TEAM LIST Round 8 vs Raiders

[mtd#2]

Kris is average...whos opposite him....i think Tiny
Could be a good anytime try bet
Cant use my TAB acct here in SE Asia

Kris is like Toa. On his day, he is a world beater.

So why does Bellamy instantly put back in Munster or Hughes whenever they're coming back from injury even tho they'll be winning games? I'd be pretty shocked if any other coach didn't do what Benji did & put Luai straight back into the team I mean Webster did the same thing instantly putting Metcalf back in the side (returning from an ACL injury) did he not?

This was.my first thought when reading rhs post

To follow on from what @IronFist! has stated; we need to look at what is happening around the team as much as what is happening with it. We aren't privvy to the infomation Benji and his staff have - but if you look at what is happening when the team travels you see familiar faces in the background even if they are injured. Toa, Hope, L.L., Tino, Herbert and Madden to name a few. This is all about the culture, bond and team first attitude people speak about (but some possibly don't fully understand)

The FG and KoE squad is being managed in the right manner IMHO. There will be ins and outs, rotations and discussions between Benji, the coaching staff and the leadership team. I'm sure the management decision regarding Makasini and Toa have been discussed at this level and a decision has been made that this is what is best for the team. It is also pretty obvious what benefits Jock brings to the party over AD in the 7; however, Benji and the leadership group think that a power running game brings more to the team, at this point in time, than the organisational skills of Jock.

Benji and his staff have turned the team around in a very short space of time - they have got us very much on the up; and now, after one loss, they no longer understand what is required to win games. Really?

Mate....it happens in 14s etc
We always encouraged the injured kids to come to the games and support their mates
Culture as you say

Given the days of old when players were stopped from travelling with the team (eg Hastings) something has changed. We took extras to NZ, for example.

The good thing is their halfback is a young man who has not been playing all that well. He quite often bottles the last play. The rest of their team have been picking up the slack for him while he finds his feet. Without Hudson Young and Papalii, they are lacking aggression and experience in their pack to protect him. We have to target Sanders and make him feel uncomfortable.

Our halves should have a field day?
Then Madden will never get in until we drop out of the 8.

Looks.like a .full house [10.or so singles left what i can see 🙄 ]

Awesome stuff tigers fans

This is a must win game for us. The three outs that Canberra have (Young, Papa and Sisagi) SEVERELY weaken their team.
Young alone missing makes them incredibly vulnerable.
We need to exploit this advantage and secure a win.
The loss last week was terrible. If we repeat it this week, then we haven’t leaned a bloody thing.
No excuses.

 

[Tony Taco]

Raiders always dangerous and traditionally they always go up a level v WTs. Hoodoo, even.
No excuses with the outs, the standards Benji has set, and the magic of the eighth....
Just get the DUB!

Except Kris has a lot more world beater days than Toa. 🤣

Yeah i dunno....i picture him i can see him skipping outside his opposite and drawing the winger in to put his winger away...thats his strength
Other than that hes pretty meh.

Hell probably get a double.now

Hows the weather in Syd shaping up for tonight?

we had the same last week with Brisbane and how did that go? Our forwards were dominant, but our halves combo let us down.... if the combo fails again, Benji needs to wake up and start adding in Madden in the 7 we can't keep losing with a losing halves combo

Weather forecast says dry night little cloudy not too cold - pretty good for footy really.

I want to see Adam play halfback tonight.

Kick well.

Set up outside men.

No need to run for 150m plus.
