Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

We should make a big play for Tabui-Fidow.

With the cows signing holes for a million, and with the likes of drinkwater, Clifford and Morgan in the fullback /halves at best he may get a shot on the wing. But he's still competing with feldt etc.

Would add some pace and x factor. Good size too. Show him the love Madge. Main problem is he's a North Queensland local boy

Can't we get Giddy up Giddy up Moseby too..he's fast

I would seriously get Drinkwater to play fb in 2021 and onwards. Hopefully Val holmes does just enough to keep him out of the position and we can swoop.

Kid is a talent!!!

Theyre moving him to the halves.
Thats his preferred position.

Keep dreaming.

Shame, but Fullback is his preferred position though...

He said otherwise last night on tv.

Said hes only played fullback over the last 2 years and hes played in the halves his whole life and its what hes use to...

WHATS THE BUZZ
Reporting in SHOOSH column that JENNINGS has been offered to the RORTERS since the Morris deal fell through
Thoughts
Also giving in to PASCOE for flying business class to PERTH

flying business class

Maybe he didn't want to muss up his yeah yeah man hair do?

If the swap doesn’t happen offloading Jennings doesn’t really affect us - but why would we do it? It’s the final year of his contract, so it’s not like we would free up salary cap for the future

Only reason they would do it is if they want to free up cap this year to sign someone else or there’s someone they want in the top 30 besides him otherwise we are strengthening another team for no reason.

Momo definately has the jump on Talau. In fact i dont know where all this talk of Talau playing first grade comes from. No way he starts the season at centre. The hype around momo is more realistic than this hype around Talau.

Could be for Jennings benefit. If he can get an extra year on his contract when he is unlikely to get extended with us. Could this also be that momo deal is off.

Would rather just keep him and rooster will have to play a rookie. No need to help them out without a benefit for us

I think sometime ago on here someone stated the club wanted to keep spot 30 open in case a decent player pops up. Not sure if it was forum talk or quote.
And would Jennings really be helping them that much. Imo it would be better for us

Addo-Carr is not a WT junior.

or Talau.

We can keep Jennings and have spot 30 open regardless. Strengthening another team for no benefit would be pointless. Tigers would only do it if they have someone else planned - Madge has shown he’s no dummy with player Recruitment/retention.

What was the go with Talau in yesterdays game against the Titans .. he looked and totally disinterested out there .. his movement was like he was injured and never got out of a jog in both attack and defence .. ?? not a good impression imposing upon the coach for a guy wanting to play 1st grade .. !! I never saw that young kid on a train to play contract with us play .. Matheson Johns on the weekend .. did he get a run .. ?? Watched that Stefanio Utoikamanu play for the Slimies during the 9's .. umm he didn't impress me much .. big guy yes, but he didn't have much enthusiasm. Saw him take few hit ups .. he plodded into the defence and was way too easy to be tackled for guy with his reputation .. !! I hope he displays more effort come the regular season .. !!

What did every team have that made them successfully during the 9's .. ? SPEED .. !! What are we lacking in .. ?? SPEED .. !! What do we need to be going after now as our 30th player for this season .. someone with real SPEED .. !!

Can you see the Dragons going far this year? I can’t. I don’t care how much speed they have.

I wouldn't be basing my needs assessment on 9's football but a bit of extra pace would be nice. I don't think we will be getting it for our 30th player though!

It's funny how some muppets talk about hype of Momo. There is no hype. Few outside our club know he exists.
But based on last season he's ahead of Nof, Jennings, Mbye, Talau... No one's saying he's an elite origin superstar but he's the most dangerous back we currently have. It's that simple. If you don't rate him you must think the rest of our boys are pathetic.

You’re entitled to your opinion like everyone else but to say he is our most dangerous back is reaching. BJ, Mbye, AD, CT all far more dangerous imo.

Also the hype, as you say, is exclusively from WT fans. Few outside WT know he exists because he’s just not that great.

Agreed, at this stage he is a solid player at best!

Momo can also kick goals. So important
