Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Dragons @ WIN Stadium

[Tiger05]

Big ask for Walters to play 80 mins though, considering he looked completely gassed after only 40 in the trial

I do think Madge is hoping Momo is fully fit hence he is being kept in the 19

I can't see him lasting. We'll find out tomorrow (hopefully).

 

[Tigers Tale]

Yeah he’s out. They are saying Reynolds/Benji in the halves for now but wouldn’t surprise if Momo was fit they throw him into the centre’s and chuck AD into the halves because I have concerns Walters can’t pump out 80 mins

Either way it’ll be interesting to see how we play without Brooks because I can’t remember the last time we’ve played without him

I reckon this is the way to go too. Momo to centre and AD to 5/8. I think that is a stronger option and let Reynold come off the bench to back up Walters.

I think as good as the Dragons forwards are our pack will at least match them....if we are going to win, it will be through our backs and I think the stable option is going with Momo at centre and AD at 5/8. I guess we'll find out on Sunday night.

Huge loss but this is a chance for Reynolds to prove his worth. First game he and Benji have played in the halves too

I hope Reynolds has a massive game, it is inside him somewhere. He just needs to do the little things right and not overplay his hand, Benji too for that matter.

First 20 mins crucial, just hope our discipline is on point and the refs don’t blow the pea out of the whistle. Dragons will get frustrated if we contain their pack for the majority of the 1st half and our backs shit all over theirs where the points will flow

Well, time to get a rub down, get the strapping applied (don't forget the headband) and apply the dencorub liberally.

Get the beers on ice, kick the misses out of the house and settle into your chair.

Finally, it's game day. Go you good things

Momo travelled with the team down to the gong, maybe that’s an indication he will be playing??

Dragons were also one of the teams stupid enough to send nearly their entire 1st grade team over and suffered 3 injuries

beware the wounded dragons then

No just beware of any team we are expected to beat.

Maybe ..silly not to take him ..last resort only

WOW, aren't we lucky you stumbled onto our site.

 

[Vozzy]

f**k me Garner is massive this year he has a Boyd Cordner type body. Let's hope a big future maybe he can become our Ellis.

 

[Tigerm]

f**k me, what a shit start to a game. How the f**k we are only 6 behind beggers belief.

They haven't used BJ hardly at all. Thommo is having a shocker along with a few others.

 

[Phil Gould]

I only caught the last 10 mins. Looks like Benji is reading the play well but to me, Joey is the game breaker. Set him up with a run near the line and good things will come.

 

[Perth Tiger]

Can we now end the dream Thompson is a full time fullback? AD may not end up as the answer but at least he has a chance, surely need to make the change for next week if not at half time

You're lucky you didn't see the first 30, both side were shocking. A mistakeathon.

 

[Perth Tiger]

BJ and Luc spend the whole pre season looking dangerous and then we spend the whole first half playing to the other side. Hopefully we can put it down to an over exuberant Reynolds and we can readjust and give some early ball in the second half
