WESTS Tigers Team V Panthers...

[Icon]

What a shame we won't go into this game with the best possible team we can field, at such an important junction.

I've stayed away from the politics of all this but i follow the team, and the team is not the best it can be, and that's disappointing.

Lets hope next year when we all have high expectations, the Footy Gods to conspire against us in other ways.

For anyone still asking why Farah hasn't been picked…..

"I feel I am getting treated differently to some others," Farah said.

"I will continue being professional and try and keep my mouth shut and try not to do anything wrong because I think that is what they are trying to get me to do. But I think I am a bit smarter than that."

There's your answer. You don't publicly criticize and separate yourself from your club then expect to get called back up. He's made his bed.

Give it a bone GNR
You are righ though( partly)
He is being treated differently, . As has been shown that the same players can stuff up time and time again , but every week they're are still there,
Taylor is well on his way to cutting his own throat
If we lose the next three, whose he going to blame.
I forgot it's not about winning :roll
For this club that could be true,

This kills me this. He is 100% correct. He should be picked because he is the best option at dummy half and the club should step in and resolve this issue.

Still I hope we win this game. We have 2 of our best players out but we can still win it.

 

[Flippedy]

Pretty much as expected I suppose. There was no need to bring Farah back in because of an injury to Tedesco - that makes no sense. Nice to see JAC there, but my only concern is the goal kicking still not being addressed. Why continue with 2 players, who have not improved at all this season when we have an ace kicker in reserves who is a pretty handy utility as well? I just don't get it.

 

[Knuckles]

Disappointing but not surprising …. Our short lived excitement regarding the top 8 looks exactly that ... Maybe next year as we always say.

Give it a bone GNR

Give it a bone alright. You know all about that. We won 3 in a row with the same line up, including beating the premiers, a game you yourself said we'd get a reality check against after ''easy games'' again Parra and Saints. Now after a one point loss you're back and its the end of the world again.

 

[Knuckles]

The Cowboys formline doesn't appear as strong as we thought judging by their match against the Roosters.

Well that is how you treat a bloke who has given his blood and sweat to this club by leaving him stranded on 247 club games well done JT you are a grub sooner you are gone the better, and before I get inundated with the Taylor side, his statement that he will pick the best side to win games is just like everything that has come out of this blokes mouth for the past 16 months has been s***
Farah deserved to play 250 for our club like him or hate him

Since when does anyone have the right to play 250 games.? If that is a factor in picking a team, you need to get serious help. Whether Farah should be in this team is a matter of opinion, but picking someone on a certain number if games is ridiculous.

The coach will have to live and die by the only measuring tool available. Results.

It is a fairly solid looking team, hasn't been too much disruption and will be good to have Brooks back. Not sure who will fill in at dummy half but that hasn't necessarily been a pressing issue in our last few wins.

 

[gallagher]

No Pat Richards?
It's the best side we can put out. We're still in the fight.

Agreed 100%

And that's your third and final warning MAFIA. Find yourself another forum.

Surprised to see JAC over Hunt.

I have a bad feeling we are going to get found out as pretenders this Friday night. We have given a good account of ourselves and over achieved somewhat, but I don't think a team can match up against real premiership contenders without a genuine dummy half, whether it be Farah, Cherrington or Liddle. This is our season on the line, come Friday it's all over or we continue on with some hope. Our for and against could be the deciding factor if we are still in contention by the final round.

How many have been dropped to the forum's state cup team in the past 4 weeks?

I think the Panthers will jump out of the blocks quickly and could put a score on us. Hope I'm wrong but I think they have more attacking options than us and we'll only really get them if their ball control is abysmal.

Yeah not confident on this one.. Panthers have been playing well and while I still believe we can match anyone on our day, we really lack focus and composure at times. The Panthers will get us in that area too.

Actually I think most coaches would think it was very important to ensure that a one club player had the opportunity to play his 250 games and be acknowledged for it.
I am sure with any other player Taylor would feel the same.

If we lose, it will be because Farah did not play. (which is a load of crap). But if we win, it will be because Penrith did not play well etc. etc.

:blah

Give it a rest col… Go the Tigers, let's give it to these Panthers!!!

 

[notarealtiger]

Good to see JAC back in there. I think that's probably the best team we could field. Only change I'd make is bringing in MCK for Lovett.
