The Wests Tigers Lament Thread

wish we could have kept momo as well as Laurie then we could have potentially played him or talau on wing and not have had to play
AJ "Dropballer" Kepoa

Probably wasn't an option. Let's go after Naden as he will not make their current team.

Naden would be a good pick up, more a centre but if he keeps kepoa out then worth a shot

When Edwards comes back, and Crichton goes back to centre. Would you play Momo or burton?

If he was on loan and came back to the tigers would you pick BJ, AJ and Talau ahead of him?

Yes , I don’t rate him at all. He’s slow, good for atleast two errors a game.

Branko Lee kept him out of the storm team. You didn’t answer my question.

Actually ... injury kept him out and brenko was playing well enough to not warrant being dropped

But keep grinding that axe

So Momo the superstar couldn’t get back into the team with Lee in front of him lol. He is such a superstar that his last 3 teams haven’t wanted him. When Crichton comes back to centre, would you have have Momo or burton as the other centre?

Unless your name is Billy Slayer, Jonathan Thurston etc why would you change a team that’s won 5-6 in a row heading into the finals?

If your memory fades you, he became available about 1-2 weeks from the finals.

I’m not a Penrith supporter so I don’t care. I’d certainly have him ahead of any of our trashy centres apart from Roberts though.

Burton is a gun, such a good footy player.
Bulldogs have a really good pickup for next year.

Because Brenko Lee is one of the worst Centers I know. My memory does fade me , so can you tell me exactly the round that momo came back from injury please? If he was such the superstar why didn’t the storm take him as a swap deal for ado carr?

Yeah because JAC and Momo’s contracts are of similar value lol.

Went from one premiership team to another red hot team while we just pray one of our centre’s doesn’t have a brain snap on the field or get injured

Never once have I heard commentators say oh wow the Dogs made a huge mistake letting Ennis & Cook go and lambasting them for it like they do WT about both Tedesco and Papenhyuzen leaving.

Dogs have one of the all-time howlers (pun intended) - retaining Brent Sherwin in preference to Johnathan Thurston.

Broncos turned down Cameron Smith.

You are correct there are a tonne of examples.

Just remember .....Tom Terrific told WT's recruiters that Thurston was too small ...before the Dogs made the call on Sherwin / Thurston

Yea - it does seem strange though when you consider he always pushed for Alfie who was pretty small in his early days.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Thurston wouldn’t have stuck around anyway.

 

[Needaname]

To put the dogs decision into some perspective. Brent Sherwin was absolutely flying in the years of 2003-2004. He was the controller of the side not too dissimilar to adam Reynolds of the Rabbitohs today.
Not signing Thurston and resigning Sherwin would be like the Rabbitohs resigning Reynolds and not having the money to sign Walker the following year, the only difference between the two scenarios is the Rabbitohs unlike the dogs know exactly what they are getting out of their current players as they are both in their prime.
For the dogs it would of been risking one proven very good halfback for an a relative unknown.
Funny how it’s easy to look back on something and lament when you know what the outcome ended up being.

In the words of Craig Bellamy,if Momo wasnt injured he would have been playing in the grand final...
I will take his experienced word on that....

That's why I always mention Junior Moops. Went to the magic Storm system and did... nothing.

whilst I agree that Naden would be worth a shot, I'm not sure if his headspace would be right. We have Roberts who the club need to keep an eye on, and he seems to have turned a corner thankfully for him, and wondering that Naden might be a bit too much. It could work out fantastically with the club helping him along like Roberts and we get a great player, or it might bring a world of trouble for everyone involved, most importantly for him...just not sure

What does their contracts have to do with anything? Storm wanted a back to replace JAC. They sent Momo back to us and have Jennings and smith playing there who are also bog average. So what round did Momo come back from injury??????

Hi Brickwall. So let me see, we were willing to loan Momo out for a year to Melbourne and then release him to the panthers but we wouldn’t have released him to the storm if they wanted him for a JAC swap. Bye brickwall.

Everyone is lamenting Momorovski, but what about the young 5/8-super sub playing for souths? He's tearing it up, how did we let him go?
