They have the Grand Final earlier, Toyota Cup will start at like 2, and NSW Cup at like 11:30\. If they wanted the AA Grand Final on the same day as well, it would have to kick off at like 9:30-10am, which just isn't possible.

Channel 9 usually replaces the Arrive Alive final on TV on the day of the grand final doesn't it?

Tikinau is a winger no? He started there at the beginning of the year with Towney while Roqica was in the centres yeah?

Big step bringing him in at such a crucial match. I thought Politoni has been very solid coming off the bench recently.
 
Tikinau….played second half last week....Jackson picked up a knock....

Cant have both Florimo and Politini off the bench surely......
 
FLORIMO HAPPY TO BE MR. FIX IT

Wests Tigers player Jay Florimo has spoken to WTV about the team’s success to date in the Toyota Cup.
>
Florimo has proven to be a real young gun for the Wests Tigers, whether it be at five-eighth, half-back or hooker.

WATCH JAY FLORIMO NOW ON WTV….....http://www.weststigers.com.au/default.aspx?s=wtv&vid=2683

I thought Tikinau looked uncomfortable pretty much all of the second half.

They have an awesome front row in Hancock and Merrin.Hancock run over 256m against the Warriors, and the Wests Tigers will have to defend at their best to stop their go forward.Beau Henry is a class act, and they have to shut him down , if they are any chance.

Looking forward to this clash tomorrow arvo
 
$4 is way too much. if lui plays and is fit we are definitely a chance.

also i know its a hard call but id leave florimo off the bench. politoni was dynamite off the bench last week.

Politoni is a little champion who has 1st grade written all over him in the next couple of years.
Will only get bigger and faster. Has a high work rate, great footwork, good hands and is quick out of dummy half. He just gives the forward pack an x factor when he comes on.
Corby has been playing well and is just a little tough nut.
Florimo is agressive however I think he lacks the skills to go further. NSW cup is maybe the length that is career will go unless the Central Coast Bears get up and running.
I think Dwyer needs to inject himself a bit more and they will need him at his best this week.
Our biggest weakness i feel is in our centres (not knocking them) but they dont really have that strike power for me. They dont bust the line when attacking and dont really have good handling - passing skills to supply the wingers (who both have had great seasons). They are not bad players, just not strike players or x factor players.
Good luck boys it has been a pleasure watching you over the past few weeks on fox.
 
Politoni was dynamic last week, surely he must get a run again tomorrow.

Anyone know the chances of Lui playing? The boys did great without him last week however i think if we are to have any chance v Saints we need Lui playing.

Agree on both points….our centres look a little slowish.

And watching them has been tops all year.
