and people were saying Benji is actually the one coaching...that bench has Sheens all over it.

Toa has no use on the bench and is a wasted spot, Doueihi and Staines can already cover the entire back line with injury. Blore should be there.

 

[tigeralex]

Just here for the comments lol

 

[ElleryHanley]

ToA 17 is absolutely ridiculous.

Blore has been one of our best defensively.

Should have been starting with Bateman or Matamua at 13.

ToA 17 is Sheens at his best...

 

[TigersFan101]

Good to see matamua getting a go but surprised with blore as 18th

 

[Tiger913]

That’s enough for me to see I’m out for the year, promised myself after last week if brooks doesn’t at least get 1 game in Reggie’s after his start to the year I’m calling it for the year, will never support another team but I’m not gonna frustrate myself every weekend watching him play. Best of luck fellas 👍

I think To’a is there for his versatility he can play anywhere 1-5

 

[WesternSuburbsBoy]

Is Sheens taking the piss with this? seriously Simpkin & To'a on the bench with Blore as 18th man?

 

[Lukic]

What is Sheens problem? Does he think Wakeham is Benji? To'a is Fitzhenry? Does he think its 2011?

 

[ElleryHanley]

I think To’a is there for his versatility he can play anywhere 1-5

Those positions are all covered already...and you could switch a sec row to center if desperate. ToA is absolutely useless.

And a bench of Jake and ToA means 'two' players likely to hardly play at all.

 

[Speed2burn]

That bench … is Simpkin playing prop? 🤣

 

[The Ladies Man]

7. Brooks. 🙄

Well played Tim

 

[diedpretty]

Bateman may drop out - Sheens said he probably shouldn't have played the 2nd half last week. Kepoa to SR and Toa to centre, Blore to bench.

 

[The Ladies Man]

Reckon Bris will be too tired to put 100 on us.
Maybe 50 tho

 

[hobbo1]

The shit show rolls on to a tv screen near you 🤦‍♂️

There is always the possibility Brooks pulls out before the game due to sickness and that way both he and Sheensy save face🤞

44-4 lock it in 🔒

 

[earl]

Rewarding To'a for good performances and giving Matamua a chance.

I expect changes but let's wait and see.

 

[jadtiger]

Sheens has surpassed himself with this weeks selections,he must be after an early payout.Everything i was worried about when he came back to the club is transpiring.

44-4 lock it in 🔒

Two penalty goals?
