TEAM LIST Round 1 vs. Titans

[getagrip]

Well balanced team 1-17

Someone explain to me the logic of having Twal on the bench?

He's there to score tries...

 

[SeanT]

I'd have had Tupou over Nofa

Agree 100%

 

[Merlot]

no obvious battering ram on the bench,but i like it

 

[Telltails]

Looks good - now they need to perform.

Guess it’s experience on the park when young guns come on & he will keep the middle tight when other forwards get tired.

I will be very interested at how the minutes get dispersed across the forwards for rounds 1-6 and then rest of the year.

Maybe we start with something like:

Klemmer - 60 / Joffa 20 mid (2 x 30min)

Api - 60 / Simpkin 20 mid (Api off 35 min, on 55min to close)

Stef - 50 / Twal 30 (2 x 25 Stef spurts)

Blore - 60 / AJ 20

Papa - 80

Joffa - 50 / Pole 30

Above rounds out 8 interchanges off the bat.
Klem/Joffa/Papa are all long minute players so will be interesting how it plays out.

Just guessing but I’d say it won’t be 1-17 game day. unless sheens wants to play a straight bat first up

When comparing the teams on a dry track we actually have very comparable teams except at Prop & Hooker we have the advantage but at they have a faster backline across the park.

This should be a typical forwards win matches game. If our forwards dominate we should get space and field position to use the ball which in turn should limit the Titans ability to compress our defensive line in attacking zones and spread.

Assume Pole will

 

[TrueTiger]

I reckon this team will be the one that has the talent to go pretty well this year....the year of the awakened TIGER..

 

[Craegus]

It's round 1, what do you think of the team list Luke?

 

[Alltheway]

I'd have had Tupou over Nofa

WOW!! What a surprise?!?!

 

[Alltheway]

Agree 100%

Tupou and Staines get murdered in the dirty meters arena, tupou did last week. What the game this week and see who runs for more meters from our end.

 

[mikey]

Let's hope they live up to expectations.

 

[WT2K]

As expected. Bring on Sunday!

 

[Bigscreentv]

Did you see who they named at 7?

Haha - harsh...Brooks will be much better this year. In fact, I don't think he was that bad last year...probably wasn't worth his pay packet though.

 

[old_man_tiger]

I think we do them comfortably. They have some talented forwards but are lazy.

David Fifita is the Latrell Mitchell of forwards - can win you games on his own but can also lose you a lot of games aswell

For all the reasons you stated I'm thinking danger game, and therefore I think it's a great test to see how we go first up.

 

[Demps]

As expected.

Looks strong.
Hopefully we can get the win.
