5/8 in Marshalls place

[leoc]

So, if Marshall is out this week does sheens run Lui at 7 and Moltzen at 6 or does he use the opportunity to start Sironen at 6 with either Moltzen or Lui on the bench just in case? He gambled with Miller early in the season and from what I've heard Sironen is going great so it may just be his time.

 

[tigers_are_premiers]

Both Siro and Miller are going great guns.. Probably the best halves combo in the u20's...

Want to see Marshall wearing a more glamorous number than No.6. IMO numbers 1-6 aren't needed for us, and I think that numbers 20 and 19 suit front-rowers.

How about this :-

Fullback - No.15
Wingers - Nos. 14 & 11
Centres - 12 & 13
Five-eighth - 10
Halfback - 7
Rake - 9
Front-rowers - 20 & 19
Second-rowers - 18 & 17
Loose-forward - 16

Interchanges - 21, 22,23 and 24

Loose forward? Sounds like your mum after the Cessnock Goannas finished running a train on her.

 

[southwalesrabbitoh]

It sounds better than Lock-Forward. They don't usually lock the scrum anymore, so why call then that, the Pommies call him the loose-forward, sounds ok to me. And a train? What does that mean?

 

[southwalesrabbitoh]

Moltzen looks a v.good player to me, I can only assume that other coaches think he's inconsistent and prone to injuries.

Who is the better goal kicker and can play 80 minutes because now we don't have one.

Sheens did not take the opportunity to give Mullaney or Meaney a go at cementing a permanent fullback spot when McKinnon was hurt, 2 goals who can kick goals very well, so now he'll need to split the 2 guys who finished Sundays game in the halves - forward thinking and coach Sheens :lol: yep it makes me laugh, not.

Miller 7 . Lui 6 . Miller kicked 9 out on 10 on the weekend and his general kicking is 100 times better than our current kickers.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Miller 7 . Lui 6

yep - I like the sound of that one.

I'd also leave the young kid in the centres as well. I like his niggle, we don't have that in the backs and it (to me) shows that he has a bit of go in him. It's not like he's going to be there until the end of the year anyway with the potential return of CL in the next month.

BUT and there's always a BUT the backs need to lift in defence, all of them.

Miller 7 . Lui 6 . Miller kicked 9 out on 10 on the weekend and his general kicking is 100 times better than our current kickers.

That is my combo too. Moltzen in the centres to continue to cover until Lawrence gets back.

Agree.

 

[TrigaTheTiger]

Surely Shines wont move Lui to accommodate a specialist 7?

Reckon the goal kicking necessity will force his hand. But then again, we all know Teflon and his amazing choices sometimes.............

 

[Trollhammaren]

Can Moltzen kick goals?

 

[magpie_man]

Miller 7 . Lui 6 s.

surely it'll be this. surely.
it'll be interesting to see how miller fares and how lui goes in his preferred position.

 

[Tigerm]

Agree.

If it works, then Marshal to FB, when he returns?

NO... Lui to some other club will be better. Hmmm maybe soufs

 

[leoc]

I'd hate to see Marshall at fullback, complete waste. Bennett moved Lockyer to 5/8 from fullback to get more involved. Hopfully Lui has gone to brisbane so we don't need to shuffle Marshall. I heard from a mate that Sironen could be a potential lock, I haven't seen much of him is this possible?

 

[Old Time Tiger]

I heard from a mate that Sironen could be a potential lock, I haven't seen much of him is this possible?

anything is possible however, what I think should happen is:
Let him finish school,
Let him play school boy football and U20's,
Let him enjoy himself,
Let him train over summer with the 1st grade squad, if not this summer, the next one.

You see,

Young Siro is still 17 and doesn't turn 18 until the end of July.

It was announced on Sky News this morning that Miller will replace Benji.

Not sure if that means he slots into the 6 jumper or the 7.
