Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[Tcat]

Its the coaches decision where you play
Players are paid to play football not to make decisions on where to play
If AJ comes here then madge will make the decisions
If he is good enough for fullback and our best option then the spot is his
But like everyone he has to earn it

I saw Johnston get interviewed last week, he said, I don't care where I play, I like fullback, but I am just happy to play where best suits the team

I like that attitude. Unlike Latrells, I only want to play fullback/selfish attitude.

Thanks Sonny

That would have been a big about turn Wendell normally doesn't have a good word for WT'S

Said it a few weeks backs, is there a way to get Alex Johnston across this year?
He could very well be the difference to whether to we make the 8 or not. Not sure if the numbers are correct or not but apparently he ran over 300m. Or are all spots taken for the year?

He probably did run for over 300m but that included 2 runs of 80-90m each off intercepts. He picked off pretty telegraphed passes by Dufty and Sailor (in sailor's defence they were desperately chasing points at the time, Dufty's pass was just a bad one).

We dont have anyone that can run that far or as fast

Nofa?

AJ would absolutely lap him.

I've read so many times on hear that Nofa was the 2nd fastest in the NRL that I've forgotten if it's a joke or true. He seems pretty fast to me.

Not according to the Telsta Tracker. Jason Saab at 34..8km was just ahead of JAC at 34.7. Nofoaluma not in the top 6..

Fair enough, I could well have imagined it.

So we obviously value the young easts bloke ahead of Sailor. Then all is good

I believe Saab has a good future especially if he wants to work hard with Maguire. JAC is just outstanding.

 

[JC99]

Nofa is fast over 20-30 metres. Over 100 he’s slow as

Well the same Telstra Tracker had Nofoaluma 2nd in 2019..but it didn't count then..but now it does..

No you didn't imagine it, it is done every week, top speed reached during a game, one week Nofa was top dog

Sign a real half/ 5/8.

If you don't understand I why we just lost you have no idea.

It's all about leadership.

Benji can retire. Walters can bench , Brooks can dream on.

Sign a real leader.

 

[Tiger5150]

SMH at all the talk here of what winger we should buy............

We got rolled in the forwards. Curious selection from Maguire to leave Clark out. We needed him, he is much underrated.

 

[BalmainJnr]

We need to go and find some players who have seen what success looks like and aren’t in the twilight of their careers. Basically the WT version of a unicorn.

Clark played paws?

 

[Harvey]

While there is a lot of focus on our halves, we really need a strike player.

Someone like RTS, Ponga etc who can create plays, or create space for others as well as make big plays themselves. That has been seriously lacking since Teddy jumped ship

Kyle Flanagan needs to be offered the 7 for 2022 season (can talk in November) goal kicking wiz

Albert Hopoate should be targeted as a fullback prospect, no way he’s getting past Turbo and the kid has talent plus pace and X factor - unfortunately nothing in the market, defs worth a chance

Doueihi is a centre.... before anyone says anything about that

In terms of forwards - I think we’re fine.... tonight effort was poor however I think that was more allowing the Warriors players to get offloads away and 2nd phase plays which gave them the edge, in terms of talent in our pack we have it

1. Albert Hopoate
2. David Nofoaluma
3. BJ Leiluia
4. Adam Doueihi
5. Tommy Talau
6. Luke Brooks
7. Kyle Flanagan
8. Josh Alioia
9. Grant/Liddle/Simpkin
10. Russell Packer
11. Shawn Blore
12. Luciano Leiluia
13. Alex Twal

14. Thomas Mikaele
15. Matt Esienshuth
16. Stefano Utoikamanu
17. Sam McIntyre

Mbye and Reynolds - GONE

You really think Flanagan will leave the Roosters and play with this lot?

Tedesco, Woods, Moses are walking advertisements of how you progress your career by not playing at the tigers.
