Wests Tigers Team v Gold Coast Rd 4

[Tiger_Steve]

I'm still concerned about the bench. It almost let us down against the Sharks. We lost all momentum when Aloiai and Mikaele came off and I still don't see any balance in that bench. Seyfarth for mine wasn't bad enough to lose his spot, but I don't think he did enough to retain it.

We can't underestimate the Titans as they've had the wood on us the last few years and they've still got some sizeable and handy forwards. I fear this bench is going to cost us.

Which is why I wrote the post questioning Musgrove’s omission. We need his aggression at the 20-25 minute mark. Maybe his defence is too loose??

I'd wager he came back from isolation a bit on the heavy side and Seyfarth ripped into training. I'd prefer to see a prop rotation that balances Aggression and work rate. I'm not sure what the reason is, but I'm sure it will bring us undone at some point.

Musgrove doesn’t seem mobile enough for these new rules and I definitely think that’s why Madge has played Clark and Seyfarth. Hopefully he trains hard drops some weight and can get back in contention for a spot.

Good point. Sounds in the money actually

If we don’t beat titans by 30+ we should be embarrassed. More nervous for this game than last week, we have a knack of losing these ones.

We are better than them everywhere in the park and with a classy looking spine we should take this one easily

Musgrove out of favourite??

Didn't someone mention he came back out of shape after the lookdown?

I would like us to win in the last 5 seconds thanks to a field goal

It has to be as stressful as possible

Is that alright?

Wonder if it's the same for packer

Prob has to get fitness levels up

Madge better have them fired up for this one. Do not take the foot off the pedal, no mercy.

It would be shocking to lose this one. Their forward pack has wooden spoon written all over it. Aside from Arrow the strike they have is Fotuaika and he'd be coming off the bench at most clubs if only because he's so young.

And then the rest. Seriously, try to guess who is starting and on the bench. I've done easier sudoku puzzles: Sam Lisone, Kev Proctor, Erin Clark, Keegan Hipgrave, Tanah Boyd, Cartwright and Jaimin Joliffe.

Complacency could get us but I don't see much else stopping us.

There will be a day when everyone will be extremely happy with the team the Coach has picked ...however that day pigs will fly the cow will jump over the moon and the Sun will not rise in the morning..

And there will also be a day when you don't complain about the complainers giving their opinion

Not holding my breath

Yeah a 28- 4 win would be very embarrassing 🤔

I'd take that... But more then points I'd be happier with 80 minutes of consistent intensity and control

 

[Geo]

1 point will do...

I am happy with any win, even with Brooks field goal!

I've got a bad feeling ill need to dust off the old defibrillator. For some reason we struggle against the bottom teams 🤦‍♂️

I really don’t care what the score is as long as we win.
If we want to be top 8 this is a game we must win.

i agree have a feeling it could be heart attack territory as per usual

 

[Telltails]

I don't think their squad is as bad as some are making out. A good move to drop Peats, and if Ash Taylor can't just play a decent game he has a handy back line outside him. New coach with some cred they are not far off. Any win is a good win at this time of year.
