Outside of the glaring "Overpaid Duds" issue which is raised anywhere and everywhere the main problem I can see with this mix of players is the fact that there is next to no experience in the outside backs.
Is Henry Lealuga-Puhotau still with the club? https://www.weststigers.com.au/news/2019/03/28/henry-lealuga-puhotau-joins-2019-development-squad/ Have not heard anything about him this year?
Doesnt add up if 28 players is the limit for 2021?
He should show our young blokes the way to go, I always hoped Packer would be the one, but not to be.Twatter post
It’s 30Left Momirovski off the list although his contract extension has never confirmed.
If Momirovski is contracted that would mean 27 contracted players.
They've just discussed WT at length on NRL 360.
Addo Carr, Tamou and Jack Hetherington all mentioned as targets. Also indicated Reynolds and Packer were definitely staying. That would leave us with 30 contracted players. Doesnt add up if 28 players is the limit for 2021?
Nah he said “and with the roster size decreasing that makes it harder for him” which is truehttps://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/nr...y-cap-cut-by-10-per-cent-20200909-p55u1p.html
Interesting. They've retained the roster size at 30 but cut the cap by 10%. I remember Benji stating that the roster being cut was a reason the club couldn't retain him but that wasn't factual.
That would leave us with 30 contracted players. Doesnt add up if 28 players is the limit for 2021?
I really hope we are chasing hetherington
I think he is a gun
Would really add to the pack

The point is Benji didn’t lie like you impliedIt's staying at 30. It was a non issue. It's time for him to go.

Breaking @WestsTigers are set to finalise a 2 year deal with @PenrithPanthers prop James Tamou from 2021 @7NewsSydney @7NewsBrisbane

You’ve got a good spin there ...you aught to be in salesI don't think he lied. That definitely wasn't what I meant. The squad size isn't official yet and there have been rumors it would be decreased to 28. I think Benji thought the squad size being reduced made it harder for the club to retain him.
The reality is that Benji isn't playing consistently like a first grader and the club had to move him on regardless of the squad size.
And “Glockers” was it ..take a bowSee Brother John anything is possible..
