No bench

[Tim Sheens]

No bench, no forward pack and now all the jokers on here excited on KPP to be our saviour.
Maybe we should recruit some more bottom 4 team forwards then we will really be a force to be reckoned with !!!
KPP just another nufty to the pack.

I am not expecting him to be our saviour, just to stiffen up our right edge defensively for 80 minutes each week. Anything that he brings attack wise is a bonus , as is Sione moving back to the middle rotation.

Remember this Tigers bench
14. Sue
15. Seumafagai
16. tapau
17. Gavet

Best impact we've ever had.

 

[Bellend]

Very poor and once again imbalanced.

 

[Demps]

14. Latu Fainu
15. Mavrik Geyer
16. Fonua Pole
17. Sione Fainu

Or what ?

You compare to today's bench apart from Hunt no impact at all, a bunch gecko's scurrying around in the dark.

Pole can play KOE until he realises what's required as a 1st grader.

Pole' lost a lot of confidence from his time out via injury , just came back dumb

Geyer is Sukkar but worse

And Pole has been woeful, even that bench sucks

What's your thoughts on a bench we could name that can compete?

Latu wearing the 7 and someone that can play decent minutes at 9 in the 14, with whoever shakes out of a tree in 15.

 

[jstigers]

We need some big bastards.... Hunt needs to work on his fitness, he can't be looking like he is about to have a cardiac arrest after 5 minutes and 2 hitups, all we are asking for is 10 mins a half with high output.....

Do you or anyone else think that an older stronger Madden would be able to fill in at 9 as well as cover the halves in the 14?

if Latu slips into 13 or 7 ,kid is best coming in from the bench somehow, can't last a game yet .love how he go's full throttle when his switched on. As for Madden really hope he turns into a worthy 1 st grader

Need to go the market

14. Latu Fainu
15. Sione Fainu
16. Davvy Moale
17. Ativalu Lisati

I’m not giving up on Pole as he is only 23, but he needs a big preseason

 

[Terry T.Nuts]

14 Royce
15 Pole
16 Twal
17 Roberts

Sick of his dumb errors and shit ball security.

Definitely need to continue strengthening the roster.

Moale & Lisati are available.
Storm have no incoming signings, I'm sure they can & will lock up Lisati - we will see.

Richo on the "wait and see" train also.

 

[BBTF]

Pole can play KOE until he realises what's required as a 1st grader.

At any other instance this should be the case, but realistically we have benches that have been carrying the likes of Charlie Murray and Sukkar. Until we get able (and I mean able...not even great) replacements, Pole has a lock on his spot. He has been very average the run home.

There aren’t always adequate solutions to problems …

I’m getting deck chairs on the Titanic vibes around Mavrik Geyer being the solution to anything if he is picked in the Top 17…. He could make an impact …but he certainly hasn’t done so previously so I think it’s more out of hope than any real expectation …and he will be 25 when he plays his first game at the Tigers … he has been around a while , so it’s unlikely he is in the verge of a leap…
