TEAM LIST Team vs Knights [Round 17]

[426Tlgerland]

I hope Benji loads us up to start
Upfront May - Appi - Bunty , go hard up the middle and test the knights
Backrow , Seyfarth - Twally - Sione
Bench - Lanyon - Pole - Sukkur - Latu ,
Skelton instruction - cut someone in half with a smashing hit early , legal but nasty he has them in him .
Kick down field , turn them around and kick away from Ponga , if kicking to Ponga get some grabbers to side line going and some 40/20 attempts this way it pulls ponga over to the sides .
Lanyon on at the 25 minutes give Appi a break

On Wests Tigers Forum you need to approach this in two directions.

1. Give us no chance to win.

THEN

2. Hammer the team, club and coaches for losing the game they had no chance of winning in the first place.

Kindly avoid using logic, math or context when using stats. Defeats, in any location, are caused by Campbelltown Stadium. Try and limit your memory to about 4 days back or so. Ignore any clear medium term signs of improvement. Ignore that our injury hit side plays better than our actual side did last season.

Most importantly. If we win, you change your tune and jump right back on the Bandwagon like it was never in doubt.

Can I just add, if we win it wasn’t because of how we played it was due to either one or both of the following:

3. The Kinghts played poorly, had injuries, had players sent off, etc.
4. The Ref handed us that game on a silver platter

I know you probably don’t mean it but that makes me feel ill.

Our disrespect for our animals has no boundaries.

Can someone get AI to morph Denny’s head in that tigers mouth than I’d probably feel a little better.

You’re right, I deleted the post.

Post of the year.

You forgot the ones for who losses seem to actually spark some joy because "i told you so"

We have been last match of the round 4 times this year for 3 wins knights home W...parra away W...sharks away L
Titans home W

And he is leaving the club

Exactly, another puzzling decision. Solo has been carving in Cup for weeks and deserves a taste of NRL whereas Geyer doesn't look up to it.

NRL Late Mail Round 17: Alex Twal trains with rehab group, Samuela Fainu eyes early return

Wests Tigers forward Alex Twal still has plenty of boxes to tick despite being named to start for Sunday’s match against the Newcastle Knights.

Wests Tigers back-rower Samuela Fainu is on track for an early return after originally being ruled out until round 22.

Fainu is on track to potentially return next week against the Dragons after requiring foot surgery following the club’s 52-10 loss to the Sharks.

One of the Tigers’ stand outs for the year, Fainu’s recovery has tracked better than initially expected, providing the club with a huge boost for the back end of the year and their hopes of breaking their 15-year finals drought.

Fainu was seen at training on Wednesday commencing his running and change of direction work with the rehab group, which also included Alex Twal.

Initially named to start at lock this weekend against Newcastle, it’s understood Twal still needs to tick a few boxes before getting the green light to play.

Twal suffered a low grade MCL tear against Canterbury in round 13, only commencing running this weekend.

The 29-year-old has been mostly restricted to off-feet conditioning since the game last month, with the Tigers expected to give him every chance to prove his fitness for Sunday’s game against the Knights.

Fainu looked like he was still limping on Saturday at the game

If he’s starting to run today that’s a miracle

 

[Oldman]

They shouldve lost...Dragons were robbed 8 points in the ...they were rorted

Should have, could have, would have.
The Knights WON
End of story

I think we will struggle this week because Adam Doueihi is not a natural 7.

U got to be kidding , the bloke was our best player and best attacking player before been injured

I would love to see our kicks kept low and hard and trilled towards the side line

You’re right, I deleted the post.

I even deleted my reply. 👍🏻

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

this week I like

Titans
manly
roosters
tigers

I will just have $30 on each I think

 

[Speed2burn]

Rain in Newy on Sunday, might favour us better being the slower team

Will come down to possession and smart football.

Not convinced the Knights are going as well as they are made out to be.

Had a pretty cruisy run in to this week of late-

R9- Souths 38 Knights 42
R10- St George 10 Knights 44
R11- Titans 12 Knights 36
R12- Bye
R13- Knights 28 Eels 22
R14- Storm 32 Knights 30
R15- Bye
R16- Knights 22 St George 20

2 x Bye, 2 x St George, Titans & Eels

Only team in the 8 they played was Souths where everyone forgot that tackling was allowed.

And lost to the Storm.

And they haven't exactly suffered any significant injury setbacks in that time.

For mine, they kind of look like that country horse with good form coming into the city track against the better quality.. doesn't tend to work so well.

And after the Tigers- Dolphins, Souths, Sharks, Roosters, Broncos, Raiders, Titans, Manly, Warriors & the Bye.

10 rounds & they get Top 8 sides in 6 of them & the Raiders & Broncos away.

Reckon they 'need' this week to go their way much more than people expect. I'd say they are looking at between 4-8 points after this round, might not be enough to get them home.
