TEAM LIST Vs Bulldogs [Round 20]

[Betterdays22]

Seems harsh on Saukuru not to be picked over Makasini. Maybe he has already signed elsewhere or the Tigers have told him he wont be re-signed.

Nobody Knows would be nice for some Clarification.

Robert’s orange one? Doesn’t black mean first grade and orange cup

Sure would. Maybe he's been told this year is all about dominating NSW Cup (like Javon) and then he will be rewarded.

Sol brings many things to our outside back stocks, size, power, footwork, skill etc but one thing that many don't realise is he is one of few pure left-sided backs in our club (left hand carry, right hand fend) - Taylan, Makasini & Glassie the others. Hard to find them throughout the NRL in fact.

I saw someone saying he’s defence is so bad it makes makasini look like an elite defender

Sol's defence is ok. Can make a rash decision at times but his contact and strength is good. But yes NRL is another level of speed. Certainly on the wing it wouldn't be much worse than Skelton, Makasini or Laulilii imo.

 

[weststigers]

Why is it kudos to Benji for selecting a team of available players? IMO its a joke Doueihi is playing injured and Heamasi keeps getting selected.

Im not sure ill be able to watch the Bulldogs halves of Galvin and O'Sullivan out play our 2

Relax man

 

[ShanghaiCharlie]

Why is Kit playing first grade? Surely there is another young prop that is just as good and is actually worth developing seeing as though Kit is out the door at the end of the year... Doesn't make sense.

Maybe it's a salary cap thing or who you can or can't use due to regulations in your Top 30.

Agree. Has to be a salary cap thing as Taateo deserves to be there on form over him. Maybe Benji thinks if the team needs a 10-minute burst, Kit can do that.

 

[Strider]

I am a big fan of Crichton. He has stepped up for them big time playing halfback the last couple of weeks in a 6 jersey, allowing Galvin to play his natural game more. Without Crichton then surely Galvin will have to lead the team around, which is good news for Tigers.

It all comes down to attitude. With great attitude, luck will go our way and we win this IMO.

That is a big question mark though. If we play like we did against Newcastle we have no chance.

I am predicting we will turn up.

Happy we have Ethan instead of Mav.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

I am predicting we will turn up.

Me too. Unless a few of them rock up to Cambo cos they think we’re playing there. Like that NYC player a few years ago who turned up to Leichhardt on game day when we were actually playing at Cambo.

Relax man

What makes you think im not relaxed?

Dont hold your breath. Our grand final came and went in the last 2 games, we are no chance of making the 8.

There seems to be something personal between after what happened with galvin. Like the boys get up for benji.

I hope the recent luai drama doesnt change that.

Yeah mate, thinking along the same lines, if they can't get up for this game they will struggle to win another this season.

A loss here and the season is officially over. We could go on a 6 or 7 game streak.. with a bye in there.. so the hope is slim.

The halves selected are the best halves available today.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Noted that Kit Laulilii is named on both the NRL bench & NSW Cup this week. Usually players on the 6-man NRL bench aren't named in Cup. Me thinks Api is likely to come into the squad & Kit drops out.

Or is there any middles in cup who could come up?

It sucks we’ve used up all the Leichhardt games as well, over the past few years the squad has broken some poor form or losing streaks there
