Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[HabboTiger]

Our off contract players for this year are (10)
Oliver Clark, Matthew Eisenhuth, Robert Jennings, Chris Lawrence, Benji Marshall, Sam McIntyre, Chris McQueen, Alex Seyfarth, Dylan Smith, Elijah Taylor.

The only players that look like we should resign are McIntyre and maybe Seyfarth/ Eisenhuth.

Based on our team now and assuming we can steal Harry Grant our lineup next year is better than recent memory.

1. Douihei
2. Nofa
3. BJ
4. Mbye
5. Talau
6. Reynolds
7. Brooks
8. Aloai
9. Harry Grant
10. Mikalele
11. Garner
12. Luciano
13. Twal
14. Stefano
15. Momirovski
16. McIntyre
17. Musgrove

We would have some depth Liddle, Hoffman, Simpkin, Blore, MCK, Eisenhuth, Seyfarth, Madden, Cini, Bradley, Scolari etc.

In my view we need to sign starters that push some players back in the depth chart to get better.

Personally I’d like to see Talau in the centre’s and Mbye as a 14 with a gun winger on the left JAC or Korobiete would be great.

CHN moving Garner to the bench would make us more formidable.

Long term replacement for Reynolds I’d make a big offer for Matt Burton from the Panthers.

A few changes and we will be a top 6 side consistently.

Spot on

I could see Huth getting an offer 100k better than ours from a struggler like Titans or Dogs that are looking to build culture. But yeah, I'd keep him and Seyfarth, who is very young and going to be pretty good I reckon.

We're gonna have a lot of $$$ to spend and some savvy people making decisions. Very happy to see what comes our way.

Think of Valentine Holmes for the Cowboys. They paid fullback money and he may be stuck on the wing for now on.

Was just a dumb signing. He's a decent winger, that's it. 6 year deal worth almost $5m (according to reports at the time).

Yep. Not many of these million dollar men seem to be on winning teams. Like, the Titans are stupid to recruit Fifita for such an amount in a large team game. They won't be able to recruit enough good players to put around him, either that or they'll lose their best young players and their depth will be horrible as the Cowboys is.

Not sure why Nofa and JAC are being compared. If we did sign JAC he would play left wing and Nofa on the right. It’s our left wing that’s the issue at the moment not the right

With the amount of backs we will have on the books next year wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t go after him at all, but I reckon a Momirovski for JAC swap could be on the cards

Storm have already given Addo-Carr a release for 2021 no matter where he goes, why should we give them anyone ??

The issue perhaps is Maguire may not want to payout $1m or near that for 2 wingers. Someone may have to take a pay cut or move on.

In 2021 we have the following off Contract.

Josh Aloiai, Shawn Blore, Kane Bradley, Michael Chee-Kam, Zac Cini, Jacob Liddle, Jock Madden, Thomas Mikaele, Zane Musgrove, David Nofoaluma, Russell Packer, Josh Reynolds, Billy Walters

I would resign Aloai, Blore, Bradley, Cini, Liddle, Madden, Mikalele, Nofa. The only big money players would be Aloai, Mikaele and Nofa.

We should get back 1.550m from Packer and Reynolds. Aloai and Mikaele will be big upgrades based on their growth. Nofa is already on a big contract so he should stay I’d say he’s a loyal player and paid well.

Madge is building wisely it’s a good approach. He’s setting the team up for sustained Success. It’s hard being patient but we are on track to be very strong 2022.

The club just needs to make the finals even with the current squad albeit we are being smashed with injuries.

They’ve not officially granted him anything and they have every right to choose to only release him to a club that gives them something in return. Storm will play hardball and with the depth we have it’s our best shot of signing him

He’s doing it the right way and that takes time. Can’t expect instant changes like Ivan went for, madge is slowly building the roster. We are only a few good signings away from being a formidable team

So can Momo!

Think you forgot him (probably accidentally on purpose).

Ivan went for respectable performance to get us out of the Bulldogs/Titans position. He was not wrong but where he damaged us was the length of contracts. If Reynolds, Packer, Matulino, Mbye were all coming off this year and we had a similar team with 3m to spare the pain would be worth it. Where we screwed up was 4 year deals for players that were never going to be the solution moving forward.

Was talking as if Momo would be at Melbourne

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Gotta have your Nofo goggles on you get a free pair with every West Tigers purchase....
Take JAC and play Talau on the wing and get Momo for centre back from Melbourne if cammy playes on.
Then use you Nofo money to buy Burton as a 6 from Penrith

 

[Sart0ri]

Can you provide the forum with a breakdown/stats for each SOO and Kangaroo game played by Nofoaluma and JAC?

