There’s a tall winter in our CC side isn’t there?
Pretty sure tigers posted pics of him on Facebook today, he’s quite a big lad!

Kane Bradley


tall but lacks speed


Mate he's not that slow trust me.

okay ill take ur word

Why give up so quick. you were adamant he lacked pace. Why say something you dont truly believe.

Cant wait until the season proper starts, its a long off season.

Not sure lol..spure of the moment

@willow I agree. He obviously has talent or they wouldn’t give him a development contract. I watched the wingers in JF and CC and he wasn’t the worst that’s for sure. Good kid who needs a bit of encouragement and I keep coming back to the the amount of tries he scored in CC in his first few games. I liked Lee Silva and Scolari but they don’t have Kane’s height or size. I could be wrong but I don’t think Lee Silva has been resigned - strange because I thought he went well and showed a lot of heart & regularly deservedly got players’ player. If Scolari gets a bit bigger his aggressiveness will see him back into the forwards. He has some serious speed all right but he loves the contact and intimidates with his hits.

I want to see Kane succeed like us all and I know he can do it whether it be wing or elsewhere. I would never write him off that’s for sure.

@Roar_Power having Mbye at 9 is a waste of his running and ball playing ability, I’d have
2.Momo
3.Mbye(their combo worked really well end of season)
4.Talau
5.Nofo

9.Grub
14.Thommo (if we get Mitchell)

My only concern with that is Momo showed he is clearly not a winger, he struggled when playing there and was caught out several times. He is an out and out centre which I think is where we need to play him.

 

[Spud_Murphy]

@Weststigers advise Members to check inbox for "signing news" shortly.

What a prick tease

Yeah was thinking the same thing. Why would the club do something like that with the way things are going at the moment?

 

[Chaos]

@beachtiger To be fair, Momo let the pressure of first grade get to him for a while, he looks as if the nerves got the best of him at times, towards the back end of the season he massively improved, I think he will have a big year if given the chance.

Was just going to say the same thing @beachtiger - you beat me to it. I am probably the greatest Momo fan on here, so I don't like saying anything negative about him but..... he is not and never will be a winger.

To my mind he is only a centre, pretty good one at the moment but a player that will be a very good one with more NRL games under his belt.

I don't get people on here that picking a backline for next year, they pick Momo, Talau, Mbye and Nofo. Then beyond all reason Thommo as 14 and want to stick him in at 9 for awhile.

Momo scored 8 tries in 11 games during 2019, that is a pretty good strike rate in my opinion and he had a fair bit of work to do in at least half of them. Bronson Xerri who most of you rate as a very good centre scored 13 tries in 22 games in a much more fancied team. I don't think too many on here would buy him and then play him on the wing.

Yet there are calls to play Momo on the wing and play Talau in the centre after 1 NRL game. Think I would want to see a lot more of him in the NRL before I gave him Momo's spot. Mbye's maybe.

If Madge can only fit Momo in on the wing I would say to him "please don't" - play him in CC and play Thommo on the wing. Rave over.

Couldn’t agree more Russ, Momo in CC and Thommo on the wing sounds ok to me.

Tetevano is apparently asking for too much money. Looks unlikely to be with us

Excellent news!

 

[Russell]

His loss.

 

[happy_tiger]

@avocadoontoast all good,lol. but don't u agree we really need 2 very good forwards and one good centre even if we get LM.it really gets most on here upset that we are stated to be in for this player and that player, but nothing ever seems to come of. we were told that lomax was close to signing now he is close to signing for the knights. we were hopeful that we would get something for that dog going to the eels yet he has signed and again nothing.

I think we need one prop, one backrower and I’d love a tall fast winger.

I'd say the prop is coming and it's the one you and many others don't want here.

Are we talking the Pommie or Tetevano ??

If thats the case go for Musgrove. The NRL should register his contract now case decided.

It might be difficult but perhaps we could widen our net to include those that haven’t been convicted of domestic violence?

Its re-assuring that Madge wont play that game.

Tetavano but looks like that won't be happening. No idea what other props are available.. we do need one though

 

[TigerTrell]

i would pay him 300k max

 

[JD Tiger]

@TigerTrell He did start as Prop on the Kiwi test team. Starting prop also for the Roosters, the first team that has won back to back premiership in over 20 years (though they are the biggest cheats in more than 20 years, and thats saying something).

$500k I think is too much, maybe $400k is just right?
