TEAM LIST Round 14 vs. Raiders

[hank37w]

Anyone know if there are any other games on at Campbelltown on Friday night other than the NRL at 8:00pm.

I know Magpies KOE are playing at Lidcombe on Saturday afternoon but can't find out if anything else is on at Campbelltown on Friday night or even what time the gates open.

On Ask the Boss, Lee said he wants to see 17,000 there but being realistic he'll be lucky to get anywhere near half that crowd.

If all you are getting is one game and the fact that you could stay in the warmth and comfort of your home and watch it on channel 9/Kayo/Foxtel on the TV, there isn't a great deal of incentive for people to travel to the ground especially if you have just worked all week.

Anyone going? I'll be there to cheer the boys on but I'm a fairly easy traveling distance from the ground.

Coach: Tim Sheens

He’s jumped Rua already mate. A bit quicker than you, and a couple of others said he would.
You gotta love the way Sheens backs a young bloke and provides a clear path. Or that’s how it looks anyway.
And I love watching young blokes make their way through to nrl level.

Seyfarth > Joffa
Get on board 😀🔥

Decent team.
Hope we towel em up.

I haven’t watched much ressies this year but from what you’ve said he has found a better level of footy consistently and although I’m still stinging from Douy, I’m getting on board!!!

 

[Buttface]

Tigers 66
Faders 18

Twal to get a double

🙏

$126-1

 

[Frosty]

I sense an easy win here. Faders fans are very nervous.

They have a great forward pack but their edge defence is atrocious and they’re playing a centre as their fullback.

They’re conceding 29ppg since rnd 7, 24ppg all year. Ranked 16th in defence, would be last if not for the 66 points we put on NTHQLD last game.

We’re attacking well, we’re defending well. I feel a 30-16 type score line. But who knows.

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

Rather Seyfarth start and Pole to bench due to balance. Think Seyfarth is decent defensively which is okay with klemmer and Stef on at the same time but with those two off the field his running game isn’t up to it.

 

[carltonleach]

Surely only for the experience.

He hasn’t played NSW Cup yet and has only ever played two games of Jersey Flegg (U/21’s).

Yeh I thought that would be the case, is this the first time he’s been named in the squad? I can’t recall seeing him in there before

First time in the 22-man squad.

Decent team.

Backed him in to score a try $8.50-1, that’s some BS odds right there, but I bought my ticket of support for the Sayfart bandwagon.
Go forth and score young Tiger Sayfart!!!

A fair assessment.
Hopefully we show up as they definitely have the wood over us as a club psychologically.

 

[Telltails]

Im guessing Seyfarth has a great attitude, probably trains hard and says and does all the right things that impresses a coach. People also use to go off when Maguire picked him ahead of others but clearly a coach knows more about players than fans do.

YES!!! Finally a forward pack to match theirs and a on fire backline (besides Talau) to carve up!
How good is footy this week... SoO tonight and Tigers Friday night!!!

Nothing else... NRL only

 

[hank37w]

Thanks Ink.

Yeah, suspected it would just be the NRL game.

Can't believe how difficult it can be sometimes to find game day information when you have a membership and don't need to go to places like Ticketek to buy the tickets.

At the end of the day it is about performances. Just because a player can be a coaches pet, doesn't mean they are necessarily any good. Most fans have seen enough in 36 NRL appearances from Seyfarth to suggest that he will never be NRL standard. Moses Mbye lasted years in the NRL also being a complete fraud for example.

 

[Nafe82]

There's a chance for him yet, finally playing in a much better pack, I hope he really comes on... Every team needs a big red

 

[Jolls]

If Api is fit he has to start. The idea of having Simpkin start is mad. Api has the ability to make the close in defence second guess and to really [This word has been automatically removed] with the headspace of a stopgap fullback trying to set the defensive line. Once we have the ascendency in the middle then it is time to bring Simpkin on. Simpkin may play bigger minutes than usual but starting him would be a huge mistake.

Api is a seasoned veteran; he will know how to conserve a bit of energy and still bring our attack on.

Expect changes.

 

[AL The Tiger]

We need a ball playing 13 in the starting lineup and Pole off the bench for impact. Pole is great and will be even better in the future but he's not a ball player and at lock usually stifles the attack by doing his usual stepping and not running hard. He's much better suited off the bench and it's no coincidence we looked our most fluid in attack with Joffa ball playing at 13 and Pole giving impact off the bench when Stef and Klemmer are off.

We already have a better version of the big red... Twal. Can't be carrying two of the same players off the bench
