Wests Tigers: 2020 round 1 predicted team

[JC99]

I don't disagree with anyone re Lawrence, just an observation about his absence vs Penriff

Lawrence had a great 2018. Was a tough year for him last year with the injuries but maybe with a proper pre season and no injuries he can find that 2018 form and push for a spot. Hopefully he does cause I love the bloke but second row is probably the most stacked position we have at the club.

He's a great club man etc but if we're being serious is nowhere near the 17.Even on 2018 form he's below Garner and Leilua.

Yeah he would have to work his way into the team. Garner is a weapon, Chee Kam had a really good season last year and Luciano looks to be fit and firing, was impressed with him on the weekend and he’ll look even better next to Benji

The only worthwhile points you could take from that trial game were that Walters looks like he might be the best option at 9, Musgrove needs to be in the 17, Talau needs more time before he can be an NRL centre week in week out.
Reynolds needs a lot more football. Eiso unfortunately looked better than ET and MCK.
Young Johns and Cini seem good prospects.

Cini was very disappointing, terrible defensive reads. Prospect with a lot of work to do.

Cini wasn’t the problem Tommy was

Correct

Lawrence's absence from the Penrirh trial suggests to me he is a good chance of being in the 17 or at the very least will be given a chance to stake a claim this weekend.

I only see him as backup this year.I cant see him playing more than 3-5 games off the bench unless we have bad luck with injuries.I am not doubting his efforts it is just we have better younger players imo

I see the opposite

I kind of think the same thing ... the only spot I would have him would be playing at lock. Think he offers more than Taylor and would give away less penalties also.
He wouldn’t be real keen to play in NZ due to what happened last year but that’s where I’d be playing our most capped player.

Running lines and hitting holes is his best skill and that’s what made him fit well into second row - he’ll lose that if he plays lock, but lock is the position we lack the most in. Personally think we should just use it as another front rower spot.

I'm really interested to see Saturday's trial. We actually have some questions to answer.

Clarkey just did his top 20 backrowers in the NRL. No Tigers feature in the top 20. Apparently Leilua and Garner aren’t as good as Sironen, Aubusson or Tohu Harris.

Probably a fair call atm

Neither have played much first grade

I’d rather Leilua to Harris. The big shocker was not having Elliot Whitehead in the top 20 imo

That is a surprise . But then again he had Naquima in our best ever side.

Not a lot of Wests Tigers players in that squad from 1997 to 1999, wonder why that is.
