Wests Tigers Team v Penrith Rd 8

[Jedi_Tiger]

Really worried about Cleary kicking game, AD is playing great but his positioning at kicks can be a bit suspect given lack of games.
Not a huge Cleary fan but he is a good halfback

God I hope we thrash this pool scum

Well i would not say they played great against the Rabbits as they made lots of mistakes, It's a game we can win based upon the last few weeks effort or at least go close. Slightly confident as i Tipped them lol

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

AD & Mikaele both carrying knee problems AD expected to play Mikaele covered by Lawrence/ Packer.

The Panthers have a number of players carrying bumps and bruises with Nathan Cleary (quad/infection), Viliame Kikau (shoulder), Api Koroisau (eye), Jarome Luai (shoulder), Brent Naden (neck) and Liam Martin (neck/shoulder) all picking up knocks. Cleary, Luai, Naden and Martin all trained and will play with Kikau and Korisiau both also expected to play. Watch for a late change to the 17 with Brent Naden coming in to replace Dean Whare at right centre. Josh Mansour will return after missing the game last week.

 

[JC99]

Would be good if Naden played centre his defence is woeful and Mbye could shut him down with his defence.

Penrith have given away more 6 agains than any team in the competition we need to take advantage of it. Grant can lead the way in that regard

 

[TigerSJ]

No doubt they have a great squad and Api has added a lot as well. We will have to play very well to stick with these guys as I am pretty sure they will be around come finals time. It's all in the D - we need to be absolutely committed in D for 80mins and the rest will take care of itself.
I have said it for the last 3 weeks but I would replace MCK with Benji just because of what he can possibly provide in options.

It is absolutely imperative that pressure be put on Cleary to disrupt his kicking game.

It is also important to tackle Cleary, Api and Kikou as soon as they have the ball - if they get rid of it, so be it but three very dangerous players won't have it.

Ware if he is out, is a bonus - always pulls out a smashing game against us.

Why I'd be tempted to play Packer ....he loves bashing kickers ...and he hates Cleary's ...perfect combination

In this game, with that as his job, I would be all for it. Smash away.

The one game I'd be disappointed if he wasn't fronting the judiciary afterward.

And expecting a Les Boyd type penalty ??

It would be worth it. It would raise my opinion of the man dramatically.

If he did a Boyd - Brohman type thing you'd be impressed that he broke THAT jaw (not that I'm condoning it )

I thought you were emphasising the 12 month plus suspension.

Well if he does that he'll get that type of suspension

I'm not condoning it either, but if I saw that sort of passion from the man I would be impressed, as it would show that he has real drama with how the Cleary rubbish went down, and I can relate to that.

McIntrye AND Chee Kam on the bench is a waste of a spot. MCK basically has no role and won't be used much.

Packer would give the bench much better balance, especially with one or two of the props carrying minor injuries.

 

[JC99]

We will be 1-17 according to madge

You can’t not have a second rower on the bench. If there’s an injury there and Chee Kam isn’t there McIntyre can slot in but then our props all play more minutes. Chee can also cover centre if needed.

Disagree regarding mclntyre, has has been very solid his last 2 games
MCK is a decent utility, but i would put packer on the bench imo
