TEAM LIST Round 18 v Roosters

[Suzie-Q]

Wests Tigers Head Coach Benji Marshall has named a 22-man squad to face the Roosters at Allianz Stadium this Sunday afternoon.

Heath Mason's suspension sees Sunia Turuva shift to fullback, with Charlie Staines set to make his return to the side on the wing.

Api Koroisau's concussion means Adam Doueihi will line up at five-eighth and Luke Laulilii is elevated to the starting team at centre.

Tristan Hope and Charlie Murray are both set to make their second NRL appearances, with Hope to start at hooker and Murray an inclusion on the interchange bench.

Alex Twal skippers the side in the absence of Jarome Luai and Api Koroisau.

No easy games for the Tigers.

Fire up lads.

Congrats Alex Twal on being anointed with the Captain's armband. Reward for a Club man who always gives his best.

Tough game and week hopefully they fight hard as usual and don't get blown out for their and our sakes

 

[hsvjones]

About as best as we would name TBH..

Hope Turuva kills it so Mason doesn't come back in next week as he needs time in cup to develop his game. .

I do like AD and Latu in the halves

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Ouch. At least Luke at center won’t be taking bombs. Best team can name given everything.

Just want to see effort, limited errors and penalties then we might limit the damage somewhat.

 

[Tucker]

This is the worst side we’ve named in quite a while.
Hopefully we can use this against Roosters who will surely take the field assuming tries will come easily.
Has all the look of another 70 point flogging.
Fight hard boys and disrupt them.

Optimistic, did you leave off a zero?

I wonder what the biggest ever first grade loss is?

Team list Tuesday sucks again

After the first 9 rounds I thought we were past the "hope we don't lose by too many" mentality. It's back. As a WT masochist I will lap up every minute no matter how embarrassing.

It’s not good enough.
Management has let a lot of talent walk away over the past 12 months and we have to deal with that right now.

 

[Buttface]

Obviously we hold the NRL record, but google gave me this to make me feel less bland about this game.
St George Dragons defeat Canterbury Bulldogs 91-6 (1935)

You can’t get away with “waiting till something falls from the tree”. That kind of recruitment philosophy is not sustainable.

gough ref bunker gee

 

[hsvjones]

No Badger ... Oh My God that should save us like 12 pts..

Poor Tigers Ladies team cop her this week.

 

[Jimmy]

Gone are the days of Dias, smith and wakeham now we Murray and hope….no offence to those boys but this 17 is disgraceful for a team with only one player in origin

Roosters always seem to use us to build some confidence in their attack. I am hopeful but fearful in this one.

Ironic we have a Hope in our side, cos we don’t have any when it comes to winning this game.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

People are forgetting that the Roosters are missing 8 regular starters. While their backline is close to full strength, their pack is KOE standard. I reckon we'll dominate the middle and win comfortably.
