I hope we drown out the parra filth, I’ve noticed the tigers supporter bays have sold pretty well

 

[Tiger Tarl]

Still think our edges are a worry.

Agreed. The fact that we're winning games with teenagers filling in and players out of position is great but would still much prefer our starting backline of:

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. To'a
4. May
5. Makasini

We got a glimpse of a May/Makasini left edge in the trials, but are yet to see the true potential just yet. Salivating thinking about it. Or maybe I'm just hungry...

I'd prefer to keep Turuva at centre with and Skelton or Tavana than have Toa back

I was shocked to find out Turuva is still only 23

Love that Benji has Toa coming back through cup. The Tigers of old would have him straight back in even at 80% fit. Good confidence booster for the kids.

I have zero faith in Toa anyway.

Our forwards really stood up last game against a good Warriors pack but how much better would it be if Bunty gets a run instead of Seyfarth even though he's been useful.

That would be an extra handful for the slimeys, come on Benji release another beast.

Honestly think he’s only getting picked atm because he covers edge and middle just in case.

IMO Turuva is not suited in the centres. He’s more of a finisher.

To’a is more creative and enables us to not need to play Laulilli who I don’t really rate. Skelton also had a shocker against Souths.

Yes, that could be his thoughts, but Sione has played a little edge and could be moved there if there's an unlucky injury, well Benji's the coach and he must think his inclusion suits the team and so far it's getting results.

Never liked this idiom but I guess it's relevant, don't fix it if it's not broken, there, forced myself to type it.

I think it is more about opportunity for Taruva in attack as centre at the moment. His defence as a centre was considered to suspect when he was coming into the postion; but has not proven to be the case so far (touch wood). I think we are a better side with a Toa/Taruva combination on that edge but I'm not concerned about us not rushing Toa back in. It will be good to see how he goes in reggies this week - if he gets through unscathed he will stiffen that edge a little more when we play Newcastle.

To’a does love playing Newcastle lol

Yeah, it's great! I've been enjoying the dogs forum lately too. They're like a bunch of incels, just angry at the world.
