Your Team Vs. Broncos

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. To'a
4. Naden
5. Skelton
6. Galvin
7. Fainu
8. May
9. Koroisau
10. Pole
11. Sione Fainu
12. Seyfarth
13. Twal

14. TDS
15. Hunt
16. Bird
17. Sukkar or Kit Laulilii

We need a bit of size to start the game so Sione in, otherwise Broncos will steamroll us

I can put together a Top 16.....

1. Bula
2. Turuva
3. To'a
4. Douhei/Naden
5. Skelton/Staines
6. Galvin
7. Latu Fainu
8. May
9. Koroisau
10. Pole
11. Twal
12. Seyfarth
13. Bird (can play 80 minutes like Samuela Fainu)

14. De Silva
15. Hunt
16. Sione Fainu

The 17th + 18th spot depends on KOE form. I haven't seen any matches this year, so I've shortlisted based on my understanding of the squad (let me know if I've missed anyone).

- K Laulilii
- Sukkar
- Porter
- J Matamua
- T Johannssen

Can anyone shed some light on the above players form?

Porter and Johansson aren't eligible

Matamua has been dropped to bsw cup

So it's Kit and Sukkar

 

[hank37w]

Luai is out next week.

Twal?

We do know that Luai will be out but do we even know if Doueihi, Samuela and Skelton will even be available.

Could be a lot of outs, really straining our depth which is really thin at the best of times. 🙁

 

[Tigerstigerstigers]

no one mentioning Luke Luuali. Just my opinion, once he sees firsts he won't be playing reggies again. I think he will be picked this week.

Matamua has been dropped to bsw cup

So it's Kit and Sukkar

Why aren't they eligible?

 

[Kelce68]

massive bonus. hopefully he's right to go.

I think we really missed Bird in the middle yesterday and would have him coming off the bench as per his normal role. that said, with Latu there there's less reliance. hoping Samuela's fine and right to go, but just thinking about what would cause the least disruption.

It's a valid point, but if Sukkar's edge falls apart before Bird takes the field, it'll be redundant. I don't have a lot of confidence in Tony.

There's a few ifs and maybes this week. Hoping you're on the money about Naden, we're desperate out wide.

Would Benji dare put Douehi in the 7 ?

 

[Tigers_Wests]

Would Benji dare put Douehi in the 7 ?

Coming off a groin strain, I don't think so. Would expect Api/TDS to goal kick for a couple of weeks longer too.

 

[BirchgroveTigers]

1. Bula
2. Skelton
3. Douiehi
4. To’a
5. Turuva
6. Galvin
7. Latu
8. May
9. Api
10. Pole
11. Bird (assuming Samuela injured)
12. Seyfarth
13. Twal

14. Da Silva
15. Hunt
16. Sione Fainu
17. Kit lauili’i

Sione coming on for Bird to give him a spell on the edge. Kit in the middle.

 

[Halbrowne61]

He's injured.
Since round 1, every tackle he's taken he's gotten up limping

Well he has to use his shoulders, not his legs. Is it just me or is he a bit light on in condition ?

 

[Spartan117]

I dont think the Broncos game is the Best time to through a young forward in.

14. Da Silva
15. Hunt
16. Sione Fainu
17. Kit lauili’i

Sione coming on for Bird to give him a spell on the edge. Kit in the middle.

Likely the team we will field. Ruben Porter may be on the bench in place of Kit.

 

[old_man_tiger]

A lot of teams with Doueihi, has the club indicated he'll be right

 

[TrueTiger]

I have been thinking about the Broncos game and with JL out we could put API at 7 with Galvin at 6 TDS at 9 and Latu at 14. Just having play around and I have no idea what Benji will do..but Galvin needs experience beside him ATM..

1 thing is for sure. We will be relying on Galvin’s kick more than any of the other options this week. He has the right side position that suits a right footer.
The other options for HB are all right footers and will be in an awkward position kicking for territory. Unless we play the way Rabbits are using Humphries by having him come back onto the left side of the field to kick the territory kicks?

 

[tigers26ouryear]

What’s the go with Staines? Any chance that he gets a look in at 18th man if we’re starting Latu ahead of that?

Leaving the club is the word. No idea if true.
