The 28-year-old and Stuart first clashed over team selection in the lead-up to a round-21 clash against the Sydney Roosters, then again this month when he was snubbed from a Sunshine Coast training camp for being overweight. Even when news filtered through on Monday that Scott had spent the night behind bars and could be stood down for the start of the season with Canberra, Leilua had no appetite to back out on the Tigers and coach Michael Maguire.

“I was never going to backflip, my decision was made and in my mind I was done with Canberra,” Leilua told the Herald. "I couldn’t wait to get here and get around a new environment "Something happened last year between me and ‘Sticky’ [Stuart] and I wasn’t happy. "I was coming back from my neck [surgery] and he told me I’d be back for the Roosters. I would have been up against Latrell [Mitchell], I worked my arse off and got mentally prepared. "Then they went over to New Zealand the week before and had a massive win, he came back and said I wasn’t good enough to play.
"I said to him, ‘How can you say that when you told me to get ready?’
"I asked him if he thought I wasn’t good enough for the team, and he said, ‘you’re not good enough for this team’. "From that moment I was off him. We lost to the Roosters, he called me up the next week and we won. "I was still mad. I wasn’t happy with him. I respect Ricky as a coach and what he has done for me, but I wasn’t happy.
"Even when I came back for pre-season training, I was a bit overweight, I had just had my wedding, and he wasn’t happy. "I wasn’t the only one overweight in the team, but I was the only one told to go and train with reserve grade. “They left me behind for that training camp for two weeks. That’s when my mind was made up to search for another club.” Leilua was into the final year of his deal with the Raiders and told he would not be offered a contract for 2021.

Lucky for Sticky this wasn't David Fa'alogo.

talking about maths surely has to top it off!

Tell us what you really ... mean! Like the Actuary dude who has one foot in a bucket of Hot water and the other in a bucket of Cold water and says "On the Average, I feel OK"

$327k is the median of the salary cap, but not necessarily the average salary. Without accurate salary figures it’s difficult to determine the average as it depends on how many players on a roster are earning overs and unders and by what margins. I’m guessing the average salary would be lower than $327k considering marquee players take up large portions of the cap - it would be interesting to know…

No I'm pretty sure you are not correct. Assuming the club spends 100% of its salary cap (I think they have to spent at minimum 90%?) then the average salary is, by definition, $9.8M divided by 30, for each and every club. We know these parameters to be set and not dependent on an individual allocation of funds.

The median is actually the calculation that is impacted by significant individual salaries, because it's the "middle value" of the set.

So for instance, an imaginary pool of 10 players
1, 1, 1, 1, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.5, 0.2, 0.2 --N = 10, sum = 6.4, median = 0.5, average = 0.64
1, 0.9, 0.9, 0.9, 0.7, 0.6, 0.5, 0.4, 0.3, 0.2 --N = 10, sum = 6.4, median = 0.7, average = 0.64

Note how the median is skewed in the first set because of the uneven distribution of funds, even though the top 4 players are on almost the same money.


I have to reacquaint myself with the ‘4 averages’: mean, median, mode and range.

I think what I’m searching for is an average that’s closer to the ‘mode’ (data that occurs the most) - rather than the mean or median averages.

To get the mode average don’t we need to eliminate the data from the bell curve that ‘skews’ - i.e. the high earners and those on the minimum wage, and then calculate the average from what’s remaining...?

To me the mode average would be interesting in relation to the salary cap, but it’s difficult to attain unless you have the data, plus you then need to apply discretion to determine how much data you eliminate - and where you apply that discretion will give you different results.

Ahh... footballers make good money is the point of it all, whatever the mathematical mechanism to get there. Yes many fall by the wayside but so does the general public in many endeavours big and small. So my point being - sure footballers want to make as much money as possible with their opportunities, but who doesn't? And most folks don't get a shot at several hundred thousand p.a.

I wish I could like this post more than once. Once will have to do. But I'll say this also, these footballers are in incredible physical shape, they train hard, are dedicated, make sacrifices, and pursue a dream which many fail but only some get through and make it big. That makes them courageous as well.

It is also a position of privilege. The Wests Tigers players are representing a team which stands for more than I can ever put into words. They should be well paid sure, but as part of our team they need to represent our club, and they do that by not being selfish, greedy or putting their team mates down.

A player should get the best deal they can, yeah, but then recognise their place in the team and understand the money they are paid is to put the team first.

Rant over.

Joey Leilua thinks himself a better centre than Curtis Scott, but said his days in Canberra were always numbered because of his strained relationship with Ricky Stuart. Leilua enjoyed his first day at Wests Tigers training on a steamy Tuesday and spoke about his excitement to play outside his younger brother Luciano and inside fellow Samoan David Nofoaluma. While Leilua will add plenty of size and experience out wide for the Tigers, he told the Herald how there was no future for him in the nation’s capital.

