[azsportza]

Gold Coast Titans named. Matt White will be out for two games due to his dangerous throw charge.

 

[Matchball]

The speedy backline has is the only thing that has me worried.
Carve us up if we don't turn up in defence.

 

[benched tiger]

Our defence out wide is terrible,both times we have been beat this year we were carved up out wide and Parra made our out side defence look brittle again yesterday.

 

[azsportza]

Wests Tigers team named. Gavet OUT; Fulton IN

 

[benched tiger]

Seriously WTF is Rowe still doing in the team,do we have to lose before this clown gets punted ?

 

[BuffaloRules]

Anasta and Rowe again

Hope everyone has their wake up call booked for 4.50 on Sunday

Clown!? You realise he has played TWO NRL games, not even complete games.

 

[Radical Rat]

Clown!? You realise he has played TWO NRL games, not even complete games.

Clown may be a bit harsh. But I share the sentiment. Are we waiting till we lose a match first before admitting Rowe is not up to it?

Problem is there really in no one else. I don't want to see Simona moved. Our motto should be like-for-like replacements, no exceptions whatsoever. So in saying that I guess Rowe it is. I just hope he actually attempts to get involved this week and add something offensively. Although I will settle for an error free game with good positioning.

We need to concede that we don't have an attacking full back that even comes close to Teddy, we've been spoilt.

Surely there's a player with some size that can catch and run the ball back hard and get our sets off to a good start, a Mitch Brown style player will do.

I don't think Rowe will improve too much in the next 7 weeks, just doesn't have the size to back up any confidence he may get with time.

He's copped some on here but I feel for him, he's far from ready for 1st grade.

That is two Nrl games that he should not of played imo,at this stage of his career he is not ready!:roll:

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

I strongly disagreed with Potter on Blair and Thompson.
Maybe I should just accept he knows what he is doing with Anasta and Rowe.
He seems to be getting almost everything else right.

Im all for giving him the 2 games to show what he has ,,,, but he has shown he has f**k all so next option please !

Its pretty hard to criticise him at the moment isn't it.

 

[BrotherJim05]

I'm so happy to see Austin in the squad. Even if its just on the bench, it's a clear statement that Potter wants him involved and is close to getting a starting spot.

With Rowe, yes he might not be quite up to it yet but he will be getting valuable experience from this. If we were losing games then I would be a bit worried but we aren't...he's only going to get better.

 

[chopsy_05]

This is a big game. A solid win missing some personnel leading up to the week off will put the club in a great position. I'm hoping we might have a few players back after this game. Sirro sue maybe even Farah.

 

[DanOz]

We need to get through this game without any more injuries...

 

[BrotherJim05]

We need to get through this game without any more injuries...

When have we ever gotten through a game with no injuries?

But seriously....minimum of 1 injury per game this year.

 

[dumpy]

The outside backs better bring their best defence to the table. Last week Lawrence was caught in no mans land several times and the eels were not smart enough to take full advantage. The titans are a far more competitive team than the hapless eels and have an attacking speedy fullback. Playing at LO is an ace.

Rowdy also made some try savers as well,and his stats were 20 tackles zero misses,I thought Rowdy had his best game of the year,did you watch the same game.
