Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Parramatta @ CommBank Stadium, Parramatta / Burramattagal

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Lots of good running efforts in some games this weekend.

King Gutho loves his games v WT, need to poleaxe him early.

Hopefully JB can fire. I think this game might suit him actually.

Team Update: Round 4 vs Eels

Wests Tigers have trimmed their squad to 19 players ahead of Easter Monday's match against Parramatta Eels.

Matamua and Latu Fainu stay with the team.
Fainu is a 5/8? With Bud in the 17, we have two halves sitting on the bench. A bit strange.

Hopefully Fainu comes in for the pathetic Sullivan although with Kepaoa on the bench it wont surprise if Matamua replaces Sullivan

Just seems strange to have a second reserve half, and a reserve half sitting on the bench.
I wonder what the thinking is.

Logical explanation is Benji is planning on replacing Sullivan with Fainu

So why pick Bud in the first place?

It’s strange enough to have a reserve half anyway, I’d rather TDS.

Another reason would be that either Galvin or Sezer is in doubt due to injury

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Overall I think Benji wants some speed on to run them around.

We just have to hope our pack stays industrious.

Mitch is more or less a game manager, so I think they will need to stick to basics in attack.

That said, Brown is marquee, gifted.

Tigers fans are up and about early on this one …..

Sharpening up the old fangs.

No Mitchy, no eelsys.

If I was Brad, I’d be so embarrassed by your bench, I’d wear a bag over my head for the day.

Mats will spend half his time hiding behind your rookie half. Cowardly narcissistic flog he is.

Prepare to say hi to your two best forwards….who happen to be playing for us!

Fire up merky, game day!

Buds playing, Fainu would just be insurance my guess. I expect Matamua to be 18th man, both he and Fainu will play a bit of NSW cup tomorrow

Yeah, maybe just to give Fainu a message, he is in there thoughts.

But if you counted Api as a fill in 7, we are running with 5 halves, anyway it doesn't really matter, it just seems weird.

 

[Tigerm]

I know this is unlikely, but if we were to get the win today by 24 pts, we would be leading the comp.

When was the last time we could say that hahaha

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

This game will probably determine if we’ve turned a corner …

sick of these one off good performances

Yeah, usually when we are playing a team that has a few of their good players out, meaning we should have a reasonable chance, we fluff it big time.

History is not on our side

So suddenly Stefano the Pillow and Ice would be automatic choices in the Eels run on team, sorry to disappoint you , but that wouldn’t happen.

Let’s hope it’s a good game and the Tigpies stay in the fight, may well be a close game.

so they wouldn’t get a start over Joffa and Kelma, both of who we released

So why did your club fight so hard to keep them, then?

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

This game has me worried. At the very least we should be in this right up util the death.

This is the type of game that historically, we just turn don't up for and expect the hard work will do itself.

If we can win this we have the Dolphins next week for a potentially huge 3 straight wins.

This wouldn't matter to most other supporters but we haven't achieved this for 6 years. It would be great to get that off our backs.
