Satisfaction

[magpie_mania]

i am very happy with the way wests tigers have performed this year given all the obstacles everyone has mentioned.

Let's look at the positives;

mitch brown - has played a number of positions and has never let us down. Imagine an offseason and a permanent full back role next year. This guy has size and strength just needs more belief in his ability and learn to chime in more.

Lote - still an outstanding player and a crowd favourite. Outpacing dugan showed he still has pace.

Ayshford - come on leaps and bounds this year. Needs a decent winger outside him as he breaks the line. I believe he will be moved into the forwards.

Marshall - played every game and at times unstoppable. Rate him with mortimer, daley , kenny and phil blake as some of the games best entertainers.

Gibbs - has finally stood up this year and his defence is first class.

Ellis - super star. Best buy ever

galloway - if he can string together a few games he has the size and strength to be a first class prop. State of origin next year.

Lawrence - all class and another one to play state of origin.

Payten - the heart and soul of our defence

fulton - what a comeback. His defence is incredible and runs good lines in attack. Another 5 kilos to the frame would be good.

Heighington - always gives 100%. Great he resigned for a couple more years. He would be my captain.

Farah - what a great player.

The big bonuses has been the development of lui, dwyer (like to see him run out wider), fifita (needs to improve his defence but his size and strength), moors (surprised he did not play more nrl) and daniela (hasn't his defence improved). They can only get better next year with the experience they have gained.

Then we have ben murdoch (future super star), sean meaney, latu (to replace ryan next year if tt is still out), aaron woods, jake mullaney coming through.

Hopefully moltzen (to play half back with his combination with marshall) and tt (missed the big fella) will be back next year and fitzhenry will retire and beau ryan knows state cup.

This year accept for the souths game i believe our team his given our all in each match hence the reason we won close games this year. Folkes has given our team the ability to win the close ones with our fitness.

Still would like sheens to use the whole bench and not carry a back. Fulton, ellis and dwyer can all cover the back line.

To beat st chockers we need to ambush them in the first half and put points on the board.

Bring on saturday night then next sunday. 2011 is shaping up to be another great year.

an ambush to the level of what newcastle did to the heavily favoured parra in the 2001 grand final 24 nil halftime would be good i was there with about 10 parra supporters and they were all spewing.
