Round 9 vs Sharks

[Milky]

Games nearly a sell out, seems to be only hill GA tickets left.

How many tigers fanatics have already got their tickets?

 

[Suzie-Q]

Not yet. I'm supposed to be going with my Sharky brother ... better get it sorted 👌

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

it only holds 12000 doesnt ir

I know it’s a poll, but worried this thread started before we play the raiders

How does benji play the #9 role if api is ruled out?

Hope and Latu rotate?

I reckon we give Bula a week off and play Turuva at the back. If Tavana isnt available bring in Skelton... give makasini a run in cup.

 

[Speed2burn]

Shark Park is a hole, last time i went there we got flogged by 40, vowed to never go again.

Small ground with shitty fans

Yea Hope and Latu.

Like, it's not a season defining game for us. For once we're not desperate for points at this stage of the season to prove we're not a joke. I feel like Twal and Terrell have really sussed out what to do playing 13 alongside API this season and with Hope there'll be a lot less spark around the ruck in possession.

Without Api, It's a game to play with a bit more structure. Bit more shape whoever is turning up at 7. If our pack keeps firing, I'd wanna see more early ball to Taylan, and when its on, still keep things ad-hoc with KPP and Samuela in their own style.

I did notice that jarome the last two weeks has tried to do give taylan early ball.

Isn't it great that jarome hasnt clicked into gear yet, in the sense, that when/if he does, then it can take us to another level

That's how I see it too.

Worked a charm didn't it?

I remember we totally owned Shark Park back in 05..... only time ive been there
Crouching Tiger prancing round with his.flag draped on his back
Kingy half tanked.
It was weird the joint had an orange glow as the sun set

 

[Milky]

That's how I see it too.

If Bula is fit he should play, it's so important for us to get every win we can because you just don't know when injuries/suspensions/form hit

If he is unavailable, I would have Turuva at back too but Maka back into the side

1. Turuva
2. Maka
3. To'a
4. May
5. Laulili

Otherwise, unchanged

As for DH, can Madden fill the void with Latu?

KPP out as well I think.. failed HIA

KPP out as well I think.. failed HIA

Given it was a cat 2 the club can challenge it if certain criteria is met. Whether it’s successful idk but given we have the last game of the round next week I say there’s a chance (if he’s not showing symptoms) they’ll challenge the ruling.

 

[mtd#2]

So KPP, Api and potentially Bula out.

Seyfarth comes in for KPP
Hope/Latu for Api
Skelton to wing, Turuva to fullback.

If there is consistency in the media, it should be the depleted Tigers against the Sharks. Maybe even nickname us the Tiger Cubs!

KPP concussion
Api suspended
Bula shoulder
Taylan (nursing a shoulder, wrist & knee)
Tavana (hamstring)
To'a (nursing a tricep & foot)
Kit Laulilii (concussion)
Craig (hamstring)
Makasini (nursing foot soreness)

It's going to take a Herculean effort, stuff that legends are made of!

I jest lol

Beautiful magnificent day 😁 It brings back memories every time they show Benji skipping across field from front on and I see myself and my mate sitting there not realising what we are about to witness!
