TEAM LIST Round 8 vs Raiders

[Tweed_Tiger]

Confident in this game. Ricky to give a chair a flogging.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

For some reason I thought he was injured.

He's done nothing to get hooked, but we know Benji likes Toa, they are both from the same town in NZ.

 

[Tim Sheens]

It would be incredibly stupid to change our halves during a game.

It didn't work against the broncos and it won't work against the raiders.

Id go as far as to say that in the broncos game, moving douhei to centre cost us the game just as much as makasini's errors.

Yeah, should have moved him to fullback earlier when Bula was obviously a passenger.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Toa deserves a shot. Everyone else has had a dig to show what they have now its up to Toa.

 

[GCfan]

I'm content with giving Toa a crack, we have seen that he can be very good, so we might see some of it.

Lets hope they can click because this game is bordering on 'must win'

It’s a night game at Leichhardt. Someone tell Toa that his opposing centre is actually Val Holmes wearing a mask and he’ll go into full beast mode. Simples!

 

[Tom Shines]

To’a playing , I thought this forum medically retired him months ago hahahah

Hopefully we are all laughing after the game

Felt a lot better before hearing about Klein

 

[weststigers]

really like the dropping of latu fainu
AD can play that ball playing 13 role allowing Madden to come on and play some 7

Yes...but Hope...now we have Hope....not in a good way

 

[GCfan]

Maka pays the full price for poor halves combination that has shown will never work.

I get they are difficult decisions to make, but Luai/AD halves combo ain't it. Makes it a lot more difficult the fact that both AD and Madden were on fire.

Don't feel confident with all the chopping and changing, I like Luke L but he has the same if not more mistakes than Maka at this stage of their careers. Both raw kids and both you have to accept with mistakes - so why Luke over Maka when Luke won't even be here.

I don’t think Maka has paid the price. I think he’s having his transition into grade managed. Good on Benji for doing it. I’d bet money the one on one conversation between Benji and Maka was delivered with the right messaging so Maka’s confidence isn’t shot.
Won’t be surprised if he’s back in first grade in a few weeks.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

A couple of predictions:

Horsburough will cop 10 in the bin at some stage, especially if they are behind, (probably a coat hanger on Toa to test him out).

WT will score 4 tries on the wings.

The scoreline WON'T be as close as the two losses so far, WT will either win or lose by 8+

He's done nothing to get hooked, but we know Benji likes Toa, they are both from the same town in NZ.

So is Herbert.

 

[innsaneink]

cause luke puts in in attack hes runs are much more powerful
he has errors they both do but we wanna win right ???

Yes gets our sets off on the right foot...providing he catches the ball...needs plenty of support when the bombs go up...this part of the game now with their crap rules has become a blight

Happy with the team....hope AD & Luai can get it together but short turnaround not expecting much different

 

[Tigerdazz2]

So is Herbert.

That's who I meant, Herbert. I don't know why he got hooked, maybe he has a niggling injury & is on the bench as an emergency replacement outside back??

He smashed 200m+ twice already hasn't he?

I think Toa is as well though. I think all three are from Whakatane.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

One thing our kickers should do is if they are putting up the high balls is to kick it to the corners as Keo Weekes, Seb Kris & Co are very dangerous broken play players.

If it's wet, kick low to the corners, if it's windy kick low, if chasing metres kick long to the corners, don't give them a sniff'.

 

[Tom Shines]

Has bad hands ..add him to the list we have seen here over the years ..AJ Kepoa, Tupou notable names …

If Luke could get that out of his game he might turn into a handy player with Perth

The "Whakatane Mafia" 😆

 

[Demps]

Got to attack Stuart and Timoko

Stuart is so ordinary

We made him look great on debut from memory though.

Spot on.
