TEAM LIST Wests Tigers Team v Manly

Team List
I wonder if the plan is for seyfarth and kelma to focus only on defence and try scoring opportunities no dirty Carry’s for them hence the 3 middle forwards on the bench
 
Had to have a little chuckle at this snippet from another DCE/Hastings article:

"Manly have been struck by injuries in the leadup to the game - winger Jason Saab (toe) and centre Brad Parker (knee) have both been sidelined, although they will be fortified by the return of fullback Tom Trbojevic."

FMD....do the media do any and i mean any research at all anymore?? Have a look at our injury list FFS.

Apart from defence being on point across the board, the back 3 are going to have a big job trying to get metres early in the sets this week. I feel like To'a would pick up that he needs to push up in the middle more, but don't think he has the fitness to do it.
 
I don't know what you can expect Brooks/Hastings to do with people that backline. Brooks has usually played behind beaten forward packs but what has never been talked about is that our weakest position since 2012/13 has been centre. Simona, Leilua, Roberts, Talau etc had a good game here and there but overall a lack of centre/speed options really cripples a playmaker.

I think maybe Gildart and Kepaoa switch positions in defence. AJ has horrible hands and Gildart can't make a right decision at centre.

We will be lucky to score 2 tries this week so let's hope our defence is on-point.
