If Simpkin is not injured I would give him # 9, also why Lawrence ahead of Garner?

Signing Foran would be a deadset disaster
He’s one injury away from a nursing home …
We ain’t that desperate.Foran isn’t going to help us win a premiership or get us closer to the 8. He’s been playing in a similar team to us with the dogs and hasn’t been able to get them close. Forget him and let’s look abit harder.
I understand the concerns with foran but he’s by far the best half available right now and imo we’d be a much better team with him in it. We know our current halves aren’t good enough so do we take the risk of signing someone like foran or do we not sign anyone and resign ourself to not making the 8 for 2021 too?
IMHO, Forget Foran (he is not the player he was 5-6 years ago!)
I would go for Shaun Johnson, or Milford (in that order),
they have X factor, and Johnson is on top of that good goal kicker!
We allowed too many offloads, their forwards made more meters, and then we gave them too many resets. IMHO one of the reasons is that we played with no energy, as per usual when we loose against a weaker opponent. Again it was shown that we don’t have forwards that can turn the game around with a great run or tackle.
Lawrence and Mbye do not contribute anything in attack. Nofoaluma shall stop running sideways, and of course, we need 80%+ goal kicker!
As expected, a hard game, and some people were so compliant, they wanted to rest best players?? Hopefully we will not make mistakes in defence, and win, a point is fine! GO TIGERS!

Apparently 1 in 4 of those in Victoria who’ve tested positive were not at home when the ADF and health services were door knocking yesterday. There’s not much hope for us when people are this selfish and stupid.
The situation is too serious! If the governments are serious they would evacuate all infected and all that cannot be self isolated!
The destination: special facilities near Darwin, built to deal with mass infections. They have buildings, guards, nurses, doctors, all in place. But our politicians still play political games!

Said it a few weeks backs, is there a way to get Alex Johnston across this year?
He could very well be the difference to whether to we make the 8 or not. Not sure if the numbers are correct or not but apparently he ran over 300m. Or are all spots taken for the year?He probably did run for over 300m but that included 2 runs of 80-90m each off intercepts. He picked off pretty telegraphed passes by Dufty and Sailor (in sailor’s defence they were desperately chasing points at the time, Dufty’s pass was just a bad one).
We dont have anyone that can run that far or as fast
Brooks?

Question : So if you are found to have COVID and you don’t have someone to get basic necessities for you …what happens ??
Local area health service?
Salvos?
Lifeline?
St Vinnies?
very personalised service will be delivered, and depends in which state you live: in Vic Dan Andrews, in NSW Gladys Berejiklian, In Qld Annastacia Palaszczuk etc. 
To minimise carbon footprint, they will use bicycles! 
@TigerLouis said in Wests Tigers Team v Warriors Rd 12:
Lawrence does not have the ability to put his wingers away & is too slow he should be in the forwards.
Agree, BJ would either score himself, or attract their LW and flick the ball to Nofoaluma for an easy try.
The opposition knows that Lawrence cannot step, and is not powerful enough to go through them.
