Matt Groat named. Hopefully he goes alright, we might need him for first grade soon!

[bp_tiger]

All about salary cap restrictions for players outside the Top 25 contracted players, 2nd tier salary cap is very low so putting Brooks into 1st grade would put a huge dent into it so Miller has to suffice, I hope he steps up big time!.

Good luck to the Tigers, they're up against a solid Norths pack but I reckon they could spring an upset with this lineup.

 

[innsaneink]

Are all teams playing catch up games?
This really couldnt come at a worse time for us

 

[greatodensraven]

Hope the boys have a big game, esp the likes of mr T, brooks & groat. Might need them ready for first grade soon!

Brooks will be there for one reason , getting him used to playing with the big boys

NRL will be just around the corner in my opinion

Does this mean no matter how good anyone outside the top 25 performs they will not be allowed to move up to 1st grade????
This is utter crap… if this is the case.

All bar five teams are playing the catchup Ink

Newcastle are also playing Wednesday night

 

[Fade_To_Black]

Ridiculous situation that they have to play a "catch-up" game during the week. Both teams should get a win if a game is unable to be played due to weather. It ain't the players fault it couldn't be played.

So Potter reckons Marshall will go to 7 and partner Sirro in the halves, and Miller back to NSW Cup.

What do you reckon will happen to Brooks? Stay up or go back down?

 

[wests4life987]

i reckon Brooks should go to bench in NSW cup to get at least half a game and getting used to bigger and more experienced players

Not sure if it will happen but I'd prefer Miller and Brooks both play in the halves.

I guess potter will probably drop Brooks to NYC, but I'd prefer he was kept up for the rest of the year or until his time comes at FG.

 

[Goose]

Brooks isnt playing NYC, must be still playing NSW Cup

if miller drops back, maybe one fo the 2 plays five eight

Benji must be out then

Unless Potter is being Shifty

 

[Tigerpete]

Madden would be the one to miss out. Could get loaned out to Wests, similar to Groat and Mr T last week. Seems more beneficial for Miller to partner Brooks.
