Winger Problem Solved..

Winger wouldn't have been a problem and this thread would've been irrelevant if we hadn't stupidly let go of Ado-Carr! That boy gonna be a star and we let him slip :brick:

I put my Wests Tigers calendar up yesterday and there he was first up in January - in full colour scoring a spectacular try (ironically against Melbourne) just to rub salt into the wounds :frowning:

Highly doubtful that JAC will be a star. Sure he will score a few scintillating tries ie Koro but will let in a shed load of easy tries as well in defence ie Koro. Very hit and miss.

I would've taken it back for a refund! :laughing:

Yes he makes plenty of mistakes in defence, but he is still young. There is no doubting he has the X factor, imo and he will grow as a player within the Storm culture.

Are you trying to say were not pleasing to the eye TT 😢

I know Geo makes the Elephant Man look like Hugh Jackman but …...
 
Relax guys, JAC will be another Nathan Merritt. A finisher who was just on the end of a good back line. Not a game changer. JAC hasn't shown me enough X factor. I will be surprised if he plays rep football. He is very slender and I'm afraid that he will have injury problems in the future. I like the idea of Simona on the wing. Maybe Ryland Jacobs in the centres or Cheeks? This also eliminates the need for Golden boy Rankin. Then, we cut Lovett, blood Masters or Paseka, and sit back and watch the lads win comps. Trumpy.

Hey Trumpy,you don't seem to have an opinion of Idris…he could be the X Factor this year..

JAC if he can settle into life in Melbourne will blossom under Belly ache like most players who head south. Young Siro should have made the same trip if he was serious about kick starting his career.

As for Lovett while JT is at the club he will not be going anywhere and if he improves at the same rate in 2017 he just may surprise a lot of people. He was far from our worst in 2016\. Masters and Paseka look good prospects but they are going need to get bigger engines before making the gains step up in class to the NRL

Lovett cops so much undeserved flak. There's a perception that unless you are a gun you are a bum. Lovett will develop into a classic middle of the road player. And there's nothing wrong with those players. Every team needs them.

Trouble is, we have too many like that, and not enough class.

That's been our problem for a very long time.

GNR is right GCT we need middle of the road workers..in time when we have money maybe we can be astute and buy some class players in needed positions or a couple of our juniors could come good,we just cant go out and buy a heap of class players with peanuts(the old saying,you pay peanuts you get monkeys)see what I did there.?? anyway the last player we did buy that I can clearly say was Ellis who was all class and a great backrower…there have been others but he stands out for me...

I agree that he cops undeserved flak, but disagree on the rest.
He may be a MOR player in our squad, but he's absolutely on the lower end of NRL-rostered talent across the competition. He wouldn't make the regular 17 of any of the top teams.
Lawrence is a MOR player these days - and he's our best backrower.
 
Someone asked my opinion on Idris and I can't be bothered to search through the posts. The way I look at things is all about price point. We got him quite cheap and we know what he is capable of. I'm an optimist and I'm going to say that he will be good for us with a chance of great. Re Lovett, Rankin - they sum up what we have been about for a long time - mediocrity. And we've all had enough of that haven't we. I think Elijah Taylor has been the most astute buy since Gareth Ellis. Geez speaking of imagine if we could have the 2010/2011 version of him again. If you want another astute buy, I would have gone after Fensom who will keep that middle tight all day.
