Santi over Cherrington? Makes no sense to me.
Still no Lodge...

 

[lafai]

Doesn't Manaia only play like 15 minutes anyway? And he was a late inclusion for Santi yesterday so ...

 

[BrotherJim05]

Farah needs to just go back to playing 80. He can do it. Why waste a bench spot?

Cherrington is gun but I just don't see the point with him coming on for 15-20 mins

 

[Vic Mackey]

I'd expect cherrington to still play. It's generally who fits in what jersey for the bench.

Will be shocked if Naquima plays, hopefully Seve or Chance Peni replace him.

We should do them well.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Id look at giving him more than 15min. Farah to 13 as a Fensom kind of defensive player managing the ruck. Cherrington adds a new dimension in the ruck.

 

[Clifferd]

I'd consider Cherrington to be quite an important asset to our team. He adds so much attacking flair when he comes on his impact is where we can score tons of points. For us to go forward we need to keep easing him into games as he will definitely be replacing Farah when he goes

But I also feel if he's only getting 15-20 minutes a game he might be better off developing in the NSW Cup in the time being and help them in the finals at least.

needs to be full time top 17 next year though

 

[Tigers1986]

That 15-20 minutes that Manaia is getting is doing him better than NSW Cup, at least for the rest of the season.

I'm really pumped for this game because we've been playing well and it's the first day game at CSS in almost 3 years. We should win comfortably as the Knights have been very average, however, I don't want to be too cocky or it'll likely bite me in the ass.

If we can get a huge crowd in and the lads start strong I'd expect a comfy 20+ victory. Let's hope for good weather as well.

 

[Fordy20]

These games that we should win are always the ones where we struggle most.

Ideally I'd like to see the lads put 40 on the Knights.

Now that would be nice.....

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Isn't that always the case !!

I'd like to say, if the home grounds are going to include Campbelltown, it the ground, has to become 'our' western fortress, the ground that we win every game at, the ground that every other teams hate playing the Tigers at. And the West Tiger fans from the area have to support the team in greater numbers to help make the ground 'our' fortress.

Question for all, what 1st grade coach takes his most experienced forward, his captain as well, off with what 6 minutes to go? Why? just because he made a dumb error. Gee, with a coach like that we'd end up with no one on the field at the end of the game.

I have said it before, replace Farah for sure but surely you could leave him and play as a defensive player, let Cherrington run from dummy half but have Farah 'guiding' them around.

 

[Tiger05]

That was pretty embarrassing wasn't it.

 

[madunit]

Ball handling and attacking structures/plsys were disgraceful.

But we held up the knights over the line 4 or 5 times, so taylor will be happy

 

[magpie4ever]

Typical of this team, all to play for regards woodenspoon. Newcastle couldn't beat time with a stick but they can beat this rabble twice in a season.

 

[gronkathon]

Losing twice to that dross in a season.

if they end up spoon bait it is well earned

 

[Tigerted]

30% of the knights wins this season are against us.

Apart from the obvious that we severely lack experience & grit in our forwards Taylor is definitely a pathetic coach & we have a huge issue with our no. 7.

Brooks is one heck of a dumb footballer & unless there's a miraculous improvement with this bum in '16 we must make a stern & proper decision & f**k him of.He ticks zero boxes re a half-backs job description.In 2 yrs he has regressed rapidly.

We need to win 1 more game to avoid the spoon & I'm expecting that 2 happen v warriors.

Whilst I didn't see the game, I find it incredibilous that some posters are wholly blaming the coach (he mignt be bloody useless, but) while giving leave passes to the players.

Regards, the warriors - they will do as they usual do and that is roll through us with their forwards.

 

[Tigerted]

Magpie4ever if woods is fit & with Taupau available & the warriors w/out matulino & Johnson if we drop this game we deserve the spoon.

I'm also not disregarding our chance of screwing up the dragons chances to make finals particularly if Benji plays.

 

[magpie guy]

I think you guys are being a bit unfair. Disappointing game but Woods and Halatau were off injured for the majority of the game. With Tapau out that leaves the bench players to pick up the slack in minutes. With the extra defensive work the forwards just didn't have it in them to get us in an attacking position.

It is dumb to not use Farah for 80 when you already have two forwards out though. Also, what is going on with Lodge? Is he injured or club suspension or what?
