TEAM LIST Team Vs Titans [Round 15]

[TV Ted Ellery]

Has anyone seen Lanyon play? Any strengths weaknesses and is he a better option than Hope?

Lanyon shared hooking duties with Haywood in Flegg last year, alternating between 9 and 13. I reckon his skillet set is more suited to lock - especially his link play - but he's a more than capable hooker. The biggest challenge for Lanyon will be adjusting to the physicality of the NRL, especially trying to hold the middle of our pitiful defensive line. While his transition to NSW Cup has been most impressive, the NRL is another level yet.

Whats happened to Ethan Roberts??

Last seen hobbling around in a moon boot.

 

[Chunk]

Blah blah blah, talk is cheap....

What about this guy, an 'international'.

Love to see him deliver an 'international' performance, he's due.

More tough runs and more involvement for starters

Thank you! You give really good insight into his development and skills.

My t

so why are we wasting time with seyfarth,toa and hunt why not get some young forwards in since none of them will be at the club next year ????

My thoughts exactly.

My thoughts exactly.

we need to win games now, who cares about next year
at present toa and seyfarth are the clubs best options in the 19 squad

 

[Tiger Tarl]

I think Latu’s best position in number 6. His best junior and lower grade form seems to be in this position (and also predominantly on the left).

From what I have seen a long kicking game is not a main strength yet.

I believe Latu is biding his time to replace Luai on the left, Doueihi stays on the right.

 

[Milky]

Yeah I gotta say, I don't understand this experiment. I also don't understand why TDS was released early when we didn't have a back-up hooker planned. Latu is being used as Mr. Fix It but he isn't fixing anything. He is struggling playing out of position.

By all accounts, he trained the off-season at 13. How many times has he played there?

He is a half, play him at half.

I would be more confident blooding Lanyon or Haywood if Twal was in the middle. If someone did an analysis of missed tackles when he is on the field vs when he is off I think it would be a real eye opener. Not just this year, he has always made a massive difference to our middle defense.

Journo asking Madden about whether NSW Origin is a goal for him 😆 😆 😆 😆

Been seeing people on ig saying hope will be dropped with lanyon playing 14, anyone know what style 9 lanyon is?

Super dooper the best 9 ever.

Cross between Farah and cam Smith mixed in with Ben Elias and Steve Walters.
Seriously some people calling for him to play probably hadn't seen him play.
Most people were talking about the Hayward kid etc as of last week

[Fraze23]

Hope at 9 😣 😤 Been tried and it just doesn’t work, surely there is someone else, anyone! It’s such an important position to give to a reserve grader.

Our depth at hooker is horrendous. We need a solid first grader to bridge the gap between the young lads coming through. I'd have jumped at Tyson Smoothey for 18 months.

Hope has consistenly shown he ain't it. I'm glad Benji is starting Latu ahead of him at least.

Need Heywood on the peptides

 

[TYGA]

This is a massive game for the Tigers. AD is due back next week with plenty of Dolphins backing up from Origin the following week.

Was that Lanyon featuring a couple of times in the "next assignment" vid on socials?
