TEAM LIST Team List Vs Parramatta (Round 2)

Team List
Twal has one of, if not the best effective tackle ratio in the club. The man is a machine & against Newcastle made good metres busting tackles & even getting off the odd offload.
Yep, I want Twal starting at prop though. There's nothing in his play that means he fits the lock role. I would prefer we had a faster more creative option at lock, we're too slow and clunky. Twal and May at prop with bird and fainu sharing the lock spot.
 
The bloke in the bar guys reckon it’s May that is more our lock and Twal plays the prop your suggesting.
Though it’s funny, Twal actually set up our only try with his offload inside the 20.
Yeah, I just think he's a solid workmanlike prop, but a very limited lock. No passing game or speed or game awareness. There's nothing in that offload that led to the try that is opened up by him playing lock, were essentially playing three props when he's in the 13. Our go forward and defense isn't better when we play three props, so I don't see why we persist with it.
 
I can't remember last time I thought we looked better than the opposition in 10 out of 17 spots.

Scary. Definite loss haha
I was reasonably confident until the weather forecast of 35-36 degrees.

If our tackles don't stick and we have to rely on a scrambling defence then there is no way we can go for the 80 minutes, good chance that we beat ourselves.
 
Bounce Back factor !
Seems 2 teams that got totally thrashed in round 1
Eg Warriors and Roosters bounce back big time vs Manly and Penrith
Another team that got thrashed was Parramatta and in their defence I think the Storm would have put many teams to the sword
Its a Parra home game .So its a little scary !
If we go anywhere near last weeks 50 missed tackles we will be in trouble
I do expect with our spine back together to score a few more tries
Tigers to win 30-18
