Curtis Scott was awful at Canberra and Storm let him go for good reasons

His defence was notably terrible this year for Raiders as well

Curtis Scott
2019 tackle efficiency 87%
2020 tackle efficiency 85%
2021 tackle efficiency 90%

2021 Tigers tackle efficiency
Chee Kam 89%
Roberts 83%
Talau 78%
Leilua 77%
Kepaoa 65%
Pauga 56%

Tackle efficiency means almost nothing unless you're playing in the middle. If you actually watched him play you would've seen how poor defensively he was

Would he be an A or B defender?

You would have ask Noffa.

IMO Scott is an improvement on what we have (right at the moment, with our inexperience, inconsistencies and injuries).

At his best, Scott struck me as a win at all costs type player on the field. Something tigers are really lacking in. If he’s fit and ready to go for the preseason, I’d offer him a short term deal to get us through 2022.

I’ve kind of lost track with our roster spots at the moment so I won’t argue this point.

@Tiger-ferret exactly my thoughts aswell id offer him a 2 year with a option on the 2nd year

I don't think we're in a position to be picky about certain players our club is all about being gritty no matter your reputation as long as you give 100% we don't care so many we need to take look at the outcasts like Scott like elliot who have something to prove

Patience is the key. For too long we have brought in players with issues because we have no plan for youth. They drag the team down from an effort perspective. We need to be selective and get players that are pros or more young guys that are stuck behind great players. It’s the only recipe that has worked Utoikamanu, Laurie, Douhiei, Blore, Twal, Aloai, Matterson we’re all at good clubs with no chance of consistent first grade.

I think big things were planned for Stefano but I do like your thinking. Until our juniors are ready, it looks like our only option is to raid other clubs - yes, we may overs but I feel its a better bet than getting discount first graders at the back end of their careers.

I'd still take Munster

No way mate, he'd have to bring the Cheese with him.

All is forgiven.

Munster really blew it for the Storm this year interesting what they do with him.

Sure heath ledger would of done a better job for them if they had the balls to make a big decision.

Tackle efficiency only counts when you’re making the tackles. Doesn’t show all the times you’ve just blatantly missed someone or not made the effort to tackle them

Otherwise called doing a Moses M'Bye

Remember when Melbourne wanted tommy talau for Addo carr and we said no

And titans will have tannah boyd playing 7 with Campbell playing 6 brimmo at fullback

Could turn out a good move addo Carr is past it I think.

I read a Fox article which indicated the Warriors were chasing Luke Metcalfe from the Sharks. He's a very exciting player who tore our 'right side defence' to shreds.

A geriatric with a walking frame could tear our 'right side defence' to shreds.

We need centres and and there is not a lot out there. I would take Scott over another average JTJ year

Even jtj as wing option is good think he was better on the wing this year.

Haha yeah, haven’t been able to shake “ferret” for over 25 years in my local sporting circles ?

Just saw something on Facey posted in Mighty Wests Tigers Supporters Group suggesting Dragons have offered Curtis Scott a deal and that it's now up to the Tigers to counter offer within a certain timeframe or he'll sign with Dragons. It would be just like the Tigers to get into a bidding war and pay overs too.

I'm taking the original source with a grain of salt as it appears to have originated from The Forgotten Man NRL Rumours.

I have also heard from a very close source to Curtis that Dragons are in discussions with him, with Suli also seeming to making his way there - I looked into it in another way that maybe the Lomax exit rumours are true?

Can Lomac be approached by Wests tigers before November 1?

JTJ is well past it.
