TEAM LIST Round 18 vs. Storm

[Greek tiger]

I reckon we have a decent chance this week storm have quite a few players out and we are playing at Leichhardt which gives the players a boost so I can see us pulling off an upset honestly

 

[Newtown]

Surely rush Hughes, compete on everything and we are in this game.

Much easier said than done.

 

[Greek tiger]

I hope in the next coming weeks we can get Solomon Alaimalo back in the team we really need his height right now I would swap him for Faataape switching luke laulilii to the centres which I think he is better suited there well at least for now at his career

 

[Greek tiger]

does anyone know when olam and tupou are coming back?

 

[Jolls]

Rush Hughes and he will make you look like a mug. Pressure him sure - but the entire line needs to be quick to provide that effect. Get off to a fast start, control the ball and ride the crowd we are a maybe. Get into a grind and they will pick us apart.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

is that what the X-Rays are telling you Doctor ?

I read somewhere there is a consideration for either surgery or just management.

Olam injury concern adds to Wests Tigers' worries

A longstanding knee injury to centre Justin Olam is the latest headache for the Wests Tigers to soothe as the struggling club attempts to hold on to young playmaker Lachlan Galvin.Olam was on light du...

In Bateman we trust. Big Johnny will get is home

Didn’t know he had an Uber gig on he side

 

[boonboon]

Not super quick, but can set people up around him. Just need fast wingers in the right place.
Olam has been below par of late. Not dominating in attack or defence.
I assume the knee ain't quite right?

Olam scored 2 tries, made 131 meters in his last game - assume your talking about the matches he didn't play ?

 

[Halbrowne61]

Upset on the cards this weekend.

Not sure about an upset but thinking it’ll be a bit more competitive, especially at LO.

Just send Olam in for clean-up surgery rather than this whole week-by-week management thing. I'd rather have him back for pre-season then have this continue into next season.

Maybe they're waiting until it's not mathematically possible to make the 8 ...

Stephanie needs to be on the bench Pole should start.

Pole is starting

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

No Grant, Munster, Coates for Melbourne.

Hopefully its a monster battle

I love this club so I’m going again Tigers by 8
I don’t care if anyone is negative to this , I just want my team to win and any win is good at present , let’s all get behind these guys the team is ok , not star studded but good enough to do the job , again the way to win is simple
kick off and then smash them in all tackles , wrapp the ball carrier up so no sneaky passes , hit hard every time .
run with venom .
kick to the corners and send lots of guys forward to hem them in to there own try line corner , make them work extra hard to get out ,
kick on early tackles and turn them around all night .
if all fails , enjoy your beers and pies at the ground to all who are going ,
we can do it , upset of the round yes sir

That happened in round 1

 

[Tiger_Yoshi]

Solomon Alaimalo Is not a first grader …no power in his runs, no urgency in his actions….

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

That try where Naden just didn’t move up in the line could be career ending. Talk about mailing it in.

He has had what I thought career ending moments and then a week later he plays for 2 weeks and snaps again. Hopefully this is the last time.
