TEAM LIST Wests Tigers Team v Melbourne Storm

[DJG]

Poor Mikaele, will be upset giving uncle Wayne a call up to line up with the Dolphins next year now.

Lets hope Wayneo says no.

Regardless, good team IMO.

 

[hammertime]

Don't mind the team, as good as we're going to get for now.

Interesting with Rua, would this be an indication he may be getting an upgrade? Considering he can't play anyway.

I'd say it's just with potential covid, and the injury to liddle, he would be next in line for hooker.

I.e. If simpkins gets covid, rua might jump in.

Looks like there are rules to allow backups outside the 30 this year. Makes sense.

Congrats Oliver Gildart #250 Jackson Hastings #251 and Tyrone Peachey #252 on your Wests Tigers Club debuts..

 

[SeanT]

As expected apart from the 7 reserves. Hopefully they have a good dig

They usually start the year off with 3wins 2 losses and always have a dig. It's the rest of the year that's the problem 😂

Storm can be beaten this year. Just doubt it will be first up

 

[balmain boy]

Brooks is a good option for this game.

He's only one of 2 options starting the game. Chances of Maumolo ever captaining are slim.

 

[TigerJunior4]

No surprises with the lineup. I’d say that Offa has been named at lock because of the wet conditions and having Peachy on the bench provides cover at hooker though I’m hoping he won’t play there. It will be an interesting game and hopefully the team aims up.

So Luke Garner is alive.

Hopefully he is also well.

 

[Bula]

No surprises really

Wonder if Garner will spell Lucy or Tuilagi

You will probably have to give him the first letter.

 

[Tim Sheens]

Correct..Players 22-24 are named as Covid cover Players can only play if the Club is covid effected...and can be outside the Top 30..

Players 18-21 can come in for injury cover some as last year must be Top 30 squad members

Thanks for the explanation.

Best team we could name.
Looking forward to seeing if Simpkin can hold his own and make the 9 his spot this season.
Be interested in how we manage the bench rotation with how the Storm will.

 

[Cobarcats]

The only surprise is Musgrove and Seyfarth ahead of Mikaele.

I dunno, Musgrove showed a bit more aggressive hit ups in that second trial and thats what Madge wants from him akin to his Souths days. The only way to beat storm I believe is to try and meet them in the forward battle, line speed, and big hits.
Seyfarth purely on energy and enthusiasm.
Roberts doesn't perform then To'a replaces him next game.

 

[jrtiger]

as expected. Simpkin needs to take this opportunity with both hands and hit the ground running. stoked to see Tuilagi starting and Seyfarth on the bench. Peach will give us width at 13 when he comes on, just hope we aren't down by 30 by the time he takes the field. decent test first up for Gildart lining up against Reimis Smith who's a good 15cm taller and 10 kilos larger.

Had to laugh when i saw Twal was sponsored by the meat man considering he is a vegetarian,maybe the club is trying to give him a subtle hint

Also found this one pretty funny….
Coach: Michael Maguire — sponsored by Boomer Home Loans
Madge being a sponsored Boomer to go the gazump

I thought last year musgrove would go well then suspension and disaster happened
hopefully he gets back to the player he was when we first signed him he could be very damaging for us.
Mikaele has flipper hands
Garner not a bad bench option it will allow peachey to move to centre or hooker if injuries strike and he runs a good hole in attack and in this weather it could be the difference running of Hastings and Brooks into holes

Agree about Garner’s bench spot, Both starting props (Twal & Stefano) are capable of playing long minutes. With Musgrove and Seyfarth on the bench. Joffra at lock. We have enough middles in the 17. Good get getting Peachy to mix it up around the ruck.

 

[tiger_one]

Is Big Kev listening 'cause I'm excited!

 

[Odessa]

Seyfarth defo deserved to be in the top 17.

Well done.

I love his sponsor 😄

 

[Cobarcats]

Ok I know I one stubby short of a six pack, what's the sponsor stuff mean for each player, please be kind I'm a vulnerable little puppy 🐶

They sponsor the Position not the players personal sponsor..

For example if Tamou was named in Twal's spot he would be brought to you by The Meat Man this week..

Personally Twal OWNS The Meat Man for mine..

Dunno about Garner on the bench he is not an impact player
