By which time they’ll have forgotten how to pass again

It’s like a nightmare merry go round.
So I membered up this week how about you? 😜

 

[Buttface]

Honestly I’m expecting a different side in 2024. Having actual halves on the team is gunna help…

I hope they can close out a game when our forwards have put it on a platter for them.

Sullivan is ready to call the shots at the Tigers. At just 22 years of age, and with only 27 NRL appearances, Tigers coach Benji Marshall wants to hand the former Dragons playmaker the keys to the team from his first day of preseason training on Monday. "Benji just pretty much told me straight up, he just wants me to come and own the team and make my mark,” Sullivan said. “I feel like that’s when I’ll play my best footy, when I have ownership and a bigger responsibility.”

Sounds like Sullivan is going to be number 7, which probably makes Fainu number 6 and Sezer back up for both.

I can’t see Fainu starting. No way will they be the starting halves. Sezer will partner Sullivan to start.

#13 for mine.

Plays a role we've lacked for too long.
Perfect link man, playing like Yeo - but more aggressive.

Pushing Twal and Pole to the bench, into the prop rotation, where they also offer their most impact.

He doesn't pack enough punch in attack or defence to play lock. Doesn't have the ball skills either.

He's a backup player, not top 17 level

Easy Tiger, don’t go dissing Benji.
Still love ya Benji.

I love the guy too, but can’t deny how problematic he has been post-2011

 

[balmain boy]

Buddy hell I hope he hits the ground running and kills it.

Sadly I envisage he won't be in our top 13 come the final round next year

herbal tea;s are bad ok aaaaaaa

I agree Pole isn’t a 13 he’s a bench Prop I just don’t know if Seyfarth can take on the 13 full time. It is our weakest position in the forward pack.

I think the 13 will be vital for us. I can see Sezer playing one side of the ruck and controlling his side. I am not sure either Fain or Sullivan are either experienced enough or are those style of players. From what I have seen of them they are runners and not organisers. Seyfarth (or Matamua) may need to play a link role and straighten the attack allowing Sullivan/Fainu more space.

John Bateman got man of the match in tonight's test match

Had a good game in what was a very ordinary match. Referring very one sided in the 1st half as well.

Fainu defensively was very good & played hooker. He cut some players in some very good 1-1 tackles. Didn’t look out of place.

Yep, that tracks with the type of decisions made out of concord recently.
The proven first grader has been bought as backup…morons.

That's because the Poms know how to use him. They know he'll get the offload away so there's always someone with him waiting for that to happen. Our blokes just set up for the next play.

 

[Todd Packer]

On paper the Tongans should've smashed England but they just play bonehead rugby league. The Poms are just too clever for them.

I expect Sullivan to be the 7. It is only on this forum that I've seen people calling him a 6. Everything else I've ever read and heard and from the little I've seen of him he is a 7.
I doubt Fainu starts the season at 6, though I'd back him to be the 6 by the end of the season.

I’ve said 1000 times, Brooks has no leadership qualities at all. Sullivan walhh in a in a room and he has arrogance and presence - love it!

He’s good.
