TEAM LIST Round 14 vs. Raiders

[hank37w]

Mate Ray Warren was a massive fan of Groat and said he was the best Junior Prop he had even seen

Looking forward to Chris Warren doing a "Where are they now" pod cast with Matt Groat.

Opposite sides of the field.

Papali'i on Horsburgh, Bateman on Hudson Young.

Bateman's been know to roam around a bit, maybe he can put both of them on their arse at some stage.

 

[hank37w]

I'm pumped for this game. First game of the round, let's do this.

Going to be either a very good or a very bad weekend.

Api has been cleared to take on the Raiders. Boom youngster Tallyn Da Silva will warm-up with the Tigers side but will only make his debut if something drastic happens to the NSW hooker. (DT)

One thing that gives me confidence is that 3 cowboys (among others )outplayed the NSW blues being
Murray Tualagi - 2 trysavers and a strip
Val Holmes -a number of breaks
Rueben Cotter - man of the match !
Yet in their previous game of footy the Wests Tigers made fools of them
We were able to do what the blues couldn't so Raiders should be no problem just hope we are not missing our little organiser Api

The Cowboys had a vey bad night and we capitised.

Today will be a better indication of how much improvement there has been under the new coaches.

Biggest game for the Tigers in Ages

Who gives a %$#&^ how old half-blind Ray Warren rates junior footy players!

He is a crappy commentator - let alone a judge of talent!

I am pretty sure that Rabs opinion had nothing to do with Sheens decision at the time!

 

[Halbrowne61]

Now can we take a look at possible reasons Blore overlooked ?
Fitness, attitude and fueds ?
Who has the inside track on what’s happening?

 

[Odessa]

No it didn't but with every club chasing Groat and the hottest junior prop going around why not keep him same with Tedesco Stgeorge all but had him and Sheen's steps in and stopped it Paid him out of the salary cap as a junior

Or maybe just the simple answer - that he is not one of our best 17 positionally?

Blore is an edge back-rower and not a middle forward - so on merit he needs to be in our best three edge back-row options to make the NRL game squad...

Our two starters own their spots - and we can only have one back-row option on the bench given we carry a 2nd dummy half and need two middles!

But AJ has proven to be equally adept at edge-back row as he is in the backline - giving us more flexibility to cover centre/wing if required.

So Blore misses out - it's really that bloody simple!!

Aside from that - he has missed two years of footy and is far from a fully developed player at this stage!

Stop looking for conspiracies that aren't there ("attitude and FEUDS") like a cheap Murdoch sports/gossip columnist!

I think it's as simple as; he's coming off a long term injury and his development is better served playing 80 minutes in reserves each week than 31 minutes off the bench in firsts.

For the time being at least.

Thanks S, I thought there may have been more to it than the simple answer. He had a wrap on him but just seems to be regularly overlooked at present and when they favoured Seyforth over him I was surprised coz I rate him higher.

Predictions

Raiders by 2+ tries
Seyfarth no impact
Lee and Justin won’t do a beat our chest pod next week

Go back to Raiders forum. You ain't a real fan.

 

[a_dog]

It’ll be interesting to see how Hudson Young plays tonight.
He has been widely scapegoated for the origin loss - unfairly I believe.
I find him to be a dangerous player and if he sets out to prove the knockers wrong, he will cause headaches.

You too. Back to the dairy milk lover.

 

[a_dog]

I think he became overwhelmed by the hype surrounding the team and his role within it.
Im not sure who spent the week around the team but Im sure guys like Joey Johns do not help one iota. He has a viceral hatred of QLD and cannot contain it. Remember years ago when his message to the squad was to 'get out there and smash Greg Ingliss?

Hudson looked to be taking the field with a mindset of destroyer. That is not wise in your debut game. He went away from the game style that got him selected in the first place. He got carried away and no one settled him down, they just hooked him and made him ride the pine for the majority of the game.
Mentorship is poor within that Blues camp.

He is a good player though, tough as with X factor skills. We need to nullify his involvement tonight.

He's a myth just like the entire milk squad. Mythological beings. Stuff em.

 

[a_dog]

This Game against the raiders is a really big indicator of how this squad is tracking.

Yeah if we don't put 50 on them we won't make the 8. They are a nuffy squad. Kissed on the proverbial with the draw. They are nothing. Myths.
