Match Discussion: Round 6 vs Newcastle @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leumeah / Dharawal

Sukaar probably replaces Fainu if the knee is no good. Sukaar has been going alright but is a downgrade.

 

[Tiger Ted]

I think he is much better as a creative running 6 but I think he should be able to do this job and do it well especially on his salary.

I also think his kicking game is more consistent than AD's.

I also think Madden is going to get dropped at some point so my expectation is that Luai takes more of those late tackle options and does a really good job of it.

This is one of my issues with JL that his last tackle options have not been commensurate with his pay grade.Additionally his habit of running around in circles does my head in.AD’s running game is potent & if I was an opposition coach I’d be a heck of a lot more worried about AD whereas id be sleeping quite comfortably if Luai was the 5/8.

Quite a big downgrade

Luai and Madden in the halves for me, with Luai given the strict instruction to never do the momentum killing step back on the inside to no-one in the attacking 20m ever again.

Quite a big downgrade

Yes but Samuela has been exceptionally good. Who is better - KPP or Samuela ? My take is maybe Samuela is better and KPP has been awesome.

That’s pleasantly a difficult question.They are equally both extremely impressive.KPP has been quite a revelation compared to the Obrien suffocated version

It's interesting isn't it. I didn't watch KPP much last year but his fantasy points were pretty high. I think he does a lot of the little things right.

His games against Australia at the end of last year, had me believing that we'd signed a good one.

Who else is a specialist left edge? Both Tony and Alex prefer right.
I mentioned Tony because we did run him at left edge during trials.
It goes to show how much an intergral part of our team Faiuni is.
I'm scratching my head here. Possibly Mavrik Geyer to debut. He's mobile and defends well and May might have had a connection of some sort with him at Penrith

 

[WA Tiger]

That’s a bit better!

You’d have to have Herbert in the team.. .. he’s been to hell and back so hes got that maturity where nothing phases him and a good perspective the boys will thrive on playing beside…you could see bulla being happy he was around in between plays …plus he’s got the tigers dna of wow did you see that..(prob the Broncos as well).
He will be hard to leave out ..

Fox Sports are reporting Taylan May is a chance to be available for selection this week.

It’s a nice change for us to have decent options.Its y I’m not surprised if Toa is on the outer.

You're hard pressed splitting them IMO.

I would hope that we aren't rushing him back.

They are both top tier but they both have the merciless streak in the tackle as well..I saw a bit of kpp hurt yesterday

You’re right at the same time I wouldn’t be surprised to see Toa and his back handed offloads this week. I’m guessing May and Herbert tho.. they pkay similar and same size..can’t play masi against the broncs

 

[WA Tiger]

I would hope that we aren't rushing him back.

The shoulder went straight back in so should be secure. Prob right last week

I reckon Fainu is better than KKP on the left and KKP is better than Fainu on the right
