Fafita is going to kill us, he will score more try’s than we have all year.

 

[Maxxn99]

Big question is should we go with the same 17. If Roberts comes back in does Talau drop out??
Rucked it out well today Tommy... somehow I don’t think he has the goods though.

 

[Shredder]

I think Talau will do some sideline time after that shoulder charge.

I hope Cini keeps his spot.

No way in heck should Roberts come into the side until he shows something in reserve grade. He's been awful all year and needs some confidence.

 

[Tigerm]

It has begun, we are on our way, us by 10, with Cini getting a double and AD MoM again.

Well T Talau will be out this week.

C Thompson out injured for the Tits.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Damn we really have a cruisey next 5ish games

we have the ability to beat all of them, the south’s game showed that ... it’s whether we can do it consistently

5/5 would be perfect but I think at the very least we need 4/5 wins to get us back into the groove

I don’t trust these f**kwits one bit though and we’ll probably fall back into a heap and get lapped next week

Watched the Talau one again, was pretty stupid from him however was really just a nudge. Sadly I don’t think it’s defendable from him, just take the week.

Not sure what’s doing with Jet, but we can’t have MCK at center, need Mbye to come in.

Yep, like to see Mbye at centre and Liddle have a run at 9 and Simpkin in the 14.

Don't do it to yourself mate. The Souths game was an anomaly.

The better way to look at it, is if we play like we did in the other 7 games, we will be flat out winning two of the next five.

 

[Mario chalmers]

Huge week for team selection.

If Mbye plays left centre (which I think is our only option) then that shifts BJ to the right defending outside his brother. We cannot have the Leilua combo or any shitty defenders marking up on Fifita.

I would personally bring Shawn Blore in to play right side backrow from the start. He can hit. Plain and simple.

Garner misses a lot of tackles doesn't inspire a lot with his carries (though he has looked good running off Brooks)

We cannot have Alex Seyfarth near first grade until he gets some leg drive. I don't care how hard he tries. We need hard runners to get over the advantage line.

I think the fifth game is panthers, bit hopeful.

I’m not sold on ofahenguae. Lazy, always got hands on hips.

They’ll be without their origin players though and at Leichhardt

Still always shit the bed against depleted teams though

Just looked up the next 5games only match I can tigers winning is the knights match

Yeah ... but nobody gives a rats what you think

Happy for Tuki Simpkins to start as I think he has more to offer. There is plenty of merit in throwing in rookies as Cini showed yesterday. We're 2 and 6 with nothing to lose.

The sad thing is that Joffa was offered a 3 year contract when his form did nothing to warrant it.

He came out publicly after he signed with us saying "he had no other offers" which is a pretty poor reflection on our recruitment team.

 

[Maxxn99]

To be honest I don’t look forward anymore, mainly to save my health. All I know is Titans next and probably on a Sunday.
Would be good to keep the same team out on the field for an extended time though. You’d think they would be working on their defence going by what they’ve dished out in their last 3.
Could be abit of a slugfest tbh
