I can’t believe there are people on here that wouldn’t trade Blore for Olam. You’re talking about a player with potential vs an established gun. Smh

Olam was ordinary at the end of this season...nothing like the gun he was in previous seasons,which is why he played in Reggies mostly and why Bellamy(not a bad judge of talent)wld trade him.
We need to tread carefully on this one

Had enough of winning at Melb.
We can show him a different side of the game.

😂 😉

 

[Buttface]

Seems he’s much bigger and considerably less fit this year from last…

Another dedicated Tiger

One article back half of the year, he mentions injury and belemy gave him things to work on.

Has the drive to get back.

Injury may have something to do with it

I think adding him and Suli would really sharpen our backline.

Suli will go well being around his friends and with Benji showing belief in him, he'll be a different player.

I just love how hard Olam runs. It’s insane. Suli - can have a brain explosion

Why would we need to trade? Wouldn't the Storm just prefer to be rid of him if he can find a new club?

Simpkin would be a good offload.

Not as good as AJ though

 

[supercoach]

He’s got a bachelor in applied physics….

Reckon he’s got more between the ears than 95% of the NRL…
Certainly anyone in this team.

Did not know that, funny how we pre judge people without having a clue. Got to be well above average to take on physics

So you think Nofo could go alright at the Bears.

 

[hank37w]

4 Clubs and 120 Games....

No he won't.

Wasn't even at the Dogs long enough to play a game.

Maybe Berala Bears

But GNR was not talking about Benji being in his prime, he was talking about him in a derogatory manner and saying that he was Chad Townsend like when he came back.

My comment was that I would have taken Chad Townsend the last 2 seasons in comparison to what we have had served up in the halves these last 2 seasons, nothing to do with Benji being in his prime, which of course he has not been in for the last 2 seasons.

I know some will say that in the 2022 season we had Hastings, but in my opinion he played his best for us in the # 13, so in fact he did not play half back for us all season and then add suspension and injury time to that he only managed to play 16 games for the season.

In any case we still only managed to win 4 games while we had him and does in no way compare to what Chad Townsend was able to do with the Cowboys in 2022 where he led them in 26 games for 18 wins coming 3rd and just falling a game short of playing in the Grand Final.

Not a bad achievement after they had not made the finals for the 4 seasons prior to this and some, if not much of the credit was attributed to Townsend's leadership.

I don’t think if we had Cleary, Cherry Evans or Reynolds in the half’s West Tigers would have made the top 8
I find it strange when people wrap or bag individuals for a teams achievements or failures over a season.
It’s a Team game (13+ players)
The Cowboys made the finals in 2022 because of their Team not any one individual.
The Tigers won the comp in 2005 because the Team jelled
not because of Benji or Scott Prince
My statement was about 2 individuals in their prime and who I considered the better player.

I hope so - imo he’s a much better prospect than Xavier Wilson. Personally would love both.

If we’ve got him - maybe that’s why the Blore trade rumours are coming back out because he’d most likely take Blore’s spot and imo deservingly so he’s that good this kid.

If we get both Finefuiaki and Olam for Blore then that’s a win overall for the club …..

I think he was why they wanted Twal gone. Maybe it fell through and that's why Twal is staying. Can't be sure but I thought it was pretty close to a done deal.

Everytime ive seen Xavier, nothing he has done has made me think this guy would be good at the Tigers,
Exactly the opposite, think he would be a waste of money.

Interesting name for an agency.
Good way to get the tax man real interested in your clients.
Call yourself Black Money also known as undeclared cash hidden by small businesses or illegally obtained money.
Shrewd.

I know Wok who runs Black Money, great fella

Fair enough, whatever you think, but my statement was about my preference being to have had Chad Townsend in 2022 and 2023 playing in our halves over the halves combinations that we rolled out that had no clue about how to produce a result once we were in the oppositions red zone.

Never said anything about making the 8, just that I think we would have got better than 4 wins with Townsend in the halves.

It was a response to a derogatory comment made referencing Chad Townsend inferring that he was at best a pretty ordinary half, and my point being that as ordinary as he may be he still would have been better than what we had.

This had nothing what so ever to do with whether Chad Townsend or Benji Marshall was the better player in their prime, and just for the record, Benji wins that hands down but that was Benji at his best a long time ago.
