17.Simon Dwyer
18.Junior Moors

I really hope that Daniella does not get dropped after that performance tonight. His defence was outstanding and although not given many opportunities we all know he is great in attack. Would much prefer to see Ayshford on the bench because I think that Daniella has really earned his spot.
As for Moors we can all compain about not having four forwards on the bench but at the end of the day we know Sheens is not going to do that, so as this is the likely scenario I would have to leave Moors out of my 17.

Ellis groin injury… definitely out next week....
Sheens admits he has "no depth in the halves" that he is happy with...therefore Lawrence is in there.....
Lui come back...better still Moltz...why didn't he have that surgery that Covell had???

Bad news regarding Gareth.

Moltzen was thinking of his long term future when he opted for the traditional knee reco in comparison to the LARS procedure, there was an article on him last week.

Sheens won't do it, but I'd give Nicholls a shot, he has a cool head on his shoulders and can be the link man for Benji.

[Cat_amp_Fiddle]

Ayshford is the best defensive centre the Wests Tigers have.
Rarely does he miss a tackle. He comes from some very hard core stock.
State Cup is reserve grade. If you don't believe me get out to Henson Park this coming Sunday afternoon.
I'll be the one supporting the Tigers. :sunglasses:

 

[underdog]

again….why would anyone pick ayshford in their starting team.....he really isnt doing anything to warrant a spot in this team

constantly gets over the advantage line, steps around defenders awkwardly consistently makes 10 metres on a hit up.

always looking for an offload - and despite his lassez faire was of carrying the ball, never ever seems to drop it.

haven't ever seen him make a handling error which is RARE for the tigers.

generally solid in defence - Dropped off a dragons player in the 80th minute when Morris scored, but I've seen him punch above his weight countless times.

awkward to tackle because of his lankiness - seems to draw defenders - in fact i don't think i've ever seen him be tackled one on one.

Just a couple of reasons.

The lad is still a young, rising talent - Much like fifita, lui, and dwyer - although he got his start prob a little early due to collis getting injured last year, (think he debuted in that broncos loss at campbelltown last year from memory) but has grabbed his opportunity with both hands.

Except the one on T'eo….tonight....

Watching him celebrate a try made me feel a bit sick....

[Aladinsane]

Keep Daniela in the side. He can hold his head high, one of the best on the park tonight IMO. Didn't see much ball but made some terrific defensive reads..

For Sure Danos….has been a very happy surprise on how well he has improved this season...his defence last night was outstanding

 

[system]

I don't know how anyone can have Dwyer in their side after the last two weeks. He has been absolute rubbish. A plethora of bad reads in defence with missed tackles and alot of just plain stood up and let run by tackles. He made one run worth a pinch of anything.

Daniella made some very good reads and some very poor reads without having much traffic sent his way. If Lui is back he gets the bench spot for mine. Brown should be the winger if Ryan remains out IMO.

Anywho

1\. Wade Mckinnon
2\. Lote Tuquiri
3\. Blake Ayshford
4\. Chris Lawrence
5\. Beau Ryan/Mitch Brown

6\. Benji Marshall
7\. Robert Lui

8\. Bryce Gibbs
9 Robbie Farah
10\. Todd Payten
11\. Junior Moors
12\. Liam Fulton
13\. Chris Heighington

14\. Keith Galloway
15\. Andrew Fifita
16\. David Gower
17\. Geoff Daniella.

Fifita is lucky in the respect we have hardly any props at this point in time because he was pretty bad last night. His laziness around the ruck got punished all the time with quality scoots.

God we miss Ellis & Flanagan as a defensive pairing

 

[Balmain_Bug]

I like Gobbs side.
But Ellis is out and word on the street is that Beau Knows is not ready to come back.
Play a 7 in the 7 jumper. No one else.

Didn't the Fonz say last week that Liu was out for 4 weeks???

Anyway, this is the side ….

[magpiecol]

LOL geo….werent you the one crucifying my thread on farah and marshalls positions being questioned? 6 days later and you drop marshall to the bench?

tell me what ayshford did tonight to warrant his spot in the team...infact tell me ayshford has done all year to warrant a spot in the team?

Could not agree more. There must be some good centres in the lower grades surely. They say that Farah will not play next week, so we need another hooker, and captain (not Benji). Very much doubt if Sheens will pick Fifita in a hurry after his form last night. Titans have a big pack so we need a full bench of forwards, and please no more Fitzhenry.
