TEAM LIST Round 9 vs Dragons

Team List
Official update just a minor neck injury & Faataape unavailable due to personal reasons.
That's a big out for us. To'a has been solid and has put Turuva away for a bunch of tries. Holmes will be breathing a sigh of relief.

This game looking like a bit of a worry.

This has been To’a’s problem for past couple of seasons, lack of continuity due to injury. Plenty of experience in the outside backs but not huge amounts of pace. Charlie has come from the clouds to get a run, thought he may have been on the way out.
I want to believe we can win but just can’t see it happening.
 
Really bad news injury in Starford Toa out due to a neck injury
He's the one guy that has outplayed Valentine Holmes last few times they have met
Not sure Naden can do the same .As a winger he's ok
Now Naden and Staines on one side
We really need Skelton back
So far we've tried Faataape and Lauliili on his wing spot and both can score tries but can't defend them .
Seems Staines is like a 3rd preference .Faataape out for " personal reasons "
Hate hearing things like this ! Reminds me of the old days
Hopefully its all for innocuous reasons and don't read too much into it !

It'll be Naden next to Turuva on the right and Doueihi next to Staines.

Hopefully Tito screams at Nado to slide out in defence and not fly in all day long
 
I think the ledger still supports us with our halves, pack and a willing bench.

Val still has his sublime moments, but he lacks consistency. Corey and Charlie might cancel each other out on paper, both a boy unknown this season. Whatever they lack in class, they are definately effort players.

A lot has been said about JL this year and hes been solid for many games, but i havent seen him breakout into his uber dominant game yet.
 
Val Homes too much speed for Naden and AD. I can see them bashing us up the middle then swinging it wide and trying to get around us. Hopefully they aren’t on their game. We’ll see what we’re made of after a tough and highly emotional game last week. Question will be can we rise again to the occasion.
 
My God Staines Wests tigers NRL record pretty bad
2023 9 losses 0 wins
2024 18 losses 5 wins
I know the team in total loses these games but !
