17 Luke Garner

18 Tuki Simpkins

I would drop Cini if there was a Reggies winger eligible to play but only centres are in the top 30
Twal only made 22 tackles @ 100% efficiency last week, put him back to lock to make more tackles.

Plenty of opinions on who should be given their chance or punted. What I can't get is the the fact Talau gets picked (maybe by default) in nearly everyone's team. Maybe because there is nobody else. He doesn't offer much.

He’s our most consistent back other than Laurie. Not bad in defence and safe under the high ball. Consistently gets 100m’s. You put him in broken play and he’s dangerous, great finisher. This is in a team that hasn’t used its edges right. What more do you want?

This screen shot does my head in . Where is Laurie ? And why isn’t he in the defensive line off the kickoff , if AD is kicking off . No wonder we get punished . This is either Laurie not paying attention or bad coaching .
There is no need for a fullback off a kickoff , and if there is , that’s what the kicker does .

Ohhh man that screenshot sums up mbye in a way I really couldn't. Deadset flog.

Once again , that’s not what I was getting at . The whole structure was doomed before the Titans caught the ball . That’s either bad coaching , I don’t think so , or someone ( probably Laurie ) not where they’re supposed to be . We have to be able to adapt to things like this as a team .

Madge noted in the presser he spoke to the team at training about shifts at the kick off.

A few of them were working day shift while the rest were on night shift. That's the problem.
Nofa's always on the early shift rushing in before work has started.

Mbye last night.

16 tackles

8 missed or innefective tackles.

Not to mention the the number of times that he was just plain out of position.

Yet he STILL HAS NEVER BEEN DROPPED.

Release the photos now Madge and stop the pain.


I don't think this is fair in the context of the game. Mbye was getting brushed off by Fafita but he also slowed him down and Fafita didn't kill us.

The try from the kick off was entirely on M'Byes laziness in defence

No it wasn’t M’byes fault it Was Lucianos fault Mbye was going to tackle their centre who is his man to tackle. I don’t understand why he gets criticised so much he is not a centre & should be halfback with Brooks to hooker. I think Brooks could be a decent hooker he is solid in defence & would be quick out of dummy half.

I don’t see it happening this week but surely Amone and Blore will get a shot at first grade soon.

I’ve also read good reports on Tuki Simpkins and Tuilagi(?) are they first grade capable?

Wouldn't surprise me to see Simpkins, Tuilagi, Blore and Amone all feature heavily in 1st grade in 2022.

Elementary dear Watson, just another case of advanced ‘Sheens syndrom’.

 

[DGilly]

Blore is the most overrated player we've had in recent years. How about we wait for him to do more than merely standing his ground against Nathan Brown before we decide he's the next Tonie Carroll.

Lol

Tell me why I'm wrong - what has he done thus far in his career?

Yeah all pushing for first grade.
I am really excited about Tuki. He could be anything based on only the few games I've seen him play.
He just looks the goods in most facets of the game. Wouldn't surprise me if he had an instant impact on the NRL and he's hardly played. Excited to think what he might be after 30 games

- Same 1-17
- Talau (suspension) will return in the centres, forcing Mbye to the bench and Jacob Liddle out of the side.
- Hopeful Tuki debut's and replace Seyfarth
- The likes of Shawn Blore and Jock Madden could come into contention for spots in the 17 this weekend.

I'd have mbye playing for the Magpies and keep Liddle in the 17.

Are Wests Tigers still pretending to run a side..

If running , tackling , kicking ,catching , having an ounce of football sense and showing a heart beat weren't a pre requisite of being a good rugby league side .....imagine how good we could be .....Top 8 at the very least

BREAKING: Adam Doueihi, one of the few shining lights at Wests Tigers, to move to centres this week. Yes, seriously. Moses Mbye to No. 6. Jacob Liddle back on deck ...

If Mbye is picked in the centres again today there's a chance that I may well be very upset.
