Wests Tigers Training Friday February 1st

[Tiger_Watto]

Looked sharp, but then again, they knew no one wanted to hurt them?!

Koro looks good, although, he should've passed that ball…

We need destructive backrowers... Does 'T' have the lungs?

I've only seen Taqele play a handful of minutes in the NYC at centre a year or two ago. From all reports in the off season he has great movement for such a big guy. Would it be worth bringing him off the bench as a Tony Williams type player in the backrow rather than putting him in the front row where he will simply cart it up again and again? Does he have enough of a dynamic game to be a danger in the backrow?

Who is this guy? Never heard of him but sounds very promising.

Picture this , the biggest player at teh club who can dust Rowdy over 40 metres Plays prop or wing

I'd ask the same question as Watto , how will his fitness cope with the step up ??

I'd be looking to use him as a wide running backrower rather than a prop.

if he has been putting in at training like all the other players than he should handle it the same as the rest.and lets face it he will only play short peroids in the game, as long as he is used from the bench he should kill it.

Has anyone else noticed Masada Iosefa's absence in recent photo galleries and videos and Joel Luani's move up to the NRL squad? Has iosefa got an injury or something?

Thanks for looking mate, but I thought that was Mosese Fotuiaki?

Sounds like Tamou from the Cwoboys who chased down Benji at C/Town …

Thanks Willow It may have been the quality of the footage but it looks to me like Benji and Rowdy may have bulked up a bit

Don't mind them putting some bulk on , but if you asked me what I'd prefer for both Benji and Rowdy is for them to get their speed back

They aren't going to get that by bulking up

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

Five-eight Benji Marshall was in brilliant form in his Red Wests Tigers New Era cap, scoring and setting up numerous tries.

I wonder if Benji goes home wishing he could play against Wests Tigers defence every week…

At least now Benji can look left or right and have Koroibete one side and Taqele the other backing his line break up

Lawrence is apparently tipping the scales at 100kg this year, but from the video footage at training that I have seen, he also seems to be moving well, probably the best he's looked for a couple of years TBH.

 

[Mulga_Bill]

"he also seems to be moving well"
I'd be more impressed to see him moving well then weighting more
- so I am hoping your right on the money Willow.

Actually on that video it looked like Lawrence went with Koro when the winger lit the afterburners… I know it was just a small video grab but it was the fastest I've seen Chris run in some time.
