Thanks for that. 18th man is used for HIA. Doubt it he will be used so Api will be fresh for the Sharks two days later.Api won't play either. Been named the official 18th man rules him out this week.
At the very least we need to hope Dylan and J’Maine are fit to play.

The brilliant Daine Laurie has spent more quality time with this weeks smug side than Ivan!
He will be up to speed with all of the secret tricks and Achilles heels of your illustrious sub-junior line up.
Of course I still think we need Lucy to drive the point home!
Dylan v Laurie would be a great spectacle. A bit of grudge as well!
No grudge involved mate. Daine was highly regarded in his time with us, the club always knew he was an NRL player in waiting and too our credit we allowed him to leave and fulfill his dream All Panthers fans wished him well and are enjoying seeing him make every post a winner with you guys, great to see.
Well as you know, I love my Dylan and he kept Daine out of the first grade. So there may be some come uppences.
Dylan’s going to want to dominate and show Daine who is the boss and Daine will want to send the message to Ivan that he’s next immortal or something.
Daine just learns. One of a couple of our players who never goes backwards. Tigers lu we want to extend him now.
Could have been the Smug King still, but the lure of the green always wins out. Not any sort of matchwinner, but I do feel we aren't quite as good up front without him.View attachment 48992
The Smug King returneth to wreak havoc and destroy the empire he helped to build.
He should be up for this one to prove a point.
Bulk cuddles after the match.

I almost want Edwards to be out so we see Tago at centre

Edwards unlikely to play by the sounds of it.
It was interesting reading the West Tigers forum a couple of weeks back (not the LU version) and your fans were already questioning young Daine Laurie. Couldn’t believe what I was reading, given how he had made such a promising start. One knucklehead was suggesting Daine couldn’t make a line break to save himself it was embarrassing reading. Anyway I’m sure he is back in favour but some fans really have no idea.
Poor Tamou. Probably having 2nd guesses if taking a few more $$$ was worth walking away from a potentail premiership.View attachment 48992

There’s a lot of fickleness out there. From my understanding of the sport, he’d be entitled to a couple of quiet games after such a stellar start and I wouldn’t bat an eyelid.
A lot of our Souths buddies were upset with the thrashings they received and calmed down last weekend, but they were always going to struggle and come good.
The key is consistency and Madge admitted only a handful of our players are in that zone right now. So we are out and about signing the earth. I like Nado and was sorry we missed him. We have a few players recovering and we might have helped him.

Thats more to do with the Tigers being 13th on the ladder. They are treating Laurie as a whipping boy because of it, especially as he is an easy ex-Panther target.It was interesting reading the West Tigers forum a couple of weeks back (not the LU version) and your fans were already questioning young Daine Laurie.

Might be an injury cloud with Cook, or some kind of utility role.Despite how dumb it is having a hooker 18th man. Any idea why it was changed? Given the 18th man will just sit on the bench
