Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[nuggetron]

Just checked DWZ stats and he’s scored 5 tries in 9 games and averages 167m a game, that’s 20 more meters than nofa! All that in a dogs team Playing out of position with no forwards. Just imagine nofa and DWZ chalking up those meters in our team together! For 3-400k and swap with Joey leilua, make it happen!!

They would be one of the slowest wing combinations in the NRL. A big no thanks. Wingers also need to possess pace and outstanding finishing and not just 10 metres out.

DWZ should not be blocking one of our good youngsters from a wing position. Good young players who even at their age offer more than simply hitting the ball up like a second row forward. Thank goodness Sheens is coming so we can have some innovative thinking aboard HMAS Weststigers.

We are struggling now and don't see any younger wingers ready to step up into 1st grade for at least 18 months. Enter a Rep player that has captained his country under our current coach, 25 years old(still young) , 6 foot 1 and wait for it ..... getting him for 300-400k is an bargain.. If it doesn't work out then who cares as its not like it for 4 years on 700k. He could play better then TT hands down on the wing so its a YES for me.

One of the problems we have had in our backline is lack of pace. Why do you want 2 error prone slow wingers?

Good point but there is no experienced wingers out there with pace we can get.. JAC would of been excellent but also would cost 600k++ . Maybe Madge is thinking lets get DWZ as an experienced winger until we find a fast up and comer we can put there.
I'm no recruitment guru but I do trust the decisions been made at the club as most of them have turned out well in this building process.

Yeah but why would you want to sign DWZ for 2 years on pretty good money (even subsidised) just for the hell of it? I'd rather keep JTJ there until we find that up and comer.

we still need depth and having DWZ or JTJ as back up is far more preferable than running out cini again and getting him bombed to death and destroying his confidence
plus DWZ offer fullback coverage should mbye go and laurie goes down, as far as i know nobody is a capable fullback coverage from lower grades or first grade
as a squad of 30, DWZ and JTJ on a combine 600-700k isn't a bad deal in my books when you look at the experience they have, the coverage DWZ offers and the fact that none of the juniors are really ready for that step up

$400k is a lot of money for a back up winger.

$400k is a lot of money for a back up winger.

or you could look at it like he is starting for 400k and JTJ who really hasn't shown that much to warrant a walk up jersey is a good back up at 200k (he has provided good ROI for the last few weeks)
we have packer running around reserves on a lot more than 400k, along with BJ
eels have fergo running around reserves
broncos had milf on 1mill
ese'ese reserves

id rather have a 400k DWZ running around reserves as a capable back up than any of them

The days of having players on top money playing reserve grade are almost over ..unless there coming back from an injury

Jimmy the jet is doing fine atm

DWZ is a nuffie ..plays the ball the wrong way & drops balls ..

Not what we need on $400k+ and why should we help the dogs out ?

They signed him on ludicrous money so they can deal with him .

And the signings of Packer and BJ have been complete failures, as have the other players you mentioned. We should be trying desperately to avoid those types of signings, and DWZ is exactly that type of signing.

I don't want anyone running around in reserve grade on $400k unless they are working their way back from an injury.

I don't think he is being brought in to be a back up winger. I think he will take JTJ spot. Not sure how he or TT fit in if that happens. Like them both of late.

Once Roberts shows he can handle a barrage of high balls, he may be a solid option. Until then, he has a giant, albeit hopeful, asterisk next to his name.

Simple answer is coverage as injuries / suspensions happen and when they do we will really struggle.

that's the problem, it's not helping the dogs out, they are paying 50% of his contract roughly and he isn't playing for them, we all whinge and whine when we let a player go and have to pay part of their contract so surely receiving a player that is heavily subsidised is a win
it's a squad of 30 though and we showed the panthers what happens when your squad is 17 with a 13 fill ins

if DWZ comes he will be starting in my opinion
JTJ has been fine the other week, possibly last week too. but the other 6 games or so he has played he was invisible for the most part, be that his fault or the halves not getting him any ball.
If 400k is too much to have in reserve grade we run a 400k winger and have JTJ on 200k in reserves who is capable to play wing and centre if needed
we all want a gun winger but there's too few on the market and even less of them want to come here at the moment

Good point but there is no experienced wingers out there with pace we can get.. JAC would of been excellent but also would cost 600k++ . Maybe Madge is thinking lets get DWZ as an experienced winger until we find a fast up and comer we can put there.
I'm no recruitment guru but I do trust the decisions been made at the club as most of them have turned out well in this building process.

