WESTS Tigers Team V Parramatta

[TIGER]

I don't see the need to play Benji, Gamble looks capable and it will give him some experience against a Parra side that isn't exactly firing on all cylinders.

A great opportunity to test Gamble at NRL level imo, let Benji fully recover

I think this will be a high scoring game Tigers 24-16

Do we have 24 points in the team? Recent results suggest otherwise and I find it hard to see where points will come from. I hope that I am wrong but if it is again a low scoring defensive game it could again be the toss of the coin.

Line-up will change. Tui and Liddle will play, where and to what extent is the question. I personally wouldn't change Thompson, why fix something that isn't broken. Tui may slot in for Benji, and Liddle could start/come off the bench meaning someone will have to give way.

Lids will play if he gets through the week. Tui is more cover for Benji.

$3 pies end in March so not sure if we get them for our game on Monday 😛ray:

Thompson has been great, really solid and puts in 100%. But he did drop a bomb last week at very very bad time. it was one of those ones you just dont or cant drop if you want to be a fullback.

Id give him the benefit of the doubt for now but one more of them and Id be worried

I’d love to see Sue on the bench for Chee-Kam as I think that is a better balance on the bench, but trust the coach.

MCK showed his versatility when he came on to replace the injured Naiqama. He will be very useful when handling an injury to one of our back 5.

Are you only just figuring this out?

Seeing as how it will be April 2nd, I’m gonna say no.

I may be reading into this a little too much, but Tui at fullback for Monday afternoon?


Also saw Liddle following the forwards around the ruck and was next to Benji on a kick off, maybe I'm over analysing :laughing:

Brooks looks focused and ready for another big game. Go the Mighty Tigers!!!

Dropped a bomb?
Played fullback for two games against big sides.
He Has got us out of our qaurter better than the fullback we had last year.
And digs in every on every play.
I’d rather he drop one than let it bounce.

Ted dropped a pass with an open try line and he's being paid 7 figures.

 

[The_Patriot]

Yes he dropped a bomb, it wasn't an average bomb. It was at a crucial point in the game and just couldn't be dropped.

Tedesco dogged it and gave up on a number of plays last year Tedesco. I'll take Thompson every day of the week.

If it was a one off drop fair enough. But if it's a flaw in his game he won't last at fullback.

 

[innsaneink]

The best fullbacks are dropping spiral torpedo bombs… They're like a late outswinger.. Very difficult

 

[Geo]

At least Thompson has tried to catch every one of them….I've seen our opponents in every game let them bounce...

I don't think he dropped it either more of a bobble when he hit the ground..

His positioning has been outstanding for a guy who hasn't played that many games in the position which includes cleaning up grubbers IMO..a team is yet to score against us from a kick

He has been really good. I hope we sign him up longer term.

Ive seen a few reports where it looks like Marshall will be ok to play.

Does anyone have any news on this, will he play?

OK cool.

Hopefully Tui is back as well as the

 

[Coastie_Tiger]

I think Tui and Benji will play going off those pics, so Noffa or MWZ will drop out. Id be very surprised if Liddle played think he needs some minutes in ISP. Be nice if we could have an 80 min hooker instead of carrying one on the bench.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Is MWZ out?
