Wests Tigers Team v Brisbane Rd 10

[GNR4LIFE]

I was going to say Brooks should still be on the bench. Give him a run at hooker. Nothing to lose. He could be a revalation. Sadly, if he plays, he probably comes on in the halves and Walters goes to hooker.

Surprised to see Packer starting, figured he would be on the bench. McQueen seems a bit pointless, would have preferred to see Clark on the bench. No doubt Madge is firing rockets at training. Mbye can count himself lucky.

Would be tough to not carry a back rower on the bench. Mbye probably only keeping his spot due to us having no outside backs

McIntyre is a backrower.

He’s playing prop and part of our prop rotation. Maybe Blore will take McQueens spot but I don’t think it’ll happen.

We may be surprised...

I actually don't mind McQueen there. Realistically he shouldn't get any minutes - Garner and Leilua are 80 min players. In the case of injury he's good cover given his experience and versatility.

Fingers crossed

thought Packer might get in bench for MCK or something
Not sure about brooks coming in as a 9 he may come on and walters goes to 9 to give grant a rest and then grant comes back on and ealters comes off

 

[turkeytiger03]

Out of all our halves brooks is the best one to be coming off the bench. He’s lightning fast and hopefully can follow our forwards around to take advantage of an offload and some tired defenders.

Think he should go on rogue to be honest...defending in the middle and just try to create something out of his pace. Kind of like what Peachey does at the titans.

My point is he can be used as a back up like MCK if needed, which is why is would be reasonable to include another prop instead of McQueen.

 

[The-moP]

Replace Mcqueen with Blore please

Surely this is what will happen .. McQueen provides NO impact to that side, even off the bench .. !!

 

[avocadoontoast]

McQueen. Lol.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Which is the more desperate pick, McQueen or Gamble?

 

[teddy23]

I like the team - been calling for Packer over Clark for a while don’t let me down big fella lol

McQueen is ehhh forgot how he even plays tbh, would like to see Blore come in for him but wouldn’t mind giving McQueen a chance to showcase himself

Big brooks fan but I’m excited to see how he reacts to being benched as he hasn’t been himself lately - also gives Walters the chance to show us what he has in his natural position

on par i'd say. Hard to imagine either making any form of useful contribution.

 

[turkeytiger03]

I know they probably haven’t played much together, but the combination of Walters and Grant will be interesting. Being in and around the storm set up can only be a bonus as well. Really looking forward to Friday night now.

While it may work, we seriously do not need another hooker. I'd be disappointed to see him go there.

 

[Hangonaminute]

Brooks shouldn't be in the 17 at all IMO.
Packer 🤮
McQueen 🤔

I see a loss coming and our coach will have to cop this one, I won't be watching I said I wouldn't watch another game as long as Packer is picked.
Pretty embarrassing for this Broncos side to end our season, but that's what I'm seeing

 

[weststigerman]

No way Brooks plays 9. He wouldn’t have trained there for 1 minute this year, and Walters spent the whole offseason training at hooker.

 

[Needaname]

Brooks should have been out of the side altogether, put another forward on the bench, at least the coach has put him on notice, he has had a free ride ever since he debuted, I am looking forward to watching Walters get a crack in his natural position, fire up Billy boy

If your after a statement of change from the coach.
I tend to think keeping Brooks in the 17 is even bigger.
By not giving him a couple of weeks to freshen up his basically made a decision that he no longer has value in the team as a halfback.
I know Billy has been a hooker for us earlier in the year but I really would be surprised if Grant comes off. And what a dent to confidence if Brooks comes on with 30 to go for Walters after Walters has done all the hard work.
I think he’ll come into the middle as a running forward and by doing so his making a big statement here.
Benji got dropped. Brooks has been demoted.
Big difference .

 

[The_Patriot]

Great opportunity for Billy Walters. Hopefully he can show a bit of his fathers leadership.

We need someone like him to step up to have any chance of this team improving.

Not gonna watch your team play because of one player. If we win I expect you to praise Madge to no end. Fact is Clark is pretty average

 

[TYGA]

We will win this game with Benji a 7. He’s the best play maker on the field. Talau is a massive inclusion the kid can play he covers Mbye. Walters a good defender at 6.

Packer and TPJ will both be sent off I can see it happening for sure.
