Team v Souths - 1 change

[underdog]

Nothing like playing the Bunnies into form.

 

[tigerap]

Hard to fathom that not one player was dropped due to the poor showing last Saturday…unbelievable....

 

[Tiger_Watto]

I cant believe we got bullied and beaten in the middle on Saturday and there is still only 1 prop on the bench.

Surely there will be changes on game day?

 

[Club_Sandwich]

One change. Are you bloody kidding me?

I'm speechless.

 

[boonboon]

Chee Kam, drinkwater and addo-carr are probably on the phone to their managers as we speak.

And the manager would be saying MCK this is the third club you haven't made FG at QLD cup might give you a run, same for you Drinkwater. JAC well you are young so we have some deals with you but you'll still be playing NSW Cup for a year because you can't much defend and in your only first grade game you made 4 errors

 

[WTDiehard]

Well this current bunch will either preform a houdini trick in form reversal but overall this just not make sense.

To get flogged by 54 points and only make 1 change…...where's the accountability ????

JT obviously does not feel safe in his job because any decent club/coach would have axed 4-5 players to send a msg.

Honestly......I almost hope Souths lap us just to prove a point.

This is almost a bad joke.

It gets worse Watto. Grant is listed as having a bad ankle and 'hopeful to play'.

What then? Even if he goes down during the game??!

 

[innsaneink]

It is a psychological move by JT.

Having no changes made from the flogging in Canberra bar the return of Tim, they will all get a boost of confidence after Thursday because there is no way they can go worse than last Saturday

 

[Club_Sandwich]

I'd rather we dropped players and gave MCK, JAC and JLJ a go and lose then continue with the same bunch of clowns…. and still lose.

At least JT would be showing that players are accountable

 

[Newtown]

Milone must have been very unlucky to miss out. I bet he now feels left out.

 

[851]

I will ask again, are there any of the Taylor fan club left after this team was named, surely not.
They will play better no doubt, but there are plenty there who do not deserve another chance, Taylor you are even more stupid than I gave you credit for.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Nah wait guys , changes might come
Kevvy is in doubt so Lovett yo cover for him
Or perhaps Milone might get the call up again.
Grant in doubt so Buch might have a speedy recovery and return sooner
Or even Halatu might make room for someone after his minor surgery

God help us, these selections are actually worse than the team performance if that makes sense at all

I suspect we haven't seen the end of his stupidity yet 851

 

[maxxy86]

Well Naiqama Halatua Grant must all be going to play as there is only 17 named….what's the bet we don't finish with 17 again.

That's correct. Milone might still be in as Kevin is in doubt so essentially it is the same 17

Unfortuately you are right I suspect, the gift that keeps on giving our JT. :brick:

 

[Newtown]

They must have promised to " really" play better this week

So that's why the players put out that "Don't blame Taylor" article to media this week. Talk about crawling to the coach so you can hold your place in first grade.

Never mind there is a chance that Wests Tigers will be giving out free tickets to every Tigers supporter for Thursday's game.

 

[teddy23]

Look I agree that we should put accountability on our players but I feel that what's the point of dropping them when you can test them, let's see how they react they've come out of a massive loss that has put the whole club notice let's see what they can do

The only change that I think should happen is JAC for Rankin simply cause he's not a winger not based on he's skills but just cause he's in the wrong position

Rankin and Milone screwed us over on our left side with defense with Rapana scoring 4 and BJ scoring 2

Replace that with JAC and Simona and we should be alright

If we lose and no one steps up then I say Taylor deserves to lose he's job and every player that didn't go out there and actually play for the jersey should be dropped

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Good luck to him if he can get the same team to get us the win (In all honesty)

He spoke about representing the tigers jersey, hope they (Inc him) remember what he said otherwise it will be the same circus on show on Thursday

 

[balmain boy]

Halatau, Naiqama, Lovett, Aloiai, Brooks, Sirro, Nofo and even Sue all somewhat lucky to be named. All those forwards mentioned are bench players at best.

None bar maybe Brooks would be in the top 17 for any other NRL side this year.

However, with only 1 on field training session before the game (today) there isn't a lot of opportunity to work on new combos in match training. After a big thumping it's also not unheard of to give the players a chance to respond on the field to see who has it in them. Those who don't perform again are then dropped.

Given there's a long break after the Souths game that would be the opportune moment to work on new combinations.
