TAPS!

[tiger3]

Taps has been playing pretty well,looks very fit and has scored a few try's now that he is playing his favoured/natural position each week for the Raider's. How do you think he will go against our rejuvinated Tiger's ,especially the young forwards?

 

[Geo]

He'll have a shocker and get hooked after 20…..come back on and play the worst 40min in NRL history...

 

[Doublemint]

He'll make 16 offloads.

 

[Danos]

If Ellis is on the left side again this week, we'll be fine. In fact, I'm tipping Gaz to score his first try, off a Benji pass, through a classic "Taps" missed tackle.

 

[Rare_Tiger]

Wish we still had him. And in keeping him let go: Trimarchi, Galea, Payne, Halatau…

 

[hybrid_tiger]

He will offload at least 20 times.

Hopefully we'll keep him quiet but Taps has certainly shown what he is capable of when used as a wide running backrower this season. Having said that his stats aren't overly impressive apart from his offloads for which he has 58 for the season. He's averaging 83 metres a game which is ok, but that's less than Gibbs who is making almost 100 per game and playing less time than Bronson. He's making 31 tackles per match and missing 2 tackles.

Looking at that, if the Tigers stop his offloads then Bronson will be pretty quiet IMO.

Where's the stat for 'out of position at the ruck, opening up a hole for the dummy half to expose, all the while standing far enough away from the play of the ball so as to not recieve a missed tackle stat'?

I'm tipping Robbie to do well out of dummy half when Bronson is around the ruck.

 

[HappyTiger]

He'll be primed for a big one thats for sure.Hopefully he tries too hard and has a stinker.

i would love this im putting 20 on ellis for 1st try this week he is long overdue

 

[sargent]

The round one game against us he played the best I have ever seen him play. I am really hoping that it doesn't come back to bit us that we let him go. By him scoring the winning try of the game on sunday.

And at $35, that would be a great payout. I have been putting $10 on him the past few weeks and had to laugh when Bowen scored after 45 sec last weekend…..i might as well had dropped $10 on the street.

Ben Galea always did well for me with 1st try scorer when he was with us and always at good odds.

I reckon Gareth will also once he breaks his duck.

Simply because he'll be pumped for a big game, he'll make many runs and offloads, and maybe score or set up a try or two, I made him captain this week in my fantasy team.

He'll probably get me 50 points just in offload!

Go TAPS!! I hope you rip it up. Looking forward to a big game from him.

I think Mr Skandalis will be keeping a very close eye on him during the game :smiling_imp:

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

so taps is your new hero? what happened to collis? :blush:

 

[tiger_tigers]

whilst bronson has been great with the ball in hand ,,,,nothings changed defensively and im certain the boys will expose him all afternoon….

 

[Snowy]

I dont think he has improved since he left us, maybe just utilised a bit better by Canberra imo.
He will make a crucuial error which we will score off to win the game! :smiling_imp:

 

[senexx]

Let's hope so.

From what extremely little I have seen - I would have said he has improved.

He's improved ten-fold, going fantastic at the moment.
