From the Sydney Morning Herald article on papali'i last night:
Wests Tigers are still in the market for an “experienced centre or back-rower who can play centre” for 2022.
Lol.
Aka a “shock troop” utility.
Not the easiest of assignments.
I was reading that Doogie is the fourth best 5/8th in the comp. He must be close.
Seems to me “attitude and application” is becoming an essential criterion for r&r.
Talent and performance are other measures.
So jtj is said to have the 3 of the 4. Depressing for him. Do all that work and fail at the business end.
He’d be on his way if we didn’t like him.
Reviewing the Scott matter, it seems Tim rang him and my bet is that he disclosed his stalking charge to the supreme commander and that was it.
So there’s an alleged issue there in application to task to being a player with no current baggage.
There was a rumour he has a good defence but we will see. I hope so anyway.
