Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[watersider]

He is all about self preservation. Same as in attack, he never, ever takes a hard hitup. He‘ll let the small forwards and the wingers do the dirty stuff then he’ll jog it up on tackle 4 or 5, trying to score post contact meters, all the while causing a slow play the ball. This pads his stats which helped him play Origin and Test footy.

He actually was a really good player for a time, I think he used to run harder. I think you're right about self preservation strategy, even in his last year's at our club when he was still a rep player he got into running backwards-slow play the ball-weak defender trick.

I started to feel a bit sorry for him when i got the this news. He really made a bad call leaving.

I watched him closely on Monday, and his go forward and 2nd phase play is good. Problem is his defence. JWH came on and his first run ran straight at Woods and through him. No footwork, no bracing with a big bump, just ran straight through him.

Sorry KS

I have zero sympathy. He took the money to go to the dogs when we needed our captain.

I even refuse to listen to 2MMM when he is on.

On my list for life.

We have been quite creative at getting 4 on 3’s using Hastings deep into the line and playing out the back.

A. Hastings will get a broken nose soon
B. Wingers will start racing in and clobbering the last passer

That’s my tip.

Having Laurie helps.

This week will be interesting with our injuries saints have a decent team on paper.

Woods still hopeful for next season. He really wants back in

Name the goal post padding after him.

And Ravalawa loves creasing people

Ken is lethal in the air but he still doesn't play the 80 minutes..Goes in and out of games. I like him but he just coasts alot. Like Nofo last year 🤔.just feel our wings need to be on the top of their game.

Toa can play wing, centre and fullback? Why can't he be the no 14?

To'a looked good in the centres, he's got a bit of speed it sucks that Laurie had to get injured

 

[LeichhardtTiger]

Top clubs always seem to have quality fullbacks so I agree, another specialist would be good.
After the trials I thought Dillon was a goodin.
What the hells happening with him. Does he think he's better than reserves and gone looking.
Something is not right, I smell a rat, and it's not my slippers.

Tonight's a good time to watch Nikora to see if he worth 650k

Not needed after tonight.

 

[tigertye]

What's he doing these days?

Probably sitting around not returning phone calls.

 

[JC99]

Even if you ignore all the history Woods has with the club he's still not a good signing. He's past it now, just doesn't have the legs anymore

 

[Roar_Power]

Daejarn Asi apparently joined the Warriors this week from the Cowgirls. I think we were looking at him at one point. Its a shame as he has talent.

Anyone thinks of playing Doueihi at centre needs to realise that he would be one of, if not, the slowest centre in the comp. And you Simply cannot play him alongside Maumolo or Noffa. It's suicide to play two slow players side by side. If Doueihi plays centre we need to find a winger to go outside him. Maybe Peni

from 2019:
The fastest player in the NRL · 1. Josh Addo-Carr 38.5 km/h · 2. David Nofoaluma 36.7 km/h · 3. Latrell Mitchell 36.6 km/h · 4.

Why do people say Nofoaluma is slow? Sure he isn't as fast as he was, he is still pretty fast.
I really don't get it, Defense is our problem on the wing not Speed! Ken M is still pretty good. Yes both David and Maumolo have slowed a little, both are still pretty fast.

Hey happy to send a winger to the glue factory if both have slowed down. But we signed a 500k 5 year contract on Nofo, so it's going to be expensive glue we would be making in his case. Maybe we shouldn't have done that but we did....

Wingers, were fine and if were not we have made our own nest.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Come on.. we know the history. If he had his time again he would of done it differently. I think he he could add something and he could help the jnrs coming through

I’d do a lot of things in my life differently to if I had the chance but no one gets that opportunity so you have to live with the consequences of your actions. Not welcome

While true, I reckon if Tedesco wanted to come back we’d all welcome him with open arms

With woods, he is just an average player and all the added baggage just amplifies how bad it would be to bring him back

It’s like taking your ex that play up on you back. She is either dead hot or her old man owns a brewery. Dora is not hot and I don’t like beer anymore.

 

[Cobarcats]

Not needed after tonight.

I agree. If you go purely on tonight performance you would have to say no.
I have watched a lot of his footy because he is very much like the rock of the Warriors in Curran. Also his stats tonight were surprisingly good.
Put it this way, if we were to sign him, I wouldn't be slashing my wrists.
I think the 650k might be overs, what do you think?
Before you make a decision, google his YouTube highlight package.

Yep. Even though Teddy seems to have lost a yard of pace this year he is still an elite level player. Woods isn’t.

IMO Woods did the most damage to the Wests Tigers brand during the "Big 4" era. Nothing made us look more like a second rate club then our captain leaving the administration on read for months of negotiations, publically pursuing opportunities at multiple clubs and doing an extremely selfish unenlightened tell all interview which painted the club in an awful position.

He was a Tigers junior, our most capped representative player and had took on the baton as ambassador of our club though captaincy. He basically flushed any respect the club the had in recruitment circles down the toilet while wearing the armband.

I'm so happy Madge didn't welcome him back. We need to set our value, show that we are a club that deserves a positive public image. Taking back Woods is the professional equivalent of taking back the ex that proudly boasted about their promiscuity. He doesn't just get his fairytale just because it's the morally "right" thing to do. He is a declining below average forward who devalued the club while holding its highest honour.

The Manner in which it was done was particularly disrespectful.

Both Woods and Mitch Moses are enemies for life.

Well written, my thoughts exactly!
