Tyrone Peachey Signs until 2023..

[cochise]

I like this signing. Having a third prop/middle forward as a lock is outdated.

I’m nervous about this sentiment. There are a handful of clubs that are making a small lock work. The clubs that have a small lock have the luxury of a dominant pack. The two most successful teams have Finucane/NAS at lock and the likes of Yeo.

Our pack gets dominated most games (ultimately) , I’m not sure one less big body will help us.

Yeah I wouldn't be playing him at 13 unless injuries strike. To me he's a better 14 than Mbye. As far as 13 goes, I'd be running a combination of Seyfarth and Simpkins in the middle of the field.

Simpkins needs a really big offseason

I don't think that will be a problem for him. I just hope the club trains smarter - it was clear our game plans this year were garbage - we need better structure in attack and defence, then we'll see some of these younger players really start to develop.

With a good offseason I can see him making similar improvements to what Stefano made this year.

Doesn't matter how big or small your lock is as long as they can distribute the ball. Ideally you have big strongp forward who does it like Yeo who does it for Penrith and Welch who does it for Storm. Peachey in a team like ours will get caught out defensively a lot I feel

Hopefully not with a decent defensive assistant coach that could change big time .

Hopefully Musgrove comes back better , he certainly adds some size to the pack, needs a big offseason

I doubt he could come back worse

Very correct .....most clubs would sell their own Grandmother if they could get Taumalolo .....

I think Peachey moves to bench when Taumalolo signs

Not if they have to pay him $1M per year when he's 34, which as it stands the cowboys will have to do..

I really can't see the point in getting Peachey. I see him as a similar style player to Moses Mbye, probably better than Mbye, but older and past his best.

A utility player? Didn't we bring in Jackson Hastings for that role?

Jackson Hastings is required to play Halfback as we don't have any others

OK ..so the KOE side is sorted ...who plays 7 in the NRL side

Absolutely NO comparison between Peachey and Mbye.

Mbye played FB and 9 at times, ie running spots, and still only averaged 50 meters. Peachey ran for almost 100.

Peachey can be hot or cold...but he always has a crack and is bloody competitive. MUCH better runner, kicker, defender, and all effort areas...

He will be an excellent signing.

Cover 6 whilst AD is out.
Cover center whenever needed.
Perfect 13 for the modern game.
Gets repeat sets with his kicks.
Perfect 14 also for the modern game.

Major upgrade.

If all you say is true, ***why are no other clubs interested***? Surely he would of been snapped up long ago. I think the lack of genuine interest from 15 other clubs speaks louder than whatever any of us can say here. At 200K worth the risk , even to play in reserves. 400k takes money away from securing a young & up & coming WT player that the smarter recruiters( eg Melbourne or Roosters ) will recognize the potential & snavel , after The WT have done all the work in developing. I understand most,if not all contributors here want the same thing, that is a successful WT club. But Peachy is not the answer. Could end up being part of the ongoing problem.

Because they have better rosters and having Peachey doesnt make their roster stronger. We have a weak roster and Peachey makes it stronger and is available and affordable

Have to agree to disagree.I think I understand what you are trying to say, but why should we have to buy the players no one else wants? The Storm & Roosters have those stronger rosters because they built them, they have built that culture , like we once had with our maiden premiership with a team built around our local juniors. That culture then attracts the good players to the club that they lack(as shown by them poaching Tedesco, Addo carr Pappy etc) Its not that we dont have the talented players, we spend way to much time looking outward to fix the problems.
As shown in the past you cant buy that culture & whether a player is dear or cheap, if they dont have the Tiger in their heart nothing will change. It has to come from within the club. Whether he adds to the club only time will tell but for long term success we need to develop from the club. I think Tim Sheens is will be instrumental in this & I believe there are better times ahead.

But it's been widely reported that there ARE other clubs interested. Brisbane, Canberra and Parra have all been linked to Peachey as well as us. So your entire point is invalid.

Plus the paypacket we would have to offer him would likely need to be more than any other club currently because we are so on the nose reputation wise

I'd give Hastings a chance before I would play Brooks. I'd happily take Fogerty and let the Raiders take Brooks

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Every player needs a big offseason.

The whole team needs to lift 300%.

Doubt the club will be offloading its player of the year. He will start at 7

If that award was chosen on effort and ability like the player of the year award then I would agree with you. If Brooks plays 7 we lose. Simple as that

Don’t have any better options unfortunately

 

[Aceshigh]

No need to bag Hastings as yet he hasn’t played for us , give the bloke a chance we have nothing to lose
