Tigers v Sea Eagles

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

If we get beat 30-40 I’m happier than I was with our attack that bored me to death last week.

I agree I've been saying for weeks we need to change our style

 

[Batmans Parents]

If Benji isn’t going to play TDS, then stick him in NSW Cup, move Mason to the bench as utility. Staines or Luke L to FB and Kit in for Seyfart.

 

[innsaneink]

2018 I think was the last time.

Didnt think it was that long but not surprised

 

[Joelcainenumber1fan]

Luke at 18 is interesting and I wonder if he switches him and heath around an hour before the game..

Im a little worried about him at fb i mesn he will get the job done but he's had a lot of head knocks hasn't he??

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

The silver lining of Benji selecting Mason over Laulilii is that it strengthens our KOE team. In relative terms, Wests' backline is bloody strong. The Roosters team might be lacking a lot of first grade experience outside Townsend but it's brimming with young talent. Hopefully we smack them.


1. Luke Laulilii

2. Charlie Staines

3. Taylan May

4. Brent Naden

5. Izaac Tu'itupou

6. Krystian Mapapalangi

7. Kurt Falls (c)

 

[Muffstar]

So why have we locked in his contract and make him first choice back up ?
Please explain so I can understand what the club sees that the forum does not ?

Got me beat.

Great team! Latu at 7, finally realising Luai is a 6 - hallelujah! Bird to start over Seyfarth, much stronger looking bench. Hopefully TDS gets some minutes at the backend of each half this time 🙏🏼 I think Mason will surprise at the back, he’s not as bad as everyone is making out. That said, I wouldn’t have minded Staines at fullback either. Stronger, more experienced, has played there before and has never really let us down in the limited game time he gets.

Sutton the ref another Sutton on the line and Badger in the box.Which of you bludgers is responsible for this?It's hard enough to win at Brookie anyway but those mongrel officials are taking the piss.
With our luck they will probably have Klein giving our mob a big hug in the changeroom as well.

 

[eyewondertoo]

so Garick and co will outjump Mason at every opportunity.
How will Wests Tigers counteract that?

One of those weeks where you need to take the refs out of the picture. Nobody complains, only the skipper questions calls. He’ll f$&@ us any chance he gets.

My God are you serious??? How can we possibly get that evil trio officiating the one match? Tell me the NRL’s desire to banish us is just a conspiracy theory.

I don’t think Mason is a fullback.

I could better manage Charlie as you submit.

May or Nado in for Skels after last week.

Benji is just too soft sometimes.

And TDS should be starting.

I agree with all of that.
I would have chosen Peter Taateo ahead of either Sukkar or Seyfarth as I think his high energy ball running would help get us on the front foot more often.

It is on the official NRL website so unfortunately it is true.

 

[LARDS]

Mason will be bombed so much he will wish he was in Iran

Nado are you serious? Lol. Skelton has had one bad game, I think he deserves another chance. Naden on the other hand, has had so many chances this season and has blown them all! May possibly, but he is still most likely underdone.

 

[rihannafan1]

On form, we should roll the silver tails

Yes. Their lineup is poor. Starting Matt Lodge and Travis Waddell. We at least match up evenly and are due for a night where things go right for us. Our forwards rip in like last week and we do them.

 

[Tiger Stripes]

Mason is not our problem, look further.

He is a problem!
How many times does he have to show you?
Maybe Benji picking him is the problem?

 

[TigerNeddyK]

What the hell BENJI ????? 😡 you pick a fullback against Manly that cannot take a high ball and does not like tacking ?? Have we given up on this season?

 

[hodgo]

we should win the forward battle imo easily they have no gp forward
