Wrong thread.

I don’t think Tupou is ready for NRL but I do think the experience at NRL level will be huge for his development. Might be just what he needs to push him to the next level.

Good luck Junior!

Completely agree. Haven't seen much of him and there's a good chance he'll struggle at top level right now, but to me he just has something that makes me think he could become a really good player.

Good luck JT (there's no other current or former players well known as "JT" are there?)!

We've copped so many injuries and then we get another two. Good luck to the two guys coming in.

Agree.
I can't get a read with some these posts since the changes announcement.
I can't see what the club could do if the injuries to Roberts, Gildart and Kepaoa are fair dinkum.
Bringing these two in is a big gamble, I just hope we can at least win the middle battle so these lads aren't defending all night in our end of the field.

It will be a hard game with so many changes ....if the team goes out and does their job together and stick to the gameplan,then things may go ok for them,I just hope the 2 young guys dont get overwhelmed and perform well...

This game will be a real test of the teams intestinal fortitude,Cowboys wont be easy as they have been going very well this year...

Tigers to win with a gutsy display.....

Harking back to a few comments posted earlier on this thread.

One thing I have loved about the tigers this season is that yes, it is a pretty poor squad, but the games they try their hearts out and take it right to the 'bigger' teams with far better players for 80 minutes really make me proud.
I don't subscribe to the notion that a rugby league club is 100% on field results driven.
To me there is so much more to it. Like no fwits in the side (culture if you will), good sportsmanship (corny, yes, but true) and really really putting in week in week out competing not only to the best of their ability, but punching well above their weight.
Look at Leilua's attitude this season and compare it to Moses and Matterson crying their way out.
To me this epitomises the difference between win at all costs and having a team I'm proud to follow.

I would rather have an armchair general on the end of my backline than Crossan, he was a disgrace to NZ, he is still mocked mercilessly over here.

U obviously a first grader yourself Nuts to be able to have such an opinion on someone who actually made the grade , how many top grade games did u play ?And even if the bloke got picked for his country then some selection committee picked him

I hope we continue to commit for a full game.

Exactly! 😊

It's a forum... Opinions are quite common....

Our outside backs need to get their hands dirty and take some of the responsibility away from our forwards who have been adequate most games this year. If the young outside backs play nervously or shy away today it could get ugly. Cows are airborne at the moment.

I think "adequate" is underselling them a bit!

We are 2/9

 

[TurnStyle]

We are 2/9

And they are also dropping down the ladder this weekend and they haven't even played yet! 🤣

In any case, you think they've been adequate, I think they've been good. 😉

look at the rest of the backline and the reserve players. The backline will be pulling guys from Ryde-Eastwood soon. We’ve been smashed

If we don't have bad luck atm then we've got no luck, just can't seem to catch a break with the injuries.
