Is Saukuru leaving?@kade7

Bit baffling to play him now if so

 

[Telltails]

Of course he is going to use Luai. One minute fans are predicting we will get the spoon the next minute it lets use the last four games to experiment. You cant have it both ways. A coach will always pick his best players because his livelihood depends on it. Like Luai or not he is still in our top 17.

If that's was true AD would be playing lock at the very least .....

What a sh#t show..

We have a guy performing well all year and signs elsewhere next year and we now pick him.. Good luck Solomone Saukuru

Mason should not be anywhere near 1st grade

You have J Andrews who did a decent job in his only game and kills it every week in reserves cannot make the 19.. Madness

Roberts should be on the bench at least as well

Make this make sense

For every person that think he is lock there are those that think he is a centre. He is a ball runner and really hasn't perfected any position.

 

[Bellend]

So happy that Solo got the opportunity but seriously why pick Hope,Mason,Luai all three are not here next season all 3 do not deserve it.

So a 14 I'm good with that also just as long as he doesn't have 7 on his back...

As long as it is a 14 with another club I'm with you 100%

Exciting centre Solomone Saukuru will make his NRL debut following a fine season with the Western Suburbs Magpies where he is the leading tryscorer in the NSW Cup with 20 tries.


Tony Sukkar will start in the second-row with Sione Fainu off the interchange bench.

The Tigers will be looking to end a seven-game losing streak and get revenge on the Dragons from round 18 in their final home game of the season.

Wests Tigers will wear their 2026 Indigenous jersey for this game. Order your jersey here

WHY THE HELL Is HOPE ON THE BENCH AND NOT JOSESE LANYON ? Also Faingaa can play .. give him a gotdam run

 

[Tom Shines]

Wonder if Saukuru might have extended for next year at WT hence being picked in the NRL team ?

 

[StarswithStripes]

Good team with what's available
Just Salomone in for Makasini
2nd time Benji has dropped Makasini maybe he's awake to the fact the kid can't tackle.
Dragons were ok vs Sharks but it was mainly the Sharks were just awful
Weve won 7 games Dragons won 3

We were meant to beat them last game. Rarely do we respond to expectation when we are so called favourites. Maybe if we are not favourites in this game we might pull it off. Hard to believe possible after recent efforts.

Schuuster named in cup

 

[Tom Shines]

Is Jahream going to delay his surgery until after his World Cup obligations ? I’d be definitely sending him after this game …

That has to be one of the strongest halves pairings in all of cup this season

 

[Halbrowne61]

That’s classic Benji for you

Well he had to give Makasini a break, he’s been smashed for weeks!

 

[clokan]

Worst bench ever

You must have a short memory 🙂

 

[Betterdays22]

Bruh people have complained Solo hasn’t had a crack and then complain when he gets one lmfao

People just looking for things to whinge about at this point

 

[king_sirro]

I might go to lidcombe to have a look at Javon first hand and also Schuster.

Also appears Solo may not be lost to us, not yet anyway. Fingers crossed the big fella rises to the challenge of first grade a kills his debut. So much raw talent in him. Not sure if his future is centre, wing or backrow, but could be a handy bench option next year with his versatility and athleticism

Do you have an orange jersey or jacket?
Gets you in for half price

Find it hard to believe Solo is going anywhere given he has been selected. You'd think we wouldn't bother otherwise?

Funnily enough I was listening to Josh Mansour's podcast this week with Marcelo Montoya - he mentioned in passing coming up against Solo in a reserves game, and the contact he had with him that made him feel like his days were numbered.

He said Solo would/should be playing first grade soon.
