Wests Tigers Team v Cronulla

[Tiger_Steve]

In Ivan we trust. In Ivan we trust. Can’t stand Godinet. In Ivan we trust. In Ivan we trust.

 

[Harvey]

Ivan likes Godinet at hooker/utility with Benji OUT

Ivan likes Godinet too much. He is the worst option, terrible defence and add little in attack. His ongoing selection reminds me of JT and Jordan Rankin.

OhmyGodinet. The Rankin of the Cleary era. Good call Harvey.

 

[Tigerdave]

ok, I guess I wouldn't have minded seeing Lolo shifted, but that's the least amount of disruption

the hooking spot though….....oh boy

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Far out!

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Wouldn't Godinet be better as he can cover the halves with Benji out

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Chee Kam dropped to the bench. Someone check on Tacky and Hobbo. Rip in garlic.

 

[WT2K]

Talk about changes!

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

I like that Mats and Packer are split.

 

[Russell]

Well I think Godinet is a better hooker than McIlwrick.

At least you have a hooker on the bench / rather than a 5/8.

 

[WT2K]

I like that Mats and Packer are split.

Same here Tweed

 

[Russell]

Chee Kam dropped to the bench. Someone check on Tacky and Hobbo. Rip in garlic.

The only surprise is that the "wannabeast" is still in the team.

 

[avocadoontoast]

No problem with those changes at all. Glad to see Aloiai in the run on side.

 

[WT2K]

Chee Kam dropped to the bench. Someone check on Tacky and Hobbo. Rip in garlic.

Might be another meltdown on the forum..

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

Its Tim Grant i rather not see in the team
Adds Zero go forward as a front man

Min 1 or 2 Brian explosions from Godinet
He thinks he is Robbie Farah

 

[Telltails]

Im ok with the changes given the circumstances and who's available.

 

[AL The Tiger]

Really pleased with the changes. The team is much better actually. Obviously I would like to see someone else in place for Godinet, but seeing as there aren't too many options around (assuming there's something wrong with McIlwrick and Liddle is suffering from the sternum injury) - what can you do really? MCK back to the bench where he excels, Mats and Packer split for impact at all times, and a more experienced Naiqama in for MWZ.

It's not all doom and gloom fellas

 

[Tiger_Steve]

People who pick this team know a lot more than me but in my humble opinion:
- Grant plods and is a liability in defence
- MWZ is a better defensive option on the wing than Kev
- Godinet is god awful
Oh well, cmon Tigers!!!!!

We were winning with Godinet.
