WT Player Recruitment & Retention for 2021

[bigsiro]

Anyone looked at the kennel lately? There’s excitement building around Momirovski, they think he’s had a falling out with Coach? I know those dogs supporters aren’t reliable, but are they on a scent?

The only scent they are on is sniffing their own Butts
Momorovski is a keeper
Unless we can do a trade, upgrade a position for us
We would also be back to one goal kicker in Doueihi with Mbye as a back up
If that happens and Doueihi goes down we are out of the 8 again for sure

G’day Cairnsy, lol they’re a hopeless rabble, definitely sniffing something ?
Just thought I’d put it out there. I think if Moma isn’t in our team we struggle to make the 8.
Hope you’re not getting more than you can handle from that low. Stay safe.

What more could you ask for
I think Momorovski going to another club would be a lose to us
One of the few, if not the only player at our club to score a try in a grand final and to win a premiership
Momorovski is the type of player who won't let you down (except for a very important goal kick) but I won't hold that against him
Unless we have an upgrade and another goal kicker option, I would keep him

Momo played in a grand final and scored a try?

Yep for Roosters. He actually wasn’t bad in that game. Sadly he has never been as good since.

He is C grade at best (which, for us would normally be an improvement). Our current centres are better than him - and that says something. It’s probably the only position that we have covered! Let’s move on from Momo and get a skilled back with speed, and hopefully one who can actually kick!

Really he scored a try , u , me and twenty other people could have scored that in that team so that’s no plus

But you had to have been in the side to do it😂

He scored a few for storm...... and had assist

He played in the major semi, not the GF.

Oh yeah right. He looked good!

I've mentioned a number of times that Momo is a smart footy player.
He's scored a few tries that that didn't look all that fancy but still involved quite a bit of work that a hell of a lot of other players would not have been able to pull off.
Cairnstigers mentioned that goal that Momo missed, but as disappointed as he would have been, managed to keep his head up and got on with it.
Plenty of other players would have been badly affected by that and would have had their heads down and their confidence rocked.
I think Momo is smart and mentally tough which makes him a keeper in my book.

I think Momo going there would a loss for us. He wasn't let go to The Drizzle because he's no good. He undoubtedly developed down there and I think he could have a breakout year if our pigs are going forward. Unless JTJ is looking the goods physically and psycholologically we would be crazy to release him.

"the drizzle" :grin: :grin:... good one @mikey.

 

[TigerBlood93]

Doubt the dogs are after him, they just signed Cory Allen, I swear they have more backs than forwards. If anything Momo has a better chance starting with us

Where did they get the money for that?????

I read all the talk about Momo and I think I see a Problem:
We cant be too Specialised.

People say we should Hire Mansour from Penrith, we have Nofo, Talou, Mbye and Momo. Why do we need an at best B grade winger? (If we were loosing Nofo,??? Maybe).

What happened to Flexibility? What happened to Utility? Manly had every player do a fair bit of time out of position. When Tommy Turbo went down, he could be covered.

If Mono cant play Center because Roberts and BJ play better. Why cant he play wing.
Why cant BJ play wing, where he can be a beast and have Momo play center inside?

Why cant Momo play 1? He is listed there for us Game 1 on NRL.com

Adam Doulieni seems willing to play anywhere from 1-7. I think Momo is a great player and someone we want in our team. But we need to have more flex and utility. If he cant grab a vacant spot from 1-7 or force himself into the spot he wants then maybe we dont want him.
We should surely not be thinking to hire Mansour when Momo or Talou could match him in performance on the wing.

Each position in the backline (not including halves) has subtle nuances where you either need the ability to tackle one on one, to catch kicks, additional pace, exceptional fitness or positional play and if you are 10% off in that area NRL coaches will exploit you. I think Momo is a centre.

Momo is a centre. BJ is a centre. Nofo is a winger. Mbye is the utility. Font need 6 utilitys in the team. We would come last.

Momo goes good on wing too. Plus our best goal kicker

I expect hand grenades after these comments,but many of these players mentioned will be fighting for their lives in 2022.

 

[jrtiger]

with the apparent re-signing of Nofoaluma, we have locked down all of what I class as the 'essential' re-signings. the only off contract players we now have are MCK, Cini, Liddle, Madden, Mikaele, Packer, Seyfarth and Walters, all of which are players that will either be shown the door or will have to perform to show their worth going forward. I would expect Liddle and Mikaele to be retained (pending onfield performance) and potentially Madden, but other than that, 2022 will be another year of major squad turnover.

I think we all expect to see Packer released. Unless we can give him a space on a low ball salary for 12 months and use him as an off the bench player... but I would bet my left testicle he wont be in a Wests shirt after the end of this season.

MCK - there were rumours he was leaving at the end of last season. With his prevalence for head injuries over the course of the last couple of years, as much as he is a solid utility player, I can certainly see him being released.

Packer is off-contract at seasons end and there is no way he'll at the WT beyond that. MCK also unlikely to be re-signed.

Well, all I can say at this time is kudos to Hartigan and co for their recruitment and roster management. The recruitment has been wonderous compared to previous seasons bargain basement signing. It shows a complete reversal of previous thinking of anything but youth. Whether this is Roosters thinking transferred to us oe not, I'm happy and think its the beter way to go in roster and salary cap management
