With Blore back (he looks a beast), what a great position for us to be in.

I like Simpkin being there, but if we can get 80 out of Liddle, then I would like to see Blore in his spot.

Agree also with Talau, he did score a good try, but his errors will cost us, think Cooper or Fitzgibbon are worth a look, or even Cini worth another shot.


2 guys you mentioned aren’t even in the squad and not showing anything warranting a first grade debut. You want to bring cini in who had one of the worst games I’ve ever seen by a rookie.. atleast 5-6 big mistakes that cost us, for Talau who made 1-2 mistakes with 1 not even counting.


As for the side I would keep it the same 1-13, only change would be madden which is rough on the kid but he doesn’t really offer much impact of the bench. Would love to give amone a crack. Think mikaele and amone could be a massive one 2 punch for us.

I know that option leaves us in a bad spot if we get a injury in the back line. Teams these days always have one utility on the bench. So if Madge wants that an Unpopular decision, but cheekam can play in the forwards or backs. Can play long minutes and would have him coming on running hard on the edges with his footwork can do a job around fatigued forwards.

Obviously the popular decision in the group is Simpkin of the bench. Which is understandable since we looked our weakest when liddle came
Of on Friday. I just want more impact in terms of meters made. But service out of dummy half is very important for the full 80, hopefully Simpkin can show us that running game everyone keeps saying he has.

Have you been watching reserve grade? It was my understanding that T&T guys could be available after R10?

Anyway, I didn't state they should be in the side, but are certainly worth consideration and as for Cini, do we just cut him loose now because of one game?

Amone, Simpkins & Tuilagi are destined for the top grade as well?

Madge seems keen to see how these blokes handle it.

I wouldn’t change the backline at all, this is probably our best backline. Unfortunately jet hasn’t been the best. Cini still a rookie but Talau much better. Joey is playing good soo keep him, Adam looks dangerous at centre and obviously we don’t move Laurie. The only spot I can see someone taking this week would be maddens. Everyone else earned a spot for this weeks game.

yep this is same for me

wonder the reason behind the stefano drop

A few defensive issues probably will still be out of the side due to not being able to play on the weekend.
This forum is so fickle everyone wanted MADDEN in the team he got 15 nervous minutes now everyone wants him out

"Everyone" wanted Madden in the NRL team? Rubbish. Only those who'd never seen him play NSW Cup.

Those of us who have watched him with interest there knows he's pretty darn limited in what he brings to a side. With a bit of improvement, he could be the next Luke Brooks.

Madden is a very good player. Importantly, he has always been very good at being able to finish a set which set him apart from Pheonix Crossland. The little of NRL he received will assist with his development. He will go back to NSW Cup and continue to improve on aspects of his game.

Was at the game Friday night, Seyfarth really surprised me, his effort was 110%, and hit hard. Shaun BLORE has comeback big and mobile, this kid is going to be a :gun: Luke Garner didn't get many accolades, but he was in everything. Brooks was definitely best on the field, followed by Douhei. It was great to see so many Tigers fans in a great stadium to watch footy. Bring back Simpkin into the Team

I've notice Joe O struggles doing big minutes. It would be good to have Blore there to sub.

Liddle needs to do 80 minutes.

Agree with this side, If Liddle could punch out a solid 80 (though I understand unlikely) then that's a great bench we have there.

 

[InBenjiWeTrust]

IMHO, Twal and Tamou are similar players, so they cannot be in the same team.

[Tiger_Fanatic3]

Unchanged.
Reward a winning team.
Like to see Stefano in.
I reckon Madge will go for size as Warriors are a very big pack.

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

no injuries or suspensions, for me, same team as Friday night

 

[MarySt]

id like to see kelma tuilagi in sooner than later personally, not sure who in for, maybe garner?

 

[Jedi_Tiger]

Simpkin in for Madden
otherwise can't drop anybody from that team

 

[Spartan117]

We need this Win to go 2 and 3in a row with ST George the week after.

After this is a horror month with

Panthers
Eels
Storm
Rabbits

Hmmm... I dont believe Liddle is ready for 80 minutes yet, for me I'd have Simpkin on the bench and come in with quick fresh legs and run abit more with the heavy Warriors forwards.

we have panthers during origin, so we might have a quarter of a chance (slight upgrade from no chance)

 

[MarySt]

having said that, i dont have much confidence for us v warriors this week

 

[jrtiger]

only change I'd make is Simpkin for Madden. Tuilagi isn't far off a debut but our bench forwards have been sensational these past few weeks. re-sign Mikaele asap.

Yep and storm too I think

So Penrith

No Cleary, Ye’o (definites imo)

Maybe (?) Luai, To’o, Crichton

if you were punting some agencies are betting when Penrith has first loss of season on Sportsbet Tigers to beat them in round 13 is $6.50

I think they will go a Luai/Cleary origin combo

Wighton is in terrible form and keary is injured .. Mitch Moses is in handy form but he’s a cat and club combo triumphs

We’ve certainly got a good chance that’s for sure
