Good , it’s unAustralian to play a game u can’t beat the Poms at.

Hope every Tiger has a Merry Christmas. I must be getting soft in my old age, even going to wish Parra, Manly, Cronulla, Canberra, Melbourne, Newcastle, Cowboys and Souths fans a Merry Christmas.
I’m in lock down on the Northern Beaches. Haven’t left the area since last Thursday and cant make it back to the inner west for Christmas Day, but wont be too long before catching up with family again if things go ok.

@innsaneink said in Merry Christmas:

Merry Christmas boys n Girls… Be safe have fun

Hope you left A beer for your garbo

Forgot to wrap it this year. Wasn’t till i heard the garbo truck that I remembered and managed to run out to personally hand them a six pack

J Reynolds took two steps backwards. Madden and Walters each took one forward

@westy81 said in JAC:

Don’t worry guys JAC is coming, just give it time

I’m sure things will progress a lot faster once the GF is all said and done

I’m trying not to get too emotional invested, to soften the blow if he signs elsewhere.
His speed and exciting natural playing abilities are what we are looking for in a post Benji WTs team.

Yes! I want to win - you won’t IF one of YOUR centres doesn’t fire, IF Talau doesn’t measure up.
Momo goes… What do you do then? Play who in the centre?

Mbye and Doueihi or AJ

Momo’ has asked for a release because there is too much competition for him. The biggest concern is fullback not centre.
I don’t think anyone wants Momo to go because he is a solid player but if we gain a good fullback in exchange that’s better for the team.

Chee-Kam and Thompson drop out of the 21

ABC Grandstand were making a huge deal about Thompson on the outer at the WT’s just before the Manly v Eels game

Slow news day.

Well … it was weird …Moore really rates him as did some fans from other clubs …and the WT’s fans were very split as well

It was never going to be easy to replace Teddy. Papenhuyzen had already gone to Melb. No juniors within the club were ready. Lolohea was not in condition for NRL. Corey did a great in giving us a competent option at fullback. Often he was one of our top three players and could find his way to the try line.
He is too good for State Cup. However, the fullback role is one of the most important positions on the field. You need a top tier player at fullback. I’d like Cory to continue to play for the WestsTigers but if Doueihi holds the fullback position Corey will be getting limited NRL time. I don’t think many WTs fans want Corey to go but would understand if he did.

I met up with a mate (Sharks supporter) at the Occidental hotel (Near Wynyard) last night. He saw Buzz and Dean (Bulldog) Richie walk did. I said those guys are #%$^wits. I didn’t recognise Richie but Buzz’s ugly head is hard to forget. So I fronted him and told me what I thought of the bias he has in his reporting.

Congrats to Asu “AJ” Kepaoa on his NRL debut

The top of any sport in Australia should be representing your country. Not playing again a crap suburb of Melbourne

If Momo was half the player some on here are making him out to be then the storm would have snapped him up and we’d have JAC. Getting Laurie should be number one priority and if it’s at the expense of momo then so be it.

If Laurie was half as good as many on here believe, then he would be Panthers first choice FB. I realise he’s only 21 but has only played 6 games since debuting in 2018.

Laurie made his debut last year…

Did anyone actually see that game? He didn’t do much

Not saying he doesn’t have potential, just saying people should manage expectations a bit

No. Didn’t get to watch them. Just had a look at his player profile on NRL.com.
1 Roosters (Won 35 - 0) Laurie Interchange played 18 mins
2 Knights (Lost 16 - 4) Laurie Interchange played 18 mins

Just watched the video. Mbye spoke very well.
Hopefully it was just my screen (Or the lighting) but the colours on the jerseys looked Red and Black like the Bears

Geeze I hope he stays fit this year, I think he will go gang busters

I agree. If he stays fit i think 2021 Twal will be in his prime.

…* Side note: i think i may have said a similar thing in previous years

If he can’t get regular playing time at the Tigers, where exactly does he think he can?

Penriff are thinking of using him as back up to their injury prone fullback Edwards … if they move Crichton to fullback if Edwards gets injured they will need a ready to fit in centre and this is where Momo’s comes in … but realistically, he’ll still be warming the benches at Penriff … !!

Now that we have jacked up the price for Crichton, Penriff’s piggy bank will be a lot less (hahaha … well played Tigers) they might have to release Laurie earlier then they expected … so a swap with Momo’s and Laurie might be their only escape … !! We need to use this release wisely and get what WE want … !!

Maybe Momo wants to go to the Dogs.

No upside to that for us. No Laurie, no swap, no dough no nothing.

People are assuming the Pamfers - not necessarily.

The only thing, we get out of him leaving - is loosing a good centre. Yes, a good centre.

Nobody is doubting his worth. Unless we get Laurie in return we should not release him as he has value to the team. Nobody is denying that.

the questions is are we a better team with Laurie or Momo In it? I say Laurie provides a much stronger squad due to the depth we will now have in the spine with him here.

Though arguably Momo is the best GK we have, so he probably is worth keeping at this stage, we get Laurie next year anyway, I think we have enough cover for the FB role this season. Laurie is not guaranteed a top 17 spot either?

Look at Lauries resume,he walks straight into the side.

Hope so. That’s want we need.

Just as an aside , has anyone noticed how poorly a lot of clubs have recruited . It’s the Titans at number 1 for me , and then honestly us at number 2 , followed by the dogs and warriors , then it’s crickets to anyone else . It’s surprised me how little some clubs did to improve , especially the ones at the bottom.
I think the sharks , dragons , cowboys , are in for long years . They have definitely gone backwards . Also sneaky gone backwards … the panthers ! They’ve lost Tetevano and Tamou . Both big metre eaters for them , and they’re hoping Eiso picks up the slack apparently . I know they have stars , but that’s some holes to fill.

Yes losing the front row that took them to the GF is a big blow, not to mention losing a good up and comer like Hetherington also! I know they still have the likes of Fisher-Harris, Yeo & Kikau in their pack, but it’s still a big loss for them up front, especially if they are relying on Eiso to fill that void! Despite what many people think, I believe they will miss Mansour also, he’s been the heart and soul of the club for a long time and he always put in.

Fisher-Harris and Yeo had great a season In 2020.
Kikau was hit and miss with a lot of errors in his game. If they move him to the middle to cover the loss of Tamou he want be as effective.
