Wests Tigers Team V Penrith * Official

[balmain boy]

I wonder if people realise McQueen is the perfect guy to pick as a replacement player as we're not preventing the development of a young player by leaving them out of nsw cup (eg momirovski, eiso) and so if he doesn't play on the weekend all our teams end up strong and our future isn't compromised.
If an accident does happen he's an experienced second row/prop who could do a job for 20-30 mins off the bench if absolutely necessary.

Think it was pretty similar lack of effort that allowed them to stroll through for the near length of the field try.

Wet track out penrith..more rain to come

Team finalised. Don’t like bench. Eisenhuth needs to prove he can bend the line imo.

@Tiger_Steve What bench would you prefer?

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Well that’s the point I suppose. Personally I think there’s more chance McQueen will rise to the occasion than Eisenhuth. I was a real fan early but to me Eisenhuth was tepid back half of last year.

Eisenhuth put in MOTM performances in both his Canterbury Cup apperances..if that's not rewarded then what's the point..

Also Mikaele is in the Prop rotation replacing him with Eisenhuth rather than McQueen is more like for like ..maintains the bench balance..

 

[Tiger_Steve]

Yep I get both those points. Like for like is important

 

[Smellmyfinger]

Excited to see Eiso's input. I think his game is going to go to a very effective level under what Madge requires. Cleary used him all wrong. Head down bum up, run hard and high work rate see's this guy play an important role. Also look forward to Makeale fighting his way back.

If Mikaele isn't injured than I'll be pretty disappointed that he got dropped after 1 lazy display, considering how well he has played over the weeks

Sheens used to do the same with rookies. Give them a taste then put them back on reserves to let them work on their game.
