No Lazarus :slight_smile:

 

[alexaki]

No Lazarus…means he's either injured or in first grade

 

[NZTiger]

or Taumata…still injured or going straight to the bench?

 

[Bazzinator]

my guess is FG also no taumata, brown or schirnacks. I no AJ has been injured as has the schirnacks so it will be interesting

 

[system]

Alan & Jason were hopeful of return this weeks as was Arana but nothing was set in stone as it would be a close call.

Brown will more than likely be the shadow bench player regardless I feel if he is not named in the side

 

[alexaki]

Why are the Tigers always one of the last teams to name their side on Tuesdays???

 

[Leroy_The_Tigers_Fan]

We only just got over the Jets in the 1st round, anyone know which game is being televised on the NSWRL Cup on Foxsports tomorrow, only saw a little of last weeks game as I had to go out to another town!.

 

[system]

It is the Jets game from last week being televised I believe

BALMAIN39 NEWTOWN 14 BEST EFFORT BY FAR THIS YEAR REPORT LATER

 

[system]

Stonking game by the entire side.

Gower played his best game of the season and Vunakece as well.

Really cohesive and playing as a unit. They rediscovered their defensive line speed.

Farlow is a defensive lynchpin and Nicholls and Cowan did very well in the halves.

Downside is two injuries. Brett Lane came off after maybe 10 minutes and when he re-emerged it was in team street gear. Not sure of the injury.

Makaui lasted one or two tackles in his comeback and dislocated his shoulder.

Carr & Meaney showed why they should be looked at for a first grade spot

 

[system]

Another year where Balmain a Balmain match clashes with our game at Penrith. Another year where I leave my home 15 minutes drive from CUA Stadium and drive 40+ minutes in the opposite direction.

Another year I know I made the right choice

 

[Danos]

Poor Makaui. I remember when I first saw him play. I thought he'd carve up coming off the bench in firsts one day. Just no luck at all.

 

[weststigerman]

Did Taumata play? It was mentioned in another thread he played…

 

[system]

No he didn't. Nicholls and Gavin Cowan were the halves combination

 

[Guest]

Mitch Brown was insurance for FG tonight too. Warmed up but didn't play.

 

[system]

Newtown are going to miss Luke Towers at the back for however long his injury keeps him out.

We play them again in a few weeks time. 3 times and not even half way through the comp. A fortnight back to back at Henson first the Jets than the Sharks

 

[Balmain_Tiger]

put that big meaney in first grade!

 

[system]

He was outstanding again yesterday wasn't he
