He needs that.
I really like Brooks, very fast and skilled but he isn't the 1 million dollar player.

Laurie isn't bad under the high ball
AD played well against a side that played like schoolboys. The test will come when he gets targeted by the good sides. Both AD and Brooks both need to perform against the better sides, this trial is no true indication of future success. We are still missing strike players, that are needed against the best. The side shows great promise, but that has to be proven over time.

Depending on Nofoaluma’s form I would possibly put Staines or To’a on his side to replace him & eventually swap Bateman & Blore. The only other change after Round 10 would be Aitasi James on the bench for Twal he offers so much more impact off the bench.

I think that is a role that suits Brooks. He should be a role player. He has a good all round game.

100% correct. One game doesn't count. AD especially needs to perform consistently througout games and throughout the season.
I view Brooks as doing what Brooks does which isn't bad but it's also not great. We need Doueihi to provide the class.
I don’t think Ken plays again for tigers. Unlucky with injury but we have to build for the future and Tupou has won his position. We have to reward performance albeit a trial game.
Yes agree. They all drop one occasionally but over all found him consistently safe.
I'd be surprised if Staines beats Laurie to the 1 based on game time yesterday, also surprised if Tupou beats Staines to the wing vacancy
feel sorry for ken, but if its a bad injury he could be done
Ur kidding , u want to replace nofa he played really well yesterday, this hate for him has to stop
Without getting too carried away after a trial where Canberra were significantly weakened in the second half Douehi showed what he is capable of when the team gets into the grind, and they all responded. After a shaky start bounced back and played a real leaders role. Got errors in his game but with Benji coaching got to expect that he will be forgiven for those if he backs himself and gets results.

But in all reality Staines and Talau could easily be in the 17, no Bateman because he isn't here yet, probably pushes Blore to the bench. Kepaoa covers centre and 2nd row from the bench, Talau could maybe do the same but Kep was good yesterday. I think Toa is still the best centre of the 3 of them atm but that's likely to change as the season progresses.

I really Hope The Tigers put out their absolute Strongest /Most experienced side.
The first three games are very Winnable.

Personally storm haven’t impressed me over the last 2 weeks and I’d consider that a winnable game, only trial weeks tho so could change

Very surprised nobody has klem in the no. 13 as he clearly played as one yesterday.

Paps out for an extended break and no cameo from cheese any more will bring them back a bit.

Utoikamanu was captain yesterday? When Koroisau returns he should be VC imo.
Klem Is our enforcer, I like the fact that he can promote the ball, However I think he is here to put fear in the opposition.
