Daniella just got ruled out

[Ghostdogg]

We are falling apart at the wrong time of year!

Meaney is the logical choice even for his goal kicking alone, how terrible would it be if we lose by 10 after Marshall kicks 2 from 5 or something?

Does that mean we scored 5 tries ….giddy up...

Suddenly our backline doesn't look to have too many points in them....I hope Meaney comes in but this game is for the pigs...

Geez I hope Liam plays and tackles his ring off...

 

[Tiger_Watto]

Go the BABY TIGERS!!!! (Now its our turn)

Meaney has had a few raps on here, but i have my doubts about him to be honest. However, i would love to see a cinderella story here, where meaney comes in and does a great job both as a fullback and a goalkicker and proves to be the missing link we've been searching for. One can only hope.

Sheens also dismissed constant speculation about Tim Moltzen returning from a knee reconstruction for the finals.

“He is only 5 to 6 months post surgery and although he is training along with Tuiaki, they are pretty much looking at next season,’’ Sheens added.

Shifty Sheens….

 

[hybrid_tiger]

As long as Fitzhenry does not start, I don't have any issues.

I believe we will see Meaney at FB, Brown at centre.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Well thats rotten luck , losing players at the extreme important part of the season.

Bet Fults will play and Meaney doesnt even make the team in favour of Fitzy then it will be real Shifty Sheens….
This game is a real test of our character as a football team. Lets see if the baby tigers can get us home.

Meaney to fullback brown in the centers & meaney the goal kicker & leave fitzhenrey on the bench.

 

[redemption]

Meaney will not be goal-kicker for a one-off game prior to thge semis regardless of if he does get a start!

That would be great for Marshall's confidence in the coming weeks when Meaney is back with BRET - morons!

is that at everyone endorsing meany as goal kicker or just at the coaching staff?

 

[Aladinsane]

Good news for all those screaming for Meaney to be promoted.

This will give us another chance to see him.

Brown in the Centres wont be that bad.

Chin up Guys - We are still a real good chance at 2nd after 26 rounds

Another chance , your right, as most of us blinked and missed The only time Sheens gave him a chance in the dying minutes of the Bulldog game at ANZStadium.

Matt Ryan in for Fitzy and it's complete

Well Sheens did say that we will go nowhere in the finals without a specialist fullback…

With Mckinnon gone lets see if he was true to his word...Meaney must start at fullback if that's the case...

 

[alex]

Fitzy will start at fullback, Brown to the centres, Meaney to get 2 minutes at the end if he's lucky.

Just watch it happen

 

[The_Tooth]

I tend to like the makeup better with Brown in the centres and Meaney at the back. Daniella's defense still concerns me whereas I think Brown is a bit stronger there and also much better in the air and on kick returns. Meaney's attacking football should makeup for Daniella attack.

That said, I dont think Sheens is giving away too much. I noticed Seti Latu is back from injury this week. Is he a chance considering he's been promoted recently. Was Meaney still injured when Latu played 1st grade?

 

[alexaki]

Be interesting to see what Tim does here. He had Meaney on the bench against the Bulldogs earlier in year.
I think I'd move Beau to FB and put Fitzy on the wing and keep Meaney on the bench.

Its a no brainer IMO - Meaney to FB, Brown to Centre, Fitzy on the bench.

Lachlan Coote did it for Penrith.

or 2nd if the sharkies do us another favour :slight_smile:

yeah it *should* be a no brainer, hopefully this will be the case

 

[Captain_Awesome]

Brown stays, Ryan to centre, Latu to wing

 

[Peaches]

Hopefully Daniella isn't out for too long. Brown could do the job for a week but I'm not sure whether he could match-up against the likes of Gasnier, Folau and Kenny-Dowell. I like Daniella's chances better.

I think Brown is the better option at the back but are there better options in the centres?
