@helmesy agree, Joffa has the experience to fill a whole for parramatta and is replaceable and not top dollar either for parramatta.
@helmesy I kind of wish he could have another crack at fullback with a coach like Sheens,.I think a spine of
9. Api
7. Moses
6. Brooks
1. Douhie
would go OK with our pack. If Douhie could work on defence he is big enough to play ball playing lock and runs well
I would have loved to have seen him excel at Fullback.

New claims on the WTF that apparently came from a Wests Ashfield board member that Moses signed with the Tigers last Thursday. Clubs are apparently trying to work out immediate swap.
i hope this is right but i think they are just speculating, was he really there watching a training session? Surely there would be a photo, unless there is a backdoor into the Zurich Centre
welcome to the forum 👍 I think he might have been watching online like Bateman.

@helmesy just a bit slow and out of position in the past, kind of wondering was that bad coaching ?
@helmesy Joffa really....i thought he was our best last year joel
Yep, good guy and all but limited imo.

He had moments at fullback where I thought, wow he could be Tommy Turbo like, then moments where you just wanted him dropped.
I think he could do it if his heart is in it. Sure he won't be the fastest number 1, but I think he is deceptively quick. If Moses comes, I think its worth another try.
@garry he is replaceable we have forwards coming through
Disagree, he adds things to this team that you can't replace and if we go with a player that has been at the club previously, he should be our captain.

@garry how many minutes do you think he plays ? do you think he plays lock without Bateman?
@helmesy I would have klemmer, Papali, Bateman and Stef all infront of Joffa in the forwards.
I’m flabbergasted.I know the NRL horse trading is just par for the course,but where does loyalty and respect for services rendered enter the argument.
Joffa showed so much courage in adversity last year,and implored his teammates to look inwards in an effort to rally the side in its darkest hour.To me that is the quality that should not be thoughtlessly or arbitrarily jettisoned.Joe is steeliness personified,a quality that has been lacking at the Wests Tigers for too long.
