Wests Tigers Team v Manly..

[old_man_tiger]

Those saying Mikaele is unlucky, what exactly has he done for us, looks like Tarzan but intimidates nobody.

Has he delivered on potential? No

But why drop him when if anything form is improving in recent weeks, that's what I find baffling. Good luck to young Seyfarth though.

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

surely Joey L comes in for MCK
Madge must like the utility role for Mmbye as we went well when he came on against Parra and Souths, but geez MCK and Seyfarth ....
would have preferred Mmbye at centre and Liddle on bench

Cheeks is better than Joey..
Too many haters and naysayers on here
Pull ya heads in !

Blore named in reserve grade this week ????

This will be two weeks in a row that I'm more interested in reserve grade.

It's a strong lineup in reserves for sure.

He’s a category 4 plodder

Most of the comments will be about MCK in the centres.I fear a Lovett like performance will be the result,he will try his heart out but not have the lateral movement or ability to be succesful.BJ for all his faults is a specialist centre so i hope he will start instead

Literally anyone is better than Joey. Heres hoping we win and win well, and Chee Kam has a blinder.

Don’t expect MCK to start, Mbye to centres

Need the score breakdown please mate. It is a big call, unless you are giving too much weight to wrongness of head.

 

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Mikaele dropped. Surely Amone is nearing.

 

[hobbo1]

More importantly who is the ref ?
@Geo

Try scoring ability - no stars
Speed - no stars
Hole running ability - no stars
Wrongness of head - no comment, too scary
Big hits that scare people - no stars

Seyfarth and MCK have played well in State Cup and both deserves their selections.
Saying that, a lot of people seem to get worked up over the team list before Madge has a chance to finalise it.

Mikaele?

Madge got it right with Kepaoa last week, so I'll back him with Chee Kam this week.

Not sure what's going on with Mikaele. Has gone backwards since his rookie year. Maybe struggling with injury? He does okay in his limited minutes. Seyfarth has earned another go at FG though, so well done to him on a recall.

Is the lawnmower man playing for the other mob. If so I would have preferred Amone. Would love to see us flatten old mate.

 

[Chicken_Faced_Killa]

Surprised MCK comes into the centres since he has been playing backrow in reserve grade. Not a big fan of both Seyfarth and Garner on the bench at the same time but interested to see how it plays out.

Mikaele?

Correct, justifying my classification of grade 4 plodder

 

[JC99]

Mikaele has had a few decent runs while Seyfarth has been excellent. People want accountability and rewarding reserve graders well this is it.

Seyfarth has averaged 127 metres a game, tackled at 95% efficiency, grabbed a try and works his butt off every game. Hard work deserves to be rewarded, no he won't have the impact that Mikale can have off the bench but he'll do a good job

Major issues with the team is Ofahengaue still on an edge and Chee Kam at centre. I'd swap Ofa and Garner and put Joey in for Cheeks.
