Forwards depth

[Tigerdon]

I'll throw Matt Eisenhuth in as a smokey for a backrow spot..strong end to the ISP season earning a spot in the extended NRL squad…rated very highly by Stringer especially for his defence...

Good to hear someone is looking promising for the backrow. Is he a late bloomer? I haven't heard much about him.
A good defensive second rower is priority number one.

He'd be 23-24 now…Australian Schoolboy 2010 had stints with Parra and Penrith in lower Grades before joining Wests Tigers mid year ...192cm around 110kg big motor ...Was one of our best through the ISP finals...

Finally some good news that could add to our team…

Eisenhuth was promising.

Sue won't play lock, unless we don't re-sign ET.

Back row will be the same as last year. Lawrence, Aloiai. They both have to improve though. With a first season in the NRL at back row now under both their belts and another off-season to work on size and technique there's no excuses. Aloiai needs to improve 100% from last year. He was quiet and lacked impact and endurance. As did Lawrence. Neither were remotely close to being 80 min players.

This year is surely Sue's last chance. He's no rookie, he needs to be consistenly good. Fewer dropped balls, missed tackles, penalties.

If Alioai improves 100% on what he did in his first year at 20 and no off season due to injury will be looking at a test player.

Agree with your summation of Sue.

I think Michael Chee Kam will be a big improver this coming season playing second row in first grade.

Didn't realise MCK was still with us, I thought he only signed for one year?

I hope your right because I think he has more talent than most of our forwards and he will get a lot better playing week in and week out at NRL level

 

[balmain boy]

MCK, an athletic forward, with some pace and skill, an offload, solid defence and a good knack of reading the game and being in the right position?

Why would we include him in our lineup??

 

[Bengal_Tiger]

In regards to MCK just needs to get a opportunity and I'll think he'll grab it with both hands .

You are joking Sue is one of our best. Can improve with handling and lateral defence but I'd get rid of everyone outside of Tedesco and Moses before him and that includes Woods

 

[batboy]

I would run with the following: 13) Sue, 12) Aloai 11) MCK
I would have Lawrence off the bench however, I don't think we have another first grade quality back rower at the club. Lovett, Edwards are not good enough and lack talent.

We may unearth another Aloai this year in Masters who knows but there are question marks in a position which, defensively is he most important on the field

about 100 games in your whole back row…. There is the problem!!

Tyler Cassel and Dallas Graham released. Getting easier to pick the state cup team. :slight_smile:

 

[tig_prmz]

i have no doubt this will be the starting lineup

8\. woods
10\. ava
11\. lawrence
12\. aloiai
13\. ET

14\. lovett
15\. grant
16\. sue
17\. liddle probably

Running out with no hooker..different…. innovative ....but I like it...

Has a lot of pluses Geo - saves a salary, one less player to get injured, less crowding when passing across field, one less chance of a missed tackle, knock-on etc.

I think it may catch on - let's not tell everyone though eh!

How many games in our halves and fullback?
We have an experienced front row who should lead from

Isn't it the wingers job to play dummy half anyway? 😛

 

[jirskyr]

He agreed to a 1-year extension at the back end of this year.

I was a little surprised as I thought the club really mucked him around this year. I mean, we have every right to do that, but I could understand a guy getting fairly frustrated when picked as 18th man for half the games, only running on 5 times and more or less being immediately dropped despite some decent performances.
