Injuries

In all my years supporting the tigers, I can't recall a worse injury toll.

We're losing key players, and early in games, which forces us to reshuffle and it leaves us with no impact from the bench.

While it's a pretty ordinary squad, no bar Penrith and Melbourne would be competitive with 8 injuries every week.

True but we're getting left with 1 on the bench losing hookers and halfback.

The storm had their fullback and halfback out yesterday and copped 30.

I get your point but this is too much. Amazingly, we were in that game again but losing guys through 1st half like last week. Amazing we has decent teamwork with that patchwork 17 but it unraveled when we lost Simkin and Brooks.

There is a limit.
 
Looking at suspected injury list after tonight (cows game)-
My team for next game against the Dogs would be:
To’a
Noffa
Toupou
Peachy
Mamaulo
Madden
Hastings
Tamou
Liddle
Stef
Luc
Garner
Offa

Mikaele
Tuilagi
Twal
Pauga

Assuming Brooks, AJ, Musgrove, Simpkins, plus previous others, all unavailable.

Good post MM.
Don't worry about what people are saying tonight, they want success so the blinkers go on.
Even if we lost by 1 point in extra time the knives would be out.
Our forum is just like the
Media, kick em while they're down.
The only way yo stop the negativity is to win.
I hope we can play the same run on side for the weeks to come

I've been on this forum intermittently since July 05 and except for that surreal and meant to happen few months in 05 it's always the same.

Those years it was sack Sheens and Benji and take Farah with you.

I used to post things will unravel quickly once that happened.

You "intermittently" posted since 2005 but according to the Forum data you joined in 2010 - Go Away - 10 months in the Sin Bin Devs!

Yes the problem is we are losing multiple players during matches. I’ve got no doubt that at full strength and with our renewed attitude this year, we could have been 5 or 6 wins.
 
If Doueihi is back this week (possibility according to THE_POM) do you play him in center and have Madden fill in for Brooks, or play Doueihi at 5/8 and stick with makeshift centres?
