When you have a lower grade player in good form and wanting to next the step up behind two players who aren't performing,the decision should be easy.

You don't bring in players with NRL experience to flounder in NSW cup

1 – Justin Hunt (Wests Tigers)
The swap between Hunt and former fullback Watson Heleta proved a worthwhile one in the Tigers’ demolition of the Magpies at Ringrose Park on Sunday – the new custodian ran a huge 26 times for 247 metres in a dominant performance. With two offloads, two line-break assists and seven tackle busts to suit, Hunt looked to inject himself into the Tigers’ attack at every opportunity. He is one of many Tigers putting their hand up for first grade spots, which might be up for grabs following the NRL side’s Round 8 thrashing.

Jeez the performance of this bloke in reserves 1st game back...the forgotten man absolutely carved up

Would also not look out of place in 1sts

Expecting massive & obvious changes to be made in today's team selection but I'll bet London to a brick it won't happen.

When u lose 6 in a row & u get annihilated in ur last match plus there r numerous players in our state cup team performing admirably there's no f**king excuse for Taylor not to make wholesale changes !! Changes must be made as we must find a way to turn our season around starting thur nite !

Dont hold your breath , i think it will be a case of "this is your last chance " . I base that on the fact the club has came out and praised the players on their efforts in prior games, so to them this was a one off and will get another go.

Pascoe saying, out of 4 or 5 games we could of and should have won is debatable,sure we were competitive but the results show we were not good enough to win.The sooner our club stops sugar coating team and players performances the better we will be for it.
JT talks about playing tough well it should start with him,wield the axe,promote whoever has been performing in reggies,drop non performers regardless of names or reputation and start a culture that doesn't reward mediocrity instead encourages pride in performance.

If players and coach have this weeks match to turn things around, then the club has to be looking at a replacement coach.

To say they aren't is either a lie or shit management.

Its hard to know because the club is quite adept at both.

Also, one of those games we lost to Newcastle, a team getting flogged by everyone else & we handed them their first win of the season. But that's OK, because we "almost won" we "only just lost". Well done lads, keep it up.
