TEAM LIST Round 3 vs. Sharks

Team List
Based on the performance of the two sides last week we wont be able to match them physically ,-forwards or backs - if we don't maintain at least 50% possession and get a fair crack with the referees. Can't see how we win this one but Im having difficulty seeing any wins till some of the opposition teams get some injuries.

I'm expecting big games from Sullivan & Seyfarth off the bench. They both have points to prove to their team mates & us supporters.

Benji does the right thing and demotes them from the starting side, whilst giving them a chance to rectify their R2 performance & not battering their confidence. Good play!

If shit happens again, hello NSW Cup in R4.
 
starting side looks good to me, but the four on the pine looks pretty weak in comparison to their counterparts. Hunt and Hazelton are both very good players and will make strong impacts.

Fainu will do a job in that regard but I'd be putting Klemmer back to the bench to counteract the pair I just mentioned and starting Twal, who I think would likely do a better job. Seyfarth will spell Pole but I'm concerned that we'll lose steel and size thru the middle when that happens.

no idea what Marshall has in store for Sullivan. if anything I'd like to see him buzzing around the middle and forced to run the football. if he's just injury cover for the halves then I'd rather us bring Kepaoa onto the bench.

very excited to see Justin Olam debut.
 
Emotion isn’t something you can use as motivation every week, but there are a couple games a year you can really get yourself up to prove a point. This is one of those weeks for us imo. If we come out and start the same way we did last week, being our first game at home, coming off a bad loss, then I can see us winning only 3 or 4 games all year.
 
Best team we can hope for with the injuries we have. Would like to see Simpkin in for Sullivan, i suspect he is there as Sezer is not 100%. Expect changes after the Capt run. Seyfath i suspect there for his utility value.
 
I would normally go against changing the spine after 1 game but we need Sezers experience and Galvin had to hold his spot. So does Olam play on the right side now? Anyway I am on board for a win this week. Good old fashioned ambush.

Nah, would say it'll be Olam on the left, Faataape moving to the right.

Kepoa? How many bad games does he have to play before people realise he just doesn’t cut it in the NRL? He doesn’t tackle 1 on 1 and drops the ball and makes a lot of mistakes… Seyfarth is a reserve grader , I have no idea at all why he is in the first 17 .. 😳🤪
 
Lack of Front Row depth is what really has me worried - Outside our 17 we don't have a single front rower in the 22 and with Sione Fainu injured we have none in NSW Cup. If one or 2 of Stef, Klem, Twal go down which as props they will possibly get injured or suspended as front rowers do in every team then we are really on bare bones.

Overall think the team looks better. Would happily have Naden back but prob 1 more week the question will be is he on the wing or at centre
 
Latu named at 7 in KOE team… bring it on, sooner he is in the NRL squad the better, we need all the Fainus in the 17 and we start to look like a rugby League team.. the 3 of them are winners that will all lift playing alongside each other.. TDS and Galvin and Bula, and Luai next year and we have the start of something rather special.. the Fainus are proud western Sydney boys that If can be nurtured by Benji to buy into becoming part of a Wests Tigers squad that represents them and that they can be part of rebuilding the club into a powerhouse then the sky really is the limit.. all these guys grew up together, this is a special opportunity for them all to create something very unique

I think he offers something in attack a number of our players do not: sheer gamebreaking ability. I have a number of concerns about his defence and his handling, but we probably need him on the bench to provide legspeed and a bit of spark.

it can go one of two ways with AJ, but with Pole moving into the starting side, don't you think we need something?
