No surpises there....I'm liking the stability!

KPP 50th NRL game on Sunday

 

[hank37w]

Let's prove that we have turned the corner and get up to win a landmark game for one of our player.

Hope KPP scores a hat trick against his old club and prove that they were useless and that at least we appreciate him, know what we have in him and allow him to play to his ability.

Did anyone see how To'a went in Cup yesterday? I'm not really liking Turuva at centre to be honest. Surprised not to see To'a in the 22

 

[old_man_tiger]

I would tweak the backline a little. Maka not getting enough space at centre.

Kudos to the kid for making defensive adjustments on the fly in FG, in no way trying to be critical. Just want to see him unleashed with a full head of steam

 

[prattenhero]

To'a was very average..Herbert was the better of the centers

Can we all chip in and get Seyfarth a sponsor please.

The Knights’ season has mirrored ours in many ways. They’ve lost experienced players, but they’re still showing plenty of heart. They’ll turn up ready to compete, so we’ll need to be at our best.


With Best, Brown and Ponga all unavailable - three players who have often caused the Tigers problems -this is a genuine opportunity. If we bring the same intensity we’ve shown in recent weeks, this is a game there for the taking.


Looking at the bigger picture...not only is there the chance to secure that elusive third straight win, but we then face a Broncos side likely to be without Reynolds, Walsh and Hunt. There is a real opportunity to turn the coming weeks into a strong winning run. In a competition where Storm and Roosters and Broncos currently don't have the top spot secure - we can use it to strengthen our spot in that top 4.

I have asked the club for the costs but have heard nothng but crickets so far.

 

[Savvy]

Benji needs to unlock Bula…. He is not the attacking weapon he should be.

Pole's been less than impressive for a long time. Not sure why he's a walk up start. Sione's earnt a start, I reckon. Give Pole a stint as a benchie. Might show us if he really wants to improve.

If you saw Toa play yesterday you would not want him anywhere near the NRL side

Benji or Bula himself...the onus is on the player to be a student of the game and be in the right place at the right time in attack.....great fullbacks also play a link role which I have yet to see this consistently from Bula

He has been good this year, plays an excellent cameo role, just when we need it

 

[happy_tiger]

Wonder how Tavanas hamstring issue is ......expect changes possibly ??

I reckon this time at centre has probably accelerated his development a lot. He could be cruising on the wing but is learning some tough lessons and quickly making adjustments. I hope Benji is encouraging him to stay at centre and keep growing as a player more quickly.

I don’t think it’s about who’s better, more about the combination of Terrell with Pole and Sione with Royce.

Terrell and Pole usually play the first 25mins then are both a switched for Royce and Sione. Royce and Pole are too similar to be on at the same time and also the least reliable middle defenders of the 4.

Basically, Pole needs to be along side Terrell for defensive reasons, game style and balance of strengths and weaknesses of the 4 man prop rotation.

Pole’s best performance in a while yesterday. Got us going forward when we looked a bit beaten in the middle early.
