TEAM LIST Round 6 vs. Eels

[upthetigers]

Wakeham gets punted after 1 game but we've been patient with Brooks for more then a decade. Makes sense.

 

[upthetigers]

Im putting $50 on us to win Parra Suck.

We suck even harder.

 

[gallagher]

The best 2 games we played last year were the consecutive weeks V Cowboys and Broncos. Hastings was in the 13 for both those games.

One could argue the best 2 consecutive weeks was when we beat parra then souths. Hastings was halfback both games

 

[barnsta]

I want brooks to dig into the line before he passes and cop the tackle if the pass is not on. When i watched some games last weekend the halves creating opportunities dug into the line before they passed creating overlaps and space for the players outside

 

[Tiger_heart]

I suppose we can always go in with "What have we got to lose" attitude...

 

[NT_Tiger]

Di

didn't Sheens say he was the best fullback at the club?

.....equates to no clue.

Nah, We already know what we have to lose, and we're good at it. Lets try winning.

 

[The Ladies Man]

My tea leaves this morning foretold a big tigers win.
Cup could have been upside down tho🤔

 

[Siberian Kitten]

The problem is that so much stuff is reported that isn't true. It's days of our lives stuff. It could be true though.

😆 It's a soap opera alright. I enjoyed the 360 guys getting stuck into Pascoe tonight, tho. Tigers decision-making over the last decade has been the worst in the NRL, which is why all we win now are cooking utensils.

He's incapable of it, he has already decided whether to run or pass before he gets the ball

Ho, hum, as others have stated, another predictable response from Sheens. Brooks and Doueihi back together when they've been abysmal there previously. What is it about the Tigers coaching staff that they can't make the obvious decisions? Brooks has been lamentable as a first grade scrum half for a long time so the obvious decision (million dollar man or not) is to drop him. Reasons? 1. He doesn't deserve to be in first grade 2.He might build some confidence in KOE Cup and 3. It sends a message to the playing group that continued poor performance will not be tolerated. Regarding AJ to wing. Yes, he has rushed out of the line a bit recently but, overall, he has been good. He is a far better centre than winger and Toa is not an improvement. Obviously they should be swapped. Stef is down on form and is better suited as an impact player off the bench. Twal is a worker and should start. Again, obviously, they should be swapped. Is it really that hard?

 

[Telltails]

He gifted us a wooden spoon and guys have a boner for him, don’t get it.

Don't think anyone has Hastings up there with any of the great halves but at this point any that could possibly lead us to a win would be considered a better option to the two we have got. Considering the team he is in sits on 5 points - and were not rated by most on here - and our team sits on 0 there is some reason to believe we would have been better off with him than with out him.

Sheens does not like change,he is like the worst British generals in WW1 he will use the same plan continuosly believing it will eventually work as the Germans won't believe that the British would still use it (apologies to Blackadder)

All this talk about Doueihi, Brooks Wakeham, Laurie playing in our halves why has nobody mentioned Will Smith? He can play there and can add some toughness to it.....

He’s not in the top 30

The opposition defenders can see this too.

I watched both games in the off season. Yep the Parra game was very good, the highest quality game we were in all year. The souths game was actually terrible quality. We were only ok, souths were horrible.

 

[OzLuke]

Makes sense...but with KM gone he would've been the one I put up as he can play a few spots and is good cover for halves

Not a fan of AJ. Drops way too much ball whatever position he plays . Rushes out of line when in the centres . State cup player with every other club in my opinion.

Any inside feedback on whether Naden playing or not on Monday ?
I think if he’s out Laurie comes in to fb !
