Match Discussion: Round 22 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium

[Vozzy]

Tamou was on crutches on his mrs instagram story last night.

Fingers crossed this is true. The bench and reserves at least means those players are training with the first team so hope they are in next year's plans.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I haven’t seen a team on paper as bad as that Cowboys team since the warriors side that beat us 2 weeks ago.

NQ by 8

Hope this is not an omen?

Wests Tigers to wear Women in League jersey in Round 22​

They wear it most weeks

 

[stryker]

Taumalolo out probably tips the scales our way to favouritism.
That probably means we will definitely lose

 

[benched tiger]

Is that Cowboys team or real, since when has Granville been a centre ?

If you were standing at say, Lidcombe, and were looking towards Parramatta . . . Granville would be the centre.
I'll see myself out . . . . .

They had him at fullback recently.

Wow! Payten is cooked. That's right up there with Fittler playing Anasta at fullback.

Wow! Payten is cooked. That's right up there with Fittler playing Anasta at fullback.

He was actually pretty good in his game at fullback, and he at least had some experience at the back as he play Qld cup at fullback before becoming a first grade hooker.

Centre though, any decent team would exploit that all day long. So I expect us to play the opposite side for most of the game.

Since this week when we make him look like Mal Meninga, Steve Renouf and Reg Gasnier combined

Well he has played under the sheeniuse the king of ridiculous selections, so I'm guessing a bit has rubbed off.
Can't wait until 2022 when he can weave his magical brilliance once again.

 

[Ned Kelly]

Tamou is out. Gotta be an improvement for our forwards.

 

[Tigerm]

Hasn't been that way, the last 2 weeks?

But a lot of our future forwards are playing, so it should be interesting. Good to see Jake Simpkin get a run.

No backs reserve though?

 

[Tiger05]

The team looks good to me. Simpkin and Simpkins are in the team. We have to run with two hookers because Liddle is struggling atm. Hopefully if we limit their minutes they can show us they can be quality NRL players.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Finally 2 hookers! We’ve been calling for it for ages. I’d like to see Simpkins start and Lids off the bench. I think Simpkins could play a role similar to B Smith, same build

It looks to me a bit like a team for next year with Jake S, Tuki and Tuilagi all on the bench.

In the press conference Madge seemed to insinuate Jet will play, so wouldn’t surprise me if there’s another shuffle to come.

Still not sure we win but happy Madge is giving some of the younger guys a go.

 

[gordsy]

Tamou was on crutches on his mrs instagram story last night.

Would we miss his 17 mins, 3 runs, four tackles, two of which were third man in efforts anyways ?

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Now that Mbye is on his way, we can expect some of his ‘champagne football’ to return.

It was revealed that he’s been trying to get out since the start of the season.

We’ve been screwing him around all year to make sure his impending exit is as financially favourable to us as possible.

I was ropable when he stole Doogies spot after a couple of fair games. That was Madge flattering himself, succumbing to weakness.

As a person, he’s a great guy, down to earth and loves his fans. Good luck to him.

 

[benched tiger]

I remember Jason Taylor moving Kyle Lovett to the centre’s during a game, what a disaster that turned out to be, everyone could see it was not working bar that imbecile Taylor.

But like Mbye, when all is said done, take jason out of any position of responsibility, he’s a f**king good bloke.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Hey @Vic Mackey, how much are we paying to sgi to take Mbye off our hands?

Anybody know?

I’m thinking $300k as an educated guess.
