The 3 and the 5 need to be replaced by anyone who currently has 2 arms and 2 legs.

I think the 3 needs to learn to draw and pass like most of them - I feel a bit sorry for Ogden as he is most unlikely to see any ball except from coming out of the 22 and so I will give him the benefit of the doubt. This has been happening all season - if you are a winger, good finisher and want to go places, you're pretty much going to be starved. It happens I suppose in all forms at some point (Addo-Carr comes to mind). I'm also not convinced Daine can pass from left to right. When he runs it (& generally he creates something), it seems to be up the LHS. At least he is causing some spark and expansive play.

Although many are trying to impress to go to the next level, they need to play more like a team & I hope Chops can fix this - it seems it's a major area that needs addressing but then I am not a coach these days. James and Blore are the pick of the forwards for mine. They definitely have a real chance at an NRL career in my opinion.

Maybe he should go back to centre and punt the other bloke back to reserve for reserves.

He's a centre not a winger. Our stocks in the backs are so thin that blokes like Ogden and Kioa are getting a run just because we have nobody else. We have 8 NRL standard backs in the whole club.
The play last week where Kioa shoulder charged a Saints player in the most blatant manner possible and Saints players laughed at him summed up Kioa's whole game.

Worth preserving with?

I'd certainly give Tuki a train and trial contract for next year. Not sure he's a top 30 player yet, but if he can get his fitness and agility right he could be a very good prop. He's also been told not to offload, which is one of his primary strengths. He'd be the best offloader in NSW Cup, if he could ever do it
The question is would any other club offer him a top 30 spot? If not maybe we can keep him for another year, by when we can see how he's developing. James is a lot older too.

Blore to leave by seasons end and weirdly enough his brother to play cup this weekend or next for magpies and I don't blame Shawn if he does leave with signings of Bateman n ice and chasing frizzel for next year witch I don't agree with blores youth a much better upside

My opinion mate but kid's to good for cup need's to be playing grade but for whatever reason seems to be out of favour

I disagree. I think he's highly regarded by Sheens and just being given a chance to get consistent long minutes after his string of injury-interrupted seasons. I believe Sheens/Benji see him as a future middle which was alluded to in the pre-season.
 
Question how many times this year have we seen our edge backrowers get put in a hole that's because our half's don't dig into the line take a look back when blore was playing left edge how many holes he hits with Brooks inside him and gets let go as a decoy sure he could play middle easily if he gets into a well structured side I think he will be a star and just be another one the tiger's let slip through there fingers

West Tigers Announce Exciting New Pathways To English Super League Comp​

The West Tigers have made an exciting announcement this week, launching a new pathways program designed to progress their ageing roster to the Super League faster than ever before.
Often considered the pride of Balmain, and sometimes Campbelltown, the West Tigers have launched “Campbelltown to Castleford”, a new joint venture with the UK’s Castleford Tigers.
After numerous seasons concreted to the bottom of the ladder and churning through a record six head coaches in the past decade, the Club’s glimmeringly successful management board have said it’s an exciting new chapter for the club.

Speaking to a small NRL media pack, who weren’t busy covering Origin stores, club CEO Justin Pascoe said the deal to ship players directly to England via a stop-over in Dubai made sense for the future of the club’s success.
“We’ve been looking at our current roster and we realised no one ever seems to last more than two years here before signing to Leeds Rhinos or heading to France to play Park Rugby”

“We thought why not cut out the media speculation and set up a pathway directly to Heathrow, so players can link up with Castleford as soon as they start missing more than 30 tackles a game.”
Boasting three wins and thirteen losses, the current Tigers team are reportedly enthusiastic about the new deal, which will see players allowed to escape the basketcase club for the joys of European travels and a far gentler form of Rugby League.
A competition that boasts the ex-NRL talent of Curtis Sironen, Brodie Croft and fan-favourite ‘Big Papi’ Dylan Napa, the Super League has become a haven for NRL stars happy to play out their twilight years in England, rather than sign with the Gold Coast Titans, another struggling NRL franchise on borrowed time.
Speaking on the new deal, CEO Justin Pascoe told the media that the whole scenario just made sense.
“They’re an average Tigers outfit, we’re an average Tigers team, we can all just be mediocre Tigers together!”
More to come.
