2026 predicted line ups

[Tucker]

Anyone who has named a side containing 14 or more of this year’s squad, has named a team that will miss the finals again in 26.
Ideally our best 17 for next year features at least 3 question marks…4 would be better.

For sure but I don’t know where we get these good players from. Anyone decent off contract?

1. Jahream Bula
2. Sunia Turuva
3. Starford Toa
4. Taylan May
5. Jeral Skelton
6. Jarome Luai [C]
7. Adam Douihei

8. Terrell May
9. Apisai Koroisau [C]
10. NEW SIGNING/Fanoua Pole
11. Samuela Fainu
12. Kai Pearce-Paul
13. Sione Fainu

14. Latu Fainu
15. Alex Twal
16. Alex Seyfarth
17. Fonua Pole/NEW SIGNING

We need Pole to find the form he started the season with, before the injury.. He and Terrell were on...

Pole, Twal and the new signing can all rotate the front row with May.

Sione can rotate with Latu..

Seyfarth (as much as ppl give him a hard time) has the potential to be a great impact player.. On his day, he has a bit of punch and an offload.. if we limit his minutes I think we will get less brain farts from him..

Idk why I'm doing this, I was ready to stop following them after the titans loss 😅😅

Because you’re a masochist like the rest of us Tigers fans haha

Don’t mind your team, definitely agree that we need another prop or two (maybe Moale and V. Fifita from Dragons). I’d be getting AD to bulk up in the offseason for the 13 and go all in on Latu as our 7. Would rather Makasini in place of Toa but can see Benji likely going that route.

But mentioning Seyfarth and punch in the same sentence is like mentioning Phil Gould and integrity. He has some of the worst metres and post carry metres per game of any forward in the comp and that hasn't changed in his 5 years as a a Tiger.

Having said that, here’s mine:

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. Makasini
4. May
5. Skelton
6. Luai [C]
7. Latu

8. May
9. Koroisau [C]
10. ???
11. Fainu
12. KPP
13. Douihei (Tino would be nice)

14. ??? (Preferably a hooker to give API a rest)
15. Twal/Pole/ ??? (Moale or V Fifita)
16. Sione Fainu
17. Ethan Roberts

I really don’t know but then again, I’m not paid to come up with these answers.
What I do know is that what we have currently is not good enough. What Richo and Benji do about that, if anything, will decide our fortunes next year.

The ? meant do you know something?

 

[Tucker]

literally the point of the thread…. to make your predictions lol

What I am saying, is that by your own words, your top 17 includes 15 players currently on staff.
That’s worrying.

 

[Tucker]

Feel free to contribute by posting your predicted line up for 2026.

My predicted line up is probably that heap of shit line up who took the field against the Titans plus AD.
A bunch of try hards with F-all backbone.
The reason I’ve predicted that is because I have very little confidence that our management are going to do anything to help it.

wtf… go take a walk bro you sound so mad

 

[Tito Santana]

wtf… go take a walk bro you sound so mad

Agreed.

We will go well next year.

Defence has to be the main focus of the pre season and next year especially that right edge.

Just need one or two hard props or a prop and back rower / lock.

 

[Tucker]

wtf… go take a walk bro you sound so mad

Have you already forgotten?
Your top 17 for next year includes 15 of this years members plus two new hires.
What are you expecting they can achieve?

This management has only had one full recruitment window; it was definitely better than years gone by.. some hits and misses, others we wait in anticipation for 2026..

If we don't recruit as I expect we will, I'll probably end up in your camp by round 3.

Historically you always end up in my camp sooner or later….
Our players either lack the desire to put the necessary work in to succeed or they are just coached and prepared horribly.
I think for success to come, we need to bring 3 or 4 players into our top 20 AND they need to restructure the coaching.

Why do you support this team?

Man you just chip in with random shit constantly. Ok Tucker, you remove 15 of the players, then what? Who you going to get?

Stop with oh thats not what i get paid for.

Its a forum moron.