Yeah but why would you want to sign DWZ for 2 years on pretty good money (even subsidised) just for the hell of it? I'd rather keep JTJ there until we find that up and comer.

we still need depth and having DWZ or JTJ as back up is far more preferable than running out cini again and getting him bombed to death and destroying his confidence
plus DWZ offer fullback coverage should mbye go and laurie goes down, as far as i know nobody is a capable fullback coverage from lower grades or first grade
as a squad of 30, DWZ and JTJ on a combine 600-700k isn't a bad deal in my books when you look at the experience they have, the coverage DWZ offers and the fact that none of the juniors are really ready for that step up

$400k is a lot of money for a back up winger.

or you could look at it like he is starting for 400k and JTJ who really hasn't shown that much to warrant a walk up jersey is a good back up at 200k (he has provided good ROI for the last few weeks)
we have packer running around reserves on a lot more than 400k, along with BJ
eels have fergo running around reserves
broncos had milf on 1mill
ese'ese reserves

id rather have a 400k DWZ running around reserves as a capable back up than any of them

The days of having players on top money playing reserve grade are almost over ..unless there coming back from an injury

Jimmy the jet is doing fine atm

DWZ is a nuffie ..plays the ball the wrong way & drops balls ..

Not what we need on $400k+ and why should we help the dogs out ?

They signed him on ludicrous money so they can deal with him .

that's the problem, it's not helping the dogs out, they are paying 50% of his contract roughly and he isn't playing for them, we all whinge and whine when we let a player go and have to pay part of their contract so surely receiving a player that is heavily subsidised is a win
it's a squad of 30 though and we showed the panthers what happens when your squad is 17 with a 13 fill ins

But I don’t rate DWZ ..
He makes more mistakes than Nofo and Talau combined ..


I’d rather promote from within .

 

[carltonleach]

Just checked DWZ stats and he’s scored 5 tries in 9 games and averages 167m a game, that’s 20 more meters than nofa! All that in a dogs team Playing out of position with no forwards. Just imagine nofa and DWZ chalking up those meters in our team together! For 3-400k and swap with Joey leilua, make it happen!!

They would be one of the slowest wing combinations in the NRL. A big no thanks. Wingers also need to possess pace and outstanding finishing and not just 10 metres out.

DWZ should not be blocking one of our good youngsters from a wing position. Good young players who even at their age offer more than simply hitting the ball up like a second row forward. Thank goodness Sheens is coming so we can have some innovative thinking aboard HMAS Weststigers.

We are struggling now and don't see any younger wingers ready to step up into 1st grade for at least 18 months. Enter a Rep player that has captained his country under our current coach, 25 years old(still young) , 6 foot 1 and wait for it ..... getting him for 300-400k is an bargain.. If it doesn't work out then who cares as its not like it for 4 years on 700k. He could play better then TT hands down on the wing so its a YES for me.

And the signings of Packer and BJ have been complete failures, as have the other players you mentioned. We should be trying desperately to avoid those types of signings, and DWZ is exactly that type of signing.

I don't want anyone running around in reserve grade on $400k unless they are working their way back from an injury.

Isn’t BJ on that kinda money playing reserve grade? So the question is would u prefer him or DWZ. I know most peoples opinions would be neither but if that’s the options which would u prefer ?

if DWZ comes he will be starting in my opinion
JTJ has been fine the other week, possibly last week too. but the other 6 games or so he has played he was invisible for the most part, be that his fault or the halves not getting him any ball.
If 400k is too much to have in reserve grade we run a 400k winger and have JTJ on 200k in reserves who is capable to play wing and centre if needed
we all want a gun winger but there's too few on the market and even less of them want to come here at the moment

Jimmy is too good a player to be playing reserves even if it’s on $200k
He’ll go to a different club if that was to happens

don't get me wrong, I'm not saying DWZ is a gun or anything, but there doesn't seem to be too much around for wingers and a year or 2, heavily subsidised then why not, it gives those young guys another year to refine their game and weed out any that won't make it

Just imagine nofa and DWZ chalking up those meters in our team together! For 3-400k and swap with Joey leilua, make it happen!!

