TEAM LIST Team vs Storm [Round 10]

[gregjm87]

I still believe Skelton is in our top two wingers. A shame in my opinion he seems to be getting pushed out of the club.
Obvious concerns over Mason at the back. No idea whod I prefer there out of all the options as I haven't watched enough reserve grade.
My biggest gripe this week is probably Sione on an edge. Not only do I think he not at all suited there but I think they will miss him through the middle. I'd have gone with Seyfarth.
Otherwise, glad he has made changes. Hoping Makasini finds his way back into the side soon.

Don’t know what to think about Mason. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that he doesn’t win many games. He is fast though.

If he can hold his own then the rest of the side looks okay considering the outs.

 

[Tiger Woods]

Couldn't jahrome hughes wait 1 more week to play oh of course it had to be against the tigers like every other good player that always returns from injury against us
😡 😠 😤 🤣

 

[Tigerscout]

Just how did he ‘set him up for failure’?
Was he supposed to tell Cronulla not to kick to him?

Put him outside toa who can’t even tie his shoe laces correctly

It's a up yours Wests Tigers thing, happens a lot.

 

[Tigerscout]

Noone is questioning Benji's tough stance on Tavana and Toa and, to be honest any sensible coach would have done the same thing. With his 3 dumb, costly errors, Sione could have joined those two as part of the firm statement. He probably deserved to be dropped more than Sukkar but he had previous form in the bank. Choosing Mason is nonsense though. Laulilii has played a lot of fullback in the lower grades and is playing well. He should have been 1 with Skelton in.

Agreed

Yeah it's like injured players beg their coaches to come back early because it's only the tigers
🤣

If we're smart, we'll test how sound Hughes's wrist is, twist yank.

There must be something else with Skelton going on other than form. Doesn't make sense that he's been left out so often.

We should be setting up for Sione number him as much as possible. Sione can be a handful for opposing defences and he will test out Hughes’ injuries if we play it that way.
Im also mystified that Skelton was not called into our starting line up as I think his height and size alone would be a big help.

I'm really happy Benji beefed up the pack bringing Bunty in and moving Sione to the second row, looks like an up the middle assault.

Hope it pays dividends.

Coates back also for the first time this season, of course!

You think Skelton would have dropped so many bombs or made so many errors of judgment in defence outside of Toa?
TBH I’m not saying I don’t think Tavana can’t make it, in fact I thought his previous game showed a lot of promise… but the kid had a shocker last week.
It wasn’t on Benji.

 

[TYGA]

A-lot of constructive banter however we wont beat any team with Api, Bula, AD, Sam Fainu out. At best we compete after the bye. I don't think team selections mean much. 4/5 top liners out and we are not the broncos our roster was short to begin with.

 

[Tiger Woods]

My prediction

Tigers 26
Storm 18

I can't see what Skelton has done wrong? Unless he has said something to piss Benji off or maybe team mates???

I'd say it must be training standards. He doesn't look as fit as some of the team.

Coates back also for the first time this season, of course!

He isnt named in the extended squad. Maybe he is back in reservee grade, but he wont be playing against the tigers.

 

[LARDS]

Heck, Mason is going to get bombed so much he's going to wish is was in Beirut

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Bellamy is a generational coach but we dont know if hes lost it yet or not. If the Tigers did manage to win convincingly, then I have serious concerns about his future as a coach.

But there's a world in which they turn up and beat us by 40 and Fa'alogo scores 4 tries. This is still Craig Bellamy team.

Bellamy team way way way out of form though. Something is not right in melbourne
if we had lost 7 in a row people would be saying we are no chance
we have lost ONE game
