Wests Tigers Team v Canberra

[mike]

I’d said I’d be shocked if Lawrence returned this week. I’m shocked, but very happy. Go Chris.

@mike Ditto!

Who does Rowdy come in for .. Chris McQueen .. or will Rowdy come off the bench for ..?? Liddle .. ??

Personally if you played him in the 13 jersey it actually makes it slightly easier for him defensively .....work rate is still the same ...but it gives him a bit of support

Wests Tigers Head Coach Michael Maguire has confirmed a new-look backline for his side as they prepare to face the Canberra Raiders tomorrow night at Bankwest Stadium.

Originally named in the reserves, David Nofoaluma and Mahe Fonua will both return to the starting side in place of Robert Jennings and Paul Momirovski.

Jennings was one of the two players omitted 24 hours before kickoff, while Momirovski will join Chris Lawrence on the reserves list for the game.

Maguire had confirmed earlier in the week that Lawrence will make his return from injury, with a final assessment to be made on his playing position tomorrow night.

After pulling through their respective State of Origin commitments on Wednesday night, captain Moses Mbye and Ryan Matterson have both been named to play for Wests Tigers and are expected to take their places in the run-on side.

Final team lists for both sides will be confirmed at 6:55pm AEST on Friday.

Jennings had to go. Good to see Noffa there. He’s a superior player to Jennings who besides being a good finisher, offer’s bubkis.

 

[Jimmy]

Kinda confused with this new lineup, jenngings isn’t fit so I tend agree with nofo over him tho

 

[GNR4LIFE]

And I’m guessing McQueen will make way for Lawrence. Lawrence to the bench, MCK to start, and McQueen to be munching on pies during the game

 

[Madge]

Mahe and Nofoaluma on the same side is trouble for us defensively. This isn’t gonna be good.

 

[mike]

Bench looks a little light on.

 

[avocadoontoast]

@GNR4LIFE Nofa and Fonua defending together is the perfect storm of defensive incompetence. And they’re marking Cotric and Rapana. Holy Moley.

 

[TheDaBoss]

The Mullet is back

 

[Geo]

Yep..thought avo would burn his toast..

Both in according to Raiders announcement 30 mins ago.

@Geo I’ve just projectile vomited it up.

 

[hodgo]

This seems really odd hey there has to be things happening behind the scenes or maybe thats the conspiracy theorist in me.

I thought Cotric said he will only miss a week, Rapana is coming back early to play us, no surprise there

 

[hodgo]

anyone know why jennings was punted i felt like he was playing ok now he moved to the wing

 

[hodgo]

also surprising that mbye was dropped to the bench last week and back starting this week.
