Opinion Joe Ofahengaue

[Mr Shhh]

Nah

 

[Big Vibe]

Not sure why this suggestion has been hammered down? He’s short priced favourite to win the Tigers player of the year. Not saying that’s a massive achievement given their roster but he’s been very good for them. Still only 26, certainly wouldn’t say no to a 2-3 year deal if the price is right.

 

[Psycho Doggie]

Nope

 

[turveys asthma puffer]

I’d be happy with Ofangaue. We are in need of another prop for next year.

 

[Disposable Hero]

Ask tigers fan what they think of....

 

[Grimace]

Becomes available for 2023 if the mutual option falls through otherwise we can sign him for 2024 he has been an "unsung hero" at the tigers this is exactly the player we need, gets through many tackles and most makes the most metres in the tigers forward pack every week. Imagine him with reed giving him good service from dummy half.

Thoughts?

You are kidding aren’t you!

No to anymore of these signing suggestions. The next contract we need confirmed is Burton’s long term extension. I'm sure Gus is working on it but we don't want him hitting the open market

Burton isn’t a front rower. We need a prop to replace Paul Vaughan

That doesn’t matter if we can’t afford to re-sign Burton. The best scenario would be to give hik a long term deal including an upgrade for next year

 

[Marki]

Ofahengaui is a classic case of a player who tries and impresses dumb coaches with his "effort" but shouldn't be anywhere near first grade.

He is useless personified.

I often make the comment that any team with him in it, is a losing team. Was the case at Broncos, is the case at Tigers and will be in any team he plays in. I was mortified when QLD picked him. Nearly rescinded my support for them.

 

[CCC]

Is his dad still playing. I’d take him

 

[Artybulldog 26]

Everyone is saying he’s shit and yes he has had some very poor form recently, but this year he’s been one of the best forwards in the comp. It’s just not debatable.
Have had him in my SuperCoach team from when Kimmorly took over Tigers, and he just performs to such a high standard week jn week out. So different even to just the start of the year.

 

[ShepardDog]

You are kidding aren’t you!

Im going off the eye test and from what I've seen recently on the right money it could be a good signing

Not disagreeing that we need to upgrade Burton, but you don’t think we need to replace Vaughan? We have a top 30 squad to fill remember ?

Whether you like the signing or not we have Sutton coming. We’ve already been through this for the last decade. We need quality spine players if we are any chance of winning the comp.

Yep 100% need to focus on the spine. We are still short a 1 and 7 and a back up 9. Spine is still a major concern.

 

[EL Hefe]

He's coming home

You don't think we should work with avo?
I think he has enough quality that you can work with and coach into being a quality nrl standard fullback
Especially after this season, then add some pre season training.
I remember Ben Barba started slow to nail the position

Are u looking for the Reynolds thread? hehe

Yea I don’t mind Avo. He just feels like a another gamble… will he improve with an off-season at the back or not … who knows really. The Ben Barba transformation was exceptional but you don’t see that every year. If had to choose between a new 1 or 7 thou I would go the experienced 7 option. Burto needs more support with game management, kicking etc

If you want a forward to just make hit ups then he could be a solid player who gets you 90m to 120m a game. A team needs 2 to 3 straight hard running forwards in the middle to be successful. If it is the right price then sign him.
