Tigers official team vs Panthers

[pacman]

1\. Austin
2\. Nofoaluma
3\. Lulia
4\. Lawrence
5\. Richards
6\. Anasta
7\. Brooks
8\. Taupau
9\. Luani
10\. Galloway
11\. Sironen
12\. Thompson
13\. Blair

14\. Seumanufagai
15\. Halatau
16\. Akaoula
17\. Buchanon

Very poor looking team we will be lukcy to score a try. That must be the slowest 1-7 in the entire NRL. Abysmal Centres. Austin is not a fullback and is slow laterally. What is Buchanon doing there!? I'm not amused by his 4 meter carries per run. As for Luani, he needs to bugger off as well, in the last game he played lays on players in the ruck looking at the referee waiting for him to award a penalty to the opposition. Penrith to put 30 on us, we'll be lucky to score a try with that team named right there.

FFS!!! No Moses? Gavet? that number 5 from NSW cup?? instead Lulia….. gg wp we lost

 

[Sabre]

I have no idea how Lulia keeps getting picked.
Fine outperforms him NSW Cup by so much it isn't funny.

 

[littletiger]

Disappointing no exciting changes. However Moses and Austin performance last week pretty much picked the side for potter.

 

[Peaches]

Chances and opportunities for a few players. Good luck to the boys. Anything can happen on a Sunday afternoon at Leichardt.

Swap Gavet for Buchanan and that was to be expected

Prey for late changes!!

Up against an almost full strength Panthers team is going to be a tough ask, but we are at Leichhardt and Anasta is firing on all cylinders even if it is only one!

This has upset written all over it.

Go the mighty Wests Tigers! :sign:

 

[Bazzinator]

wouldnt surprise me if there are a few late changes come sunday to take the pressure off the young kids with a week in the media

 

[king_sirro]

Fat slow and unfit hooker up against the fasted and most dynamic hooker in the game

 

[Fraze23]

Not really any real surprises, given Potter's comments about Austin. I hope Gavet is a late inclusion for Buchanan.

Luani and Lulia have constantly under performed in first grade this year. I wonder at which point you consider giving someone else an opportunity?

I'm really worried that the next 3 weeks might end our campaign…

 

[MightyTiger]

Have to agree. I am okay with the Austin selection at fullback but a centre pairing of Lulia and Lawrence, put it this way that combo would not get a run in most state cup teams, enough said.

And Luani, well he has done zip in his games to date so far in first grade except miss tackles, throw forward passes from dummy half and give silly penalties.

The bench well to put it simply, it is very ordinary. What is Buchannan doing there. He shows no aggression whilst carrying the ball or when defending. I would rather get 15 minutes out of Gavet from the bench at least he gets the team going forward, and tackles with some aggression. Also starting Halatau at hooker would be better for the team.

Interested in seeing how Austin goes after a week training at FB, he does deserve a starting spot.

Disappointing not to see Gavet but he only has himself to blame.

Really hope halatau takes over hooker early & luani shifts to the backrow rotation.

Maybe the old girl can get us home again!

side as expected….........unfortunately, would want someone else other than Luani (I'd prefer Dene there rather than Luani) and don't think much of Lulia.

Where's Gavet??? he got banned for 2 weeks?

 

[monkey]

Luani and buchannon are you serious surely haletau would come straight in before luani and buchannon is as useless as udders on a bull surely there are better guys than them

Don't like our chances. Luani has shown buggerall at 9 and Buchanan is just a plodder on the bench.

 

[alex]

You'd rather be blooding players like Fine, Moses, Taukafa etc at Leichhardt than Brookvale.

With Farah and Woods out we really need to try something out of the box. The same old useless selections will get us nowhere

I'd even like to see Brown or Lodge given 15 minutes to cause some carnage. Aggression and size off the bench is what won us games at the start of the season. I don't know why we've shied away from that, even with the injury to Gavet.

 

[tig_prmz]

pretty much as expected. gavet would've been there if he didnt eff up.

lulia played really good last time off the bench. he was breaking tackles at will and making good tackles as well.

austin will be the #1 all year now. hope he keeps that spot.
