I totally disagree with selecting a team it doesn't seem to work we need to use more advanced technology it's the only way forward and my suggestion is having a Lucky Dip

We will use a two dip system it's more advanced then other teams who use the one dip system

First the top 30 players that are not injured take a coloured paddle pop stick from a hat and it's no peeking

You either get a green stick or a red stick ... Green your playing red is come back next week


So then the second dip is the number positioning very advanced system the Tigers almost blow the whole of the footballs departments budget on this

On each paddle pop stick is a number 1 to 17 and that's the position you play for the first half

At half time you dip again to get a new number to see your playing position

I believe this is the way of the future for the Tigers others mite try to copy but the Tigers will have first mover advantage over others


This system only took me today's game and two bottles of Red to think pretty high tech for the Tigers if you ask me
 
Not a lot to like about how we were dominated through the middle.

Hopefully Bula is back.

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. To'a
4. Taylan May
5. Skelton
6. Luai
7. Latu Fainu
13. Doueihi
12. Sukkar
11. Samuela Fainu
10. Pole
9. Koroisau
8. Terrell May

14. Hope
15. Royce Hunt/Kit Lualili'i
16. Sione Fainu
17. Twal

Running with no specific back row depth feels risky, but if one of the backrowers goes down- well, Twal or Terrell May or Sione will just have to suck it up & defend out there.

Starting to contemplate dropping Skelton down the pecking order. Still makes decent metres, but not like early season. Luke Lualili'i would be on stand by for me. Staines has been pretty good, but he's about as scary as Bambi.

Royce has done his penance in KOE. We clearly need a player capable of drawing defenders. If not Royce, we need Kit to be that guy.

I know I do this myself, but really starting to see that player failings are glossed over, probably due to lack of options. To'a, Doueihi, Seyfarth, Pole, Hunt, Bird, Sukkar, Skelton, Staines & to a lesser degree Twal have all shown they are inconsistent, replaceable or at times, incompetent. On the other hand, they have all shown ability in games as well- so I can see how we can gloss over the failings.

The club desperately needs the likes of Luke & Kit Lualili'i, Taylan May, Makasini, Jaxson Rahme & I'll add Saukuru to become consistent contributors sooner than later. Pole & Sukkar are young enough to believe they can improve. There is another group of youngsters that are still a couple of seasons off being considered- but next season, we need some of these guys to step up & make the decision to move on from the 'almost good enough' guys easier.

We looked so flat today when our season was on the line.

One positive is Latu isn't injured.

How many times over the years has this happened? No matter who is playing for us we never ever turn up when our season is on the line. I can’t even recall how many years this has been going on, it’s like a disease that never goes away.
