08 :: R16 Sun :: Tigers 26 Warriors 28 @ Leichhardt

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

but according to nrl.com

Rovelli is in @ 5/8 and Witt on the bench?!

Rovelli @ half-back, Fien @ Five-eigth and Witt to the bench.

Well I think if they were just going to suddenly include Rovelli, it would have been on the bench to replace Hendo if need be

 

[Marshall_magic]

Great Crowd at Leichhardt, looks just as good as the one against the Titans a month ago.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Seems a pretty good indication that Witt is on the outer in a big way

Fien only gets 1 shot at 7 which is a bit strange, and to me suggests that Moon/Rovelli is etched in for next season

 

[wittyfan]

Yep i see the same, Tigers 30+ or a close Warriors win

That TC match was a beauty, and i have been really looking forward to the main one.

Rovelli confirmed to start and Witt to the bench. Witt should either start or not be there imo. Very strange call from Ivan

Dramas behind the scenes?

Actually it also does shed new light on the week he spent at the Vulcans when he was probably fit enough for NRL.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Oh nevermind, not up for speculating about that. Its game time!!a

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Nah I wouldn't think so. Lets just read into things too much.

I'm not a big Witt fan but it has me baffled. His form is no worse than it was when they gave him the contract extension

Am still trying to figure out what value he has off the bench, because he only plays in the halves. All i can see that is viable is that Henderson would be subbed off and Fien into hooker. You would think that you would want continuity in the halves thoughout the match though, considering how bad the 5th tackle options have been. Or he is insurance on the bench incase Rovelli has another shocker

Off to watch the match now, hoping for some good attacking footy

 

[African Monkey]

Henderson scores. Warriors 4-0 ktc.

 

[African Monkey]

Kick successful from Hohaia. Warriors 6-0.

 

[kia ora storm]

FFS Marshall should try running straight...it is not touch.

 

[Timmah]

Forward pass for your life. Fai's in, 10-0. Hohaia's sprayed the conversion wide.

 

[Dr Crane]

I don't care how forward that pass was, i've got a lazy $10 on the Warriors at $4.40.

 

[African Monkey]

How could the touchie miss that forward pass from Rovelli to Fai. Anyway, Warriors 10-0.

 

[God-King Dean]

C'mon you Ram Rooters !

For the Dragons !

 

[wittyfan]

Gee, the Tigers are soft. MOTH will be on about Sizzler's defensive coaching all week!

 

[Rovelli]

16-0. Fien scores. Hohaia converts. f**k Witt.

 

[Rovelli]

Oh Benji, finally taking it to the line. Tuiaki in. 4-16 KTC

 

[Dr Crane]

Can Ropati please f**k off?
