We'll miss Sue's 9m in attack…

Especially 8m out from the Maggots try line :wink:

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

Coaches call:

Josh aloiai is fit and ready to play against the eels will come in for Michael Chee-kams place to add even more size to that bench. Also Malakai wetene-zelezniak will not swap with Kevin Naquima as he is not a centre but rather a winger and Kevin can play in the centres

u

Is this legit or an imposter?

Gee don't mind that bench actually.

All decent sized buggers

All can line up on the edges and BELT Mitchel Moses.

I agree, the bench actually looks alright. Hopefully we can get one over the Eels.

 

[TSupps05]

Once MCK gets swapped for either Aloiai or Felise we will have a good bench, better off carrying 4 forwards then 3, half of them run out of steam after 10 mins and then we are stuck with one hooker that'll get 15mins of game time.

Keep the big boys coming in allllll daaaay loooonnnng

 

[underdog]

If aloiai is up for it its also against his former team. He'll rip in

 

[TIGER]

Whoever is in our pack they need to muscle up against this Parra pack and stop their go forward, the Parra forwards all run hard and with purpose.
I can see them punching holes in us once they win the ruck. Big test for these young fellas.

 

[jadtiger]

Oh dear Kev picked in the centres i fear the worst

 

[Tigers4ever]

Keen to see the Wests Tigers put in an 80 minute effort. Minimize mistakes and show the "Tiger Spirit." Looking forward to the game. Build on the positives and eliminate the negatives. :sign: :sign: :sign: :sign:

 

[bp_tiger]

remember how they tore us apart down the edges last time.

 

[jirskyr]

We had Parra covered last time then fell apart late, we are good enough to beat them if we play for 80 mins. I back our ability to post points against Parra, I reckon they are fairly leaky, question is if we can defend our line.

Gosh gosh gosh I so hope Slimy stuffs up and or gets smashed. I'm with stryker that's my Xmas wish early, the rest of the season can swan on by so long as Slimy gets trampled and lets in a few gaping gap tries.

That backline is the worst defensive backline in the comp…..not one of those players knows how to defend Teddy included.
If I was Parra, my game plan would be edge runners and numbers down short side esp Nofo side (bloke cannot stay on his man for life or death).
Hate to say this but Parra will romp this in.

nah id run em all day at kevvie

noffa isnt that bad, hes just been defending outside bad centers the last couple of years (mostly kevin). its better to rush in and force a pass if they're just going to run inside you and past the center

more passes equals more chance of error. running it is a higher % play

I think the time for excuses for Nofa are almost over. He has played outside at least 3 different centres in the past few seasons all with same result. There is no excuse for him standing on the centres toes leaving opposing wingers open.

Some magpie muscle would not hurt either.

 

[earl]

Nofo is great but blaming everyone else for him coming in is crazy.

Happy to see muscle and spirit wherever it comes from.

Blaming a winger for our defensive problems????

Lawrence and Edwards out for Aloiai and Lovett

 

[Masterton]

Wests Tigers second-row forwards Chris Lawrence and Joel Edwards have both been ruled out of the Round 20 NRL Telstra Premiership clash with the Parramatta Eels at ANZ Stadium on Sunday.

Josh Aloiai and Kyle Lovett come off the reserves bench and have been listed in the starting side by coach Ivan Cleary. The Tigers have until one hour before kick-off to finalise their 17-man team.

No early changes for the Eels, with David Gower and Peni Terepo the remaining reserves after coach Brad Arthur trimmed his 21-man squad today.
