TEAM LIST Round 8 vs Raiders

[hammertime]

Sticking to his standards. I like it.

Maka was lucky to get away with it last week as he was the one calling for the ball of skelton.

 

[Tigerdazz2]

I really like Toa but I'd put him at 3rd now we have May.

I'd like to see Turuva come on as centre when Tino is eligible again, with Lullili'i , Herbert, Skelton or if playing with consistent confidence, Makasini on the other wing, whoever is in best form.

 

[lathami]

He did play poorly in reserve grade, both games

He was ok in his returning game against para, good late offload fir a try.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

really like the dropping of latu fainu
AD can play that ball playing 13 role allowing Madden to come on and play some 7

 

[orange&black]

Latu in Reserves is simply about playing Raiders this week. They have a big strong pack who have absolutely dominated us for years so we can’t carry 2 halves on the bench.
If we don’t win the battle at the ruck and in the middle their backs will have too much room and prove too fast for us. We need to win field position and possession and score points when we get our chances.

Seyfarth finally gets some sponsorship love

If toa is fit he is our 2nd best centre.

If he To'a it not up to NRL level-----hook him.
Doueihi to centre and Madden the half we desperately needed.

 

[lathami]

Good to see Starford back. If he's actually healthy, he will go a long way to fixing our offensive woes.

Makasini out for Lualii is interesting. Probably for the best he has a week or two off.

Oh wow didn't notice Latu being dropped. Not a huge fan of that. He's too talented to not be in the 19.

I’d have Skelton back over Luke, he’s definitely leaving. Use your time on potential players in my opinion. Unless they’re great players.

I really like Toa but I'd put him at 3rd now we have May.

Maybe putting him in the shop window

 

[Milky]

Ugh

 

[oxycon]

Disappointed to see Latu dropped this kid is so talented and our future, as for Maka good call he needs a rest Toa worries me I hope he aims up in D as the Faiders have some big powerful backs and I am sure they will be running some traffic his way.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Disappointed on consecutive Tuesdays.

 

[Odessa]

Surely Latu plays. He looked great last week

The other week he was named in the extra reserves and played wait till tomorrow when they cut the squad down maybe he makes it or maybe he has a niggle

 

[lathami]

Sticking to his standards. I like it.

Maka was lucky to get away with it last week as he was the one calling for the ball of skelton.

If we were truly sticking to the standards Luai would be on the bench. But do agree with it overall

 

[TigerBurnsy]

Harsh call on both Makasini and Latu

Latu should be there over hope

 

[hank37w]

Oh no, Toa’s back for half a game !

Probably stub his toa running out before the kick off.

That is if he makes it through the warm up. 🤣

 

[TigerBurnsy]

I'm very surprised to see To'a back. I didn't watch it, but I swear people said he played poorly in reserves and only managed half a game before limping off?

He literally cannot finish a game, I wonder if his diet is off or he’s drinking too much because with how fit the rest of the players are he shouldn’t be getting injured this much

 

[Tigerdave]

Just not sure, not much confidence in the halves in the opposition 20. Hopefully the the guys can prove me wrong.

 

[Curly_Tiger]

Most dangerous name on the team lists for this match up isn’t wearing the lime green
- Ashley Klein 🤡

 

[tig_prmz]

Very surprised to see Toa ahead of Herbert.

Has he played Cup this year? How did he go if he did?

I like the call with Makasini. I hope the communication with him was good though. You might start seeing articles like Makasini was made scapegoat etc..

I don't mind the Latu call either.

I still feel Madden should start ahead of either AD or JL, but it's a tough decision, not right or wrong.

Another pressure game, are we favourites again?
