WESTS Tigers Team V Souths

[Mac_tiger]

I'd leave JAC out now he's signed with storm, Kev to wing and MCK to centre. Alternatively Peni in for JAC. Otherwise OK.

 

[Swordy]

Let me clarify….
Its on NRL360 so its true, and
Taylor is still sole selector?

Didnt someone say Mark O'NEILL oversights selections or something?

 

[Eddie]

Looks like Robbie really was rested last week… JT showing concern after a tough origin outing.
Much ado over nothing it appears

Rumour Halatau will start.

Maybe he needs another "rest"

Good move …if true... Robbie coming on against tiring forwards will carve up...

..

Since when has Farah been an impact player?

Tried that move against Parra earlier this year.

Grand Total points = 0

You dont think its a chance?

Given

* Taylor still rested Farah even with Ballin out
* Taylor's strange press conference where he refused to asure Farah would back for Souths
* Now rumours on Fox that Halatau trained with the starting team.

Its not like people are plucking this out of thin air.

JAC was forced back into the in goal area twice last week and signed for another team. = Starts this week.

MCK saves a certain try, re-signs with the club for next year = Wears 18 and unlikely to play.

I know which one would be in my 17.

Wasn't that his 1st game of the season…?

Anyway given the make up of the team as it stands doesn't look like he'll play 80 so coming off the Bench playing the rest of the game would be my preference rather than sitting out 10min either side of half-time...

I'm sure he'll be ready...

 

[Eye_Of_Da_Tiger]

I wonder what Halatau has to do to get dropped.

Talk bad about JT

 

[Nelson]

Stupid team as usual. Even stupider if JT starts with Dene at hooker…

 

[Snake]

Nofo and Fro the joke pairing of the NRL ,play to them and there is your 2 points ..does the coach rectify this of course not .i do not know who the biggest Moron is Talyor or the person leaving him in the job ..Tuesday's now are just as bad as Sheens team sheets.non excitement and boring!

 

[greatodensraven]

Benching Robbie could be a good thing. We don't know how he is training, maybe he isn't motivated? He said himself origin is his priority. You'd think he'd come on breathing fire & will hopefully destroy Souths like he did the Warriors late last year.

yep… I'm thinking the same will happen also.

Get On It!

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I'll put money on Farah starting and being first try scorer. JT is rustling jimmies.

The JT hate has gone up tenfold in the last 48 hrs. It's quite amusing.

[diedpretty]

We have 1 very experienced fit out of form hooker ( Farah ), 1 makeshift hooker who doesn't offer a lot anymore (Halatau) and 2 inexperienced youngsters who really aren't up to !st grade standard ( Cherrington and Liddle)
Who do you pick? It really is a no brainer isn't it?

 

[stevied]

A very predictable team. Everyone is giving their opinion so I may as well give mine. I think Chee Kam should start for Naiqama. I like Kev but he's proven to be a defensive liability for too long. I also think Nofo should be demoted but we don't have a ready made replacement who's going to be any better. Same goes for JAC, who some might argue should be left out of first grade for the rest of the season. Again, no replacements except for, maybe Peni ,and I don't think Josh's departure is all his doing…..Keep a match winner there.I would swap Sue for Alouai because of his aggression and line bending ability and I'd also drop Grant in favor of Felise. This might sound crazy but has anyone thought of trying Teddy in the centres? He's a champion fullback but.....he can tackle, has footwork and a fend. I thought Rankin went all right at the back and he has ball skills that could be utilised.....Ok, howl me down, ha ha!

 

[Club_Sandwich]

Very predictable team. No way Naiqama should be there. MCK should be starting Center with Naiqama in reserves. Felise should defo be on the team, at least on the bench. I actually don't mind Dene's selection, at least he's versatile and can play a number of positions if Farah or one of the other forwards go down injured.
Let's hope this is just a draft team list JT sent out to make the deadline for team announcements and a few changes are on the way. Wonder what ONeill thinks of this team list
:sign:

 

[krayola]

I don't know why I bother checking the team every Tuesday expecting to see anything different

Perhaps because only two weeks ago it was different?

Aside from Littlejohn potentially giving the recently re-signed Brooks a spell, it doesn't seem like anyone in reggies has killed it in their previous two losses or over the course of the season. Chee-Kam and JAC have been given call ups.

Some pretty rational ideas actually. Tedesco has a bit of the Dugan about him and would go fine in the centres but he's an amazing fullback.

Let's see how Kev goes with JAC next to him and Nofo w Simona.

 

[happy_tiger]

Here we go again…....jekyl or Hyde this week???

We will get 20 minutes of sheer brilliance and 20 minutes of inept incompetence and 40 minutes of anywhere in between

Whether that 20 minutes of brilliance outdoes the 20 minutes of incompetence is yet to be seen
