Your team v Broncos

If you thought Ivan had a headache picking the Round 1 team this week will be just as bad. If you pick Tui, who do you drop? If you put Tui in Reggies, does he really deserve it?
 
If everyone was healthy:

1\. Tuimoala Lolohea
2\. David Nofoaluma
3\. Esan Marsters
4\. Kevin Naiqama
5\. Corey Thompson

6\. Benji Marshall or Michael Chee-Kam
7\. Luke Brooks

8\. Russell Packer
9\. Jacob Liddle
10\. Ben Matulino
11\. Chris Lawrence
12\. Robbie Rochow
13\. Elijah Taylor

14\. Josh Reynolds
15\. Matt Eisenhuth
16\. Alex Twal
17\. Josh Aloiai

dont want to sound too negative but is anyone else worried about the shorter turnaround and against the broncs?Storm we nearly always compete with and roosters were definitly not at there best…..in saying that there is a lot of improvement in the tigers team,especially in attack.I just feel the team could be abit flat this week?

Six days isn’t a short turn around

I'd like to see Kev dropped, but who do we have to take his place? :frowning:

Tui potentially? I fail to see how Tui just slots back in at fullback, Thompson has done more than enough to stay there and there is no way you are dropping Nofa to move Thompson back to the wing to accommodate Tui.

Funua. Better in attack and offloads. Must be there shortly. Please don't go on about dropping bombs etc. Everyone does, including Slater et al. He played well in reserve grade in both weeks.

In saying that, I thought Kevin did play ok the other night.
 
Tui will miss out Thompson more impressive at fullback. Nofa was huge in the wing and MWZ has been excellent. Marsters is a good enough goal kicker.

Kev May be dusty after the head slam.

Would Gamble be able to play hooker?

Good player but defensively he has issues at this stage

That's a load of rubbish lol

Have a look at the weekend ISP highlights - then tell me it is still rubbish.

Its still rubbish.

All it is is the guy has created some hype so a few people tuned in during a free to air game to check him out. The see him make a bad read on Cogger i think it was and are now all have their talent scout hats on calling him a liability in defense.

Nah sorry ill judge him on more than one game thanks. The kid is close to 100kg and has a shoulder. Ive seen him drill people with it. Whats more he is a very quick study and has the right attitude.

Of course he has some things to work on but its just forum and social media rubbish to suggest that we have now discovered a flaw in his game.
 
I think he is a real talent and he will get a chance at some stage in the near future, but I also think his defence is what you would expect from a kid that has not played at NRL level. I have no doubt it will get better but at present it is the weakest aspect of his game.. and yes I saw both reserve grade games and a couple of the trial games to form my opinion.
 
Gamble won't be anywhere near the team unless an injury to Brooks or Marshall occurs in the next couple of weeks. Reynolds is back in Round 5, maybe even earlier, and he'll just be put further down the pecking order. And don't mention bench utility, he won't get a crack there either.
 
This will be a very tough game, hopefully we get a huge turnout and the boys put on another great display.

A win would be nice, my room mate has been giving it to me all preseason about this game but he seems a bit nervous now.

Up until last weekend I was only worried about him handling the pressure of the NRL. Yes, it was one game I mentioned (the others I have seen, he tackled reasonably well), the problem was he had two feeble attempts at tackle and the opposition scored.
That is not good enough - I think he will be a very good player for us and yes he does have things to work on. That is what I am saying and one of them is defence. He is very good one on one (same as Kev) but when it's not…..
He needs more time in ISP - I mean what is the rush, that everyone wants him in the top grade yesterday.
Are they trying to cruel him?