They would be one of the slowest wing combinations in the NRL. A big no thanks. Wingers also need to possess pace and outstanding finishing and not just 10 metres out.

DWZ should not be blocking one of our good youngsters from a wing position. Good young players who even at their age offer more than simply hitting the ball up like a second row forward. Thank goodness Sheens is coming so we can have some innovative thinking aboard HMAS Weststigers.

We are struggling now and don't see any younger wingers ready to step up into 1st grade for at least 18 months. Enter a Rep player that has captained his country under our current coach, 25 years old(still young) , 6 foot 1 and wait for it ..... getting him for 300-400k is an bargain.. If it doesn't work out then who cares as its not like it for 4 years on 700k. He could play better then TT hands down on the wing so its a YES for me.

One of the problems we have had in our backline is lack of pace. Why do you want 2 error prone slow wingers?

Good point but there is no experienced wingers out there with pace we can get.. JAC would of been excellent but also would cost 600k++ . Maybe Madge is thinking lets get DWZ as an experienced winger until we find a fast up and comer we can put there.
I'm no recruitment guru but I do trust the decisions been made at the club as most of them have turned out well in this building process.

Yeah but why would you want to sign DWZ for 2 years on pretty good money (even subsidised) just for the hell of it? I'd rather keep JTJ there until we find that up and comer.

we still need depth and having DWZ or JTJ as back up is far more preferable than running out cini again and getting him bombed to death and destroying his confidence
plus DWZ offer fullback coverage should mbye go and laurie goes down, as far as i know nobody is a capable fullback coverage from lower grades or first grade
as a squad of 30, DWZ and JTJ on a combine 600-700k isn't a bad deal in my books when you look at the experience they have, the coverage DWZ offers and the fact that none of the juniors are really ready for that step up

$400k is a lot of money for a back up winger.

or you could look at it like he is starting for 400k and JTJ who really hasn't shown that much to warrant a walk up jersey is a good back up at 200k (he has provided good ROI for the last few weeks)
we have packer running around reserves on a lot more than 400k, along with BJ
eels have fergo running around reserves
broncos had milf on 1mill
ese'ese reserves

id rather have a 400k DWZ running around reserves as a capable back up than any of them

The days of having players on top money playing reserve grade are almost over ..unless there coming back from an injury

Jimmy the jet is doing fine atm

DWZ is a nuffie ..plays the ball the wrong way & drops balls ..

Not what we need on $400k+ and why should we help the dogs out ?

They signed him on ludicrous money so they can deal with him .

that's the problem, it's not helping the dogs out, they are paying 50% of his contract roughly and he isn't playing for them, we all whinge and whine when we let a player go and have to pay part of their contract so surely receiving a player that is heavily subsidised is a win
it's a squad of 30 though and we showed the panthers what happens when your squad is 17 with a 13 fill ins

But I don’t rate DWZ ..
He makes more mistakes than Nofo and Talau combined ..

and just on his errors, going off this (only cause i don't know where else to see the stats for any individual)
https://www.nrlsupercoachstats.com/ for DWZ down the very bottom his average error count for 2021 is -1.6 points (1.6 errors/game) vs nofo and TT both at 2.2

And the signings of Packer and BJ have been complete failures, as have the other players you mentioned. We should be trying desperately to avoid those types of signings, and DWZ is exactly that type of signing.

I don't want anyone running around in reserve grade on $400k unless they are working their way back from an injury.

Isn’t BJ on that kinda money playing reserve grade? So the question is would u prefer him or DWZ. I know most peoples opinions would be neither but if that’s the options which would u prefer ?

No, it's not the option - it would be better to have neither and play what we have - try out a few options and see what we can come up with for next year.

1.6 errors a game is pretty bad saying the dogs get lapped every week ?

yet its less than both nofo and talua individually where you threw out a random stat saying that he makes more than those two combined
last year nofo and DWZ stats were reversed and TT still 2.2
and 2019 they were the same error count (nofo and DWZ)

I'm not saying DWZ is the answer to our backline, but he's a lot better than we have available to us

its hard to judge a player coming from a team that has sat at the bottom of the table for as long as the dogs have, especially when its a back. nobody from the dogs team is worth getting excited about
To me, it's the opposite of the storm, you sign a guy from the storm he is more likely to go down hill. You sign a guy from the dogs, chances are he performs better.
