Tuimoala Lolohea Signs with WT

[Seantice]

He can kick goals.

Yeh but to get them accross the ditch we need to pay abit over. Tedesco was going to get 1.1 million. We save 5-600k

 

[Yossarian]

I'm not convinced about him coming in to play 5/8 and releasing Moses. I don't see much benefit.

 

[Seantice]

Moses has had one try assust all year. what exactly has he done that warrants him to stay if we have an alternative? if we get a good forward from them im all for it. Assuming we get lolohea.

To me the benefit comes in being able to release someone who has asked for a release what, 3 times now since signing? I would think only a matter of time until his performances suffer.

He probably played his best game after he signed with Parra. If Josh Reynolds was coming now fine but we're talking about someone who we''re saying won't play there next season. For me it's a downgrade for 2017.

I can deal with him taking over Moses spot for the rest of the year, but I'm not filled with confidence he will excel at fullback in the long term. The money also being discussed the above article is ridiculous as well…

66% nrl conversation percentage 18/27

Agree about his performance after signing with Parra, but if he keeps asking and getting rejected, I would have thought that will eventually impact his performance.

 

[Newtown]

Yes, biggest issue would be goal kicking duty if we let Moses go this year.

Only option would be tedesco for the rest of the year.

Lolohea is a goal kicker. He has a 67% success rate.

I don't think he will play fullback in 2018 if Wests Tigers get Latrell Mitchell from the Roosters. Lolohea could then go to the wing.

There is no way Roosters will release Mitchell.

This story is gaining traction. Fingers crossed IC can make it happen:

[Donald_Trump]

Admittedly I haven't seen this guy play but hear good things. Do we want him on the bus? He looks mean.

 

[Guest]

Yes we do.

 

[NT_Tiger]

I'm a yes.

 

[jadtiger]

Yes please at the very least he would be a versatile player in our backline

 

[Russell]

There is a seat on the bus reserved for him - hopefully he wants it.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

I think he would improve with the right coach.
So yes.

 

[Coasttiger]

Yep

 

[underdog]

Change would be as good as a holiday for this bloke, would come on leaps and bounds.

Remember that try that RTS Scored against the roosters in golden point to break their pea-hearts last year? The one where he fends of Fergo to score and win it?

What most people forget is Lolohea set that try up with an incredible barnstorming run through the middle of the paddock, and had enough awareness and soft hands to put RTS in the clear.

He'd be a good-un, and would repay the loyalty in years to come methinks.
