Team to face the Raiders

[Snake]

Tommy T for Jennings Or Thomo if he still at the club
Musgrove for Seyfarth
Would be probably the only likely changes

Wow that's going to change things!

You seem to think we have a bunch of terrific players waiting in the wings to take over. There are very few changes you can really make, we have a couple forwards you could play but the rest are other over the hill blokes about to retire or guys who have never played first grade.

If we keep going crap I’m happy to make mass changes and give a lot of other guys a shot but at this point it’s not the right time yet I think. The bench definitely needs changing and Jennings dropped but what else can you do? What changes would you make?

Isn't Jennings tall, reliable, safe under the high ball and makes a 100m+ a game...?

Do you add anything of significance to this forum or just chime in with smart ass comments. Never seen you add anything of substance in any threads.

Jennings was good last week and didn’t deserve to get dropped. This week he had a shocker and shouldn’t play next week - but I don’t believe Cory Thompson does that much better

lol..don't be upset...debate the post..

So we drop on a week to week basis ..that will work building consistancy..

Titans coach drops what 4 players regardless of experience .. was there a result ? He will stick with those options.
Reynolds needs to be brought into the half halves Brooks can please himself ! This team is going nowhere with him at half , Maguire has no option but make at least 5 changes .

Don't think he will..

Maybe that’s the problem right there.

Brooks is on his fourth coach. Each and every one of them has shown faith in him but he continues to show the same limitations and has not significantly improved.

At the moment he knows he will be picked regardless of how he plays. This needs to change or nothing else will.

Its not all Brooks' fault...Our D was appalling and Benji is just as hot and cold....

I don't know why, after all these years of the highs and lows of being a diehard WT member and fan, but last night's defeat by the Titans is really affecting me. I think it's the lowest of all lows I'm feeling at the moment. I can usually dismiss it pretty quickly and get over the ridiculous decisions and plays that get us beaten, but, seriosuly .....leading by 12 and then 10 with the game seemingly under control, we manage to lose in the last minute of play ....?!?! I'm going to need a running jump and a mini-tramp to be any chance of getting back on this horse, I can tell ya.

Well everyone talked about it happening, ad nauseum, before it actually happened so it did!

Lets be honest next week against raiders is a big L. Dont see us coming out of it with the W, netherless heres my team:
1. Doueihi (Has been Solid last 2 games)
2. Nofo ( Top try scorer but his defence is average)
3. BJ (can't defend to save his life, but attack is good)
4. Mbye (Only just makes the team he is that bad)
5. Taulau / Bradley / Thompson ( Literally anyone, if I see jennings in that squad on tuesday I will officially be a roosters fan.)
6. Benji ( had a ordinary game against titans)
7. Brooks ( finds it impossible to kick a ball through the line )
8. Aloiai ( decent forward I guess)
9. Grant (stand out for us against titans)
10. Packer (Im personally not a fan but Forwards need a leader I reckon)
11. Garner (Been pretty quiet but better then lawrence and chee kam)
12. leilua (Solid player, average in both attack and defence)
13. Twal ( our best forward, defence machine)
14. Chee Kam ( Better then Lawrence, hopefully gives us another last minute winner)
15. Mikeale ( More impact coming off the bench then starting I reckon, Maybe swap him and Aloiai cause he will be strong of the bench)
16.Musgrove ( Gives us that punch of the bench which we will need, cause as soon as aloiai and mikeale came off Clark and seyfarth gave nothing in attack.)
17. Taylor (Need a defensive forward on the bench and he's better then clark.)

No shade on walters but I think Grant needs to play the full 80.

Let’s be honest, we’re not going to see any extreme changes. The spine will remain the same. Jennings might go, but that’s it I think.

Doing the same thing over again and again and expecting different results. It’s THE definition...

X1000, but we will keep trying that theory, why I don't know, our halves must have some serious dirt on the club, they can play as bad as they like, and still get picked on Tuesday, no accountability, no finals footy, that's how we roll

Yes true Benji can be hot and cold also, but he is over 30 and at the back end of his career. He has still won more games for us than Brooks has had hot dinners and some of those were only just last season! I think I can recall 1 game where Brooks was the match winner in his ‘illustrious’ career with us.

 

[851]

Won’t happen but I’d pick

1 Mbye
2 Nofa
3 BJ
4 Talau
5 Thompson
6 Doueihi
7 Benji
8 Mikaele
9 Grant
10 Aloiai
11 Luci
12 Garner
13 Twal
14 Packer
15 Walters
16 MCK
17 Clarke
18 Eisenhuth
19 Taylor
20 Musgrove
21 Lawrence

I would put Walters in for Benji and Musgrove on the bench, that would be a good start

We have kept going crap, 2 of our last 3 games have been diabolical, and the game we won last week had large chunks of very ordinary play, enough is enough

True but Benji was brought back to the club to fill a utility bench slot. His second spell has already exceeded expectations and he is now the dominant half.

That should tell you everything you need to know about Brooks.

That's not a bad option either. Couldn't think of who could replace Brooks. Thought Madden but nah. Walters I didn't think of and would be worth a try. Musgrove on the bench then makes the bench really big and tough.

The team game is built on defence. You build your confidence from it and our team turns to water when our defence is soft. Each time the opposition turns its attention to our right side defence, it is as though we will concede because there is no self belief in the players there to defend nor do their team mates elsewhere have confidence in their ability to defend.

It’s been that way for 10 years. A little bit of adversity and we just get rolled over and give up.

Maguire has been working on changing the defence at training..he will be hard at work this week coming up with a plan to stop the Raiders..

The Titans came at us through the middle..it co-insided with our starting players coming off..not a lot of people like the guy but the inclusion of Eisenhuth would address one of those issues..

 

[iofthetigers]

Swap Garner & Luellia back to their preferred sides, twal back to front row rotation Walters to lock With Chee kam back on the bench as I think he could be our most dynamic forward with the rule changes. Get rid of Jennings

He’s a great defender for sure. Maybe bench one of Aloiai or Mikaele so both aren’t off at the same time. Start Clark or someone else then our forward rotation is more balanced and we aren’t losing all our strike at once.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

spot on Geo Eisenhuth probably needs to replace Clarke and probably cheekam or taylor for lawrence and musgrove starting with mikaele on the bench replacing seyfarth
i dont think Madge will drop Jennings he will give him another go

 

[haberfield_tiger]

brooks/benji half combo has to be over. They can't manage a game. I just don't think they have the footy iq. One has to be dropped. I don't think reynolds is the answer either. Billy walters plays 7. Push brooks to 6 where he can just play footy and Billy manages the game. Think we need a cheekam on the bench and maybe Russell packer when fit

 

[Newtown]

Drop the wingers..that will fix it...put some blokes in who haven't played for 3 months..

Fortune favours the brave and sticking to known losers is not brave.
