Herbert & Sukkar huge despite Sukkar giving away a 6 again on the 5th. Andrews so impressive in attack, needs to hit and stick in D. Attard classy but atm lacks strength & power. Team as a whole look to be lacking energy for some reason. To’a very rusty but couple of nice moments.

Latu Fainu to lock story in this thread ... https://weststigersforum.com/threads/latu-fainu-282.35130/post-2249471

Key pars ... Fainu, who is able to negotiate with rival clubs from November 1, has started a transition into the forwards, setting his sights on being a ball-playing lock. “I don’t mind what position I play. I love being here, and I’ll always say that because it’s true. Benji’s done a lot for...

I hope we have prepared for early grubbers into the in-goal from Moses & Pezet. 1 due to their centre/winger speed & 2 put our edges in two minds in defence as game wears on.

Don’t start this, never ends well 🤣

How new Wests Tigers winger Faaletino Tavana saved his NRL career from the brink 21-year-old rookie Faaletino Tavana’s career looked over before it even began, finding himself on the chopping block after failing to meet Benji Marshall’s standards. Now he’s the Tigers’ breakout star. Tyson...

Compelling stats. The team put pressure on themselves with handling errors plus our middles need to work on better containing super-sized middles in opposition. They often had to have 4 guys in the tackle giving the Eels dummy-half options to keep the momentum going through the middle.

Good point. Tuifua was a big loss today with his size, impact & aggression. CTM is a head scratcher isn’t he! Makes some good PCM & has a good offload and pass in him but borders on ‘plodder-ville’ with his leg speed. I think if he is to make NRL in a couple of years, he has to work on running...

Agree for most part V just think Max Taotua was good without tearing it up. Made strong runs out of yardage which the team needed today and was good defensively, the area he needs to work on the most. Just feel he needs time and with that at least another 5kg of muscle to be a dominant...

Yeah watching his brother as touch judge lol

Not me saying it, it's deep in that DT story this afternoon near the bottom.

Disappointing loss but one those games where not much went our way! As TW mentioned, Partch had a partly terrible partly unlucky game. He knocked on our 1st touch of the ball, made a defensive decision to jam in when he didn't need to in their 1st try, was beaten 1-on-1 for strength in their...
