All the Round 17 team news!

[Madge]

Yep, so much for big changes

The players need to pull their fingers out and prove the coach wrong in thinking about dropping them, but I just can't see that happening.

The concept of big changes was never said.

 

[Geo]

Here’s who missed out:

**Blore:** Not match fit
**Bradley:** Seems very average
**MCK:** We know exactly what he adds, very little
**Cini:** not rated by many on here
**Clark:** Off contract and a plodder
**Hoffman:** Not in our top 30 until 2022
**Jennings:** Major plodder and off contract
**McQueen** Plodder and off contract
**Seyfarth** Off contract and average
**Simpkin** deserves a run
**Dylan Smith** off contract and looks average
**Jock Madden** Deserves a run
**Talau** Has been down on form, played plenty this season

Really not many options for Madge when you look at it. People wouldn’t be happy if we played Seyfarth, Clark and McQueen over forwards who are actually contracted for next season?

Simpkin and Madden the only two who really deserve a shot

All those blokes train the house down under those selected..

Did the coach say there would be big changes? People on the forum and the media did not the coach

 

[hobbo1]

Douhie aint no fullback !
dropping talau perhaps a swap deal looming

Nah
Madge has already said Talau is a keeper

Correct - I believe the coach said changes with a. view to next year.

Benji getting a farewell tour - rightly so
Douihei - looking for his best position (probably related to the above
AJ - in plans
Mbye - fingers crosse he gets a nibble or stands up
Blore???
Talau - known quantity

 

[hobbo1]

See ya Madge ... anyone got Tooves number ! So Brooks has friends in high places 😂😂😂😂!

Yes for Toovey !

He said there’ll be some views for the future and that’s what there is in this team. Maybe not as many as I would like but there’s not a lot more he could’ve done

Yup - I would have liked to see Madden in there somewhere, but maybe that will come in a week or so.

5/8 next year is the most contentious one. Brooks, Madden, Talau, AD
Fullback is probably secondary depending on who we sign.

 

[Harvey]

Well that was a big false start. Can't believe Blore missed out in favour of ET and we have gone with one prop on the bench again against the Manly pack.

The coaches form is as poor as the teams.

 

[Tigerbuck63]

Well disappointing but not unexpected because we have little depth in the side. Madge is all hot air with selections.
At least the hard call to not renew Benji was made.

Talau - Dropped Kepaoa lets hope he has a better game this time?
Mybe/Doueihi - swapped although AD should have been dropped as well based upon last performance?
Marshall/Brooks - Swap lets see who demands the ball and if Benji still crabs across field?
Aloiai - Non starter with child due now we know why a late change last week, Congratulations. (Club communication poor)
Mybe still captain this week and plays another position, call him Mr Versatility.

Players 1 - 0 Madge
All talk nil action should have given Madden a run.
Who leaked the internal chatter should have been dropped?
At least the club has made a statement stating that Benji won't be around next season although old news.

Karma might come back to bite one of the sides he is looking to play for is Manly, another shocker with wayward defense might seal his fate.

We have not won at Brookvale since 2003.

Simpkin and Madden are the exact two most of us are disgruntled about. No one is saying they are the answer, but we need a look for next year.

RE Blore, you don't need to be match fit to have a 10 minute run off the bench. Better than having ET there for no reason.

Agree and Blore is not getting any fitter playing 10 minutes every 3 games.

This is the definition of the future according to the wests tigers. The same crap that we have seen before.

Massive let down !!!

RE Blore, you don't need to be match fit to have a 10 minute run off the bench. Better than having ET there for no reason.

Still another three weeks for either of them to get a run. Let’s not forget they are development players.

You can’t afford to have a forward on the bench only play 10 minutes especially when we are running a hooker off the bench AND we are up against a very good forward pack.

 

[hodgo]

Jebus you don't blood young players that are
A. Not ready
B. Are at a hiding to nothing.
C. Play Pivotal positions in a team going backwards

Added to that I love the look of blore but the kid looked cooked after every run and tackle. He was late back to the defensive line every tackle. Clearly needs an off season to get ready.

Other then that there is nothing much more to try we have used like 10000 players already

 

[diedpretty]

This could be interesting - Manly are playing worse than us. Wonder what happens if they lap us.

How is Blore going to get match fit?

It would be reserve grade normally but that’s not there. We can’t really afford to have him sit on the bench and play 10 mins and we can’t afford to have him out there completely gassed against Taupau and AFB

I think we will beat them. We need to try play around them though their back line is very weak
