Team v Souths - 1 change

[Hbom]

Grant out.
At a guess, we'll see Sue to prop, Sironen to lock and Lovett or Halatau to starting on the edge.
Griffin or Edwards onto the bench.

Grant out, MCK in. Source a current tiger. He also confirmed JT is hamstrung by 2nd tier cap due to mismanagement.

Is is because MCK's dad went on a rant about how his son wasnt getting a Gig

My mind wonders

Griffo got picked for PNG, i personally would like to see him play in the FG team for us

I was told the cap was preventing Jordan Grant and Rod Griffin from getting a start. 5 players being paid by tigers are elsewhere.

[clifferdSH]

Chee Kam will debut for Tigers tonight

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Chee Kam will debut for Tigers tonight

cause we need another 2nd rower on the bench with little go forward 😕

 

[Born_tiger]

Finally, Decent bench player, Given an opportunity

Although he probably won't shine as much tonight getting 30 mins off the bench, he definitely deserves his spot. He is quality

Should've been in the team since Round 1

Chee Kam will debut for Tigers tonight

Should have happened 3 or 4 losses back, ahh well better late than never, good luck mate, show the coach he has no idea, and have a blinder.

I'm going state now that the team looks pretty good based on the injuries that we have. The bench looks to me like basically 3 guys that can play up the middle and one backrower.

Interchange:
14\. Josh Aloiai
16\. Kyle Lovett
17\. JJ Felise
18\. Michael Chee Kam

I'm not sold on Felise at all but I'm not sure that there is a better option within the club.

Good luck to Chee-Kam. Hope he goes well and hits hard.

 

[GoldXR50Leroy]

MCK, as a debutant do your best and make us proud, BTW MCK there is history at the Tigers where a debutant scores!….........

 

[innsaneink]

One prop

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Could have been worse
Milone could have come in
JT could have gone with Cherrington

So in the grand scheme of things not as bad as it could have been

 

[MacDougall]

One prop

Yeh we are getting dominated up the middle again…

 

[CocaCola]

Moses out

 

[GNR4LIFE]

So JAC in now, Rankin to 5/8?

 

[Wagga_Tiger]

Looks like Fine in.

 

[CocaCola]

Rankin still on the wing.. ffs

 

[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

Exactly. After the CEO's comments, those 17 players from Saturday were always going to get a chance at redemption and hopefully, play for their careers. Milone the only unluckly player but that was always going to happen, even if we won by 60, with Simona back from suspension.

The performance on Thursday and Taylor's subsequent actions with the 18 day break till the next match are key. That is enough time to ring some changes and train accordingly.

In hindsight this couldve been a brilliant move….sure as hell wont hurt
Well done to all. Could be a bit of a kick start for the remaining 2/3rds of the season

 

[ricksen]

His versatility certainly helped with all the re-shuffles

I missed this the first time through. Bloody hell.

Who could they be? Galloway is the obvious one. Blair's WT contract ended in 2015, so he's out.
Taupau? Seve?
