Wests Tigers Team v Melbourne..

Good too see McIntyre rewarded. Disgusted to see Reynolds and Packer rewarded.

Having those two guys in the team is indefensible. They don’t deserve to be there and they shouldn’t be there.

Reynolds is probably only purely there because brooks is suspended. Chucking madden into this game is like throwing a pig to a pack of wolves

agreed. having to defend against Melbourne's pack would kill his career in 80 minutes. hopefully he has a decent pre-season and makes his debut at some point in 2021.

You would also have all the couch potatoes online crucifying him for getting thrown into the deep end and not performing. Would ruin his confidence

I don’t care, I wouldn’t have Reynolds there under any circumstances. Play AD at 6 and AJ at 1.

Yeah I wouldn’t be against that move

Storm by plenty looking at this lot

 

[sleeve]

i think they realise this season is over and showing unwanted players to prospective buyers is a smart move.

Club is trying to "showcase" Jrey and Packer to other clubs with the hope of offloading them next year

 

[gallagher]

man why play reynolds???

I think its great to play Reynolds and Packer. Give them a chance to improve the relationship with the club. See if we can get some use of them next year, not a total waste.

I think Packer has had ample opportunities. Put a line through him

They can showcase Packers 3 hit ups and J Rey’s tripping skills lol...
They ain’t going nowhere

 

[Strider]

Jrey was awesome till he joined us 🙃 Go Jrey have a good game.

 

[Russell]

Why is Grant in the 9 and Liddle out of the side when we can’t make finals and Grant has said numerous times he’ll be back with Melbourne next year?

Why is Lawrence anywhere near first grade? Good servant or not, he should of hung them up years ago!

Packer and Reynolds back in is also laughable. Think Madge has lost the plot

Hello, Just as a side light.....

The idea is to win the game.

If they finish in twelfth or thirteenth place, I'll bet you'll be one of the first to scream blue murder.

The more they play the lower their value will be. They’re both hopeless.

 

[momo_amp_medo]

So much for planning for 2021...

Ancient mariners in the halves...

Why not experiment a bit.

Because they’re in shop window and that’s the priority for the club right now. Geez It’s not like we’re going to win the comp.

 

[Vince Farrar]

I have assumed the fetal position humming rock a bye baby gee it feels comfortable !

 

[tig_prmz]

I think BJ is past it and should be used as utility on the bench

Talau/Douehi/Momo (when he's back) should be the first choice centres for me

 

[JC99]

I don't understand Packer's inclusion. He's not been a plus for us at all this season whereas ET has made things happen against the Roosters, Rabbits and Manly.

A bit surprised about Liddle's exclusion too. If one of the 6, 7 and 9 get injured we don't have many players who can direct our attack.

ET is off contract and already said he’s not gonna be at the club next season. Packer is contracted with us another season unfortunately

Didn't ET cop a knock last week?

You’re right a nasty head Knock and he’s had plenty of those over the years. No point risking him

Yes you’d think being out of finals contention he might’ve blooded some young guys and kept Liddle in. Instead we a team that includes 3 guys who won’t be with us at all next season and 2 who we have been trying to offload for the past 2 years!

Agree.
I’m also fast losing faith in Madge.

you cant polish a turd but u can roll it in glitter

 

[Harvey]

Good to see a focus on the future. There has obviously been a rip in the space/time continuum.

Wests Tigers Coach Michael Maguire has named his side to take on the Melbourne Storm this Saturday at Sunshine Coast Stadium.

With Luke Brooks suspended for one match, Josh Reynolds returns to the run-on side and will start at five-eighth alongside captain Benji Marshall in the halves. Marshall will once again captain the side with Moses Mbye sidelined, while Joseph Leilua returns from an ankle injury to take his place in the centres.

Sam McIntyre earns a start in the back row with Luke Garner dropping back to the bench, while Zane Musgrove returns for his first game since picking up an injury in Round 6 against the North Queensland Cowboys.

Rookie halfback Jock Madden has been named on the extended bench alongside Tommy Talau, Jacob Liddle and Michael Chee Kam.

20. Jock Madden
21. Jacob Liddle

Coach: Michael Maguire

Would of rather seen Madden get a run than Reynolds.
Packer strange decision so think someone on the bench will change maybe Liddle instead.

Shows the lack of depth we have when looking at the 21 man squad, lets hope no injuries in the last 2 rounds with existing contracted players as these are nothing games other than where we finish on the ladder.

Lawrence don't mind his selection means he will play 3 games in a row before retiring on 253 games that some achievement.

Line maybe 14+ on these selections.
Based upon prior games take the line.

Tigers always play well against the storm so expect a bold showing only lost by 2 points last game and we WON by 1 in 2018. Looking forward to the hookers going at each other.
