Your team

Brad Arthur was talking last night about when Moses came over. Said his gym work was poor and he lacked strength.

Maybe that was just the pea heart putting as much into his training as his efforts on the field…
 
While talking about fitness and speed, our side actually looked small against the sharks. I hope we can physically stand up to sides, or it could be a long season

We need a big pack and big bench to take on the Roosters.

Taylor or Lawrence can cover the backs in case of injuries.

No long to go until Cleary names his team tonight

Marsters
Milne
Fonua/Mwz
Reynolds

stories now hitting press
 
In recent tigers player videos on instagram, Tui got to the highest level in box jump. Doesn't count for much but he did look very fit, agile and explosive. Gamble and Fonua couldn't get to his height on the video… High fives from Palmer

That looks about right. Not what I'd have as I don't think Kevin and McIllwrick can cut it but not about to complain about Clearys team

I reckon that's pretty close, except I'd expect Rochow on the bench with Taylor starting, and Benji named in the 17.

about right, but benji will be the utility off the bench and taylor will be rotating with huth at lock, rochow , lawrence and aloiai will be rotating in the backrow.
 
This is what I'd be rolling out:

1\. Lolo
2\. Thompson
3\. Masters
4\. Naiquama
5\. MWZ
6\. Reynolds
7\. Brooks
8\. Packer
9\. McIllwrick
10\. Matulino

13\. Taylor

14\. Eisenhuth
15\. Felise
16\. Twal
17\. Gamble/Marshall

18\. Godinet
 
With that back 3 and Cronk's kicking game, I can see plenty of sets where we are playing the ball inside our own 30 on tackle 3.
Lucky we have a great kicking game to make yardage

And I could see their edge having a field day with a winger who rushes out and can't communicate with his centre.

Everyone wants culture change no one wants crack eggs.

I'll back the coach for now

Lets hope the back rower and 5/8 are also on the same page as the centre and winger…I can't see the Roosters scoring at all then..
 
Well most of team was as expected. Lola I think has been picked as Ivan is being true to his word and given him first go at fullback. Nofa has been a defensive liability, his carry is great but teams catch him coming in by cutouts and kicks all the time, Cronk would find him out. Hooker macca was solid but can't argue. Rochow I didnt see too much to agree with Ivan but wont argue.
More expectations here than last few years, since 2011 when Ivan put us out.
