Wests Tigers Team v Newcastle Rd 2

[JC99]

Looks to me like the Momo / Grant swap won't happen.

Matty Johns only a few days ago said it’s gonna happen. There was an article on the NRL site saying it’ll happen as soon as Smith is fit. There’s definitely still a chance

I don’t quite understand the inclusion of Momirovski on the bench?

Change could include Momo to centre, Benji to half and Doueihi to 5/8.

 

[Tiger_Steve]

he wont drop jennings he almost scored two tries

Nofoaluma then...?

Dog with a bone or what?

Neither do I. I'd rather keep MCK there for genuine utility value.

I did question have Lawrence and che on the bench one or the other I think it should be

 

[Hangonaminute]

Che can play in the backrow or cover in the backs, I don't understand putting a less versatile player on the bench instead

 

[GNR4LIFE]

MCK seems really out of favour.

You’re trolling about Jennings now. This post confirms it.

Absolutely. Mck is devastating against tired packs.

What do you mean? He's just being sarcastic right?
Jennings runs harder than last season and is still useless....

Lawrence can cover second row if there’s an injury there but our starting second rowers should play 80, Momirovski can cover centre or wing, which means even if there’s an injury to anyone in the backline or in the halves we have someone to cover it, ends up giving us more versatility than having MCK

no i think jennings is ok much better than last year

Garner was average last week...poor missed tackle on Ravalawa when he scored the penalty try. Didn't impress much at all IMO. Wouldn't have minded him in CC, MCK onto the bench and Lawrence moved into the starting side.
Not a big fan of dropping players after 1 ordinary game though, hopefully Garner and Thommo excel vs Knights.

 

[sheer64]

Garner looked punch drunk a couple of time the camera was on him, would not be surprised if it was a missed HIA.

 

[TYGA]

I wouldn’t change much from last week but Coreys errors at fullback are too consistent. I’d move Douehi to fullback, Corey to the wing and bring in Talau Or Momirosvki at left centre. Jennings out of the team.

Love Corey but the errors are not acceptable from the fullback position. It’s hard organising defence, kick returns and attack but he excelled on the wing and Jennings bombed two tries he should have scored.

Probably because he is a better player.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Maybe this gives us the option to shift Doueihi to the back, replace him with a centre and hook Corey. Maybe part of a transition to Adam at the back? Who knows...

 

[swag_tiger]

Do you expect Mikaele to play 40-50 mins again?

How so?

 

[hodgo]

Unlike most im ok with the side. They won and its round 1 they deserve another shot. My only real concern is thommo. He is always good for a costly mistake and I may be wrong but he always seems to be out of position on defence. Cant ever question his heart or passion but i dont think he is a fullback
