Injuries have forced their hand but probably a blessing in disguise.
Petelo has been excellent in their u16 development team and Zoghaib should have been in the halves from rd 1 imo.

 

[lathami]

Wests 36-12
Makasini And Taylor 2 try’s each

Serious question . Is the high Lebanese background in this team because the coach is Lebanese ?
No disrespect , but in a sport that is dominated by bigger stronger faster , this seems counter intuitive to the recruitment strategies other teams ie. a high Polynesian/ massive human recuitment strategy .
I’ve seen the comments on the “small” state of the team , and the only reason I can see why is nepotism .

Taylor? He’s not listed, late change, or spell check?

 

[KingRobbie]

Taylor? He’s not listed, late change, or spell check?

Mistake, he means Tyson Walker.

 

[lathami]

Taylor? He’s not listed, late change, or spell check?

Sorry walker not Taylor, just a brain fart…

O Large injured?

 

[Eternal Tiger]

O Large injured?

Yep, ankle injury. Doubt he plays again this Season. Jhevon Lele was awesome when he filled in for him last week, he's a year young player.

How bad was it? They've got around 4 weeks until finals do you think he's any chance of returning before than

I don't think so. Hope I'm wrong though

 

[Yossarian]

These games could get ugly on the weekend. Balmain struggling in both comps.

They always find a bit when it's Wests.

 

[balmain boy]

If they don't get ugly, I'll be disappointed. One club is full of future stars, the other has none

What chance have the Tigers got?
Wests run on 30 min. before them?

 

[finnzo]

Super keen to see if this wests side can go the hole season undefeated again would be a huge boost for our club

I don’t believe their ethnicity has anything to do with it.

 

[balmain boy]

Wests predictably smashing Balmain in Matts. 24-0 at HT and could have been more with a few tries going begging
Men against boys out there
