Wests Tigers Team v Souths Rd 9

[the_third]

Man Chee kam and Lawrence in.

Tough game.

You can thank BJ for that.


I'd rather blame gee or api personally

They didn't belt a guy off the ball.

They set it up so he did. Brain snap or not. If gee had control of the game and took care of the Lucy/McKinnon host (and all the others) he doesn’t do that. It’s a chicken egg thing that has 2 opinions. Both right

I don't think many have been watching Souff's play much this year..understandable I guess..

Slick backs average forwards, fair bit of dropped ball

 

[Madge]

That’s a CRAP team ...the club has no depth , MCK in the centres and Rowdy is that all you have coach 😂 bit of a joke really !

It really is all he's got. Its not like he has too many options. The only other real option is Hoffman, he is the coach and knows more than us about the development of the youngster.

 

[Russell]

Prefer Tim Simona than MCK.

How many bets would he place on Campbell-Graham to score.
He could also sell a few more jerseys and keep the money instead of giving it to the charity it was supposed to go to.

Almost an offence to mention his name.

 

[ElleryHanley]

Did anyone catch the tackle efficiency stats on 360? The Chee has the best for NRL centres, with only 2 missed.

Darius Boyd second...

Honestly, the only reason both are that high is they are both so slow and so terrible that they get to the spot too late for it to register as a stat.

MCK has barely played any center all season also, so there is no way that stat is correct...

And I will dead set walk to QLD barefoot if Darius Boyd is the second best defensive center in the NRL...

The clutch last game against Rabbitohs :muscle:

Agree a game we need to WIN not be competitive and Broncos the week after however they start getting back some troops, still on current form we can beat both these teams and half way 6 and 4 record with 4 games to win at back end to play finals.

Souths in reality have not been great they have dropped a lot of ball and there forwards are not as intense as ours that i have observed.
We also have had an extra days rest although we played a more intense game.
So despite some forum members being pessimistic, if we play like the last few weeks we should WIN and it would be great to watch them play on a Friday night for a change, paying $2.50 opposed to Rabbits $1.54 can see those odds coming in before Friday might have to Multi up on them.

 

[Russell]

Nine news seem to think Benji will be playing ( a little joke with Mbye etc.).

Guess we'll know soon enough.

A few other whispers also.

He 'did' play center one game and was decent enough...Brooks' debut game.

Can't imagine he'd be worse than Chee Kam.

I hope they mean at center anyway. Would hate to see Josh dropped.

Wests Tigers have been boosted by the inclusion of co-captain Moses Mbye, Luciano Leilua and Sam McIntyre for their Round 9 clash against the South Sydney Rabbitohs this Friday night.

After being helped from the field in last week's close loss to the Panthers, Leilua and McIntyre have both been named for this week's game as Wests Tigers look to consolidate their spot inside the top eight.

Mbye's inclusion is also a key one for Michael Maguire's side after a knee complaint last week prevented him from his regular goal-kicking duties.

With Joey Leilua suspended for the next four matches, Maguire has named Michael Chee Kam — who scored the match-winner last time the two sides met — as his replacement in the centres with Chris Lawrence coming on to the bench.

Rookie Reece Hoffman joins the reserves in place of Lawrence, where he joins Benji Marshall, Billy Walters and Russell Packer in the extended squad.

Wests Tigers will provide an updated 19-man squad on Thursday night, before finalising their side to take on the Rabbitohs at 6:55pm on Friday.

1 Adam Doueihi
2 David Nofoaluma
3 Micheal Chee-Kam
4 Moses Mbye
5 Tommy Talau

6 Josh Reynolds
7 Luke Brooks

8 Josh Aloiai
9 Harry Grant
10 Oliver Clark
11 Luciano Leilua
12 Luke Garner
13 Matt Eisenhuth

14 Elijah Taylor
15 Thomas Mikaele
16 Sam McIntyre
17 Chris Lawrence

18 Benji Marshall
19 Billy Walters
20 Reece Hoffman
21 Russell Packer

Expect changes ......

I’d bloody well hope so

If there is that will mean Luciano Mbye or McIntyre don't play so I bloody well hope not...

MCK starting at centre is a terrible decision. He’s been horrible all year.

Are you happy with him starting there?

I don't think anyone is happy with MCK starting against what seems to be a red hot backline but in reality, James Roberts has scored one try in his past about 15 games, Latrell is iffy at best, Dane Gagai self explanatory. Alex Johnston is the only standout. They're not going that great.

 

[JC99]

Rabbitohs have not been good this year. Their only wins are against average teams. Our forwards will be able to roll theirs (if everyone’s fit) and once that happens their outside backs won’t get much room to work.

If we are 1-17 I’m pretty confident we win.

 

[old_man_tiger]

I expect us to win. Souffs switch off in games just like us, maybe worse in recent weeks.

 

[Red88_Tiger]

Garner to left centre Mbye to the right just to change it up a bit.rowdy to back row.
My worry is Latrell. Is due for a good game and he usually plays well against us

 

[JD Tiger]

Shouldn't be hard to motivate the team. Hey Tigers, see Mitchell there, he thought he was too good for us. He thought we were beneath him. What do you think about that?

 

[TonyTiger]

Man Chee kam and Lawrence in.

Tough game.

I’m waving a white flag, Kyle Lovett is back at centre.

Not running off guys like Keary and Cronk anymore.

 

[rustycage]

I'll be tipping Souths in this one. We're gonna struggle

 

[Moh]

NRL360 had top tackle efficiency stats for centres, the clutch was at 1 with 98% 🤣

I get your point but he’s a confidence player. Past experiences help a long way in this instance. Would love nothing more than to see him have a shocker

 

[Tiger Tarl]

Word is Benji training in run on squad. Centre?

He was quiet against bulldogs because they put pressure on him. Don’t give him time and he’s got nothing. Kick at him all game and make him run to tire the big fella out
