Last night was the first live tigers game I have watched in 2 years since relocating from Sydney to Mackay, and what I witnessed from Bryce Gibbs was hopefully the start of a great year for him and the Tigers! He played a great game and led from the front but there was only one thing he failed to do? Hit that little grub WATTS into next week!

It was against a reserve side. That is all.

I was at the trial in Mackay last night. i was very impressed with all the players that trialled. Bryce was a standout taking it up and making big metres and showing good leadership. Of the new players Junior Moors was very impressive playing at prop running hard and making great yardage. Jake Mullaney was excellent at the back and scored a great try as well as goalkicking was good. Arana Taumata was also impressive in his debut and showed great speed and flashes of brillance as well as good kicking in general play. Mark Flanagan, Schernack, Pritchard,Daniella were standouts as well. Matarka, Lazarus were good without being great. Fitzhenry was good in defence but made 2 typical Fitzhenry nuffy mistake's by knocking on from a Cowboys drop-out 10 metres out & dropping ball at dummy half-only had half a game. Corby much more impressive on debut at hooker. The fitness & defence were outstanding as the boys withstood wave after wave of Cowboys attack for most of 1st quarter without conceding a point. The boys are extremely fit & Folkes has them in fantastic condition. Gibbs played the whole 80minutes. I am very confident that fitness wise we r in the best shape ever!!!!! They finished as strongly as they started. Shannon Gallant was very ordinary for the Cows so he is no great loss!!!!! Tigers attack was impressive given the sloppy conditions as I also walked on the ground after the match & it was very soft so their performance was excellent.

Thanks for that update. No surprise IMO that Gibbs was standout, he was solid last year and I expect him to improve again this year. Good to hear Moors was impressive, from the sounds of it he has thrived under Folkes fitness regime and could sneak his way into the top 17\. Overall though, it sounds like there is plenty to be positive about and look forward to. The boys are fitter and stronger than last year and if they're talk is to be believed, then they're more hungry for success too.
Can't wait for the Foundation Cup where we will get to see the big guns in action as well as some of the boys who played well last night hopefully.

Bryce was solid last year. It was the first season that he played up to first grade standard. Over the years he got a lot of special treatment because of his potential, now it is time for Bryce to payback some of that.

Hybrid you need to watch your negativity. I havent seen one positive post from you in 6 months which is a shame because I generally enjoy your insights.

No conflicting reports on Fitzhenry either. Everyone who was there claims he had a blinder in defence…
F.W.O. - leading by example

:laughing: OKay good = blinder…......right
One question though.....Fitzhenry...attack......O pts scored.....Young Chis Corby comes on 28 pts.....
If you get your attack in order the defence will take care of itself....Does this apply to Fitzhenry?

Only the people who were there will really know, but we've got at least one spectator who reckoned Corby was the more impressive at 9.

Gibbs needs to step up to the mark, and that benchmark is Sam Burgess. WHAT A PLAYER !!!
WT are VERY light on in the front row department. Gibbs needs a massive year. He needs Big Hits.

LMAO!!!!!!!! I can't believe I'm seeing Gibbs and Burgess in the same sentence and not under the headline " Burgess drives Gibbs in to China during massive tackle" Bryce Gibbs is so far away from the size, style and class of Burgess that there will be stalegtights in Hell when Bryce measures up in even one tackle to what Burgess is producing CONSISTANTLY and at an international and inter competitional level.
