[Fordy20]

We get to play last on a wet weekend after the pitch has been torn up by seven other games.

Ready for a fresh batch of injuries?

Im not expecting any magic .

The way the cows move the ball and the pace of their backs means pouring rain and a torn up pitch will be a god send.

If Nofa, Luc and Ken are all good I give us a big chance here. Cows are playing very good footy but we’re sloppy against the knights and most teams would have beaten them. They’ve been up for a long time, you often find teams that have just started being good can’t keep these performances up. They’ll have a shocker at some stage in the next few weeks.

I think we’re going a lot better then our results suggest. It’s been injuries and I know this a cop out but a lot of ‘bad luck’ has stopped us probably winning 3 games.

My guess there will be a try in it either way.

 

[Trollhammaren]

Cows are full of confidence right now, but they aren't there yet. Time to give them a wake up call. If we can just stop the silly bloody errors (like in the Manly game) I can see an upset here.

 

[Tigerm]

Probably the best side we could muster, I think we owe this mob a beating, so us by 6, with Jacko MoM.

 

[Tiger05]

It's a tough game. I hope at some point the ball bounces our way and the team fires. If that happens we are in with a chance.

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

I think we need it to be pouring down and a real arm wrestle to have a good shot. We've shown over the last couple of weeks that we can play this sort of game. Plus it will take away a lot of their speed advantage. Given a fair shot by the ref and no injuries I give us a decent chance of a close win.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Kepeoa out with COVID and Mikaele has failed the concussion protocols

Saw a rumour that Peacheys gunna play centre and Nu Brown will come onto the bench with Pole travelling with the team in place of Mikaele

 

[Pezz70]

We need to throw in a young centre, this season is a write off, and so is this game, throw in a young fella, can’t keep playing mediocre footballers outside of their positions (Garner - good defender - next to useless in attack- unless running backrowers lines on the left edge, that’s not to say he hasn’t done an admirable job but there’s just no future in him playing centre for us), be better to use Garner off the bench for Tuilagi. We also need Gildart to improve his defence, I think garner defending next to him would be a good thing.

 

[Tigerm]

Late updates

Junior Pauga replacing Asu Kepaoa (covid)

Junior Tupou replacing Oliver Gildart (calf)

Good luck

Round 10 vs North Queensland Cowboys

Wests Tigers have a couple of 'Juniors' in their 19-man squad to face the Cowboys, one poised to make his NRL debut.

[Tiger05]

We are so screwed with injuries.

Hopefully an opportunity to show they are up to it and put a case forward to be picked on a regular basis?

The 2 juniors are garbage & barely NSW cup std.We deadset need 80 mins of torrential rain to have any chance.

I was going to ask has anyone seen them play?

Bugger, then.

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Well Raiders, Knights and Titans got up meaning Tigers are back to 15th. Need the upset of the round.

Need huge defensive games from Twal and Seyfarth.

 

[Pezz70]

As posted previously this is something that needs to be done, probably not the best game for a debut but we no chance of a finals birth might as well give the young fellas a taste

Pauga is ok on his feet, thats if he can hold the ball.. and he dogs it in defence as well. It is magic round so it might change

 

[Pezz70]

That pass from Brooks to Garner, absolutely superb. The set play was executed perfectly

 

[Pezz70]

2m forward that pass try to Feldt
