Tuimoala Lolohea Signs with WT

[Seantice]

Offer him 400k. thats pretty good to me. Cronulla or raiders cant afford that.

Exactly, Cleary has shown he will not pay big overs, he rattled Moses and Woods, so I think your guess on $ is pretty close

The more new blood the better our lower grades need a clean out as well

Like all "utility" players I think Tui is a victim of his own versatility. In all of the clips and games that I have seen live he has always been in a different position.

I don't think you can read too much into him playing on the wing in reserves considering they have Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad who plays at fullback and is clearly rated as one of their future superstars, hard to imagine they would keep moving that kid around every time Tui comes back down considering he doesn't have a set position at the Warriors at all.

Tui will know that the Tigers are a great fit for him and Ivan being an ex-fullback himself and also having worked with a lot of young Islanders in his time with the Warriors, will be able to bring the best out of his game.

Done deal boys and girls?

 

[Newtown]

If you want to compare Lolohea with Milne you will able to see each play at Campbelltown tomorrow. Each are playing five eight for their respective countries in the 5.30pm match.

Speaking of Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad. He is off contract and is who we should go after. He is going to be a star.

I don't think Milne is playing at five-eight.

I'm 50/50, havent commented on the Lolohea situation yet…. But if the bloke is such a great player you'd think he'd be at the very least playing fullback or 5/8 at reserve grade. He's playing wing....

I have a lot of faith in Cleary so if we do sign him I think Cleary would know how to bring the best out of him.

I'm praying we can bring the best out of him, I wouldn't pay more than 500 k, anything more is overs imo.

Where he fits in and how he will go are unknowns, but he is better than a reserve grade winger.

That is what I can't understand…...if he is languishing in reserve grade why are the Warriors playing hardball with releasing him to us for the rest of 2017? Maybe they have got the sooks because we snaffled Matulino from them? I'm sure WT would be willing to compensate the Warriors if they were to release him for this season.

Maybe it's cos they rate him and they're trying to be like the Roosters.

Maybe Kearney still blames the club for Jarred "Fill" McCrakken

Yep, I think they know well what they have hiding in reggies, and kept him on the wing to try keep him off the radar.

Hell Yes!! Don't get me wrong I'd like to have Tui but I'll swap him, 2 x Big Macs and a years bus pass to get that young gun!!!

Please make that happen IC

McCracken should be filthy on Kearney for nearly making him a quadriplegic. Kearney was a cheap-shotting grub in his playing days.

I thought he sued him in a landmark case, but tbh don't know how it ended?
Kearney isn't much chop as a coach and who knows what he's thinking. I'm assuming he is either keeping him as a plan B, or wants something from us ala Moses and Parra. Difference is one is in reggies, so your question is valid.

Sorry, i just don't understand when people say this. Like it's Cleary's decision alone.

I'll be more than happy with Tui.

Of course its Cleary's decision. He has full control of football operations. So far he is the man and he will make it happen.
