Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

Martys have a good game,didnt think he had much left in him

Anyone know much about Panthers dev player Sunia Turuva FB/wing/centre? Heard plenty of wraps on him & Zero Tackle has contract status as 2021.

And also Sione Hopoate, North Sydney KOE wing another son of John, got great stats in KOE Cup - big, fast from memory of him against Magpies this season.

Tariq Sims ,Adam Elliott would both be huge additions for our mediocre pack of forwards .We may have trouble signing quality players , so if we got the opportunity to grab players of that caliber then we should .

Agree with Sims, disagree with Elliott. He's poor

Where is all this Fergo talk coming from.....Im scared...

Why would signing a former international who is still a great finisher, is a big body who makes meters out of his end, is good in the air and has a cult following scare you?

An upgrade on what we have every day of the week.

Because he's injury prone and aged out.
Better off chasing a couple of years in England on big bucks...

A cult following? LOL

I can see why people are suggesting Tariq but can’t see him doing much at the tigers, Ogden, peachey yes

Ogden’s name popped at Brisbane North’s, his manager has approached the Broncos re a second tier or development contract (there is not really any difference for a player who would walk into an Intrust squad). I think NSWRL has a large problem with the number of players/ managers approaching QLD Cup teams, the activity for this time of year is crazy not sure if it is due to COVID or a 2nd Qld team but it will put a strain on resources in SEQ & impact NSW comps.

Roosters fans not impressed with their teams performance last night.

Blaming a lot on Angus & Sitili Touponua.
Putting a red line through the latter for next year.

Any interest?
Good attacking second rower, defence? Not the best.

Also, talks they need some backs for next year with Morris going and the depth being very average.
Wonder if they'd be keen on Nofo? 🙌😂

I’d take fergon in a heart beat experienced winger great finisher and hates loosing and is currently playing in a top 8 team.
People need to remember we are not a destination club we need to build slowly by getting experienced competitors in to help our young guys learn how to Play nrl week in week out because at the moment our senior group is terrible

Fair dinkum, I realise the smarties know a lot more than us but we need to offer this lad a top 30 squad contract.

It would be very Wests Tigers to have their best ever year in Jersey Flegg going undefeated then losing all the best ones

We won't know if letting certain juniors go is a good decision for a number of years though so I won't spend my time worrying about it 😂

I’m hearing te Marie Martin has been putting out feelers after seeing specialist and getting the all clear to return the nrl, mate of mine in Qld told me yesterday . I wonder if we would be interested.?

Well on average not even 9% of Flegg players get to play a NRL game. It’s also very hard over the last 2yrs to identify who has the best chance of making it as the development pathways have all been stuffed up. I think the norm in 3-5yrs time won’t be what we are use to the last few years on kids making it.

Man I forgot about Te Maire. Super unfortunate the way his career has gone so far.

 

[boonboon]

We also need to remember that Jersey Flegg is Under 21s and ontop of our actual Jersey Flegg squad we had the following players who were under 21 at the start of the year

Talau
Simpkin
Simpkins
Stefano
Blore
Hoffman
Madden

So when your looking at our JF players remember all of these are playing NRL or NSW cup when they could have been in a flegg squad still.

Besides Jordan Hill clearly not being a priority who else of note has been let go?

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Info & content on club youth is an area that AFL has it all over the NRL. It is easy to find contract info, profiles & player performance reviews (every match) by coaches of club-listed players in lower grades (i.e. VFL). Unfortunately in NRL we have to rely mostly on fans posting info. HUUUGGGGGEEEEE opportunity for a club to take the bull by the horns & revolutionise club content in NRL.

Well past his best,he is just the sort of reject we have purchased in the past.Terrible signing imo

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Just what the doctor ordered from https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/rugby-league/wigan-warriors-player-ratings-catalans-21606041:

Oliver Gildart - 7: His best performance of the year, looked like a genuine threat every time he got the ball.
Jackson Hastings - 9: Thrilling performance, creating chances, kicking well, nailing a 40/20 and assisting the first try. A constant threat. Kicking game awesome.

We are where we are because we have bought players like Fergo in the past (thanks Ivan)A big NO from me
