Mitch Brown

what's the point of bringing him as a bench player if he is not going to get any game time?? I am no expert but plenty of them on radio were scratching their heads as well, not to mention wondering why there was no reshuffle at half time when Robbie is clearly no half back and he looked a lot more dangerous at dummy half..
I am just hoping Souths and Cronulla continue on their losing ways.. :wink:

only reason i could of thought was that fitz was gonna go to hooker which would of brought payton to bench, fulton to 2nd row and brown to wing…..

Why?

Because Tim has a set game plan and that's that. He's done it for a couple of years now, so it's not even a question at this point. He believes you don't need 17 men and that the extra guy should simply be a back to cover a severe injury and nothing else. Mitch Brown, Geoff Daniella etc aren't in the squad to play unless of a severe injury.

We are basically running with 16 every week.

 

[Tiger_heart]

16 or 17, can't see the difference, really…and why wouldn't you play the 17th anyway, even to give the replacement a break??

if he was gonna do that then why pick waters?

Why would you not drag off Fitzhenry who was doing nothing at around the 20 min mark and replace him with Brown remembering we had an extra replacement as well… commonsence has gone right out the window.

if it is good enough for the australian team to name two props, a 2nd rower, and a utlity on the bench then why not for the Tigers!?!?!?!?!

The difference is that Sheens is actually accountable for his performances with the Australian side.

yeah i found these things funny at the press conference for the naming of the team.

reporter - "why did you select lyons"

sheens - "i think we need a specialist right centre"
\
\
reporter - "3 forwards on the bench is that to combat the NZ pack"

Sheens - "yeah we are worried about their size so 3 forwards is a must to contain them for 80 minutes"

shame he doesnt share the same sentiments regarding his club side

Shame none of these oxygen thief reporters will ever ask the same about his club selections.

Whats worse is Waters got about 20 mins, so in effect we played 60 minutes of a game in close to 30 degree heat with 15 men… He must seriously think Folkes is a God to have the players that fit...

Pure genius it was playing with 15 men in that heat for 60+ minutes.
