Rumours and Stuff

you guys are delusional

West Tiger fan calling another clubs fan delusional

We have plenty of players in his position already on the books to take his place if he doesn't work out. Essentially he'll likely be player 17 (the third middle forward on the interchange) in our top squad going forward.

I'm not sure what the big deal is in reality.

I agree with all of that....

The fact that you think that Tigers are paying half Joffa salary, and that Matto is getting even less than that is delusional.

Mate I am super-lusional about the Tigers

You would think at present this has something to do with the temporary change in the 6. It's probably also no coincidence that for the first time in his career at the club Sivo went 3 games without scoring a try.

Even before we lost our normal 6, it was more often Brown running it on his own, Brown to Lane who would run it, or within the 30 or so, Gutho chiming into the backline and Sivo getting the ball off a quick shift play or cut-out pass from Gutho.

What was Joffa on at Tigpies, $650k?

Matterson is not being paid $650k

I suspect there is some historical aspects to this, we haven't had a great player at Left Centre since Jenko left.

Not great by any means but Opacic used to run it a bit.

Misread you post as saying that Matterson was on less than half of Joffas salary.

Would be a fun finals run if they started next week

week 1 away to Canberra
Week 2 away to Melbourne
Week 3 away to New Zealand

at least we’d be used to the cold

#bookmarked for next year.....

What you see is what you get. There is no extra gear.

Nah bullshit, he was excellent last year: https://www.nrl.com/players/nrl-premiership/eels/joe-ofahengaue/

He just needs an off season with a bunch of pros.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

How does he look at Parra?

He's catching up. Made over 100 metres for us for the first time last night.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Exactly what i said he was, a solid workhorse middle at best. Another poor signing IMO.

With our defensive record you don't think we needed workhorses?

 

[Poupou Escobar]

We shall find out soon as he is still off contract for next year

Must be huge demand for him, like there was for Waqa Blake. Teams love spending big money on outside backs.

I reckon Matterson would be on more than $650k. Ofahengaue would be on less.

I said when he fell for Gus BS Reed wouldn't last the 4 years.

If things don't change Gus will have him on the block next year.

Storm won't finish Top 4, they'll struggle to make the Top 8 if we beat them this week.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

I am more confident about winning in Melbourne than I was about beating the Cowboys.

What about the Townsville effect of backing up a week after.

No chance mate, it’s impossible winning a game the week after playing in Townsville even Gus says so FFs!!
