OFFICIAL Simon Dwyer [Discussion]

Great game,he looked very good tonight,lucky we have him locked up,because plenty of people will notice him now.
 
Simon Dwyer & Aaron Woods will play plenty of games for Australia, we must keep these two as Wests Tigers for life.
Dwyer a genuine Magpie junior & Woods a genuine Balmain junior, they are both very important to the future of the Wests Tigers.
 
To all the knockers a few weeks back calling for Simons head EAT HUMBLE PIE. you dont turn your back on talent you nuture it and bring it on slowly. Well done Simon and well done Sheensy. Keep up the effort you will make it big time!!!
 
He did play well last night, Galloway should be partnering Snowden in the front row IMO but I'm not sure Farah has done enough to earn a recall despite Fittler calling for him to be re-instated, I think Stuart will go for the grub.
 
Some stats for the Tigers out of last night's game:

Heighno played 49 minutes and made 69 metres in attack off 13 hitups, 22 tackles and 1 offload;
Moltzen played 21 minutes and made 17 metres in attack;

Farah made 64 metres in attack, 48 tackles (match high), 2 offloads;
Galloway made 90 metres in attack from 10 hitups and made 37 tackles;
Dwyer made 59 metres off 8 hitups, 1 try, 1 linebreak, 4 tackle breaks and 26 tackles; and
Fulton made 19 metres in attack and 38 tackles.
 
Dywer,Farah,Galloway all in the nsw side to be pick Tuesday week !! Dwyer bench n Farah and Galloway starting up front !! They all will go on the England Tour at end of season with the Roos aswell I must add … Woods will be the Bolter then in that side!!

From last night
Farah - Played the perfect trial for Origin in my opinion - tackled lots and well, passed sweetly , directed his side to the right positions and a great captains knock - should definatly be starting hooker

Galloway - Really impressed last night and should definatly be in Origin starting with Snowden

Dwyer - Wow this kid is a star of the future for not just the tigers but NSW - was the best backrower on the field last night just always looked dangerous and was solid in defence

Fulton- Did a lot of defence but missed a few tackles and didnt make many meters or get enough of the ball but was ok

Hieghington - Was solid as always I think unfortunatly for Chris he just isnt quite at the Origin level - a poor mans Paul Gallen unfortunatly (but as Gallen is the best forward in the comp its still a wrap)

Moltzen - Only got 20 minutes but did a couple of impressive things actually looking sharp. Unfortunatly for the Tigers his best position is 5/8 and until he goes to a club where he plays 5/8 he wont be at his best - when he does I think he might well play for NSW
 
Farah, Galloway and Dwyer were our 3 best tigers IMO and have a great chance of making NSW. Heighington didn't do much in attack, but he had good enough defense. Moltzen was awful, horrible passes and just ran at the line all game. Fulton did a lot of defense, but was missing in attack.

Farah was great. Good service, smart running and knew when to kick the ball. His defense was great too. Dwyer is a bolter. He runs great lines and made a fair few tackles, he is the future. Galloway carried defenders for 5 metres every time he touched the ball and got through a workload.
 
I thought galloway was awesome. He took plenty of defenders with him in attack and made some telling tackles too.

Geez I hope your summation is right..would be great to have Sauce and Farah in the starting line-up with Dwyer on the bench…wow
 
The media is talking up Dwyer so he is prob in the side, IMO I think he is a season away though. Anyway if any tigers make SOO I will be happy to have someone to cheer…...for a change.

Interesting listening to the commentators of this game last night, I didn't hear them wrap Farah once, they were happy to talk up the country hooker in fact they didn't wrap any of the tigers players much at all except for Simon when he scored his try and they had no choice. Stuart is obviously a SOO selector don't know who the others are except I believe Daley stood down, I hope they don't take too much notice of the so called experts and commentators, bit of sour grapes I'd suggest especially from Hindmarsh.
 
Last year we had the great situation of Gareth Ellis running that great angled run at the line from 15m odd out.

With his demise due to injury that seemed to have disappeared from the WT's armoury but the rise of Simon Dwyer seems to have resurrected it.

Dwyer, mostly known for his big hit on Wharea-Hargraves, seems to have added some offence to his game.

He has run the line with both pace and power from that distance out making it extremely hard for the defence to cope with him and subsequently has scored several tries.

This has resulted in his profile being raised as I noted on this mornings Sunday Footy show, when all the hosts had favourable things to say about him.

This great for him and the club who will benefit from his skill but will pay for it down the track in added costs and greater difficulty in retaining our good young players.

What a good problem to have !

And how many people were writing him off a month ago (Me included) Time to remove my size 12 from my big mouth again
 
Be interesting to see what happens when everyone is fit - will the starting back row include Hieghington, Ellis and Dwyer perhaps or will he revert back to the bench with Fulton starting

I think it'd be a very week-to-week decision.

ie if we need to start the game strong defensively I'd have Fulton start, if the plan is to go out and try and put points on early I'd start Dwyer
 
Dwyer running those lines on the right and Ellis on the left….DEADLY!

add to that later in the season, when Lawrence runs his lines or runs with pace around the outside backs, or Benji's cut out pass to flying Lote.

Or maybe Farah going short from the line to a charging Woods or Galloway.

Or maybe Farah kicking it in the corner for Lote.

Or maybe Benji doing his awkward grubber kicks for Utai to pounce on..

Fully fit, Tigers will be UNSTOPPABLE close to the line.

As for Dwyer, he needs to keep running hard and at that angle, he will break the line or break the tackle to offload for Mckinnon.
