TEAM LIST Round 5 vs. Broncos

[Krammy]

All the talk about Blore and Talau being like new signings, why does this club always think it can change people? If it walks and quacks like a duck it’s a duck.

Yeh, can;'t say I'm seeing the great potential in either of them. geez I hope they prove me wrong.

 

[sparci]

Oh by the way if Pascoe has nothing to do with "on field " ?
Thought I spotted him sitting next to Sheens on sideline ?

im like 100% sure thats because of the whole pascoe resigning rumours that floated last week, I laughed when I saw him tbh

 

[KingRobbie]

Naden out with an infection.

To’a starts, Blore to the bench.

Look at the match-ups in the backs:-

Walsh vs AD
Arthars vs Staines
Staggs vs Kepaoa
Farnworth vs To'a
Cobbo vs Tupou
Mam vs Brooks
Reynolds vs Wakeham

I swapped Brooks and Wakeham around to try and provide a more accurate picture but we look miles behind them. It's a decent first grade backline up against a decent reserve grade backline.

Man on man they kill us.

I think our pack is better but mainly because it's Api vs Billy Walters at hooker.

I remember the Ted Lasso line "you might be one in a million, but out there, you're just one of thirteen!"

 

[clokan]

If that’s not the worst bench in Wests Tigers history I haven’t seen one

been around long?

Yeah if only we could have one of their players. Going to get smashed tomorrow.

I just rewatched Storm game and a few things stood out
Bateman was superb his cover defence was right across the field apart from creating our 1st try
Staines had a very poor game on right wing he couldn't compete on bombs not just the one that led to their 3rd try but others also and wild pass almost cost another try
Kepoa by rushing up and ineffective tackles contributed to Storms first two trys
Brooks well enough said
For me I would use Kepoa as bench utility forward and put either Douehi or Brooks in centers
Our experienced FB Laurie is still paying price for letting bomb bounce against Newcastle
So why those mentioned above not paying any price for their misses
When we put a bomb up almost no kick chase no excuse for that

Laurie deserves his relegation. He is average

You just keep buying scarves .
I’m sure being Pascoe’s number 1 fan boy he’d appreciate the cash flow .

I told ya mate the scarves come for free.

Did he catch cantplayitis?

 

[barnsta]

Just hoping for a win today or a close match. None of us can change the selections being made. Lets hope something finally clicks and sticks

I'm feeling this too

 

[Speed2burn]

Wish I could share the same confidence ..


I think we’ll be competitive for about 20 mins then they’ll get a roll on and be hard to stop. They have so much X factor in the back 1-5

Yeah hard to get wound up for this game. Hard to describe but I’m sort of keen or perhaps keenly interested to see if they can lift for the occasion.

I reckon they need to go in with the mindset that all the pressure is on the broncos, they don’t want to lose to us after having such a good start to the season. So get stuck in early and have a crack to embarrass them “in their house”!

The more games we have the better we get, if the coaches stop moving players into different positions. Broncos are a good side in form, so it’s a good test to gauge the short term success of our coaching team.

Need to rattle their halves. I’ve seen us disrupt reyno plenty of times when he played for souffs

I think we have the forwards to atleast contain theirs
