I realise we’re expected to win this well, and I believe we can!

Just looking at the Tigers team - our bench is WAY more experienced than theirs…

Let’s do this!!!!

 

[roboshark]

Surprised Miller on wing. Ika must be out of favour

I'd even prefer .... Hiroti

 

[bluefox68]

Miller brings speed and unpredictability…

He might do alright - there’s a 90% chance of rain in Tamworth thus Saturday, temperature between 6 and 16 degrees…

 

[DJDL]

Very surprised, and disappointed to see Miller on the wing.

I think Iro named on the extended reserves is an indication it might change before game day though.

 

[shaggs]

Give miller a go. The bloke had never had a rugby league game in his life on the wing.

He knows that his role is to get in there, take the hard Carries and get metres.

I’d like to see him in space, plus again, he provides that coverage. Multi position player.

The usual process is, 18th man and then a debut. The others all had their time as 18th until the opportunity came.

 

[ragzouken]

Probs see iro next week, I’d assume sifa will have a rest if moylan is fit

 

[shaggs]

Also the tigers wings and centres are Toa, Robert’s, kefuosa, naden.

I assume miller plays right side again. Marking against Naden. Looked good last week, but is fairly shit

 

[roboshark]

Fitz rarely makes changes off the extended bench. Unless injury

 

[Mr Angry]

I am just happy to see him 18th man, well played again Fitz.

Miller will be fine.

 

[toomuchsoup]

Bit surprised Ikavalu hasn’t been picked. I thought he was pretty decent at the Poosters and I liked what I saw in his few appeara at the start of the season. But as they say, “in Fitzy we trust”

 

[txta2]

Sifa can't play with that shoulder like that, Iro might get a call up

 

[DJDL]

Nothing against Miller it’s just that, as @shaggs pointed out, he’d never played wing before last week.

I’d prefer to go with someone who has experience there.

Be the only way he makes metres. He was lame the other day on returns.

Which I don’t understand. He was good against the titans for returns. When you have Katoa Ron and Conner as the mark, it’s hard to accept anything less.
Even your sweetheart valentine was a good returner.
For everything the sharks lacked the past 6 years, returners wasn’t it

I agree. Fitz has generally proven he's prepared to give players more than a single game for an opportunity and also shown that when you're 18th man, you're the next man up.

I thought Miller was decidedly average on the wing but he was playing in an unfamiliar position in unexpected circumstances. He was however pretty stellar in his game against the tits and warrants at least another opportunity.

In the event he has another Barry Crocker, Iro will be better for having had a full week training with the FG squad and preparing as though he is playing by being 18th man this week.

Depending on the concussion protocols, CT might miss more than 1 game.
