[Old Time Tiger]

I'll go 1st. So no Valentine Holmes, Jordan McLean & Michael Morgan.

Tigers need to replace Packer and possibly Luciano Leilua.

I like that it's 2 forwards that are out, if it's forwards to replace forwards, the replacements have to have such a game (even from the bench) so that Madge has no choice than to keep picking him rather than Packer when he is back. Whoever replaces Leilua is in the same boat whereby Madge might think of bringing Leilua back as a bench warmer. That's what i'd like.

Have we got those players from, Garner, Clarke, Seyfarth, Chee-Kam etc.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Our squad has too many back up backrowers. McQueen, McIntyre and Taylor, yuck.

Assuming LL is fit I think we’ll see the same starting 13 and Eisenhuth in for Packer. Maybe Clarke for Seyfarth as he still doesn’t look ready.

Wouldn’t mind seeing Shaun Blore on the bench, even for just a 20 min stint

 

[Perth Tiger]

If LL is out I would start Chee Kam and Lawrence (Madge must have him there for a reason, leadership in a young pack is my guess) and bring that young kid Blore off the bench to spell Lawrence.

I wouldn't see the need of bringing Garner back after only 1 week.

 

[Tigerm]

Our season is basically on the line already with this one. Time for the boys to turn up & play like men.

They will. Us by 18. AD MoM.

 

[Trollhammaren]

Cows were hideous last weekend, and are missing a couple. If we lose this I'll be on suicide watch.

Fire up, lads.

 

[WA Tiger]

Two mediocre teams ...Madge wants to stick with last weeks team coz that’s what he always does just for the sake of a “settled team” ...,but he knows despite Benjis potential weaknesses (lessened hopefully with a week on the bench to think about it) that he can put on 10 points in the blink of an eye regardless of the situation ..esp with the improved team attitude. Whos going to win ?? no idea..

I hope he plays Blore. I want to see more of those “stop right there big fella”!! tackles

 

[The unknown]

I'll go 1st. So no Valentine Holmes, Jordan McLean & Michael Morgan.

If we can’t win with those players out we are absolutely pathetic

 

[WA Tiger]

If Madge doesn’t at least for this one game today drop Brookes we will be stuck with a rudderless halfback for 2 more years ..or is it more ...

[Old Time Tiger]

Good to see f&^%$@g Jennings back.

 

[The unknown]

Talau is injured btw, not dropped

Outside backs depth is screwed. I’d rather just debut f**king Hoffman or Bradley than Jennings

 

[Perth Tiger]

So is Talau injured?

Hopefully Hoffman is slated to play on the wing and Madge is just lessening the hype around him by naming Jennings, or at least that is what I bloody well hope is the plan.

I guess we might as well see if McIntyre has anything as well

 

[Tigerm]

Quite unbelievable the faith Madge has in Jennings, I hope it is well founded.

To me, it shows that all the BS he went on with after the Titans defeat was just a show.

Though not saying it is a bad team, just think we could have put a better one on the field.

I note, CT is sheeted to play for the Titans this week?

 

[Perth Tiger]

Are we even able to play Hoffman? I thought he was on a development contract or have they loosened the restrictions on when development players can get a game for this year?

 

[Old Time Tiger]

How are they going to see if Bradley can make a go of it if they don't give him a go.

Tall back rower who played all last year on the wing,

Tall at 196 than Jennings (192) same weight and he may have been training in the forwards, I'd play him before Jennings anyway.

He's not in the extended squad so it doesn't matter.

Seeing Jennings listed has me more pi55ed than any selection for a while.

 

[Tiger05]

Talau is injured btw, not dropped

I wanted to know what had happened. He deserved to keep his spot.

 

[The unknown]

Are we even able to play Hoffman? I thought he was on a development contract or have they loosened the restrictions on when development players can get a game for this year?

Dev players are exempt this year

Hoffman was the guy who stood out in the Penrith trial, also starred for QLD u18s a couple years ago

I'm a fan of a selection committee, because of this type of thing. I understand the Dragons have done it.

 

[WA Tiger]

If Madge doesn’t at least for this one game today drop Brookes we will be stuck with a rudderless halfback for 2 more years ..or is it more ...

I meant rudderless backline/ team
