TEAM LIST Round 8 vs Raiders

[rihannafan1]

Ok a backline of Laurie/Tamale, Kris, Timoko, Stuart is average. Weekes is great, Strange and Sanders quite good but v young as a halves pairing.

Luck, our errors late and Adam Reynolds got the Broncos home last week. Who is their Reynolds gonna be?

 

[EllisFan]

Of course he does. But that time is not right now.

And for the record, on face value I think Madden could be the 7 in this team. He so far has shown he plays direct, straightens the attack, and has a great kicking game. But it's easy for you and I to write him in at 7, move around the chess pieces basing it on our lounge-chair opinions. We haven't been the ones working with the players and team, had the countless individual discussions and team meetings over the past 6 months laying out the plan and attempting to gain player and squad buy-in to the overall cause.

I'm playing devil's advocate, knowing how these environments operate. Benji can't bin it all without properly giving it a go. The loss of trust among the senior players would be irrecoverable, and his leadership credentials of flipping because of a little outside chatter would take a beating.

Yeah points well made.

I wasn’t surprised or upset that he stuck with AD this week.

I’ll say though, he finished the Broncos game with Madden at 7, so I don’t think he’s a million miles away from pulling the trigger.

We are all entitled to our own opinions, I just don't agree with yours 🙂

Absolutely. I think the attack has been patchy at best but hold no weight for the argument that selections have been made to appease egos. Jock has delivered BM with an option that certainly puts Douehi and Luai on notice and that can only be a good thing.

Herbert went for that intercept twice, we were lucky in one occasion as the pass was called forward that stopped a try.
Toa will go ok

I hope so. From what I've seen of him i think we get more value out of Herbert. We come in from the edges i don't think he had much choice on both counts. Look at thr Reynolds kick try

The 5 day turn around I was Shaw we would beat the Broncos and run out of gas against Canberra I hope they are refreshed it's hard 5 days hopefully the crowd gets the boys home

Canberra always dangerous , we need to be on our game and if we get away from them early we need to drill them not just cruise and they catch up or put on 12*18 points in last 15 , we need to put serious points on them and show we are still going well

Anyone know if it’s okay to offer use of members tickets to Leichhardt sold out game on here? Not sure what’s a fair price? The club offers $30 if I return them for resale.

I’ve got the flu so only need 2 of my five gold members tickets.

Ill PM you

I was all over canberra 2 weeks ago, given the outs in the forwards pack, they are a different team no hudson young or papali. Makes the forwards there for the taking by the tigers.
tigers are specials

He didn’t "work" at all.

He is easily one of the two best centres at the club when fit.

They've been winning.... just.

Kaeo is dangerous but they aren't playing to their potential.

Assuming Ricky will have em fired up for it but this is another must win for us, much like last week. Need to win and keep the season alive.

Not an easy ask.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

For some reason I thought he was injured.

He is injured … just sometimes he is
Less injured

 

[TYGA]

We got special dispensation to play Tino with May, Toa & Skelton at the time all out .

I think we can't play him again until R11??

IDK I don't know what the rules are now our outside backs have returned from injury.

Makes sense tbh but they need to scrap those rules. Hardly enough depth across the competition.
