Wests Tigers Team V Cowboys Rd 22

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

I'm worried about this one.
That game at LO, Cows lost so many and we played them to form
Currently lost 8-9 in a row I think, do we play them to form again ?

and taumalolo has busted his hand again....deja vu

Did Taumalolo punch a wall again after being forced to play on the edge?

Would not at all surprise.. If any team simply turns up, then they stand a good chance of beating us. I think we were lucky last week, that the Bulldogs played so poorly. And that was the Bulldogs..

We can only hope the players are watching Tiger Town and thinking to themselves; man we actually suck, let's do something about it.

We can't go in expecting our 9 to play 80 minutes - no matter who's named there.

The part I don't understand is:
1. Liddle can't go 80 minutes (neither can Simpkin)
2. Fullback is one of the most demanding positions in terms of fitness
3. After 50-60 minutes we replace Liddle who's gassed, with the person playing fullback who is probably equally gassed

I like Cini, but wouldn't this all be simpler if we just picked Simpkin on the bench?

If we have Simpkin on the bench, then we don’t have a backup for the backs, assuming we go with 3 other forwards?

Mbye can cover all positions including the 9 and Cini can cover all the backline?

Yeah that's one possibility but the only way that works out well is if there is an injury. I'd rather have someone like MCK on the bench given some of our bench (and starting forwards) barely play for 20 mins.

Strange.

Still quicker than our centres and most of our backs actually.

Least mbye’s jersey will match his panties this week

NECESSITY short on troops

 

[JayT]

Should be a close game. Cowboys by 6

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

Here we go again another game against a team with key players out and short on troops

 

[SeanT]

Jeez I don't want Mbye anywhere near this side. Useless as.

 

[yeahcaz]

Cowboys sporting one of the worst back lines I’ve truly ever seen. Cows 13+

Haha. As bad as it is, you could argue its stronger than ours.

Why isn't MBye in the side? If he didn't through the long pass to Maumelo last week Wests tigers may well have lost the match.









why

 

[Sabre]

Taumalolo being out mightn’t make that big a difference to the Cowboys. Payten seems to struggle to use him effectively anyway.

 

[innsaneink]

Is the real. Team in here somewhere?

 

[hobbo1]

I would’ve had Cini at fullback and Mbye doing the Uber eats burger run
