Rumours and Stuff

Lol, what happens if he gets a season ending injury

Deal is off.

"As is the case, Ofahengaue will need to undergo a second medical assessment with the Eels, if he ends up playing against the Cowboys.

An injury could put the deal in jeopardy."

WHat happens if he does a hip drop and gets suspended for 5 rounds

They built a team that won two thirds of its games since 2019 ffs. They must be doing something right.

And they also have built a team that has won 2 thirds of f**k all.

Absolute madness from the Tigers. Why on earth would they risk a player they’re trying to get off the books?

 

[hineyrulz]

Moses is now official but whoever approved this post on IG should be fired.

My moneys on Pou.

 

[hineyrulz]

Surely we asked he doesn’t play this weekend?? lol amateur hour all round.

I don't see how that's cherry picking, it's the full sample of the games he started at prop last year.

I dunno, but listing his games at lock in response to questions around his ability at prop seems a tad pointless?

For the record he's started at Prop around 25 Games, and Lock around 40, the rest are off the bench.

You and your valid stats........

He is not a prop. If he comes over to you guys, lets revisit this conversation.

 

[Tiger5150]

Unlike Papali’i, Ofahengaue is a good defender. He is a toiler with some size, which is just what we need.

Joe has exactly the same issues as Papali'i when he gets tired.

 

[Tiger5150]

You should of took it out

Is Gronk MoN?

 

[eels_fan]

Joe has exactly the same issues as Papali'i when he gets tired.

Given the minutes RCG and Paulo play, he will be lucky to ever play more than 30mins unless one of them is out, so he won’t get tired

 

[Tiger5150]

NRL360 revealed his wages. We’d be insane if we were paying full freight especially if Saifiti is available for $700k.

*fabricated

 

[Tiger5150]

But supposedly they have a pack that is so much better then ours that they just offloaded one of their excess quality forwards to us.

He should be thriving at the Tigers.

We do have a better pack than yours as we saw at Homebush. The point is you have better halves than ours that put Papali'i in holes.....which is why we spent 6 months driving up the price for Moses

This is just our luck to actually happen too…

 

[Eelogical]

I don't buy into that. What else is he going to say? Brads ok but happy to play under anyone

Yep. It's just media spin on his part. He's just avoiding a collision.

 

[Tiger5150]

It literally says Prop on his official player profile: https://www.weststigers.com.au/teams/nrl-premiership/wests-tigers/joe-ofahengaue/

So what? It says halfback next to Luke Brooks.

 

[Tiger5150]

They gain much needed cap space. They let Blake go shortly after extending him as well.

Blake who?

nah, we're nice guys

 

[Tiger5150]

Tigers looking like idiots again haha.

Wouldnt they look more like an idiot if they let him go knowing Pole was crook?

 

[Tiger5150]

When everyone is fit:

RCG
Hands
Paulo
Lane
Cartwright/Doorey
Hopgood

Matterson
Ofahengae
Greig
Hodgson/Maka/Doorey

Looks a look stronger. Maybe Joe plays right edge initially?

Ive heard it on good authority that Joe is a prop.
