TEAM LIST Round 20 vs. Rabbitohs

[weststigers]

True @Demps but an opportunity to draw a line in the sand is lost.

Benji will accept mediocre performances to try to keep the anticipated loss within 3 or 4 converted tries.

Is this a serious comment?

I think you should look at the replacement players he has to choose from before making this comment. It's easy to be passionate...not as easy to be objective and logical

Just hope, we can compete for 80 minutes, dont expect a win. Souths are just too big.

 

[Kaito]

That’s the problem Kaito, if you are not selecting teams based on form, what is it based on ?

Don't give them the opportunity to sulk & go into
their shells just yet by dropping them. Set the
challenge. This is a winable game — If they fail miserably
again/don't fire or show effort you can drop a few.
I think it's premature with all the injuries + ins & outs.
It's a pragmatic approach imo, the alternative is a
bunch of 18 and 19 year olds, 5 of them are playing
over the weekend. We're the only club that has fast
tracked so many juniors to 1st grade. It will pay off

It astonishes me, how only one player was sacked after that disgraceful performance last week, Alex Lobb was the only player no accountability at all. What about Faataape, Sezer & Klemmer unbelievable.

Lobb wasn't dropped ....they said ankle injury .....lol

Received my “members first” team list about 10 minutes ago 😂

I haven't received one since the team list vs Melbourne - received 2nd of July.

Perhaps, but for me,the season is gone and I’m willing to make some sacrifices.

Last week was entirely unacceptable and players need to understand that their are consequences.

Accountability.

Plus I’m a paid up member.

 

[Oldman]

Not just talking about one game. This kid is here for 3 more years. If his papers are already marked then that is unjust.
How about COACHING HIM?????

Just because he is playing reserve grade doesn’t mean he’s not being coached.
If he is improving that is what the COACH would be happy to see.

I was responding to the suggestion his papers are marked not to play NRL again. If that is true, it is not good management.

 

[Newtown]

Bud couldn't even get a look in on the extended bench
after serving up 3 try assists last week that's hectic



I think this is him throwing the gauntlet down and
tasking them with a challenge before he cuts guys

How about Benji really challenging himself?

I would rather teach the vacationers in the side accountability now then next year when we are a chance of coming second last or better.

Especially for those with continuing contracts.

Just some hard decisions need to be made. This year is over.

I will let you know later, still at work!

 

[TigerBOI]

I saw Justin olam in a few photos training and he's not even in reserves? What's happening with him

 

[Needaname]

Are we seeing the strategy in the team announcement where the Tigers proudly announce that “six players in the squad aged 19 years or younger”?

From the selections and that statement, has Benji put a fork in season ‘24 and is looking to what ‘25 might look like?

It will be interesting to see over the next few weeks if players like Bud, Naden, To’a, and Feledy get any game time in firsts and who will be moved on in the off season.

No one really.
But it makes for a nice excuse when the club can keep rolling out the ‘we came last but we have the youngest roster in the comp’ ‘good signs ahead’ narrative.

Talk is cheap but not their contracts.Hopefully these 2 start to perform to what they are being paid along with Stef and things will improve massively for us as a club

 

[tig_prmz]

Same with Naden.

Don't think he's been back since he got hooked mid game a few weeks ago.

It's too late. You already gave away 40+ points a few times this season.
