I did get a giggle out of some of the suggestions in this thread. Thank goodness most of us are not the coach.

Bookies have it wrong I think

20.5 start might be more appropriate

I'd go Moses at 1 Lawrence at 6

I know this is from left field for a hooker if we are concerned about Liddle lack of experience , anyone think Sironen could handle hooker solely as ball distributor ??

The channeling of Tim Sheens never ends with you….

Occasionally you have to channel your inner Sheenius. If there was ever a time, the time is now.
I'm currently levitating and asking the gods "what would they do" they are pointing To the Northern Hemsphere,
Is Sheens there?

Haha. "They make me old but they keep me young"….......
Bring back Johnny Cronk and throw him into the custodian role for today!

My point was and always has been to pick Liddle or Cherrington first and foremost

But if they are concerned with the lack of experience from those options , none of the others have remotely worked bar 25 minutes of Halatau starting

You can see the difference it makes having a proper hooker out there. I like Halatau. I reckon he does a great job. I just don't think he does a great job for 60-80 minutes.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Maybe he should have missed tonights game.
A game to forget for old mate Rankin

 

[cktiger]

Too bad he played - was our worst by a mile

 

[king_sirro]

Rankin is so pedestrian it isnt funny. Our attack breaks down every time Brooks or Moses go to him. His bombed try was disgraceful and the 2 passes he threw in the last 5 minutes summed it all up.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

When you have a gun like Tedesco every other pistol will look ordinary

Cost us the game dropping the kick from Ado Carr imo. Was really bad in attack tonight and for a former half his ball skills were really poor

 

[maxxy86]

Yes he didn't have the best of games, I somehow wonder how fit he was??
I don't think he cost us the game but he didn't make up for his error which was unfortunate. There was little or no second faze that he could work off late in the game.

Plus the 2 poor attempts at tackles that let in trys, I mean he tries hard, but he is not a first grader, if he was he wouldn't have been in the ESL, and and some other team would have bought him back before this year.
He made his debut in 2008 and has 31 NRL games, 14 with us this year, say's it all really.

Hope you are right, I thought he was on a 2 year deal.
