TEAM LIST Wests Tigers Team v Gold Coast Titans

[Merlot]

WestTigers need 2b blowin 2 bits .so we can rebuild .properly

 

[Curaeus]

Titans falling in a hole and blowing a huge lead in their last game is pretty encouraging. I think our guys will be fired up for this game. Will be tough to win up there but anything is possible if we get a fair shake from the officials and a bit of luck.

 

[Tcat]

Peachy and Nofa on very thin ice for me. If they pull out the same dog crap this week, they are dropped for Toa and Rua and leave them in reserves for long enough for them to realise how bad they are.

The rest of the team should count themselves lucky that there's not much depth atm to replace them with and if I was Madge I'd be communicating that message quite clearly.

 

[Bula]

Id have T'oa in there instead of Nofo honestly, at least he attempts to catch a contested high ball.

Dennis Cometti was asked who he would want kicking for goal if his life was at stake. His answer was his mother because at least he knows she cares. To'a cares. Noffa is diligaf.

 

[JC99]

Classic Madge. Keeps the experienced underperformers, drops the young prospects.

 

[BAGNF05]

Old FIFO back in first grade. Another injury or couple of bludgers and his careers cooked I reckon.

 

[BAGNF05]

Ludicrous.

Is firebox a pokie?

Think i might watch the low lights than the actual game based upon the squad that has been picked. Where is the reward for players that show some ticker like T'AO & Seafarth?
Laurie should be dropped after his performances this season.
I would have given Garner an opening spot again based upon his D last week playing out of position. No wonder i don't rate this coach, back the Titans by double digits.

 

[Merlot]

its all on the players.FKEM

 

[tony soprano]

Guys be more positive the misery will be done nice and early in the week.

 

[tony soprano]

I backed Madge last year, but over him completely now, punt him. Picking Laurie after last week is taking the piss.

And nofo. Shows where the club is at

 

[TrueTiger]

I am all for giving chances but lets not play on Daine trying to build his confidence coming back from a leg injury - Madge had to ask him to stop doing flips on his scooter in the offseason. Injury not too blame.

Madge asked him not to do flips on his scooter...ok...but what if riding his scooter was part of his rehab on his leg....unless it was a petrol model not a self propel model...
Still a bit different than being tackled and twisted by an NRL player,look at what Collins done to Hastings,that could have been serious...maybe Daine is much more aware of those sort of things happening in a game rather than a flip or 2 on his scooter if he is careful....

 

[BAGNF05]

The score if last weeks squad played this weeks:
70 - 68

It would be closer to nil all. In previous years our forwards offered nothing in attack and now our backs don’t.

 

[BAGNF05]

I agree with Musgrove starting. Our starting middles would all be toilers if Tamou, Twal and Joffa started. You need some variety with the hope being that Musgrove steps up to fill a similar role that Stefano would have #next-man-up

Every time Musgrove shows any aggression he whacks someone high. So disappointed in him so far.

I’ve been to a few games up there and their crowd is pretty impartial. Doesn’t feel like a hostile environment. That said, we’re in strife.

Starford To'A missing out is a disgrace ...
Every week we give the same players a chance and same results and we have a guy come in last week and played excellent yet gets dropped... Clowns
Hard to defend this when the under performing players know they wont get dropped..

It'll certainly be hard with all our injuries and with Hastings suspended but they have a few out too so who knows. We live in hope!

 

[Merlot]

will they get such a good next contract if they dont,its on them

“Madge had to ask him to stop doing flips on his scooter in the offseason.”
Is this for real? Or are you just having a dig at his age?

The video that left Tigers coach fearing for his star No.1

Daine Laurie is as exciting off the field as he is off it. Much to the horror of Michael Maguire.

TT, riding a scooter was definitely not part of his rehab, nor was doing flips on his scooter. There are much safer ways to rehab a leg injury. I really don't follow the rest of your message sorry.
