Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Ultimate Warrior]

Wasn't too keen on Naden at first, believing he had issues that we didn't really need to deal with on top of all the other issues we have.

On reflection, I guess if we got him at the right price the risks may very well be worth it, once again, only if he came at the right price.

Then something came to me, and that being that one of the reasons Naden is not playing first grade can be attributed to Penrith signing Paul Momorovski.

Now I've always rated Momo but many on this forum have never really appreciated Momo's smarts or the contributions he has made to this team, some of those contributions being while he wasn't even playing for us.

Think about it.

Thanks to Momo, we get Harry Grant in 2020.

Thanks to Momo, we get Daine Laurie for 2021.

If we get Brent Naden, then Momo has one way or another made a contribution towards that.

I would go so far as to say that Momo has been one of the most valuable players we have had, even when he wasn't playing for us.

Thanks Mrs Momo

No problem, come again anytime.

Oh, and you forgot to leave the negative rep.

Surely tuki offers more on bench then any player on the current bench does baring Stefano

I would give tuki a go on the bench
If he can do what Stefano has done in his short time with us then our bench would be one of the strongest in the comp
I was a little disappointed with Musgrove on the weekend but 1st game back so will give a little leniency
Ofahengaue also needs to produce more meters
Musgrove needs more tackles
Our team needs to share the load of work to be more efficient and effective

On the weekend
D. Klemmer 197 meters 37 tackles
D. Saifiti 162 meters 27tackles

2 man Total 359 meters 64 tackles


J. Tamou 76meters 26 tackles
Z. Musgrove 97meters 8 tackles
J. Ofahengaue 59meters 20 tackles
T. Mikaele 32meters 14 tackles

Our 4 man total 264 meters 68 tackles
I would expect more from our big 4

I know I left Stefano out who was our best but he is also our most inexperienced

Can you point me in the direction to where you find those stats, I’d be keen to see what the others were ty


Cheers.
I thought we'd had Klemmer contained quite good and struggled more with Saifiti - as he tends to offload and we were clearly trying more to stop that when tackling him.
Surprised with Twal's stats and must say I've noticed a bit of onfield leadership from him of late.
Good metres from Luciano but have been worried a little about him, as besides the defensive issues (which I believe can be sorted going off Gardner's turnaround) notice he's being heavily targeted in games and not sure if his confidence is a bit down. Can't wait to see him back to his best, as I love the energy he brings to the team.

Warriors I notice have a few players leading with [PCM](https://www.nrl.com/stats/players/?competition=111&season=2021&stat=1000112) with Twal in the Top 50. We're coming 13th and 15th however with PCM and run metres collectively as a team, which is a little disappointing considering we've now got some [size](https://www.nrl.com/news/2021/01/11/super-sized-warriors-revive-2002-strategy-with-nrls-heaviest-squad/).

Crazy meters for knights

I know right.
But guess it's what you do with the ball as Bunnies are 16th with PCM and 13th with run metres... though Adam Reynolds kicking game is first rate and helps a lot.
Noticed he is sitting 4th with kick metres while young Kyle has made a whopping 260m+ more than him. Haven't really watched the young fella tbh so was shocked to see him produce those sort of stats.

So it's more the playmaking?? I guess.

Newcastle errors largely kept us in the game. Those stats show we still have alot to work on in the forwards. LL copped a fair bit of criticism but he works harder than anyone else.

 

[Magpieger]

That Eels back-rower, Kaufusi I think, has been killing it. Possible 13 option?

 

[Magpieger]

This should come under "Signing Suggestions and Rumours" thread, but the fraternity thanks you for your time, effort and contribution.
Go Tiges!
Edit: I strictly only represent myself and my three personalities.

 

[TillLindemann]

Tigers after Brent Naden for this year, likely to play on the wing according to Chammas

Well Naden is good for finding the line or a line

Signing Naden would put the Icing on the cake

I don’t know if I could support such a Bogan.... I’ve always wanted up smack his head in!
Didn’t he fail a drug test on Grand Final night?

That’s a pretty disparaging comment “Bogan” why use that particular word because he comes from a regional area?

I am so sick of the word 'bogan' being used as an insult, it's such a snobby attitude. Sneering at working class or regional people is for some reason a socially-acceptable form of prejudice.

 

[rihannafan1]

Saw the stats yday and scratched my head at how we won. The errors and surprisingly, our kicking game are what saved us.

[Abc](https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-03-28/nrl-scorecentre-titans-defeat-cowboys-wests-tigers-beat-knight/100029114) stats tell a different story.
Just went to check on foxsports nrl site for the team stats which still has Aloiai in the Wests Tigers player list ?

That's because he doesn't want to admit he plays for Manly
Have you seen where they are on the ladder
Dead last
Nice move Aloiai ?

Either show complete stats or nothing.

Klemmer played 72 mins, most of our props played 30-40. So of course he made more total metres. Our backs also take 3/5 hitups per set so forwards only get two between them usually.

This is pretty basic stuff here people.

If you really want to look at the whole stats, we had 52% possession, completed 6 more sets than Knights yet still ran 200 metres less than them. Definitely an area that needs some improvement.

 

[Speed2burn]

The Knights props played monster minutes compared to ours

I’m not surprised really, plus the amount of 6 again calls we copped on 4th / 5th tackle didn’t help

Not really . Most of thier drop balls were on the halfway or near thier own try line . So if the maximum distance you can travel is 30-40m , and we didn’t take advantage of those drop balls , it stands to reason that our average metres will be affected doesn’t it ?
