Wests Tigers Team v Roosters Rd 2..

[Yossarian]

Looking at that bench I would guess Mbye will give Liddle a rest and Talau covers injuries in the back line/back row..

Last week Mikaele played 35mins Utoikamanu 33 mins Tommy 21 mins and Packer a blistering 11 mins..

Packer
What a legend
How many meters ?

48
All time high

Not bad in 11 minutes

Bloke ran 48m in 4 runs in 11 minutes in a well beaten team but people are still bagging him.

I would have had him in front of Mikaele based off of last game tbh.

Madge made changes last year for a reaction it looks like this year we are more settled. Consistent bad performances will lead to change not on game. We were good for 50 minutes horrible for 30. Performance wasn’t as bad as the score suggested.

We will get beaten by 20 this week irrespective who we select.

 

[Krammy]

Generally happy with the squad, with the exception of Garner. Big Joey needs a Big game as well this week. Tigers by 4.

 

[DGilly]

I don't really mind keeping Garner and Joey in the team for now because we won't win anyway. Better to save Simpkins for a game he can do something in and gain confidence from rather than losing by 30 on debut.

 

[the_third]

No idea why he persists with Kepaoa. The bloke has feet for hands.

He is really poor in that department

Catching the ball really shouldn’t have its own department.

I think it’s in that one with passing, running and counting to 10

We could get beaten by 40 if we really wanted to. Haha

 

[tony soprano]

How many losses before we see the Simpkinseses’s/s?

I’m most looking forward to both of them in the seventeen. I can understand madge sticking with the previous 17. If he is going to drop non performing players from round 1 then atleast 7 or 8 shouldn’t be there and that’s not going to happen after one game.

Agree starting to think Madge doesn’t know what he is doing

You must have missed my point. Whilst I would like to see Simpkin and Simpkins in the 17, I don’t think it would be wise to make wholesale changes after one round. I agree with madge here.

You’ll see

No point peaking to early

 

[tony soprano]

Roosters come on top due to bench

 

[Aesopian]

Can understand giving guys a chance to redeem themselves. If guys like Liddle and Joey can't improve from last week they need to be dropped though - I would include Garner but I don't see any of the other options doing a better job. Chee Kam is just as bad defensively and **Tuki Simpkins bas barely even played league**

It's not too complicated a game. Even Rugba Leegue players can figure it out

I saw 3 runs from packer with a total of about 5 meters
I must have missed the 4th run
I seriously did not think he had any kind of impact in the game
There was certainly nothing to get excited about from him
I want to see him run like he did at Matterson last year
And what's with the 11 minutes
Surely he is capable of pumping out more minutes then that
Where is his aggression when he runs
If all he can muster is 11 minutes a game then we need someone else to take his place in the team
Someone who is hungry and someone who has a future in our team
Packer has neither
We need our bench players to all pull their weight if we are to make the 8

Why did Madge only give him 11 mins
Why pick him ?

Get past it mate! Average footballer at best despite your 1000 posts to the contrary. Geez!

 

[tony soprano]

Surely Madge uses mbye as a Conor Watson 13 type role and Liddle still plays the 80.

If mbye goes to hooker we are in trouble

You have to ask Madge that ?
I think Simpkins could handle Nrl for 11 minutes a game and that would be much more beneficial to our team long term
Who knows he might do very well and surprise a few like Blore did last year
I just dont see the point in Packer being given 11 minutes
If he could put in a good 30 to 40 minutes then that's a different story
That's my opinion for what it's worth

If Madge is going to play packer he needs to start him ..
At least get 20-25mins out of him

I'm over it mate. Was just relevant to the conversation. Relax
