Wests Tigers 9's Teams *Official

[balmain boy]

The only possible spine is

FB. Thompson
5-8. Walters/Mbye
HB. Madden
HK. Mbye/Walters

That's it. Somehow in a squad of 18 there are only 4 spine players in total. 5 if you add Talau. Would be a perfect time to blood Simpkin. Speed out of hooker is one of the key requirements to be successful in nines.

This squad just doesn't make sense, other than wrapping up our good players in cotton wool for the main trials.

Nice that Johns is there though at least.

Momo in...

I guess that means the swap with Melb is officially off? No way he plays (risks injury) if that is still close.

Grant in storm squad too

Hmm, would seem it is off then.

Neither club would risk injury to players if the deal was about to go down. It was supposed to be all signed and sealed by now.

Really disappointing. Heading into the season without a specialist hooker will make things a lot harder for us.


We’ll see how Walters goes at 6, ? Maybe Benji plays the 2nd half at 9.? If it’s not working, I’ll need to downgrade my top 6 finish to another 9th??

Don’t base the numbers as their positions otherwise we have even bigger issues ....

MCK would be the slowest winger
Tommy would be the biggest hooker

 

[Demps]

We wont win the comp but at least we can see a few of the lesser known fellas perform.

Matheson Johns? - any info re Position, Age, Inside thigh measurements .. oops! sorry, I meant Height and Weight?

Listed as a centre, Dragons 2018 Jersey Flegg player of the year, played NSW U20’s in 2018, and NSW Residents last year. Supposed to be good but has been at a few clubs now

Thanks JC - according to https://nothingbutleague.com/player/matheson-johns/bio/ his last club was Penrith and he turns 1 just after the Start of Round 1 2020. Nothing like getting them young, I say.

 

[Papacito]

Its not horrible.


I like the Joey Ratu's name is giving Moses a nipple cripple.

 

[Geo]

No Cini ?

No Flegg players full stop by the looks...

It's a decent squad...

No injuries..😛ray:

Joseph Ratu.. looking forward to seeing him in this format

I'm looking forward to Bwaith pronouncing his name..

 

[Goldust]

Parra name a full strength squad

 

[Jimmy]

If that first 9 start I’d say
Thommo amd nofo wings
Jenno and Talau centres
MCK and mikaele middles
Mbye and madden halves
Walters 9

Not the best not the worst will be nice to see how the players go...it is weird have like 6 middles on the bench and no halves

 

[Guest]

There is that name Matheson Johns. Big things touted for this kid. Hope he might be the smoky for this season

Yeah I'm keen to see how he goes along with the likes of Seyfarth and Madden. I don't think it's the worst squad, sometimes teams you think will go well tank this format. We've definitely got mobility and quite a few of these players have big motors.

 

[supercoach]

The Momo trade looks like it may have been caned

 

[pawsandclaws1]

It is a very average looking squad, I was looking forward to some of our young fast backs been given a go. Instead we are treated with some of our NRL backs lacking pace and flair. What a non event.

 

[TieDye]

Absolute non-event.

 

[bathursttiger1]

McQueen????


McQueen must be fit to play. Don’t be surprised to see Madge get the best from him this year?

If McQueen is anywhere near our first 17 this year, than we’re stuffed.

 

[Long Term Fan]

Where does Mono fit in our regular 17 if the swap is off as BJ and Mbye appear to be the centres?

Waiting for an opportunity with Talau

 

[hobbo1]

Absolute non-event.

Mickey Mouse comp

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

i thought our side is pretty good guys we should do well

 

[Geo]

Oddly enough the last 9's comp was won 10-8 by the Rorters built on defence no length of the field tries in that one....

Looking just as forward to see how these guys defend...

 

[Madge]

Would’ve expected to see a few more younger ones given a go, but the squad going there isn’t so bad.

 

[TheDaBoss]

Its not horrible.


Joseph alphabets name clears the lot out 😂
