idea

the guy that posted that is their equivalent to the pom. He's very rarely wrong unfortunately.

Flicking through that Penrith forum, the situation with Mansour & Nofo actually makes sense (I still dont want him).

In that forum they are saying there is an issue with Ferguson at the Eels and he may not be available until midseason and that Parra are chasing another player, but Mansour is in the mix there as well.

What makes sense to me is that Parra are chasing Nofo, but will take Mansour as a plan B. Tigers want to keep Nofo but will take Mansour as plan B. Nofo holding a few aces it seems. Unfortunately will probably bump his $$$ up a bit.

 

[the_third]

id rather keep Nofo over mansauce.

Penrith site mentioned Nofo to Eeels as well as Dogs chasing Momo,all rumours of course but these positions don't worry me as Nofa has contract for 21 and Momo is fighting with 4 others for a place,.We have plenty of options for 2022 .

The Kennel insiders have confirmed Momo is a target for them for 21. I feel like dominos are about to fall.

The pom gets it wrong sometimes. These things can change quickly. I hope we don't get Mansour. I reckon we have enough outside backs now. A high quality fullback or edge backrower would be great.
