Wests Tigers Team v Parramatta..

[jrtiger]

Is Kepoa marking Ferguson or Siva? Either way it doesn't look good for West Tigers. Replace Kepoa with MBye otherwise likely to be a landslide against WT.

Fergo. both will make as many mistakes as each other.

18 - 21 kill any hope every week haha. Cmon Madge at least put Simpkin/s there so we get excited.

We have proven nothing with one win, just like we thought we were heroes after a trial game. Go out there and leave everything on the field.

 

[WT2K]

As expected. Bring on the eels.

watch Jake Simpkin leave to another club soon not even in the 21

Chill. It's only round 4. He's played 3 games of professional rugby league having not played a game for 18 months.

He's a mile better than Mbye and probably better than Liddle at this stage. He should be in the 17 and it's pretty silly that he isn't.

I reckon you are right and it's the right move for the team but I can understand giving him time playing reserve grade. He is only 19.

Surely he gets a chance at some point this season and if he continues to play to the level he seems capable it'll be hard to drop him.

Liddle is also off contract this season whereas I think we have Simpkins for another 2 years.

No surprises there!

If he could play Fullback,Wing,Centre 5/8 and half back he can take Mbye's spot in the meantime he'll have to bide his time in NSW CUP and keep gaining experience as a lot of young players have to do.

Liddle can’t play 80 so we need someone to cover him. Mbye is hopeless at hooker. I don’t believe he should have to bide his time if he is good enough (which he is).

The thing is, IF we had of lost...Kepoa would have been gone.

A player should not 'survive' based on the rest of the team.

He has directly led to 12 points against us two weeks running...24 points.

You can't carry that...should have been proactive and removed him.

He may not do much as a hooker but he does what is needed and if a back goes down who gonna call.

This 100%.

Unacceptable that he was not dropped.
No accountability. No standard.
Haven’t seen him break a line or find space or show any pace.

We may not need a back but we will definitely need a hooker.

We may not need a back but we will definitely need a hooker.

And more points. And better ability limiting theirs scored.
We may have got a win under our belt but we're still sitting at 13th just above a depleted Cowboys team. Our For & Against is terrible and the team needs to include both our best attacking and defensive options/team.

I'd be extending Liddle as well. You need two decent options at 9

Talau did well at centre, don't think moving him to the wing is the right move. Unfortunately that's means AJ stays at wing by default

My complaint about the situation is not the team selection, but the fact we don't have another genuine option for the wing who isn't a reserve grader or someone who's more a centre than a winger. Club should've planned ahead instead of desperately trying to sign Naden now.

Well, they did try hard to get Mansour didnt they? Edit- I'd still love Corey Thompson to be on 1 of our wings. Gave his all. Never doubted him

If Cini can play NRL(?) he deserves a chance ASAP.

I don't think we have options for the wing to replace the kid. Aj is thr best of a limited bunch IMO. He did make some good metres. Good luck fella hope you have a good one.

still gutted we lost out on JAC for next year heh

That's true. Mansour isn't great but he'd be more solid than AJ I think - i was against the Mansour signing though.

He's done well in reserves so far albeit at fullback
