IMO I thought Humble looked the best of Moltzen & Miller also.
In the Sharks game I thought Humble showed alot more as halfback than Moltzen. I again thought this in the second half against Raiders.
There is a chance it was luck, but their attack seemed far better with Humble playing on Monday, for whatever reason.
He might not be an amazing 7, but at least he looks willing to make a play. Moltzen & Miller both look a bit too scared to make a play, they would rather just pass the ball to Benji and drop out of the play.
Just my 2c - not the best 7, but our best option right now.
Peter Sterling thought he was Eels half solution - http://www.smh.com.au/rugby-league/league-news/sterling-tips-humble-as-solution-to-crisis-20100828-13wtj.html

Miller looked to be injured towards the end of the game. I have no problem with humble but Meaney on the bench gives u nothing

Joel I have seen all u have said, but I don't care what u have seen him do in NYC it's wot he does (and doesn't do) in the nrl that counts!
He is rapped for his kicking game and the first kick he did was a disgrace…
Commentators also said lastnight If u watched the tape back after the game that killer needed to take control on a couple of the last tackle plays...
Stick with humble

Mtd neither will miller, but someone has to play there, moltzens best spot is fullback, millers best spot is NYC so who is left u goose…
Humble has been picked there and must stay!
He also went well there during the trial against the eels without Marshall on the ground

I don't post much , but I realize now what a hole luis not being there has created. and yes he was a turnstile at first but sheens stuck with him and it paid of.and he was the right fit to our beloved tigers he had a great passing game wich in turn gave guys like Marshall and our outside backs room to move in attack, and he could break tackles as well. that coupled with a forward pack not getting over the advantage line at the moment is a problem for us .so what I'm saying is that these are my observations with our side . so my message to sheens is decide on our half back weather it be humble or miller, and give them chance to prove them selves there, like he did with lui!!!!

He had one kick under pressure and he got it wrong,[This word has been automatically removed] me,Benji has had around 50 this year and got it wrong.You seem to miss the point,He wasnt playing half back last night and it was preatty clear he wasnt the man the ball was to go to on the 5th tackle.It was the game plan and has been that benji gets the ball on the 5th tackle,moltzen kicked the ball 3 times in the first 3 games.
You dont seem to be grasping that.Your looking for another attacking player to score points and look flash when have we no structure or organisation in our play at all.Points will come later.
Humble does look sharp when he gets the ball and drifts across field and i hope on sunday he has great game,and if he does we stay with him.But i dont want someone playing that game,as thats benjis game.I want a proper 7 who controls the ruck ,Sends the forwards one or two wide when we need it,gives good ball to benji and the centres and then kicks to open space on the 5 th tackle.

Miller was under no pressure with that kick Joel.. But all that u are saying about miller humble will be doing all that in time..
I don't need to see attacking flare, I would much prefer we focused on defense.. But humble in time will do all that…
Ultimately, need to buy a quality proven nrl standard 7

Am a fan of miller. In his 1st starting game he did well. Yes he is only young and needs to develop his game to take control. He did get involved and was faired pretty well for a small bloke in defence. Hopefully his injury isnt serious and hes back on the park soon.
Tom should go well at half. And of so keep him there. Of not shift moltz back to 7\. When he does/did/used to get involved he and benji carved up.

How can Benji work his Magic when he has no continuity along side of him, I just wish Mr. Sheens didn't hit the panic button every time we lose, we surely need to settle on the half back/five eighth combination for the long term.
From the start of the season we were assured that Moltzen was going to be the long term 1/2 but by Round 4 he had been punted and for the 2nd time in 2 years teenager Miller got a shot, well if you don't win first time you're dropped which appears to be Sheens Mantra, remember Lazarus from 2 seasons ago, bring back Glen Air!.

Dual international Lote Tuqiri will make his long-awaited return from a wrist injury when he starts for Wests Tigers in their NRL clash with South Sydney on Sunday.
Tuqiri will play his first match since undergoing wrist reconstruction surgery in December.
His inclusion is the most notable change to the side that was beaten 30-16 by Canberra on Monday night.
Tigers coach Tim Sheens has reacted sternly to the loss, with halfback Jacob Miller axed and Blake Ayshford and Matt Groat both benched.
Tom Humble has been given the all-important job partnering Benji Marshall in the halves.
Joel Reddy will move to the centres from the wing to replace Ayshford.

At last a 1/2 back with a shoulder…Miller had a great game the other night .I will reserve my thoughts on Humble until he has tackled ever 110kg forward thrust at him,saved a try with a one on one tackle on a rampaging forward 5 mts out and scored a try ..some here mark players very differently to me.I hope Humble has a blinder as we need to get into gear ..lets give credit where due young Miller put his hand up the other night.Humble looks the goods with 10 to go when evey bodys out of fuel we will see on Sunday!
