Wests Tigers Team vs Newcastle - Round 21

[earl]

Oh, like I said - no issues with Pole.

It's just not the style Sheens/Benji/Farah are planning.

I'm sure he'll go well, playing the power game.

I'm with you. If we are playing with basically 2 6's and a ball playing half/lock we should try and maintain that style.

Pole is awesome and he will do great but it's not building a style that we want to execute going forward.

 

[stryker 69]

As long as we win and dodge the spoon.

As long as we win and dodge the spoon.

If we don’t , I’ll remember this

If we don’t , I’ll remember this

You going to blame Pole?

 

[The SHADOW]

You going to blame Pole?

I’m running into one.

 

[The SHADOW]

Don’t forget 2GB from 10:45am WT

Ill be listening and off to doctors.

The only other player in the whole squad capable of playing a similar role is Freibarn. There is probably a reason why he is picked on the bench.

 

[weststigerman]

I think Joffa will be playing the lock role despite the number on his back.

 

[tig_prmz]

I reckon Peach may move into the 13- he has the most similar style to Jacko

 

[rihannafan1]

Wouldn't expect any game breaking play from Freebairn. He is a Shaun Spence, Alex Seyfarth type and perfect to have around the team at this stage.

 

[OzLuke]

As long as we win and dodge the spoon.

This will be the match to decide it

 

[westTAHger]

This is the game to achieve the summit of scorelines:
wests tigers 25
knights 18

 

[The SHADOW]

Who’s going ?

I'm sure he'll go well, playing the power game.

It will be very interesting because the Sheens style of play really suits the current game i.e quick play the balls, expansive attack.

 

[Bigscreentv]

I've watched To'a highlights and he can wind up but not electric off the mark. He and Naden would be on par with each other imo.

Yeah, I guess you could go either or in centre. Don't know why, just feel like To'a is better there. Could be that Naden is taller and better for high balls too. As long as they keep improving that's all that matters!

 

[AdelaideTiger]

This game will be a try fest, and I think if the Tigers can continue their new up tempo style of footy they could win by a few.
Bit worried about the bench, but I'm loving the confidence the guys are playing with right now.

And good to see Alex Seyfarth in the (provisional) starting line up. When I've seen him, is a 100% kind of player, although still raw, but with loads of potential, IMHO..

Think we need a better forwards bench , the knights have a huge pack and we need to get over them to win

I think it’s ok if they stay mobile.

 

[hank37w]

Who’s going ?

I'll be there Sunday afternoon.

 

[Adam Doueihi]

surely we beat them their roster on paper is good but are not living up to it at all attack is super pedestrian only scoring one try in 27 tackles against the DOGS not even a defence like penrith or another top 4 team the dogs and there defence has been abysmal. Tigers fans do not fear Adam Doueihi is playing. 13+ tigers way
