Wests Tigers: 2020 round 1 predicted team

[Madge]

Ryan Garner (winger) and EJ (prop) were doing a Q&A on an Instagram page. One of the questions asked was, who are the hardest players to stop at training. Answers were: Zane Musgrove, Tom Mikaele and Mavoni Taifua.

I gotta do some reading, whos the last guy? Havent heard that name before.

I think you mean Mavoni Tuifua, JD
You'll see him in Flegg/CC this year.

Musgrove, Mikaele, Tuifua, Seyfarth, Utoikamanu, Twal, Aloiai, EJ Toeava,
Garner, Leilua 2/3 spots left. I'm happy,
we're building nicely, I'm very pleased.

I've seen him play quite a bit last year. Very scary!


At first I thought the same. But he looks like a bit of a big bully - which is fine, until he gets amongst others the same. I'm assuming he was off the bench constantly? Hoping he can come on nicely, but he's nowhere near 1st grade surely.

Why is that?

Watched vs Blacktown. Beast of a player.

Don't know him from a bar of soap, but if he's already 19 I wouldn't have thought he's too young?

What is Brendan O'Hagan like

Can anyone tell me: how fast is Talau?
We need pace out wide. So lock in Leilua and Garner for send row - both tackle busters. Lock in the other Leilua for one centre. He also can set up an outside man. Seems to me, to compliment this, we need speedy running off these guys. So rank our speedsters and that’s who play other centre, both wings and fullback

Nice long big strides....not the greatest acceleration but by no means Jennings slow

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Why is that?

The highlights package look as though he's a lot bigger than his opponents. Coming into nrl, that might not be the case. Better players can often handle big aggressive young blokes pretty comfortably.

Video of this guy Mavoni punching on with some Claymore fella on YouTube.

Just a heads up Nofo has been training at fullback as has been looking good.

Would really like to see this happen...good acceleration, strong, decent passing game and good ground kicking ability

Would also have better catching skills when it comes to defusing kicks.

Yes very true love the kid he’s incredibly athletic and would thrive there....just means we loose a quality winger with fantastic try scoring ability....

I like Momirovski and the improvements he made but I reckon Leilua and Talau are destined to be our centres as we need strike and I agree- momo is not a winger. If I was playing against him I’d grubbed or kick in behind him all night. He turns like a cruise ship

 

[momo_amp_medo]

I read couple of items to say that the coaching staff have Talau on the back burner at this stage of his development.
So may be a while before he gets a clear run at our firsts squad jumper.

I think Momo will be a starting centre Steve, at least for the first six games.

I'm happy with that - gives him a further chance to cement his spot.

Also, if momirovski is not in our starting 13, who the hell kicks goals at a decent %?
