My team for Round 10 vs Broncos

[teddy23]

Scratch that, Staggs out another week

Rumours they’re gonna give Reece Walsh his debut at wing, that kid is a talent

Also read somewhere that Xavier Coats has his thigh heavily strapped but is expected to play....

Are you benching Brooks or do you think Madge is.

If it is your opinion I'd like to hear the justification as you have defended him, often rightly.

The second part..I don't agree with it but I think that's what we'll see come 4pm..

Fifita gone for at least another week for Brisbane

Thankfully. Alex Glenn also out but they’ll be beating Staggs and Turpin back I believe

Thats good, after the beating those pair will surely be under done for friday, slow em down to our pace

I don’t hate it tbh, is Talau fit to play Geo?

Would’ve liked Brooks to start but at least he’s not being dropped all together and it’s a little wake up call while also giving Walters some game time experience - allows Brooks to come in with maybe 30 mins remaining with fresh legs and a motivated mindset so it’s not that bad

Personally would’ve preferred Packer over Clark but that’s just me... other than that a lot stronger team than last week

Are you sure about that?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Pretty sure Willow
dont think he offers much from the bench surely

 

[JC99]

Sounds like broncos will be missing about half their team... multiple players had to finish training early for them because of injury.

Will make it even more embarrassing if we lose

Brooks gone!

WESTS Tigers halfback Luke Brooks has been axed in favour of Billy Walters and Benji Marshall in the halves as coach Michael Maguire continues his hard line stance on selecting the team on form.
The Tigers return to one of their spiritual homes at Leichhardt Oval on Friday night to host the Broncos with local junior Brooks dropped after a poor performance in the loss to South Sydney in round nine.

Brooks missed nine tackles according to the Fox Sports Lab, a statistic which would have left coach Maguire fuming.

With Josh Reynolds suspended, Maguire has instead opted to return Benji Marshall to the Tigers right edge with Walters to play on the Tigers left side in place of Brooks.


The Walters development comes after the Canberra Raiders signalled an interest in signing the Tigers utility following a season-ending injury to Josh Hodgson.

Tigers coach Maguire has long maintained he will select the side based on form and also players being strong defenders.

This was the reason why Kiwi Test five-eighth Marshall was originally dropped after the Tigers round four loss to the Gold Coast.

Marshall featured on the bench last week against South Sydney but has since been rushed back into the Tigers starting side.

 

[JC99]

Ah well can’t say he didn’t deserve it. Walters will try his guts out and try be involved in everything I’m sure. Up to Benji to lead us around the park now

I've been a staunch Brooks lover for so long, but it's only fair he was dropped after last week. Most of the tries/breaks were created due to his poor communication. @tiger_one the forum is about to kick off!

 

[hsvjones]

Benji at 7 and Walters at 6.... Atleast we know these guys have a point to prove so I like it.

 

[tigerap]

will be interesting to see how the Bunji/Walters combination goes...a win or two could be interesting for Brooks...hope he doesn't kick stones like his mate did.

 

[tigerbalm]

Good.

Wests are a good chance to win against a depleted Brisbane at LO. If going by past Madge, Brooks could be out for two weeks min if Wests jag the win.

will be interesting to see how the Bunji/Walters combination goes...a win or two could be interesting for Brooks...hope he doesn't kick stones like his mate did.

Hopefully he looks at how Benji handled himself after being dropped. Just gotta work harder than ever.

 

[hodgo]

Well we all asked for it this is going to be interesting

 

[Moh]

I mean, I get it but we really don't have a better option.... I love what we've seen from Billy at hooker, but I just can't see a Benji/Walters combo working.

But as some have said, both have a point to prove.

Will be interesting for sure.
