daniella will be suspended,so we wont have to worry about him next week.brown to centre and latu to the wing

I will be surprised if he isnt suspended the lifting tackle looked pretty bad and i am sure he will have a case to answer and i agree with your 2 changes to the side

agree with u fully there..brown to centre..daniela was pretty ordinary today

brown was horrendous today that first try where the roosters score with skdand hes just watching as three other tigers are frantically trying to stop him was horrid.so much drop ball after that from brown meant it was his worst ever game for the tigers.Daniela on the other hand looked like a guy who just needed the run as it was timing issues he did put some big hits up on defence.
 
Yeah, was expecting bigger things from Daniela today. Remembering how well he played in the limited time he had in first grade last year, I thought he would do his job more effectively than he did.

Could be in a bit of trouble after his dangerous tackle today, which means we may need to find a replacement next week anyway.
 
Well it's not like the entire team performed to their best.
Real average all over the park… Loved Daniela's ruthless tackles though, stupid penalties though.
Thought he had a quiet game but still should play, as mentioned maybe Brown to center Geoff to the wing.
 
Geoff hates playing wing, see's himself as a center only played a few games there for the panthers and i dont think he enjoyed it.
 
If he isn't suspended, I would like to see him again in the centres. Lawrence will be out for a fair while. Daniella was good when called upon last year. I can't drop him and try someone else after one game.
 
Daniela was ordinary. He gives away penalties as well and that really gets me going.

I'd drop him after that performance.

I`m sure he`d prefer playing wing in first grade rather than centre in the State Cup if given the choice.
 
Need a long term solution (i.e. 3 months) and he ain't the answer.

I have read good things about Davis though, even Brown looks the goods to me.
 
Tigers depth & experience is already being pushed to the limit. Now you all want to drop a guy with about 40 first grade games under his belt & add another rookie to the top squad? What then? we can all wring our hands & say- well, it's because we are playing only kids, that's why they are getting beaten..

Daniella wasn't that bad. He was willing in defence, if lacking in ability. I don't want to throw him out when he obviously was putting in. The forwards tried hard, but didn't create enough room for the likes of Benji, Moltzen & daniella to make proper use of. As a result, the more power-runner style players like Utai & Ayshford seemed to be more effective. If the forwards can create a bit of room, get a bit of a roll-on against the Bunnies, Daniella is the best option at Centre.

Schoolboy errors CG, he was the worst of a bad bunch. I'm a big fan of his but after the way he played yesterday he should stick the right side which is where his strength is, but that will only happen if Ayshford is injured.

It burned me when Moltzen made that tremendous effort to pick up Leiulai only to have Daniela rush off the line and give away a cheap penalty the next tackle!

If he is given another chance next week to repent I won't complain, everyone deserves a second chance.
