Wests Tigers Team v St George Rd 1

[851]

I noticed Stefeno Utoikamanu didn’t even get a reserve spot for the Eels🤥🙄

The scum wouldn't release him to us where he would have played, then don't even pick him in the 21 man squad, I hope the dogs smash them

They have him for a back up only on minimum wage ... the young guy would of made triple this season at the Tigers and would of pressed for a bench spot at least .. such a grub of a club that lot even though they were with in there rights .

Has AD played much at Centre?

Maybe they switch later in the game AD FB, CT Wing & RJ to centre?

Karma will catch up with Parra..... I hope.

One thing I noticed in all those lineups is , the bench structure . With a stark contrast to a few years ago , every team has a back rower ,2 bigs and a back/dummy half , Reynolds type . I guess the Era of the big packs is over

Played a few games for the Rabbitohs there assisted a few tries and scored one there. He can do a solid job there but probably wouldn’t expect anything spectacular. Most of our attack hopefully goes down the right side anyway.

What happened to Packer supposedly being fit and ready to fire this season?

Had to get surgery will be out 6 weeks. Had pain in his foot when running - he does look slimmer though

That's our best 17 bar Mbye IMO. Good squad

 

[Elderslie_Tiger]

We're going to have to wait until 5.15pm on Sunday to see what team MADGE runs out ATM we have a good 21 strong squad final 17 will be interesting

 

[Strider]

Me personally, if you buy a fullback, play hm at fullback, how is he going to settle in

Exactly, unless they want him to settle in to centre position, what's the point of gaining experience at centre. Wonder if it changes.

Not sure about Lawrence in the 17, offers nothing in attack, would have liked MCK who has that X factor about him.

You've missed him running into holes off Brooks I see

No I haven't, they are becoming less frequent due to a couple of reasons imo, Brooks throws a bullet pass which is non catchable, but also Lawrence can't break the line unless there is a gap like the Sydney Heads, great guy, but imo one season too long.

He was a bit sneaky with his team lists last year but not sure if he’ll do it this week

‘Non catchable’ is an overstatement. Garner, Chee Kam and Lawrence score majority of their tries off the short pass from Brooks. It’s probably his best pass

He is out 6-8 more weeks. NRL Physio said he had another op.

Given he apparently did not even do a single session with the team all summer, I very much doubt we see him again in firsts.

Hopefully a med retirement...???

 

[Tiger_Steve]

No real surprises here. I’m a Rowdy supporter and I know he won’t let us down but I am surprised he’s bagged a spot. I pleased though. Sorry to the fan club but I don’t see what some others see in MCK. Sure he had a couple of brilliant moments last year making the most of a couple of opportunities but I just think his defence is very inconsistent

 

[GNR4LIFE]

How much would you have gotten for that centre pairing last September I wonder.

Had to get surgery will be out 6 weeks. Had pain in his foot when running - he does look slimmer though

But his wallet is getting fatter and fatter.....

Hopefully doesn't drop the wallet on his toe...

Feel for MCK. The hooker dilemma has likely cost him a spot.

He obviously didn't show much in trials or train that well i assume. Could still be smoke and mirrors but I doubt it
