Match Preview: NRL Round 22 vs Cowboys

Wests Tigers welcome North Queensland Cowboys to Leichhardt Oval on Thursday night for Women in League Round.

www.weststigers.com.au

One thing in the home side’s favour against North Queensland would appear to be the ‘eighth wonder of the world’. These teams have played 11 games at Leichhardt Oval over the years, with Wests Tigers claiming victory on nine occasions.

This has convinced me, us by 8, with Gal MoM.

Will Stef get booed tonight?

Will Stef get booed tonight?

I doubt it. He isn't that good.

 

[Maxxn99]

Laulilii went to head bin after a nasty whack last game so he prob he's out from concussion protocols thingy majig.
I haven't seen much of Johannssen tbh.
I'm really hoping Alaimalo has got over that knee injury as I believe he's a lot better than what he's shown so far.

Alaimalo is a poor man’s Mamarlo imo…cows should be there to be beating but I I’m not feeling it after the team named.

 

[Maxxn99]

Yeah I like the team too, glad Alaimalo is back. Would probably try Feledy for Faataape. Think we can give this a shake, cows missing a few forwards. I’ll tip us in an upset.m by 8.

If Drinkwater is off his game we’re a chance … but if he fires look out

 

[Tigerm]

I didn't realise this young fellas path, quite a rapid rise.
He probably won't get a run tonight (I don't think), but his highlights are pretty good.

 

[Tigerm]

I posted his game stats earlier, but had never seen a picture of him.
Fingers crossed, we may have found a smokey.

I'd seen nothing of him until you posted that tweet of him scoring that try in the NSW Cup thread. Really happy that he's getting a crack at first grade.

Team Update: Round 22 vs Cowboys

Wests Tigers have trimmed their squad to 19 players ahead of Friday's Indigenous Round match against the Cowboys in Townsville.

www.weststigers.com.au

Tim Johannssen makes his debut which is great but Sione Fainu dropping out is crap. The guy has been killing it.

 

[Perth Tiger]

Is Si Fainu injured or dropped? surely he has a injury or maybe resting him since he has had a big workload for his first season

Awesome, hope he can reproduce those stats that were posted earlier.

Thanks, that makes sense

It must have been a late injury as the tigers posted an injury update yesterday (see Injury Update 2024 thread) and there was nothing on it about him then.

He's probably ended a rest. Either way, he cemented a spot for next year.

 

[Nutz]

We've got this
