Match Discussion: Round 27 vs Parramatta @ Campbelltown Sports Stadium, Leumeah / Dharawal

I believe so. Josh has scored tries at will in every grades hes played, however is considerably slower then most centres so can get burnt for pace.

He’s a good kid, may he channel his inner Turbo.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Benji is really fortunate he’s got the chance to etch some kind of mark into the tree of this season.

He has delivered in some games, he has conceded he wasn’t at his best in others, but this one is wholly clutch for a coach.

Im not big on Sukkar. He goes hard, more of a second rower then a prop, but a bit small and lacks impact. Still good luck to the kid, another local junior making his debut

Anyone else hear reports of scalpers wanting $200?

I thought it must be Richo!

I met sukkar last wk at my cousins sons 21st.Lovely kid but thing I noticed was he needs to bulk up re upper body.I wish the kid all the best albeit a little concerned we r rushing him.

He puts in but it too small to make any sort of impact in NSW cup, let alone NRL. If he could put on a bit of size he could turn himself into a Liam Martin style player, but yeah I don’t really see it.

It’s interesting how some players can bulk up well and others can’t.

The older I get and the more league I see, the more weight I give to smaller players who defy their natural shortcomings and have big hearts.

Some of the older forumers here will remember the likes of the prince of darkness, who had a basic factory body but used it with breathtaking intensity, skill and purpose.

But footy mate at work Vic, he’s of the average male height, full alpha male (weights and boxer), but he got told he wasn’t quite up to gig physically. Mind blowing.

All first grade players are a highly elite lot, somehow threaded the needle one way or another.

One of the more intriguing aspects of the game.

And poor Tuki, all that size and power, just couldn’t be harnessed.

And he panicked and fled in that car accident caper. Kids will be kids I guess. So unwise, he did everything he shouldn’t have done, ticked every box.

Gee that's a young teen halves pairing.
Young Sukkar gets a gig, the 12th to make the debut this year.
Imagine if his career doesn't pan out well for him and in 15yrs time his son asks,
"how many NRL games did you play dad?
"One son"
What happened?
"We lost and got our third wooden spoon, didn't play another game, can you lend 10bucks son?"

Congratulations to him I say!

F&&k the Brooksian bludgers, I hope the kids win this.

Too young, Too short.. I don’t buy it ..These young guys will be more excited than nervous.. They’re ready and have been waiting for this all year… Masons and Latu’s acceleration and Latu’s “mature” head and confidence will be big for our little grand final..

I'm actually looking forward to it. I'm hoping for a big effort from our forwards because if we don't measure up our halves will do more defending than attacking. I agree that Latu has a lot to offer and his role could be the key to us getting the points.

Congrats and kick arse young fella.

Good luck to him. We've had heaps of good debuts this year. Let's hope this is another one.

It’s a most unlikely side for many reasons, but so is having a spoonbowl, a single game to rest an entire seasons worth of effort on.

So much better than passing away at the bottom of the table without a snowflakes.

And I’ve been critical of many things throughout the year, but I personally feel it would discredit all of us if I pile on before this historic, enigmatic and exciting match.

So I wish the team, Benji, officials, my club and all of our stakeholders all the best in the world for this.

Up the mighty Wests Tigers!

Let’s get up on our f**king feet and fight to the death.

That’s who we are, that’s our values and purpose in this man’s game.

No surrender whatever the price may be.

Losing this one is not an option.

Crack up TSP.
Maybe we should do a zoom call from various clubs and pubs where we frequent and have a type of grandfinal day. Stream the collective event to Foxtel.
I know we have members in Perth, Brizzy, Sydney let's partè

Yeah, I’m sure it’s not the side he wanted for the last game of the year, in an incredibly defining game for him and the team, but it is, what it is.

It’s what dreams are made of.
Just hope it’s not a nightmare.

 

[Nutz]

On "X" it's saying that Justin Matamua is in. Does that mean he's on the bench or reserve still?

This is the biggest game in the lives of many of our players.

Started on the bench or couldn’t get a run at the start of the year in juniors, now being called upon to save the club (from!) itself.

Millions of dollars and the hearts and minds of hundreds of thousands of desperate fans are in the hands of kids who should home be in the kitchen doing their homework.

Pretty f**king incredible, I’m having it that’s tor sure.

Go you young Tigers, fire the f**k up and take your place in rugby league history.

After years of darkness, I can make out a hazy glimmer of hope on the scratchy black horizon. I look at it, it dissapears ,but I turn away and in my peripheral vision, I swear I can see the bare outline a muffled paw.

The eyes of the league are upon us. We shall not let them pass and we shall live and learn to love our footy again!

Its our time lads.

The game shall be ours.
