Wests Tigers Team v Cronulla

Get Kev in for Lolo and swap the roles of Benji and Reynolds.

Josh is our marque signing, time to see how he goes at 5/8\. I reckon we would have scored points early last match if he was there.

I have been pretty positive all year.

However lets not gloss over last week as a gutsy 2 point loss.

We went in the game as favourites against a depleted Roosters and blew it.

These were the games Cleary assembled this sort of squad to win.

And we lost it ourselves. They didn't beat us. That is disappointing.

Im still really happy with the way we are competing. However we need some improvement in attack.

I dont want 5-6 changes however I thought 1 or 2 were needed in key spots.

Anyway lets see how it goes this weekend. Hopefully I'm wrong and we come out and win.

BINGO!!!!

That's when you know Round 1 was a big fluke….they had there best players missing and we cough up that performance .

There is no direction in our attack , it's like no one knows what we are going to do or how we are supposed to attack in the opposition Red Zone .
To much one out stuff and no variety, it's so easily read for the opposition as long as the opposition doesn't rush up we are no threat in attack .

Lolohea should of been dropped and Thompson to fullback with Naiqama to Centres , Reynolds for Benji with Benji to Reserves and Tyson Gamble to the bench ( that's what i would have done ).

How ET is still hooker is dumb , his service from dummy half is poor and thought Cleary was smarter than that .

Oh there's the team that will definitely make the finals!
Thompson, MWZ, Marsters, Naiqama, Fonua,
Reynolds, Brooks
Packer, Player X, Matulino
Lawrence, MCK, ET
Hooth, Twal, Aloiai, Gamble

It's that easy, definitely and clearly a match winning team.

Sarcarsm aside, those look like changes for changes sake. Thommo not proven superior to Lolo in attack, just a better positional fullback and shows more heart. Naiqama in moves Fonua to wing, where he might be more of a liability like last week. ET out with no clear replacement. Gamble on the bench - when do you sub him on? Replace #6, or is Gamble the next to play hooker now?

Shuffling deck chairs on the Titanic, as they say.

I wouldn't have any specific issue running that team out as you suggest, but I don't think it's clearly any better or worse than the team already named.

Just a better positional fullback that shows more heart. You said it.

Thats seems fairly clear cut to me considering the cultural change the club is trying to bring about.
 
Sharks would smash Liddle.- his body cant handle it at this point.
Not ideal having ET start at hooker but allows Cleary to not have to take two dh into the game. ET will play 80 and he can put Reynolds on when needed.
As for the rest of the team not too surprised. Have never understood Tui - but if you are going to buy a player I guess you have got to back them to do the job - to a point.
His time must be running out.

To be brutally honest we have depth as a club but we dont have outstanding talent in the squad.I am pleased with the effort Ivan is getting out of the team which makes us competitve each week.
We need and i am sure we will have more class at the club next year let Ivan/Pascoe do their job.Far to many people on here wanted to believe it could all be rectified in 1 off season.It takes time.

Not a truer word spoken on this forum…..and just to add I honestly think Benji is stifling Brooks and he cant control the game with Benji taking over...thats why Tui and others cant start making inroads and playing to the gameplan because Benji breaks it down with the miracle play at the worst moments of the game..
This squad can and will beat some of the best in the NRL,however they need to gel and sort things out which doesnt happen overnight....

Good post. To win constantly you need a few more top tier players. It's been a really solid effort this year so far. We haven't been flogged and the boys will put in again against the Sharks.
