WT v Knights round 1 ‘25 predictions

[Jolls]

Not confident with Romey not having a game yet either jr, if there's is a high team enthusiasm display at home we might beat them.

They will do plenty of opposed work in the lead up. He will be ready to go!

 

[Speed2burn]

Any team with Ponga in their team is a dangerous one … they have some quality outside backs and not a bad forward pack either.

I reckon if they had better halves they’d push for top 4

I think their halves might surprise. They are a definite top 6 team.

Need bird in centres or second row this week to defend knights backline
Mason
Skelton
Bird
Toa
Surava
Lachie
Romey
Twal
Seyfarth
Sam
Pole
TDS
May
Hunt
Latu
Sione
Doeuhi

When API is back I would rotate latu to lock after 20

Klemmer in Sione out

Until we see our actual starting 17 you can't really make a call

 

[ChilledChaos]

We need a strong right centre for Rd 1! I would play Jack Bird centre, defensively strong against Bradman! Our RHS defense and their LHS attack will decide the match!

Good point, but we need to duplicate him as having him at 14 would be very handy also.

Newcastle by 13. They made a mockery of the Roosters. In my heart. Wests Tigers.

Hopefully, we will see Bula at FB much more than "I catch bombs like Moltzen" Mason.🙏

Mason has been pretty safe under the ball hasn't he? Or has he avoided a few wobbly ones. I haven't seen him spill any.

Love bula at FB thought, want him to be a hammer x inglis. Lanky like turbo.

He let one bounce in the first trial and it nearly cost us. Otherwise he’s been good in most areas.

 

[Bigscreentv]

Why is Bula in severe doubt? Didn’t he just get a little setback? My understanding is he’ll be fine for round 1.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Alot of concern over trial form. Its a toss up, injuries and suspension hurt us a bit more than them otherwise I'd be confident.

 

[twentyforty]

When you look at the stats comparing Luai and Brooks, there's not much difference.

 

[shiretiger]

I didn't tip the Tigers a single time in 2024. 2025 will have to start the same way. Prove me wrong Tigers.

 

[Tucker]

Haha which stats?

Oh god we aren't doing this are we?

 

[twentyforty]

The forwards we’ve recruited aren’t as skilful and experienced as the ones we let go either.
I’m just saying, with all the excitement, enthusiasm and high fives let’s not be putting any serious $ on them making the playoffs. 😁 I’m looking out for your best interests.

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Surprised it’s not a sellout yet

Other than that he has been pretty safe so far.

That one that was let go was a little way in front of him, maybe there was a mix up with a call or something, fortunately it was a good bounce for us.

Willing to give him the benefit of the doubt for now but there is no doubt that he looks a lot safer and more confident than he was last season.

It's obviously an area he has worked on in the off season.

Me too, it’s something that can be improved.