The 28-year-old and Stuart first clashed over team selection in the lead-up to a round-21 clash against the Sydney Roosters, then again this month when he was snubbed from a Sunshine Coast training camp for being overweight. Even when news filtered through on Monday that Scott had spent the night behind bars and could be stood down for the start of the season with Canberra, Leilua had no appetite to back out on the Tigers and coach Michael Maguire.

“I was never going to backflip, my decision was made and in my mind I was done with Canberra,” Leilua told the Herald. "I couldn’t wait to get here and get around a new environment "Something happened last year between me and ‘Sticky’ [Stuart] and I wasn’t happy. "I was coming back from my neck [surgery] and he told me I’d be back for the Roosters. I would have been up against Latrell [Mitchell], I worked my arse off and got mentally prepared.

That’s when my mind was made up to search for another club.” Leilua was into the final year of his deal with the Raiders and told he would not be offered a contract for 2021.

He maintained he was a better option than Scott, the Melbourne recruit who was expected to be given first shot at right centre, and was prepared to fight his way back into first grade if he had to see out the year in Canberra. “Deep down I knew I was better than most centres there, and that’s not being cocky, that’s being confident because I know what I’m capable of,” Leilua said.

When the Herald pointed out to the former Dally M centre of the year that he often produced performances that were “rocks and diamonds”, he laughed and said, "Maybe in 2017 and 2018 it was rocks and diamonds, but then I got hurt in 2019, so you can’t judge me on that. My first seven games last year I considered myself one of the best centres in the game. It took me a while to get back.
"My best years are still to come. I’ll be doing my best to get into shape for round one. I can’t wait to tell [Luciano] what to do. I’ll be screaming at him on the edge.
“If you really want something you can get it. That was the [philosophy] at Canberra and it will be no different at the Tigers - if we really want it we can get it.”

Leilua quickly made an impression with his new Tigers teammates. He weighs around 115kg and plays at 109kg. His signing is expected to be followed by South Sydney utility Adam Doueihi who has already been told to look for a better deal elsewhere by Wayne Bennett and has a tremendous rapport with Maguire.

Meanwhile, the Tigers also confirmed the signing of Parramatta prop Stefano Utoikamanu for three years from 2021.

Not sure I'm a fan of BJ airing his dirty laundry, but like his attitude towards believing we can win.

Hope it's all behind him and he has a point to prove for us!

Wears his heart on his sleeve and a straight shooter. He'll leave it all on the field.
I was apprehensive about the signing but I'm now glad it's been done. He has that same infectious enthusiasm that Reynolds is known for. It can only be a good thing.

Sounds like he's excited to make his mark with his younger brother too.

JRey injured already......he has to be the worst signing ever

Careful, there are A LOT of people in contention for that prize here.
Ballin, McQueen (assuming injury was known, WHY !?), we got some kind of Value from Blair although his style never worked at the Tigers (if we had 2x Melbourne players it may have*). Anasta seemed to half retire, half put in.

Josh Reynolds, as a signing made good sense at the time. We had just lost 3 of the big 4 and looked to be bottom of the table for 4 seasons. Sure we should have spent hard for either Maloney or Cooper Cronk, but I could imagine Maloney going the same way as Reynolds. I doubt we would have gotten either of them with where the tigers are at now let alone then (in coaching Chaos). Had jRey not signed with us I don't know if other players would have signed for us. Hindsight, it was a bad decision. But that's hindsight.

*Blair getting 3 matches while Glen Stewart got 2x was wrong. Even though every Manly player ran in got 2x weeks, it was still unfair that Blair missed that final. Blair/Glen should have gotten like for like.

B Stewart ended up destroying his knee in that fight and missed the rest of the comp....

I don't believe that is true. As Brett played in the final vs New Zealand.

This just makes sense. We get Grant for a year but remain with Liddle.
Storm get Momo for a year.

Yes when we vs Storm this will be weird. I guess it means that we will have Leulia and Mbye in the centers.
...
Hmm, can't we have swapped them Mbye. I would take Momo over Mbye.

 

[AJ1]

I'm liking the WT/Storm trade proposal. It will be interesting how the NRL responds to this arrangement, particularly from a cap perspective. I.e does Momo's salary count towards the Storms cap or the Tigers cap?

As much as I agree with you, we couldnt have swapped MBye. This young kid is probably on $200k or less, MBye is on $900k or so. Even Momo is a bit of a stretch as he'd be on more than this kid, but its still worth it for us imo.

In the swap in the EPL players are rested if they play against their home side

iE West Ham v WBA and West Ham had loaned Grady Diangana to WBA

When they played in the FA Cup last weekend Diangana couldn't play

Looks like the NRL has approved the swap deal, which is unusual for Toddy to help us.
Maybe the NRL thought that they might be helping the Storm more than helping us.

In the swap in the EPL players are rested if they play against their home side

iE West Ham v WBA and West Ham had loaned Grady Diangana to WBA

When they played in the FA Cup last weekend Diangana couldn't play

Didn’t make much difference lol

being the idiots we are we loaned out all our form young players and left the hopeless older out of form players
