Match Discussion: Round 1 vs Wests Tigers @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leumeah / Dharawal

[macavity]

We’ll win comfortably.

Hope so, but I'm expecting a close one. They have a pretty good team this year, it's whether they click out the gate.

 

[Apey]

Yeah I had a read at it myself the other day and had a bit of a chuckle when one of them said their forwards should dominate ours lol

Well they do have Terrell May who is better than any of our forwards. But that's just one player.

Marshall will use his backs for own half yardage. Cos his pack are complete shit outside of May and Api. May does not have a motor at all. It is a huge reason Robbo let him walk. Luai is not going to get the time on the ball he is used to. He will lose his mind out there.

Im still confused why the Roosters moved him on.

This part. Luai is accustomed to being given an age to make decisions and its a major reason he's so illusive.

Frustrate him and steamroll the middle and the Tigers are cooked. Sh*t pack.

I'm not.

So have we all mentally prepared ourselves for Cogger to be named at halfback this arvo?

 

[ryan.a87]

Would rather Tyrone Thompson at 7 over Cogger

[Old dog]

No surprises, 1-17 as expected with Gamble injured and Elliott on comeback

 

[Woody90]

Apparently Gamble is going for back surgery today so strap yourselves in for a long period of Cogger yuck.

I swear he’s the luckiest player in the game. Gets a GF win for being a passenger for 20 minutes to the Cleary show and now gets a long run at starting 7 because the two better halves are either injured or can’t go a season without fighting his teammates in Hastings case.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Apart from a couple of good players, the Tigers team looks pretty dreadful..

Doueihi is going to have a fun night defending against Ponga, Best and Sharpe lol

 

[Woody90]

Shame about the predicted weather. The Tigers best way of winning would be if it turns into a wet weather slog fest. If it was a dry I think they might have trouble containing our backline. Need to bomb that Mason kid, he’s prone to errors.

 

[Yosh]

When Arthur is back, maybe Crossland to 7, Brailey to 9 and Arthur to 14?

We can’t swap halves the drunkards on 360 will be up in arms not to mention Denan Kemp and his obese mate.

Yosh, no.

Bad yosh, bad

 

[Mr_Knightside]

Nah no swapping halves again. If Gamble is out for an extended period then Cogger is the guy. Unless we miraculously sign a good NRL level halfback mid-season. It would also do a disservice to Crossland if he’s asked to play half again. Let him nail down the hooker spot.

Cogger isn’t great but chopping and changing halves every few weeks last season didn’t help things.

 

[ryan.a87]

If Cogger is the absolute worst…..who’s the next man up besides Crossland? Is it Hastings?

It'll have to be

 

[perverse]

I mean, aside from the 7, I like the team. That's a pretty good footy team with a dodgy pilot. We should still win well here.

What I don't want to see is the team show up and just expect it all to happen without doing the hard work after 1 good trial performance.
