Aloala needs a year in NSW Cup to develop.
Costly miss again last night on Hunt at the end.

Prefer Patterson given extended run.

I'd play Akaoula ahead of Patterson anyday, defensive issues aside.

 

[Tiger05]

Akaoula could be anything. Sirro is also a gun so I don't know where we fit them all.

 

[super_coach]

Akaoula,looks a real athlete, as others have said probably needs more time in state cup,but in a year or so he will be very dangerous edge runner. Although his defence and discipline need plenty of work

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Akaoula could be anything. Sirro is also a gun so I don't know where we fit them all.

I would like to see, once all our injured players are back:

1. Tedesco
2. Koroibete
3. Nofoaluma
4. Simona
5. Richards
6. Austin
7. Brooks
8. Woods
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Thompson
12. Sironen
13. Blair

14. Akaola
15. Gavet
16. Taupau
17. Seumanufagai

I would find it very hard to leave Sue out of a full strength side.

He needs to play 80 in State Cup this week to get some miles in the body though

I knew I forgot somebody, whoops. I'd definitely have him in the 17.

[super_coach]

I know we have had plenty of injuries and unavailable players but or attack has gone backwards this year. Their seems to be no flair what so ever. Granted the raiders were playing a under strength Cowboys outfit, but they did show they could attack with plenty of flair.

Its seems Potter has thrown all his efforts into making us into a dour defensive unit. The Bronks game on Saturday night was like a session of root canal therapy at the dentist.

Iam starting to have some doubts if Potter is the right man to be taking our club forward

 

[TimmyB]

Potter''s partiality towards Lulia is approaching the level of Sheens' love for Fitzhenry. What a master stroke playing two backs on the bench! Under Potter's stewardship our attack has gone backwards. Without Farah our only hope of scoring a try is via a deflection or intercept. Stats do not reflect how dire our attack has been this year and Potter must shoulder some responsibility.

This is the key in my opinion.

Wait until he's back for an extended run and let's see.

I do worry that Simona does not seem to be getting any quality ball though.

 

[benched tiger]

Our attack is a worry,relying on one out plays is safe but it's not going to score you points or win matches.Even on our last play on Saturday there was a massive gap on the far right which was not taken advantage of by a pass or kick to Nofo on his wing that could of won us the match.

1. Tedesco

8. Woods
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Thompson
12. Sironen

14. Akaola
15. Gavet
16. Taupau
17. Seumanufagai

I would swap Austin and Moses. Akaola might not get a spot because Halatau gets the spot but I think that is a really good team. It leaves no spot though for Fulton, Lawrence or Sue and one of Halatau or Akaola.

At some point I think Potter will need to leave some players out. I wouldn't play Sue ahead of any of the other options we have on the bench.

 

[Tigers Tale]

Credit to Potter for strengthening our defence but West Tigers have never been a defensive team...ever!!! It was always if you score 18 we'll score 20, attack was always their strength. For some reason we seem to have lost that ability.

I think Hybrids team (i'd put Sue in for Ako) is the way we should be heading. I know Koro is a liability in defence but he is a try scorer pure and simple. We will lose him if we don't use him, he'll be on the first decent offer to come his way. We need to get back to what we do best and that is outscoring other teams....not trying to out defend them.

 

[BuffaloRules]

Some questions:

Anyone think he will make any changes to the back line after last nights effort?

Surely he can't persist with Anasta at 6?

Does he want to keep his job in 2015?

 

[Pistol_Pete]

I think Fitzy and j mo left the pictures of influential people with farm animals with analsta.
