I'm very impressed with the Trobjevic brothers.
Jake in particular is from the old school of tough players. I reckon he is made for Origin.

Tom has the height and size to match anything Queensland can throw at us.
Great speed and skill too.

Congrats to teddy… But geez moylan has been treated like crap

 

[tig_prmz]

yeh really feel for moylan, he doesnt deserve to be dropped but teddy is just much better.

jake trobjevic and RCG from panthers are both machines.

 

[goldcoast_tiger]

A much better team in my opinion

 

[stryker]

Yeah pretty safe and unadventurous stuff from the same old, same old…..

Teddy and Duges will make a difference in the backline with their x factor attack and Wade Graham will do the same in the middle as will Bird from the bench. However guys like Ferguson, Jennings, Fifita, Farah and Gal just add nothing extra to what we have seen for years and Woods is fast becoming one of them.

The selectors have sacked 2 up and comers who were both promoted too early in Moylan and Walker and one of the old gaurd in Bird. Bird non selection was to be expected but the young guys should feel aggrieved as they were chewed up and spat out by this NSW machine of incompetence.

Moylan doesn't strike me as a good utility player & Teddy has made a far better case for selection at fullback, so I think dumping Moylan was the right call. Walker should never have been selected in the first place. It's just a shame more weren't dumped, like Ferguson & Jennings for starters.

 

[underdog]

If I was Moylan I'd be filthy that Michael Jennings is still there in front of him.

 

[Chainlink]

Better looking team. Although I'd have both Morris brothers ahead of Jennings and Ferguson.

 

[Demps]

Mediocre backline (apart from Mansour and Teddy)
They have a lot better options IMO and should be thinking to the future.

 

[Peaking]

True. Jennings is extremely lucky he kept his spot. Should have been dropped and moved Bird into the centres, Moylan on the bench.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Well firstly congrats to Teddy

And thank God Walker didnt get picked

 

[tig_prmz]

tedesco will be the first out person from our future spine to play in an actual big game.

none of our young players have ever played in the intensity of a finals game or SOO or test football and will be a good test to see how they handle the pressure. sometimes, no matter how good you are, the pressure gets to you- however, teddy seems like someone who can thrive under pressure.

 

[tig_prmz]

also, probably the first time ever that i can remember that there is no manly player playing SOO.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

I remember MOST of us were so happy when Farah finally got the SOO jersey

Im sure we all share the same excitement with Teddy

 

[happy_tiger]

So very happy I was wrong

Congrats Teddy , well deserved

Now if you find you have a spare 80 minutes on Saturday evening you know where to be …..

 

[Fade_To_Black]

If I was Moylan I'd be filthy that Michael Jennings is still there in front of him.

Absolutely, Jennings is useless. Definitely a Daley favourite to still be in the side after a disgraceful game in SOO 2.
Moylan or Cartwright should of been on the bench as utility.
