TEAM LIST Round 5 vs. Broncos

[BlackWhiteGold]

What kind of logic is having toa on the bench, who else in the comp does that sort of selection, simpkin fair enough but Toa on the bench??? I guarantee you he comes on after 75 mins when the games lost, just have a look at Lauries sublime 5 mins last game

Would be disappointing if he does come on after 75 mins but T'oa does add strike & the ability to break tackles (closest we have to a Kotoni Staggs type).

All of our middles can play big minutes too.

Another scenario is that Bateman actually plays lock (I doubt it if he has bruised ribs with that extra workload), AJ moves to backrow, Toa into centres, Pole back to bench.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

I think To’a is there for his versatility he can play anywhere 1-5

Play, but below nrl level!

 

[The Ladies Man]

Bring back clutch.
We'd win this game with him

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

don't think AD or Brooks will be dropped this year unless injured

Sheens & Co are chopping and changing the lineup every fkn week to find a solution that eventually works, how tf are they not moving Brooks around .. ? It's just bizarre.

Its staring em in the face, theyre either blind stubborn stupid or all three

 

[innsaneink]

If the Tigers win this week, I'm gonna buy a Rav 4

It wont be a new one

 

[magpiesteve]

Brooks IS the problem arghhhhhhh - nothing is going to change they are clueless . Starford should be in the centres.

 

[The Ladies Man]

It wont be a new one

I'll order it. Might get delivered around the same time as our next win

 

[The Chad]

Pole is the rotational prop with Twal, Klemmer and Stef.

Matamua covers lock and second row, giving flexibility to Bateman.

Simpkin has been good whenever on the field.

To'a covers for the backs, but also allows Kepoua to shift into the backrow as well.

It's easy to throw your toys out but it's not like the bench doesn't offer flexibility. Klemmer already plays big minutes, as does Twal. I think Matamua offers some additional skill on the field while Pole could be argued to be our most effective middle forward so far.

Seyfarth/Joffa etc offers less than all the bench players and locks AJ into playing centres only.

 

[Tigerdave]

Just stupid choices.....bench and half back

 

[Hbom]

Matamua good, Brooks bad.

 

[bptiger 0]

That bench will get killed , broncos will kill us once they come on

 

[tigerap]

Brooks at 7. I know he won't be the halfback but he shouldn't be in the team. Tim Sheens can go to hell. How many more games need to be pissed away carrying the useless tool. To hell with this garbage.

Who replaces him?

Over thinking it

Well that’s a very predictable team list, can’t see a change of result unless a few things really click.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Praying for Brooks to do his ACL. AD needs to do better though.

that us a disgraceful comment to make far out

 

[magpiesteve]

Who replaces him?

Wakeham Wakeham Wakeham. Douehi 5/8 . its insane doing the same thing one more time. Brooks will love having the heat off him in the Cup side . Then play him at Centre cause he is not a half back.

Fair dinkum guys, think about it before you cane the selections!!!

Nah mate. It's easier to behave like the world is ending. Posts will get more likes too.
