TEAM LIST Team vs Storm [Round 10]

[TigerNeddyK]

R u OK?

I’ll be asking you that at halftime … ok ? 👌🤠 mate, I don’t want him to fail, and I rated him when he was signed by us and think he is a bit like Terry Lamb, and should be used like that .. as a halfback maybe,,, tough , can step, just needs to be coached and learn, but he is not an NRL fullback.. I really do see a bit of baa in him

 

[Oldman]

The listed Melbourne team looks strong on paper. Two tall wingers. We are up against it.

Yep
Strongest they have looked for weeks.
Things change quickly in NRL,
Can never look to far ahead.

 

[TYGA]

Benji has been consistently dropping poor performers. We are missing plenty Fainu, AD, Api, Bula. He's replaced the entire right edge. Whats clear is we need a right centre has to he recruited.

 

[Betterdays22]

He’s absolutely horrendous under the high ball. Like, next level.

At least hes been getting heaps of practice in reserve grade...

I understand what Ink is saying. I understand what you are saying TNK

Maybe Benji is saying.... Heath - you are the same stature as those 2 South Sydney fullbacks...... get real and snap out of it

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Very very happy with that all things considered!

The side looks OK, all things considered; but Mason is my big worry. Otherwise Benji has got rid of the underperformers without giving them second chances.
He must have been really pissed off! A good lesson for Benji to get tougher on underperformers.
Got no idea how Mason will handle the bombs. Hope it's better than it has been?

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Back fence Bunty to debut.

Hope so.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Has has played FB many times before...time to prove he can play!

And failed many times. Fingers crossed.

 

[TigerNeddyK]

Looking at the backs ,,,, would it be the shortest average backline ever to play NRL?

 

[Mighty_Tiger]

Was fearful it would be worse.
Team isn’t terrible - Mason meh decision but allows us to get more value from Turuva is a positive plus Mason has played alright in NSW Cup.

 

[Papacito]

Heath Mason to have half the forum eating humble pie for Sunday dinner!

 

[AmericanHistoryX]

Tim Sheens liked small players.

Coach Benji has no room for a hard hitter like Skelton.

Would you prefer yes you - prefer Mason running at you or Skelton. That's what I thought.

Guess what

The opposition agrees with you

 

[Tiger Stripes]

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?

Killing it where he doesn't have to catch a bomb.
Not a winger or fullback IMO.

 

[AnonTiger]

Whilst Mason could have a shocker, we need a ball playing fullback which he is. With no api and ad we have 0 creativity with turuva at fb taking hit ups. Just need to hope he catches the first bomb and goes on from there

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Back fence Bunty to debut.

Really happy to see him get the chance. Won’t let anyone down

 

[tigertragic]

Melb is as close to full strength as they have been all year

 

[Camel2281]

Heath Mason at fullback plays Melbourne back into the winner's circle. Kid is Massey Cup level

 

[liltiger]

Best we could field under the circumstances, Not keen on Mason at fullback though. 2 questions doesnt Andrews play a bit of fullback? Or why not just leave Teruva there and bring Skelton in.
Any idea why Bunty hasnt got a run yet. Everyone was super impressed with him in the preseason yet he hasnt got a gig.

Not at fullback though. Logan Deninger would have been a better option

Mason at fullback isn't the best we can field. He's shocking
