Realistic team list round 1 2018

[earl]

Anyone leaving Aloiai out of the side is doing a huge injustice to the team. He is our best forward. Beast.

I'd have him starting on the right edge for sure.

I'm not sure where to play Aloiai but he has to be one of the first forwards picked.

 

[TYGA]

We have a lot of depth this year it’s clear to see when Cowboys has Scott and Thurston off we were a class above. Our second unit is very good and I wouldn’t be surprised if we win NSW Cup.

My lineup is 1\. Tui 2\. MWZ 3\. Marsters 4\. Milne 5\. Nofa 6\. Reynolds 7\. Brooks 8\. Packer 9\. Liddle 10\. Matulino 11\. Lawrence 12\. ET 13\. Eiso 14\. Twal 15\. Aloai 16\. McQueen 17\. Sue 18\. Marshall

Can't see Lawrence keeping McQueen out of the starting side.

Thought he matched up well against Ethan Lowe last night and he is a player that I would like at WT.

Yep agree Lawrence is the definition of a great club man but surely McQueen pips him for skill at this stage of their careers

McQueen is the better player but coming back from injury I think he is probably eased back in from the bench. He is more versatile and covers plenty of positions.

 

[marzie]

Unsure on a few positions will have to see who plays in next week's trial and how they go

So far

1\. Tui Lolohea
2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Taane Milne
4\. Esan Marsters
5.
6\. Josh Reynolds
7\. Luke Brooks
8\. Russell Packer (if fit)
9.
10\. Ben Matulino (if fit)
11.
12.
13.

14\. JJ Felise
15.
16.
17.

 

[The_Old_Fox]

After losing Brooks to an ankle injury for kicking another ball dead on 5th tackle (cough).here's my round 1 team.

1\. Tui
2.Fonua.
3.Masters.
4.Miline.
5.Nofo.
6.Renyolds.
7,Gamble.
8\. Packer
9.Godinet
10\. Eiso
11.Twai
12 Mc Queen
13\. Taylor.

14\. Matulino
15\. Felise.
16.Aloai.
17\. Marshall ..throw Renyolds into hooker, Marshall in 6 with rotation around Godinet.

18.Lawrence.

 

[Cairnstigers]

I know this is a bit left field but I like the looks of this team
1\. Tui
2.Nofo
3.Masters.
4.Miline.
5.Thompson (If he can handle left wing) or MWZ
6.Reynolds.
7,Gamble
8\. Packer
9.Brooks (UNTIL Liddle is ready)
10\. Matalino
11.Eisenhuth
12 Mc Queen
13\. Taylor.

14\. Twal
15\. Aloai
16\. Felise or sue or Grant
17\. Marshall or Fonua
Fonua's fitness won't last 40min so an impact bench player only at best

Imagine a team with
Tui Reynolds Brooks Gamble and Marshall
I think there would be a lot of play options and keep the opposition guessing all game

 

[Tacky]

1\. Lolohea
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Marsters
4\. Milne
5\. MWZ

6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks

8\. Packer
9\. Mcilwrick
10\. Matulino
11\. Lawrence
12\. McQueen
13\. Taylor

14\. Marshall
15\. Felise
16\. Aloiai
17\. Twal

Taylor to fill in at hooker while Mcilwrick is off and Aloiai to come in at lock. Marshall to come into the halves if Brooks or Reynolds are off their game.

Eiso and Grant are unlucky to miss out but I believe this is the best team we have.

 

[Cairnstigers]

One thing is for sure
If we forum contributors come up with so many possible team combinations for the 1st round it will no doubt give Ivan a sleepless night or two
It is exciting to have a team where we all push each other to be at our best
Those that don't perform this year could well be on the chopping block come the end of the year while we look for upgrades
Do your best guys (players)
Make us proud

 

[newtiger]

1\. Lolohea
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Marsters
4\. Milne
5\. MWZ

6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks

8\. Packer
9\. Mcilwrick
10\. Matulino
11\. Lawrence
12\. McQueen
13\. Taylor

14\. Marshall
15\. Felise
16\. Aloiai
17\. Twal

Taylor to fill in at hooker while Mcilwrick is off and Aloiai to come in at lock. Marshall to come into the halves if Brooks or Reynolds are off their game.

