Depth to be tested.

So I've heard tuqiri is out for between 6-8 weeks, Lawrence is for 3 months at least on early reports.

Injuries are a bastard but we get crippled more heavily if they happen to our forwards more than anything.

Brown will walk into the side. Daniella should get first crack at the vacant centre gig

minimal distruption to the rest of the team essentially from that

 

[madunit]

As soon as Lote went off we had no natural winger to cover Ferguson, Wade and Ayshford were both shuffled to the wing, Then when Lawrence went down, Timmy played centre and Ferguson had a field day-

If Lote and Rowdy were still on we would have stopped most of the Raiders late tries...

gotta admit it looked bloody weird having Ayshford defnding on the wing as well as McKinnon, leaving fullback a job between Moltzen and McKinnon and leaving big holes around the centre spot Moltzen was trying to fill.

Moltzen won't be walking into the starting 13 I don't think. Unless Sheens moves McKinnon to the wing, Moltzen to fullback and brings Daniella into the centres and Brown onto the Bench

Seems silly to me though. Brown is a genuinely good winger and fullback.

Does anyone know why Mitch Brown hasnt been playing in the side already in front of Wade " The Turtle" Mackinnon?

I can only assume that he is in Sheens bad books....

 

[super_coach]

Need to get through the next month with at least two wins. After that we should have Ellis,Gibbs,Fulton and BMM all back on deck. Okay Lote and Rowdy are gone for a while, but gee barring anymore serious injuries we will have one hell of a forward pack

I honestly believe that we will be ok with Daniela and Brown as long as trhey defend well.

I personally rate Daniela and I think we were all impressed (amazed) by Brown late last season.

If they defend well, we will be ok, because their attack is excellent and Benjamin will be feeding them all day.

we could always throw Fitzy a life line

I know he was running across-field in cover and I didn't see where he started from, but he looked to be the only person other than Lawrence who could've been a chance to run Ferguson down on his 80m try the other night... Lost some pace, sure, but maybe he's still got a little bit left in there after all.

 

[R2Coupe]

Tigers need pace on the left wing. Brown to left centre, Tagive to left wing.

Daniella is a right centre and to move Ayshford to accommodate him is further disrupting and already depleted team.

 

[bubblesunlimited]

Ayshford played left centre against the Roosters in the semis last year when Laurence was out with a broken jaw.

Daniela is a must in my opinion.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Daniela the saviour.

He goes hard.

Please.. Fafita showed more pace then "the Turtle"...

 

[N.C.]

Sure.

I was just surprised by it is all...

 

[abpanther]

How long is Fulton out for? I can't find any info anywhere

 

[TigersFan101]

Heard that Gibbs is a chance to play today, who will he replace?
For mine woods has done enough to stay in the sqaud

Beau Ryan last week said he will be back in 3 weeks - so looks like round 6/7

Thank god Beau will save us :sarcasm:
