Wests Tigers Forum

I've been impressed with Clearys tactics. He seems to break down the opposition really well.

22-10 Tigers

FTS Brooks

MOM - Ailoia

The Tigers have been gutsy plenty of times. The early 2000's we were gutsy with players like skandalis,oneil and galea. Only difference is that these guys play for 80 minutes..

Maybe he can switch to left wing in ISP to improve his chances of first grade? Just a thought. 400k+ is a lof of money for a reserve grade winger. Tui's kicking keeps him in first grade. Thompson is a more c complete winger than Nof. So he waits for now. And $800k is a lot for our marquee 5/8 to pl...

Gutherson is the only player id take from the Eels. the rest are worse than useless..

What about Aaron Grey? Played wing mainly at souths but also played Centre often. Hes doing nothing at the sharks.

Even though Tommy and Jake played ordinarily the other day, you can still build a team around them two. They have a decent side. A top 8 side. There just not consistent enough. No depth either.

Did anyone notice with 33 mins to go? Benji puts in a kick that makes a magpie sitting on the halfway line of brooky shout loud enough for the TV to pick it up. A good sign.

Probably Uate croaking after hed drop the ball...... again.....

Yeah I'd be more worried if I was Josh Reynolds than Luke Brooks Brooks and Cleary can play either side of the ruck Yes. never saw the interest in Reynolds. Though I must admit from a social off the field player he is doing great for the Tigers. Hes the kinda player to bring teams closer together. ...

I rate Ponga highly but that goose step of his has a touch of the Blake Austin dummy about it... Ponga has become so predictable in going to the outside after the jink and trying to set up players especially fitzgibben. We have a rushing defence so itl take that out of play hopefully. Must watch ou...

Brooks and Clearly would work fine. Brooks is playing like a 5/8 anyway.

Looking forward to seeing Aloiai on the edge. Hopefully he terrorises for us!

I agree. Do people not remember he played 20 games on the edge in 2016? If you think he goes well in the middle, wait til you see him on the edge. That's a really strong forward pack..

32 tries frofrom 62 games? Wow..

Why does everyone assume he'll play centre? He has pace and is a good size for fullback..

Because he has played virtually his entire career at centre and we have lost a few centres in Milne and Suli who have gone unreplaced...

He just needs to put on 5kg...

Yes Coote is injured more than he plays. Not sure who we could get for a fullback.

They have plenty of skill and toughness. Cogger and Pearce will take a bit to gel

SKD has a few errors in him a game. Hopefully benji has those bombs ready

Just thinking the same. He's going to get peppered.
