Wests Tigers Team v Cronulla

[jirskyr]

A lot of over-reactions to this week's team. It's not like they got mauled last week, nor like the Magpies are doing tremendous things in ISP.

Plenty of accountability from the coach even up until this round - Grant picked again after a good performance last week, Rochow not promoted, Liddle playing ISP due to lack of match fitness, Fonua dropped for missing training.

With Lolo - obviously Ivan has a plan there and obviously he doesn't see Thompson as a genuine permanent replacement. Some fans reckon otherwise, but fans don't coach FG sides. Also obviously, Mbye signed and trying to get him over now, either Tui or Thommo are stop-gap for fullback.

I just want to know who the complainers are putting in. GNR said it, people whinging for Kev Naiqama to play just to spite Lolo at FB.

3 hookers in reserve grade, none in first grade. Disappointing given it’s our biggest weakness.

This is a loose loose selection. If we some how jag a win we still loose as this type of player use will be justified and will be trotted out again. Might be better (in the long run) to get trounced this week and it will have to force change. Well you’d hope so anyways.

Yes very loose.

 

[TIGER]

The hooking role is the only real issue.

I genuinely expect changes. I expect Reynolds has to start.

Maybe even Gamble to 14 in place of whoever is outed when Taylor goes back to the back row.

Only problem is Reynolds won’t be up for 80 and Taylor’s dummy half play is terrible at the start of the game imagine after making a heap of tackles in the middle.

Yep Taylor finishing the game would be very risky.

Why does he have to finish it.

Reynolds can get 60 minutes. Leaves only 20 to fill in, be in Taylor or whoever else.

Taylor can start off the bench come on at the 30th play 10 go to half time play another 10 then Reynolds last 30.

Its not that hard

Reynolds is gassed after 20- 25mins

So you are saying he is always going to be gassed after 20-25 minutes?

Seems a limited comment.

He should be able to pump out two 30 minutes with a 30 minute break in between. He is a professional athlete for gods sake.

playing a sharks team who got embarrassed last week and have 1 guy backing up from Origin

awesome

cant wait

 

[innsaneink]

Lolohea looks like he doesnt like impact…looking more like Timid Moltzen every week, that falcon at half time was him not putting his body on the line, he knew he was getting hammered and he cowered
He just not having a crack

And Benji disappears through the crack again…. :sign:

Kudos to the coach :sign: Aren't we lucky that we don't have anymore team and players with this defeatist attitude

Thompson to fullback, Naiqama to the wing, MM to hooker, Aloiai to start over Chee Kam.

Happy with this. More time for Reynolds and we're getting somewhere.

I'm feeling good about this weekend. Can't explain it but for some reason I'm relaxed about this weekend.

100% agree

Taylor at 9 is a massive mistake. Would have started Reynolds and brought Liddle off the bench.

 

[Warble]

I haven't been happy with a few teams this year but have been proven wrong with the right result. I'm happy to be wrong again but I have my doubts.
I didnt think Lolohea would be picked again due to the falcon and the lethargic chase on Victor Radley. Much happier with Thompson at 1\. Mahae should never, ever play wing again EVER.
As mentioned by everyone, 9 is a massive prob and I too would like an explanation of what the hell our plan is for the next few rounds. Poor ET. I want to see him play his natural game again.
Josh Reynolds looked the goods. Can't wait to see more minutes this week, much earlier.
Twal is so impressive.
No offloads this week please Chee Kam.
Let's get these sharkies.
See you at the game.

No, the Kennels' team is running second last (just above Parramatta).West Tigers have been in the top 8 all season until they lost by a very lucky 2 points to one of the premiership favourites Rooster. Just fickle supporters.
