TEAM LIST Rd 24 Team v Dragons

Is Latu not back yet feels like forever

2 weeks became 3 because he challenged it and failed. 3 weeks then became 4 with the bye.

Find it hard to believe Solo is going anywhere given he has been selected. You'd think we wouldn't bother otherwise?

Funnily enough I was listening to Josh Mansour's podcast this week with Marcelo Montoya - he mentioned in passing coming up against Solo in a reserves game, and the contact he had with him that made him feel like his days were numbered.

He said Solo would/should be playing first grade soon.

family member of Solo said him going to parra next year was all bull crap.. it’s also never been confirmed

Hope so, otherwise him debuting now would be another WT clanger

I like this team.
I would have liked to see andrews and Roberts, but aside from that, its the best we can put out there.

Exciting centre Solomone Saukuru will make his NRL debut following a fine season with the Western Suburbs Magpies where he is the leading tryscorer in the NSW Cup with 20 tries.


Tony Sukkar will start in the second-row with Sione Fainu off the interchange bench.

The Tigers will be looking to end a seven-game losing streak and get revenge on the Dragons from round 18 in their final home game of the season.

Wests Tigers will wear their 2026 Indigenous jersey for this game. Order your jersey here

Do you have an orange jersey or jacket?
Gets you in for half price

Is this wind up?

Worst bench ever

I posit the bench against Parra as the worst ever, but this one is a close second lol.

 

[terriaa]

I might go to lidcombe to have a look at Javon first hand and also Schuster.

Also appears Solo may not be lost to us, not yet anyway. Fingers crossed the big fella rises to the challenge of first grade a kills his debut. So much raw talent in him. Not sure if his future is centre, wing or backrow, but could be a handy bench option next year with his versatility and athleticism

It's also on Bar Sports. I subscribe & it's pretty reasonably priced, i pay just over $100 annually. It's also available as a 3 day pass. We went to cup against Wahs, hadn't been to Lidcombe since the 80s. Hasn't changed much.

 

[Alex Seyfarth's #1 Fan]

Yawn. I'll watch the first 10 minutes, then do something else if they're phoning it in again.

Mason and Tavana on one bench ....let alone an NRL bench

 

[Bula]

"A coach will always pick his best players because his livelihood depends on it."

I used to think that way-----------But Benji broke that myth. Livelihood assured or big farewell cheque.

I was ridiculed asking was Bula injured? --the reply was immediate surgery. Haha.
And questioned why wasn't Saukuru picked for centre, defence couldn't be worse than Makasini and he scores tries. Hope I'm not proved wrong, but let's have a look.

Gough the ref
Atkins the blind man in the bunker.

Schuuster named in cup

I think this team would give our NRL team a run.

So are we going to look like dicks wearing the indigenous jersey on Sunday when indigenous round was last week?

It’s over 2 rounds…

Don’t mind Gough, better than Klein, Sutton or Atkins onfield. Atkins in the bunker is a bummer though.