Nathan Peats has played 164 NRL games (including finals) and 3 SOOs.

According to your logic he is currently a better player than Harry Grant.

 

[851]

i just cant believe obtaining two origin wingers is better than Nofo
The loyalty from some is insane

We already have a player like Nofa at the club on the same level as those players many supporters would agree I feel and also the fact he WANTS to be at the club and has proved to be one our best players this year and shows more heart in every game he plays with his dirty runs from our goal line and ability to beat a number of tackles, and the man can also find the try line easily - (one of my greatest fan moments was when the club was in a rock bottom period I think during the Jason Taylor vs Farah days and he scored in the corner with just pure grit while others weren’t even showing any effort at all (cough... Mitchell Moses) and he got up and went straight to the camera and kissed the badge and went ballistic and fired everyone up including myself in a game where no one turned up besides himself and probably teddy lol)

You speak about NSW origin wingers but statically he should be one of the first wingers selected if NSW were picking the team today, we need one winger I agree, however I wouldn’t swap Nofa for anyone bc you can teach skill and he has plenty regardless, but you can’t teach the heart and passion he possesses to have the combination of being skill full and also being legitimately passionate about your club is as valuable as anything and that’s what truely wins premierships

There’s other areas we can spend that money which would be way more beneficial to the club

And this is why we don't play finals footy. We settle for passion over quality. Origin wingers are on less than him but we'd rather have a known, loyal player than try and sign the best players we possibly can. It's a loser mentality.

Until we start making semis ,Origin wingers wont come to WT .for a market price..and besdies,Nofa has outplayed ferguson and a somewhat disinterested JAD this season,and Johnston has only fired up for the first time in years because hes getting punted

JAC has been very good for a very long time. He is a current SOO and Kangaroo rep. He has some personal issues but as far as consistency is concerned, this is Nofoaluma's first year he has performed well but he is on overs, more than a SOO and Aust rep which is madness.


Here is a breakdown of each players attack and defence running metres by season etc ..with no names..which winger would you pick..?

Remembering 1 play for the Storm 1 plays for us

Can you provide the forum with a breakdown/stats for each SOO and Kangaroo game played by Nofoaluma and JAC?

Not sure what that has to do with Club football ..given that SOO and Test Football involve elite talent from all Clubs and are played in 3 games or 1 off tests and would never fit in a NRL cap..not the week to week grind of NRL seasons

I could provide Nofoaluma's Samoan representation v Addo-Carr's if that would help you pick one..

I believe this was your statement *JAC has been very good for a very long time. He is a current SOO and Kangaroo rep. He has some personal issues but as far as **consistency is concerned**, this is **Nofoaluma's first year he has performed well***

Mate some people just think Nofo is useless, me I can see his value to the team, and if he was on the open market now plenty of clubs would be calling, I want him to stay and reap the fruits of his labour

Ha, how many games did he play for Australia?

Oh dear, a big fail. I'd suggest that's not a new experience for you.

Long term replacement for Reynolds I’d make a big offer for Matt Burton from the Panthers.

A few changes and we will be a top 6 side consistently.

Based off Tyga’s plans which I completely agree with btw, this is what the line up would potentially look like:

Personally, I think Esienhuth is playing incredibly well I use to be his biggest critic but since he’s been selected he has made me look silly - giving us the same productivity as Twal so wouldn’t mind to see Twal move to prop to allow Huth at 13 as his passing game is better

If his form dips and he goes back to 2019 Huth, I’d simply put Twal back at lock allow Mikaele to start then bring Musgrove/ Garner to the bench

1. Adam Doueihi
2. David Nofoaluma
3. Joseph Leiluia
4. Tommy Talau
5. Josh Addo-Carr
6. Josh Reynolds
7. Luke Brooks
8. Josh Alioia
9. Harry Grant/ Liddle
10. Alex Twal
11. Luciano Leiluia
12. Corey Heriwa-Naera
13. Matt Esienshuth

Interchange
14. Moses Mbye
15. Stefano Utoikamanu
16. Thomas Mikaele
17. Shawn Blore

Depth Musgrove, Garner, McIntyre, Lawrence, Taylor, MCK, Clarke

Only inclusions would be JAC and CHN - which imo is likely if chased properly

Based off that line up I see us consistently playing finals football

 

[stevied]

I agree with you Teddy!
