Wests Tigers Team v Saints Illawarra round 12

[Guest]

Cooper has been great in the KOE cup, hopefully he gets a call up tonight and his safe and reliable style of football transfers to NRL level.

Who does he replace?

Roberts to Centre, Cooper to Wing, Talau to WT forum purgatory for last week's effort

I don't think we'll be that lucky.

Very surprised we are favourites for this game. I hope we win because we have Penrith, Parra, Storm and Bunnies after this. Wouldn't be good to be 3-13.

The way we're playing, we will be man

Stefano Utoikamanu & Jake Simpkin drop out of the 21. Michael Chee Kam & Kiah Cooper remain in the 19

Cooper would be cover for JTJ most likely

I prefer it when we are up against the good sides, we usually aim up ok against the best teams (Roosters game aside in round 2). It is when we play the teams we should beat that we really show our lack of progression as a club. Dreading the Bulldogs game, they will look like a powerhouse against us more than likely. Ditto the Sharks.

Agreed most of our good games lately seem to be against quality opposition.

It has been that way for nearly all of our existence. That's a worrying sign. Apart from our good teams in '05 and '09-'11 we have a real issue with holding our nerve against teams we should beat. Let alone rack up a good winning margin. That is the most frustrating thing as a supporter, so many blown opportunities to show some resolve, some killer instinct and keep moving forward towards the business end of the ladder.

That’s interesting

Our boy cheeks is due for a run

I hope not. Don’t think he has anymore clutch moments left.

We have lacked consistency - we're not that good that we can assume the strength of the opposition.

Young developing team + a still unsettled spine = erratic outcomes

Neither...

Chee-Kam is the quintessential No. 18 in the entire NRL..

Worst defender to have ever played. I would have Blind Freddy in the team before MCK.

There's worse than him out there but he's been clutch for us in the past.

Too slow for centre, too little for second row.
The perfect average utility.

That's Amoneeeee 🎵

Hope he belts someone.

That's Amoneeeee ?

Hope he belts someone.

Looks like he's been belted himself

Makes him look scarier to the opposition...
