Wests Tigers Team v Penrith Rd 18

I hope we can put a full strength team on field next week against cowboys
I think backline IMO
Laurie,Nofo,Brooks,Naden,Maumalo,Douehi,Hastings
This is backline we need
Naden back ,Brooks to center no kicking game required, Hastings to where he can direct play
Tomorrow backline has 3 of this 7 and I hope they surprise but not confident

Brooks in the centres?
 
I'm from the camp wanting to move Brooks on but its not going to happen this year I don't think .So he is a strong runner and can tackle but his kicking game and 5th tackle options usually a shambles so in the centers we can use his strengths but not relying on his weakness
Just an idea
Q: Is Luke Brooks part of your long-term plan?

A: I’d like to see Brooksy stay. Under Benji’s influence it will be very interesting. In 2018 he was Dally M halfback of the year. He nearly won the whole award. You don’t just lose that talent. It’s up to us to help him find that form again. Benji has that ability to get through to people. He always has. As he’s got older he’s become a great mentor. I really think they’ll work great together.
 
Love Joffa in the front row, that's his position. Done well at lock but isn't the answer at 13. Brooks at 7 is absolutely and utterly regression. Play Madden
Brook's should have a blinder tomorrow, no cleary to bother him, an almost reserve grade to play against, but it wont surprise me if he runs about 40mtrs, misses 5 òr 6 tackles, and makes 4 errors, kicks ball into opposition about 3 or 4 times, out on the full ?? 2 or 3, ‽???? What have i missed, why really is this club petrified of dropping him ive been waiting for nine years.

Best way of tigers possibly winning a game is if you keep brooksy in the dressing room. Because he helps us lose games more than win them.

bring brookes in when we get a penalty
 
From WT:
James Roberts and David Nofoaluma have both been ruled out through illness.

Asu Kepaoa will start in the centres for Roberts and Junior Tupou replaces Nofoaluma on the wing.
I think JTJ and Nofo live together or at least did. I remember some fluff story about how they were gunna tear it up together coz they were living together and playing on the same side of the field.

Kicking a 40/20 and then dropping it on the next play.
