Royce Hunt totally omitted from the team.
Must mean he’s either injured or, or it’s part of our ploy to try and offload him.

saw that it has to be a injury theres no way hes form been that bad
also i dont understand why hes not in first grade benji loves playing people 20 mins a game if not at all he fits in with marshall bad ways he uses his bench

His form has been ok, but could it be a ploy from the club to try and force him to move on next year and free up some cap space ?

Would be injured.

Makes zero sense to leave him out if we want to punt him whilst he was coming off the bench in reserves anyway.

Not necessarily as a ploy could be to leave him out totally, make him feel frustrated and therefore look to move to a club where he could potentially be playing and playing regular NRL or Super League game time in 2026.
He’s clearly no longer in Benji’s plans and removing his salary from our cap could potentially assist in signing someone such as Josh Papali’i.
It would be a like for like replacement, but you would have to think it’s likely we would get a lot more out of Big Papa than Royce in 2026 on current form.

very ill disciplined to start the game warriors score an easy try

 

[Speed2burn]

Jeez Tu’itupou has had a game to forget so far. Warriors have kicked to him 3 times for 2 drop balls and the 3rd time he just did not contest for the ball and Warriors in again

Their big bodies are rolling through us with their hard running at the moment.
It won’t change unless we fix our line speed and get up and start hitting harder and becoming more dominant in the tackle.

He hasn’t looked good at all.
Add to him not marking his man for the 1st try.

Looks like one of those halves.
We just kicked out on the full from the kick off, Warriors hit it up and penalty.

When we hold the ball we have been making meters better than them.

Our discipline & errors are the difference.

He’s not going anywhere till his contract is over. He was gunna retire before Benj and Richo came skipping in. No one is gunna want him now.
Benji needs to work with him. Get him firing again, bcoz in short stints as an impact prop he can be good. But you would need to be good at using your bench, and I think that’s where the problem lies as much as Royce’s flaws.
Let’s hope it’s just a niggle injury and he comes back firing.
Or one that he can be medically retired on. Not that I want him to be injured at all. I’d rather have him firing off our NRL bench.

Yep was going to say the same thing, it looks like boys v men out there. Kit has made a couple good runs but that’s about it. We need a decent flow of possession otherwise this will get ugly

I’d say this part of his game is what’s holding him back from 1st grade. Looks like a deer in headlights under the high ball

 

[Speed2burn]

Warriors in again 16-0 after Naden came close to scoring

It’s gonna be a long game. Warriors too big and too skilful

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Do they realise that we have a strike edge with Makasini and Laulili'i out there. Couple of sets on NZ's line and they keep the ball in the middle or Lovodua goes from dummy half. Use the ball boys.

kit is awesome the way he powers through them and his leg drive keeps him moving forward something we need in first grade

 

[tigahhh]

wahs are just a bloody good side & mpaps has been benched so not a lot of creativity from our halves so edges aren’t seeing any ball

 

[jstigers]

How our are centres going?

 

[Speed2burn]

The size difference is killing us, we are using up 3 bodies in each tackle and they still get offloads away. Add to that too many errors and penalties

 

[Speed2burn]

How our are centres going?

Neither of them have seen much ball because we’ve been defending pretty much all half. May made a couple get out of trouble runs but that’s about it

 

[tigahhh]

jeez this is not our day
