TEAM LIST Round 21 vs. Warriors

[BAGNF05]

Isn’t it wild that you think it can’t get any worse for the tigers yet it does each week

You must of forgotten when the roosters dicked us by 70. Storm same.
Last week we lead after 60 mins with a young side.
It’s a slow burn but the trend is up.

 

[Harvey]

Disgraceful treatment of Sullivan and Naden.
I understand he wants to offload them, but not listing them in our top 22 when their recent form clearly shows they clearly deserve it is very poor form from Benji.
When he wants to play favourites it is no wonder we are sitting in 17th place.

Didn't KOE get beaten by 40?

It’s embarrassing when you look at our reserve grade side, we’ve been playing them all in firsts and they got destroyed in Reggie’s 😂

 

[magpies forever]

I'd like to hope Naden & Sullivan have had the red pen put through em...

Reserve grade or find a new club.

Yes, I suspect that is the intended message

It is harsh. Yet, it is 100% clear. Sometimes mixed signals are the cruelest thing you can give an employee

 

[Squater]

Will be interesting to see how Latu handles the 7. Go well young man

I like this team but we need to give them a go. We need to build combinations. I know papali,I is going but hopefully they will have a crack

Bateman is off to Super League for the remainder of the season. He'll be back in the off season.

Is this for real ?

 

[Buttface]

I like that he stuck with him. His first 50 minutes were very good. He will learn from those mistakes

And no matter how good Naden is in reggies, it’s no more NRL for him.

The white flag has been raised.

Yep. Reported by Michael Caryannis. Bateman told teammates at training today.

Do we get a discount of his contract and the cap, or are we getting shit loads of cash from the super league team he’s playing for, with a swap for a decent srf coming our way?

Why? To both sentences....

Have they really tried with Sullivan? He is less than a year into a 4 year deal. He is also the only half weve had this year who understands the mechanics of how to set up to score points.
Yes he has faults. Why dont they work with him on them? Its called coaching.

Giving him an extended run at halfback in NSW Cup could be exactly this.

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Too small for prop... what position you thinking for 2025??

 

[Tucker]

It may well be. If it is I retract. I have a feeling though that KOE Cup is a dumping ground or transit lounge between grades. I say that wondering if Wests Tigers have more say than Wests Magpies in that grade.

 

[Stevec]

I have on occasions seen Sullivan put on plays ,side step create tries etc
I have never seen Latu do this . While I think both Sam and Sione earn their spots im convinced all the positivity about Latu is just Forum hype . Trying to understand where all this is coming from I watched carefully as he had substantial minutes and it was very ordinary .He was just receiving and passing to who was next without any run / draw and pass . His 7 tackles and 5 missed tackles wasnt impressive
On the other hand TDS was very impressive and now will probably spend 60 mins on the bench
Don't think Benji trying to win each week but rather spend rest of season experimenting with as many kids as possible
Fans Deserve Wins !!!

 

[Tom Shines]

Geez this is a horrific side this week

It is every week … shuffling the deckchairs on the Titanic and all that …

I didn’t expect him to drop Bateman, Dway-he and Klemmer .. but I’m not disappointed he has … maybe this could light a fire for them …they need a shake up as their play has been poor the past couple of weeks ..

I would have also dropped Luke L and Faataape as well..i think they need a mental health break…

whenever Naden plays first grade he loses the plot ..must be a mental thing …

you might have seen the last of him in the NRL
