I have a big soft spot for the Tigers, well, Wests and the Wests Tigers I should say, I've bought some Wests Tigers clothing, it really is a mixture of emotions I have regarding J Aloiai, he has been good recently.
Yes he’s a very good player.
No doubt he was targeted because Des was very unhappy with your forwards and he is extraordinarily capable. On a good day, he can rip in and change the direction of games.
Lacks some consistency.
tbh there was less hostility at the Tigers towards Manly than Josh because he sulked and carried on. He was juvenile and unprofessional. We were sick of him. We sent the message that he was going to be very expensive and we were happy to stand him down for punishment.
From the Manly perspective, he’s a great buy and Des as a great coach should get him humming along consistently.
You paid overs for him, but as I said, he can deliver so it could be an astute purchase. It’s not like he’s a flop etc.
The cash helped us build the biggest pack in the nrl!
Tigers as a second team is welcome. Any constructive interest in the club from anywhere is welcome.
DCE is my favourite sea eagle. He’s a legend of a bloke.
