WESTS Tigers Team V Souths

[Tacky]

LATEST- Malakai Watene-Zelezniak will make his Tigers debut at right centre V Souths tomorrow. Chee-Kam to bench. JJ Felise set to drop off - via Foxsports

Why would we run with 2 second rowers on the bench? Sounds like a really bad idea if you ask me. Also, I assume this means Nofa is a certainty to start.

Josh Aloiai played right in the middle and probably had his best game in a Wests Tigers jersey against the Sharks a fortnight ago…Grant is a prop

I would have Felise there but Chee-Kam covers centre should Nofoaluma go down..I

I reckon Aloiai is a lot better in the middle. LIddle as the dummy half replacement and MCK as a backrow or centre replacement makes sense to me.

He did have a great game against the Sharks, I hope he can back it up. I'm also hoping to see a little more from Chee-Kam playing in the second-row this week.

MALAKAI Watene-Zelezniak will definitely make his Wests Tigers debut on Friday night, and younger brother Dallin will definitely be in the stands at ANZ Stadium, complete with a Tigers jersey.
“He’s always at my games, I’m always at his, and **I might even pull on a Tigers jersey**,’’ said Dallin, the Kiwi

:astonished: Don't tease us Dallin.

But, seriously if one of our players put on another teams jersey while they were playing for us, I'd be pretty pissed.

Should be a pass for brothers though… only way i could stomach it,

Don't know. If Nofa went to go watch his brother play for the Broncos and put a Broncos jersey on, I'd be pretty filthy.

So are we running with 2 second rowers or 2 Props a second rower who covers centre and a hooker and is that a bad idea if I ask you..?

 

[earl]

Off the bench we are playing 2 props, 1 second rower who can play centre & 1 hooker. I think it's fine. Ideally your hooker can go for 80 minutes and you have another prop on the bench but I can understand Liddle being on the bench.

Depends how many minutes Ava can get through in his first stint. Problem is starting 2 props not known for big minutes and having a part time prop on the bench.

 

[jirskyr]

MWZ is a legitimate centre option and MCK is a centre backup, easy decision for me.

We aren't surprised right? I expected a mid-year transfer like this to end up in firsts rather quickly. Jamal going down sealed it.

 

[Tweed_Tiger]

Hopefully our forwards really step up for this game.

[Cosimo_Zaretti]

So the likely lineup tonight is:

1 James Tedesco
2 David Nofoaluma
21\. Malakai Watene-Zelezniak
4 Moses Suli
5 Kevin Naiqama
6 Mitchell Moses
7 Luke Brooks
8 Sauaso Sue

10 Ava Seumanufagai
11 Joel Edwards
12 Chris Lawrence ©
13 Elijah Taylor

Interchange
3 Michael Chee Kam
14 Tim Grant
15 Josh Aloiai
17 Jacob Liddle

That's too light a bench for mine, I like Josh Aloiai but I don't believe he's a prop. I'd rather drop Edwards, start Aloiai in the back row and bring in Felise on the bench.

 

[barra]

Hope that we are ready for Farah to pull out a big game tonight and get their big pack on the front foot against our lighter forwards…

 

[simonthetigerrrr]

Im quite exited about MWZ…....he could be a diamond.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

I'd chance Matty Mc playing 80 mins and play a four forward bench.

 

[innsaneink]

These indigenous round smoking ceremony's just get bigger and more impressive each year