Eiso and Grant are unlucky to miss out but I believe this is the best team we have.

This is about the best team picked so far, I think Grub will go the DH and Benji to 5/8 to rest MM.
It’s a good headache for Ivan to have leavin Eiso and Grant out.

 

[Tiger_Watto]

I'd prefer to wait until we see everyone get a run, but I get the feeling the following will be there:

1\. Lolohea
2\. [MWZ or Thompson]
3\. Naiqama
4\. Marsters
5\. Nofoaluma
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks
8\. [either Packer, Twal or Matulino]
9\. [id suggest ET will start here]
10\. [either Packer, Twal or Matulino]
11\. Lawrence
12\. Aloiai
13\. Eisenhurth

Who’s on your bench?

 

[The_Patriot]

Cleary will link Milne and Nofoaluma on one side then on the other play Marsters and Fonua together.

Just need to see Fonua get his fitness up and that will be our backline id say. The combinations looked right in the first trial. Suited each other.

I reckon that is very very close to the team that will run out round 1

Very realistic. .

Marsters is the back up goal kicker…

 

[TCL]

Not sure on his defence but, what about Thompson as a 9 option/back up?

I watched reply's of the game and saw him at dummy half (looked like him on the iPod screen)a couple of times and he looked good. He has the speed and footwork that would cause defensive lines problems and even create doubt so they don't shift early leaving no room for our halves to play.

I'm not an advocate of moving player positions and this may sound a bit Sheensish, but McIlwrick is a tad vanilla in skill and has defensive misses (yes only a trial but missed a tackle that lead to a try). Liddle is injured and I'm still not sure on how his body is going to handle a full season in 1st grade.

i know reports are he is killing it at training but most of us have others starting ahead of him in the back line. His body shape is right for hooker as well.

Just a thought.

**HUSH, HUSH**

Which half and his coach are at loggerheads over team selections?

This player wants to swap a member of their spine with a rookie as they’ve struck up quite the combination at training but the coach won’t budge.

[Geo]

Obviuosly Croft wants Cammy gone for the younger Smith…

 

[Tiger_Watto]

1\. Lolohea

9\. [id suggest ET will start here]
10\. [either Packer, Twal or Matulino]
11\. Lawrence
12\. Aloiai
13\. Eisenhurth

Who’s on your bench?

Cant pick a bench until you choose a starting 13, but obviously one of Packer, Twal or Matulino will be there.

 

[wt01]

My team

1\. Lolo
2\. Nofo
3\. Masters
4\. Milne/Fonua

7\. Brooks

13\. Huth (cant leave out)

14\. Marshall
15\. Packer
16\. Aloiai
17\. Mcqueen/Rochow

18\. Mcqueen/ Rochow

Mcqueen/ Rochow to 12 -> ET to hooker
aloiai and packer in prop rotation

thoughts??

Who are we thinking? To do with Moses? Robbie? Cleary Junior? Couldn't be a current Tigers player, as Brooks is our half and arguably of our spine he's on the most shaky ground of all.

 

[JD Tiger]

My team

1\. Lolo

14\. Marshall
15\. Packer
16\. Aloiai
17\. Mcqueen/Rochow

18\. Mcqueen/ Rochow

Mcqueen/ Rochow to 12 -ET to hooker
aloiai and packer in prop rotation

thoughts??

Pretty much my thoughts as well. Fonua then Kev for first and second replacements in the backs come injury or terrible form.

I'd like another prop on the bench though. Either a Sue/ Grant/ Felise, but I don't know who to leave out??

Cooper Cronk as he stated that he missed the Storm magic.
