Wests Tigers Team v Canterbury Rd 14..

[Geo]

Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named his side to take on the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs for their Round 14 clash this Sunday at Bankwest Stadium.

In a huge boost for the side, Jacob Liddle has been named to start at hooker for his first match in over 12 months after recovering from an extensive knee injury.

His return in the number nine jersey sees co-captain Moses Mbye shift back to centre and Tommy Talau to the wing, with last week’s debutant Asu Kepaoa dropping back to the reserves.

Josh Reynolds also returns to the side for his first game since Round 9 — replacing the injured Billy Walters on the bench — while Luke Garner starts in the back row for Chris Lawrence, who takes the place of Shawn Blore on the bench.

Alex Twal (sternum) remains sidelined for another week while Harry Grant (knee) and Zane Musgrove (foot) are also unavailable for selectio

Hope Liddle has a blinder ..
Halves still suck.
Hope Doohey’s had a snickers this week ..

Reynolds in for Brooks, Asu in for Mbye, Blore on the bench..... would kinda prefer that

Fingers crossed for Liddle, the kid has had some crap luck

 

[Goldust]

Up the boys!!! Let’s do it.
Pumped to see Liddle 🔥

 

[avocadoontoast]

What was it about Maguire holding players accountable again? 😂

 

[JC99]

Benji over Reynolds.... Lawrence over Blore. Two horrendous selections.

Good to see Liddle back!

 

[patwalker]

Blore and ET in for Reynolds and Lawrence.

Dogs 13+

 

[Speed2burn]

I’m pumped about Liddle. Other than that, not much to get excited about

 

[JD Tiger]

Maybe Madge thinks Liddle might need some cover at hooker, hence Reynolds on the bench. Maybe he thought it would be too disrupting to have MBye cover him, and then need to cover MBye's position.

How about Madge, MBye to bench instead of Reynolds, Reynolds to 5/8 instead of Benji, Benji dropped, Talau back to centre, AJ back to winger.

And Blore in for Lawrence for good measure.

Time to start thinking ahead, and if you aren't here next year, then you're not picked.

Jacob Liddle. how bloody good. hope he shows Canterbury what they're missing out on when they approached him and he remained loyal to Wests Tigers.

 

[JC99]

We’re playing two dinosaurs who should retire instead of a young up and comer and a guy who’s actually contracted here for next season.

I can’t understand it at all.

 

[WT2K]

Welcome back, Jacob!

Other than that, not much can be said about the rest of the team.

 

[Newtown]

Who is the captain and who is the goal kicker. These are the two easiest jobs in this team. They virtually do nothing!

 

[Fish88]

Don’t get the Blore dropping. Should be on the bench at minimum. Asu just unlucky, would probably be centre of it wasn’t for Mbye

 

[TheDaBoss]

TALAU don't give liddle another acl please lol
