Ben Murdoch Masila

[gronkathon]

T is nowhere near first grade.

Has actually regressed at this point. When you don't give it your all in State Cup you should never get the call up

 

[benched tiger]

The problem also exist in first grade,Blair and Anasta are spectators who masquerade as NRL footballers,we can not afford to keep carrying these two !

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Patterson is 6'4 and 110kg. Big boy.
Taqele will never play first grade.

 

[madunit]

Big T would be great in the NRL, but even with his size, his defence is scratchy & his hands can let him down during games. Koro is better.

 

[benched tiger]

BMM is our most damaging running forward,sure his hands let him down but ffs he is still better than Blair !

 

[Ron's_Mate]

BMM doesn't seem too popular with WT management. There's been a couple of mentions recently that he might be shipped out. Again today at the end of this story about how Benji and Fifita are likely to sign with the Sharks.

"The Tigers could have more money to spend with forward Ben Murdoch-Masila likely to be granted a release. The Panthers are one of his suitors and a deal could be struck before the June 30 transfer deadline."

If it frees up the cash for Tedesco, then sadly that's what must be.

The curse of depth.

 

[Tiger05]

He could be a big loss but we have so many forwards.

 

[Mario chalmers]

He shouldn't be released under any circumstances. He's not reached his full potential and could still be anything.

He should play off the bench this week if gavet is out.

He could easily be another fifita

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Should be third in prop rotation behind Woods and Galloway.
Has been misused as wide running backrower all his Sheenius career.
He is a prop with great potential.

 

[madunit]

If we must release players, then Buchanan should go. Can't believe we'd consider letting BMM go

 

[betcats]

Has he been injured this season? Would like him at the panthers.

 

[Tiger05]

Should be third in prop rotation behind Woods and Galloway.
Has been misused as wide running backrower all his Sheenius career.
He is a prop with great potential.

I like him as a prop but does he deserve a spot over Taupua, Gavet and Ava ? I'm not sure that he does but its a close decision.

 

[gronkathon]

Would like to see him develop.

Do not release him mid season.

Sacrificing genuine depth is a mistake

 

[hybrid_tiger]

I think we will regret this one. IMO he had some very good games last season in a side that was dominated every week.

 

[gronkathon]

He has been a revelation at prop.

Honestly he is better value than Keith

 

[Leaguelegend20]

Never before have I seen a more overrated player.

Everyone talks about his potential, which I can somewhat appreciate, but the bloke is nothing but a plodder.

BMM has been playing first grade for 5 years now, and has barely stood up in his 50 or so games.

I don't give a f**k if we cut him loose.

Several other players are a lot better than he is.

f**k his potential, if he hasn't lived up to it by now, why should we keep him?

Sounds like the exact speech you could have given for Fifita's departure and look how that turned out.

It's a tough one. We have so much depth now and you can't keep them all. I'd definitely be getting rid of buchanan first if possible, he is the definition of plodder. But if getting rid of BMM means we keep Nofo, Siro and Teddy then so be it.

In saying that there is no doubt it could turn around to bite us in the arse. Yes it's still only potential with BMM, but it is absolutey massive potential. It could easily be Fifita all over again.

 

[gronkathon]

Potential is being realised since his move to prop

 

[BrotherJim05]

I've always thought his biggest issue was ball control. Playing at prop I would guess that ball skills is not really required, just needs to charge and bash...charge and bash.

I really hope we can resign him.
