Rd 10 - WestsTigers v Knights

[Demps]

I reckon we will see;

6. Brooks
7. Madden

14. Mbye

You mean 14, right?

Nah, prop.
Lining up that medical retirement.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Wow...

Madden at 14 is legit crazy. You are going to throw a kid in mid game and disrupt the whole spine midway by moving Mbye to 9. Because disrupting a spine is a good idea....

How does the starting pack (minus the 9) all survive?

Madge is basically saying the whole root cause last week was AD's defense at 6. The bloke has lost the plot.

Gallen, Fittler and co mentioned the other day there are only three players having a red hot go at the Tigers...Jake, Stefano and AD...and they are the ones McGuire has blamed.

You can't even make this stuff up.

Yeah fixed it in the edit

May as well mix it up... Insanity is the doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Agree, but moving our best player from last week to another position and replacing him with one of our worst players last week is non sensical and ridiculous.

He's been great in attack but he leaks so many tries.

 

[weststigers]

Doueihi has been setting up tries left, right and centre.

Hopefully not a permanent move…

Agree, Simpkin should have been named on the bench.

The selections are not as crazy as they look. I particularly like the selection of Madden in the reserves. If either Brooks or MBye begin to slip in their game during t his match then Madden is ready to replace either one and could very well surprise many people with his steadiness and abilty yp get the backline moving.

They have slipped for the last three years

More of a worry having him defend at centre than further in.

 

[Tigerdave]

Oh boy.....yeah new halves pairing, great, but I guess he has to change something.

Why was Stef dropped???

 

[ElleryHanley]

somebody please say expect changes

Expect changes.

Do you realise that Madge has played his named team 1-17 every week unless injury has forced him to do otherwise?

Yes, he does not play those games. It will be 1-17.

I read posts where people praised him for "finally dropping Roberts for Cini"...but that was entirely injury forced / had to even get NRL permission.

Madge does not mix up his 1-17.

 

[Lauren]

Did he pick the team based on their salaries?

It's Magic Mushroom Round...
Feel for Stefano, he's been fantastic.

 

[Andyvee]

Looks like the coach has finally conceded that there is no chance of making the finals. Mix it up, shuffle players into different positions, blood a new half, and see if they can salvage a platform for next year.

He is quite literally our only attacking threat. Moving him is one of the dumbest selections i've ever seen. We deserve to cop an absolute towelling friday night.

It'll be hilarious if we get up.

The most deadest half pairing... SMH.. this team kills me.

Lol i'll be eating some humble pie.

 

[TillLindemann]

I am convinced Brooks is going to experiment at 9

 

[Guest]

Given the way the team is playing at the moment, I don't think it matters a great deal who is named, the end result will be the same. Newcastle's forward pack is a worry and Ponga will play off the back of that.

 

[Demps]

Moses Mbye is 1 of the most uninterested players since Mateo and Inu.

We all know he's on a high salary but this should've been Madges chance to make a point and drop him completely.

6 is probably his best position though but Douihei has been our best all year so this is an extremely poor decision.

If we lose he shouldn't have a leg to stand on.

This is a coach that is now looking for a PAYOUT! The team selected is ridiculous 2 x No7 's ..Hopeless Mbye at 6. The decision was made for Doueihi to be 6 playing with heart and well now shafted why ..because Brooks is protected simple ! Same jersey grabbers and effortless no hopers selected once again HONESTLY please find the exit door coach soon!
