TEAM LIST Wests Tigers Team v Parramatta Eels

[Lachlan Galvin's #1 Fan]

Hastings at 7 is the right call. Brooks should have been a running 5/8 from round 1.

Brooks should have been a 5/8 years ago when it was clear he was unable to manage a game.

 

[TigerVinnie]

Brooks final chance no. 347

I promise this one is his last...

 

[GCfan]

So the 5-captains are going well..

Yeah, Madge realised he needed a couple of extra captains in Reserve grade so sent Peach Kenny

 

[Curaeus]

Looks like Mr Sheens is finally getting involved

If we suffer another heavy loss it will be interesting to see who gets the blame

 

[GCfan]

P

This is a big issue. Simpkin isn't any better than Liddle. Neither of them have been good. They both struggle to give us 20 quality minutes per game.

Hastings to 7 is the huge call that had to happen. To'a to replace Ken is the right call.

maybe Madge is thinking of moving Hastings to 9 Simpkin to the bench and Madden to 7 or 6 whilst Simpkin is having a rest?

 

[Kul]

Hopefully the road back to first grade for Maumalo is a long and hard one.

Agreed. I've never seen what others see in him.

 

[Tiger Woods]

Team list = musical chairs 😆

@ThaDaBoss pretty new to this forum thing so don't know how to reply to your comment. I agree with your take about peach however all the top sides have a ball playing 13 which we don't have. And with how the game is being played I think is a ball playing 13 is crucial to attacking success. I want hastings there when douihei comes back but in the meantime peach is the only player that can really fit that mould.

Peach has been hopeless and is nothing like the good ball playing locks in the NRL. You can win without one, but not this mob.

That's on Brooks IMO. It's disgraceful a bloke on $950k a year will drift through without putting in and forcing a rookie kid to do his best to take on Brooks's job

Clear gameplan to hand madden the kicking duties. He has now been dropped.

Doubt Madge picked this team, in four years he has been reluctant to make one change , let alone four, whatever happens, Madge is only the mouthpiece , he has been neutralised and not before time

 

[TigerLouis]

I would have selected Peachey in the centre’s as he is quicker & has a better passing game to put his winger away I would also swap Twal & Musgrove for more impact off the bench & I would also make Hastings our captain he is the most vocal & seems to be a leader.

Wests Tigers coach Michael Maguire has made a few changes to his team for Easter Monday’s Round 6 match against Parramatta.

Jackson Hastings returns after serving a three-match suspension, as does James Roberts who missed last weekend’s game due a back injury.

Hastings has been named at halfback with Luke Brooks shifting to five-eighth.


Fullback Daine Laurie was a late withdrawal at Cronulla after testing positive to Covid-19. He’s serving the mandatory 7-day isolation period but has been named to play.

Jacob Liddle has been replaced at hooker by Jake Simpkin.

Ken Maumalo, Tyrone Peachey and Oliver Gildart also drop out of the starting side and are part of the 24-man squad.

I'm pleased to see players get dropped after that pathetic performance on the weekend. The side that is named should not get beaten by a huge score of 30+. I'm over my rants from last weekend, but do not back down from a thing I said. In saying that I hope there is a much improved performance this week.

Which top team is consistently winning without one?

 

[JC99]

Brooks wearing 6 instead of 7 solves literally nothing. He's already tried this before! Hastings claiming his jersey earlier than expected

Liddle deservedly dropped too. Unsure how Nofa keeps surviving every week

 

[Madge]

Doubt Madge picked this team, in four years he has been reluctant to make one change , let alone four, whatever happens, Madge is only the mouthpiece , he has been neutralised and not before time

He made mass changes against Canberra in 2020 as well. He makes changes at times I don’t see how this is Tim Sheens behind if it that’s what you are thinking ?

 

[GNR4LIFE]

6 and 7 are just numbers on the back of the jersey these days.

Brooks has played second fiddle to madden for 2 weeks , 2 and 1/2 if you include the first half against NZ

Madden hasn’t exactly been a stand out.

I agree and that’s why he’s been dropped
