There are still a few question marks over the team, but fortunately the key positions are starting to be resolved:

1\. Ryan - let's be serious and admit that Taumata, Meany and Mullaney aren't going to push Ryan out at this stage
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Pritchard

6\. Marshall
7\. Moltzen (gk)

8\. Galloway
9\. Farah ©
10\. Gibbs
11\. Fulton - will he bit fit after _"puncturing a lung with a needle"_
12\. Ellis
13\. Heighington - but taken off for 20 minutes at some stage

14\. Cayless
15\. Fifita
16\. Flanagan
17\. Moors, Shirnack, Dwyer, Gower, Taumata
 
Great team effort last night, but 3 things must change…
1)...Mitch Brown has to be replaced by Ryan on the wing, even though Beau was very solid at fullback
2)...Benji needs to be replaced as our fulltime goalkicker, and by bringing Meaney into the team, you will have a solid safe fullback who will kick at 85% .
3) Fulton needs to come back into the team, and unfortunetly Fitzy is the weakest link

Same team as Kul's except:

14\. Cayless (who only played 20mins last night? … injury cloud?)
15\. Fifita
16\. Flanagan
17\. Payten

finally ... a forward pack that has some depth/options in it!

Yep thats the team right there! very nice bench indeed

Anyone moving Ryan from fullback is kidding themselves!!

Think outside the square HT…..Benji cannot remain as our fulltime kicker for now....do you agree?
If so, then this is a solution....Meaney will not let the Wests Tigers team down , as fullback or as our goal kicker, IMO.
2) Ryan goes back on the wing, where he is strong, and the team gets rid of Brown, who is a very weak link.
3) Benji has too much pride, not to fight his way back as the No#1 choice for Goalkicker and will practice harder to get back there......just in time, for the arrival of TNT back in the wing spot, Ryan goes back to fullback, Benji back and firing straight over the posts at 88%, and everyones a winner
:wink:

Payten at 11.
DONE!
 
If they really want to move Meaney into the side he played very well in the trial on the wing.

However I thought Brown did very well last night. We played a hard blind side game down the left so his attacking opportunities were limited.

With the exception of Fitzy out for a returning Fulton I would not alter the side as they ran out last night

Very nice bench and Flanagan give Sheens that utility opion as well I think he can cover a few positions if needed
 
1\. Ryan
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Pritchard

6\. Marshall
7\. Moltzen (gk)

16\. Flanagan
17\. D. Fifita
 
1\. Ryan
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Tuiaki! (someone said rnd 3…) Or more realistically leave Brown there

6\. Marshall (2nd string kicker when Flanagan is on the bench)
7\. Moltzen

8\. Galloway
9\. Farah (c)
10\. Gibbs
11\. Payten
12\. Ellis
13\. Heighington

14\. Fulton
15\. Fifita
16\. Flanagan (main gk)
17\. Cayless

Only things up for debate Tuiaki's fill in & who the goalkicker is. It's a long while since a Tiges side has picked itself like that one.
 
Don't think Sheens will make too many changes to a winning side but Fitzhenry spot on the bench is questionable

1.Ryan
2.Tuiqiri
3.Ayshford
4.Lawrence
5\. Brown- will be minding the spot until Tuiaki is back on deck. I know people have wraps on Pritchard but haven't seen enough of him. Maybe if he has a blinder for the Maggies today can push Brown out

6.Marshall
7.Moltzen

8.Gibbs
9.Farah
10.Galloway

11.Fulton
12.Ellis
13.Heighington

Reserves
14.Payten
15.Flanagan
16.Fifita
17.Taumata
 
I know Benji is not our greatest kicker and if we have someone better we need to look at changing however I think you can put last nights 1/5 to his rib injury.

I cannot see how you can change last weeks first 13 from their performance last night. I really liked Ryan and Brown swapping and changing the No1 role, It gives the opposition a bit more to think about when kicking. The more game tim eunder his belt Brown will grow, Parra first up was a great test and I think he did well.

1\. Brown
2\. Tuqiri
3\. Ayshford
4\. Lawrence
5\. Ryan

15\. Fifita
16\. Fulton
17\. Flanaghan

That is an awesome squad and with TNT to come back it only gets better.
 
I cant see the Fonz making any changes…..my only concern is Fitzhenry,s bench spot.....Me thinks Taumata or Simon Dwyer would be better value if fit.....Dwyer I rate highly
