[BlackWhiteGold]

I reckon we'll see Stef demoted to the bench, Sullivan promoted to the bench utility role (in place of Mason), Lobb dropped with To'a promoted to right centre and the big one ... Doueihi to the WING!

This might seem a novel concept to some ..

but most teams stick to their outside backs .. not withstanding injury or origin selection ( lol)..

Picking the chump that never got a game last week when they got flogged isn’t a recipe for success ..

yes I’m looking at you To’a..

Used to be a saying … Feeling as To’a as a Roman sandal

 

[BAGNF05]

Did you see #4???

Good comeback game then seems to have read his own press. Comments about him being worth more money after one win were in poor taste after he’s been out for so long.

We need senior players who put up or shut up.

Most teams don’t look like amateurs attacking the try line though.

the time to acquire more talent for this season has passed …

Recycling proven non performers is pointless …

Not sure why Lualili’i was dropped. He was having a crack.

yeah give him a go … he has potential at least ..

To’a doesn’t

That looks like our current front row, sweet and soft !

I dunno, Hal. Kid on the right has his game face on. Looks scarier than Stef!!

I like that Jolls. Good team. I would just switch AD and Starford.

Not sure why Lualili’i was dropped. He was having a crack.

He was bad beyond belief against Newtown in KO E cup 2 weeks ago. In the same game Lobb was passable . Neither are anywhere near NR L standard

6. Adam Douihei
7. Lachlan Galvin

At the start of the season I thought Sezer was the organiser the team needed, like a low rent Reynolds. He's been poor ever since, and last week he was bad. Good to see Galvin and Douihei as halves. They couldn't be worse than Sezer last week. Douihei's struggling with centre D too, so a move might help.

Come to think of it, when did the Tigers last have a backline that could defend? Have they ever had a solid defensive backline ever? Even the 2005 team wasn't great with D.

These days, all teams have to do is pass out to the wing, who has a saloon passage to the line. It seems like they don't trust each other to tackle their opposite number. Understandable ... they do miss a lot 😆. Most backlines are faster and more athletic than WT - all the top 8 sides, Saints, Knights, Broncs, Titans, Warriors ... and Bunnies. At least they don't have Campbell Soup in there.

I thought Olam would be the answer. He's an improvement but Bellamy let him go because his D is patchy.

Not bad, but I would replace Kit with Miller.
The bench looks a bit light on.
