TEAM LIST Team vs Storm [Round 10]

[weststigers]

LOL … I’d play Royce Hunt at fullback over Mason.. Andrews , Logan Brooke’s … Benji had plenty of other options than this… we cannot win the game in Melbourne with him at fullback… I’m not saying he cannot play footy,, but he cannot handle NRL fullback… what the hell is Benji thinking..

you are normally a chilled guy Cedar...what happened? 😆

 

[Odessa]

Yeah mate,, good for you, he played last week

Awesome I read that up in QLD ? His family mite have got to watch him a few weeks ago he scored 4

I always love it when kids debut living there dream all the hard work they have put in and time

Don't care what club they debut for just nice 👍

 

[Tigerscout]

Mason and Hope. Storm 13+
Game plan - high balls to Mason and middles run at Hope.
Surprised Sukkar didn't get another run on.

Sukkar playing as one of our best in cup, they bring him up, plays solid in attack and defence and they drop him for sione????. And he Brings tino up also and sets him up for failure, and drops him. poor kid. If there is one thing Benji knows how to do is f with their confidence!

 

[cktiger]

My first thoughts when I saw the team was we dropped a winger who couldn’t catch and promoted a fullback who can’t.
Seriously hope he’s been doing a lot of work on this.
Second thought was regards to Hope… too slow and too many wrong options plus hogged the ball last week.
Benji really needs to get in his ear.

It’s what happens when your squad gets stretched. We’re on fumes in some areas.

and the supporters are fuming.

 

[TurnStyle]

Well, here's hoping Mason can surprise... Okay, praying. 🙏

Can see why he's gone with this, but I would've kept Turuva at fb and brought Skelton onto the wing.

Glad Herbert is back.

In all, they've dropped players who needed dropping. Thank God he didn't inherit his selection methods from Sheens! 🤣

I am not optimistic when I compare the team sheets.

 

[Sco77y]

With Sione starting in the back row and Bunty into the prop rotation, it looks like we’re going for the bash & barge approach, I like it! Can’t wait to see big Royce and Bunty hit it up one after the other.

Go Tigers 🐯💪

Surprised we haven't seen Bunty already. From all reports had a great preseason and looked good in the trials. Haven't seen a lot of him since then though.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

To'a, Tavana & Sukkar all named in NSW Cup team this week. See NSW Cup thread for full team.

 

[Sco77y]

I am not optimistic when I compare the team sheets.

I guess you can take solace in the fact Melbourne have looked good on paper all year but have somehow still lost 7 in a row. We can only hope that will continue this week.

So sounds like we're chalking up a loss for our Cup team then?

 

[Odessa]

Wow Benji has been ruthless with the right edge (except Madden) - no To'a or Tavana at all and Sukkar only on reserves list.

Here is Heath Mason's chance - playing for a contract!

I like it and Bunty Bunty Bunty

Mason I hope he plays well but didn't he play centre the other week in Reggie's ?

There could be some late charges

 

[hank37w]

If it’s true that Mason has been killing it in reserve grade, maybe it’s reward for effort. If you are doing all the right things, and still not getting a look in when there’s injuries, where does that leave you?

Would be much happier if his efforts in reserve grade had of been at full back, I guess at least Turuva is back on the wing where he makes his greatest contribution.

 

[innsaneink]

Jesus.. Andrews could fill in at fullback.. Luke L… my heart really cannot handle the pain that will be caused by watching Mason at fullback… I really thought they had learnt and I would never be subjected to this torture again

R u OK?

 

[oxycon]

Happy with all the selections bar heath mason this guy is a turn style in defence how far is Attard off surely, he's a better option than Mason?

 

[weststigers]

Sukkar playing as one of our best in cup, they bring him up, plays solid in attack and defence and they drop him for sione????. And he Brings tino up also and sets him up for failure, and drops him. poor kid. If there is one thing Benji knows how to do is f with their confidence!

Sorry but Sukkar has no attack. He is worse than Shaun Fensom

 

[Tiger Woods]

We haven't lost 2 in a row this year hopefully we bounce back & continue the trend
🙏

Masons defence is better then Attard at this stage at least (and similar ages).

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Good team except no Skelton.

Not at all.
Its almost in our DNA that we play the storm into form lol
