NEWS Wests Tigers set to pounce on Broncos star Anthony Milford: Report

[lynx000]

Here's my shitty two cents worth. Milford is okay, nothing special. Top dollar for me is 400k, honestly. Yes he has potential but he hasn't delivered. When we had Langer, Walters, Lockyer, and some lesser lights who could match those three on the odd occasion we were in virtually every match. I've witnessed matches over the last few years where we simply were never in the game. Milford doesn't seem to possess the metal. That's what you pay a million dollars to obtain. Bird has more metal and desire in his finger than Millionford has in his entirety. I would not even start Millionford next year, he'd be in ISC until he was earning man of the match every damn game. I'd encourage him to look elsewhere for 2020 just so he's aware how much he's really worth. It just might make the bludger wake up.

No, I haven't forgotten his best efforts but for a million bucks I expect them every 1 to 2 weeks not twice a fucking year.

Pretty much agree with this.

whats happening with Blake green..?....ive heard he is on the outta at Warriors...(of course)....anyone know what his cap hold is for 2020..?

 

[Dash]

Our 2019 player of the year? His prop partner? Our future full time hooker. Our future halfback. Our current goal kicking NZ representing winger. That's Haas, Lodge, Turpin, Dearden and Isaako by the way.

Adam Blair was a big reason we were successful in 2015 as well.

On unders? Which one? Certainly not Turpin, Isaako or Dearden, they were all reserve graders or literal children. The only one you can possibly claim is Haas, and that's only with hindsight. 6 years @ ~$500k for an 18 year old can hardly be called unders. Even so, when Bennett signed him he was a child, so he wasn't "lured on unders".

When Bennett's in the conversation

Coming off his wing, dropping easy catches and dropping the ball from hit ups didn't start in 2019 though.

When Bennett's not in the conversation



Not insinuating either of these statements are false, just find the choice of words amusing.

By the way I totally fucked up in my post. I used the word 'metal' instead of the correct word 'mettle'. Thanks Tom, I got that wrong but I really did like metal too.

On the money Huge!! It's symptomatic of our recent issues in regards to accepting mediocrity from our leaders/experienced players. Some of these players are being paid substantially more than others who are putting in twice the effort. What a slap in the face that must be for some of them.

 

[Socnorb]

Yeah but I didn’t say every player stayed or signed for unders when Bennett was here. Bird was also signed on overs under Bennett. But we used to get many players for unders. Now we have to re-sign everyone on overs or sign people without any other options

You can't have it both ways. Our situation at present is more about Bennett than anyone else.

Thanks, mod. The conversation is about who Bennett brought to the club, not how they've gone here.

@Dash hindsight is literally the only way you should judge new contracts. All of them were being offered contracts at other clubs and stayed or joined us on smaller contracts. Haas was being courted by Burgess at the Rabbits, Isaako was offered a large contract by the Roosters, Dearden was being chased by like 6 clubs and Turpin was held in high regard by Storm fans.

Never thought I’d miss Peter Wallace so much.

I can, because Bennett signed plenty of people on unders while at the Broncos. Using absolutes would be dumb. So far Seibold has signed nobodies and everyone else on overs. Dispute that instead of trying to spin it and cherry pick the few times he didn't sign someone on unders.

 

[mitch222]

We can come back to this conversation in a year then. If he is still unable to bring anyone worthwhile to the club then we can consider him a failure or will excuses still be made for him?

100% we can have the conversation next year

Aren't these directly contradicting statements?..

How do we know for sure that anyone Seibold has signed is on overs? Carrigan, Ofahengaue, Pangai Jr, Oates, Lodge, Turpin were all extended by Seibold this season, Staggs & Fifita look likely to follow. There's no way to know for certain whether we've overvalued or undervalued these players until they're at least a halfway through these extensions, right? You're calling them overs before the extensions have even kicked in.. This reeks of agenda.

To be fair, kinda. But I was only talking about players that were brought into the club under the coaches. Not players that were already here. Hence why the entire conversation I've used the 4 players he's brought in as examples. You'd know about agendas. So far he's done nothing to prove that he's a good coach. I only want the team I spend hundreds of dollars on a year to look like they have a clue on the field and make good decisions off it. That's my only agenda.

Providing he hasn't fled the forum after the penny has finally dropped.

Provided every topic doesn't turn into a circle jerk talking about the same shit over and over, I might stick around. Hopefully by then @Nashy has given us the ability to block people again. What penny dropped last time? Boyd and McCullough? Do people still think they were the only problem? Because I never said they were good this year, not fucking once. All I ever said was others were causing problems on the field and deserve some blame as well as requesting that every thread didn't turn into a blame Boyd and Macca thread.

More about Bennett in what way?

 

[Huge]

Never thought I’d miss Peter Wallace so much.

Unlike a lot of others on here I NEVER wanted him gone. When we struggled it was seldom due to him being 'off his game'. A 25 year old Wallace would be brilliant for our team cohesion and direction. Whatever plan Seibold had would be followed in full.

Well I mean even if you're only talking about players Seibold brought in to the club you're clearly fibbing by saying "everyone he's signed has been overs", I highly doubt guys like Kennar, Segeyaro & Kennedy were brought here on more than the base salary.. Not sure what we're paying Arthars, but once again, I doubt it's an absurd amount.

How can you possibly make that statement with confidence?

Not sure what agendas you think I have, I assume you're referring to Ben Hunt, but that wasn't really an agenda, he was actually my favourite player up until the 2015 GF, at which I think he become the least favourite player for a lot of people, not just me.
