NYC Team Announcement: Round 5

[Geo]

Wests Tigers NYC Coach Brett Kimmorley has named his Round 5 team to take on the Parramatta Eels at ANZ Stadium on Monday, April 6.

Kickoff for the Easter Monday clash is scheduled for 12:45pm.

After a last start win over the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs, Kimmorley’s side will be looking to record back-to-back wins for the first time in 2015 when they take on the Eels this week, who held off a fast finishing Rabbitohs side last weekend.

Both sides come into this week’s match with four points, but at opposite ends of the table, with Wests Tigers coming into the weekend in sixth while the Eels sit in 12th position.

Kimmorley has named a similar side to the one that defeated the Bulldogs, with Mason Cerruto called back into the side for the injured Watson Heleta. Ivory Coast born winger Obed Karwhin has retained his also spot after scoring a hat-trick on debut last week.

Experienced forward Matthew Woods has been named on an extended interchange bench as he looks to make his return from an eight month absence due to injury.

Good to see Matt Woods back. Strong side once again, hopefully Kimmorley can get this side playing for 80 minutes soon as they'll be hard to hold out IMO.

Sattherthwaite was due back Rd 4\. Wonder whether he has recovered or if he cant get a spot in the side.

Any thoughts on how Kimmorley is going.

Im undecided if he is a good footy talker or a good footy coach?

From what I have seen we seem not to have much strategy or structure in attack, a bit of a lack of a game plan. Hopefully that's all a work in progress though.

He has recovered

Interesting. I rate him very highly. Although its a very good backline I would find a spot for him ahead of Jacobs and Cerruto.

Problem with Tom is his size. He's quick, but not big enough to play centre. Wing/fullback the only options. Seve Heleta, Kharwin all should be picked ahead of him. Tohi he could replace, but Jacobs and Murray are also circling for a position. Tom will have to bide his time for now and get some fitness via ron massey…

Every coach, commentator and fan has favourites.

I would find room for Satterwaite in myside somewhere.

Interesting Sabre, this was my concern. Interesting to see how it plays out come the end of the year.

Parramatta snuck home against a fast-finishing Canterbury side as their inconsistent form continued while the Tigers bounced back from a heartbreaking loss to defeat the Bulldogs.

Yeh when I posted it I thought Jacobs and Murray were playing on the wings. I would have Tom on the wing ahead of Tohi every day of the week. Kharwin looks sharp but Tom looks a better allround footballer to me. But it looks like he isnt seriously in the clubs plans. if you cant crack NYC then you aint going to play first grade.

24-6 to us with 25 to go :slight_smile:
Great start to the 2nd half!

 

[tsjonathan]

What a star liddle is. Scored a try a game.

 

[fergiefurr]

I've watched a lot of nyc and since he came in last year have nothing to suggest Alofi is a decent fullback. Surely we have someone better?
