[Tigers Tale]

With the corrected NRL table we are actually sitting 10th with our for and against. We really need to put the Knights to the sword to get back into positive territory.

We really don't want to lose touch with other teams. It might only be mid season but it is these games we should be winning and winning well. Hope Farah is on fire....

 

[FootynRacing]

Who is everyone expecting to drop off the extended bench ? Like most people i'd prefer Austin to be wearing the 6 jersey but I also feel like Potter has clearly decided that Anasta is the man for the job so why play Austin at all ? It kind of made sense when Farah wasn't in the side but now that he is shouldn't we be going back to having 4 forwards on the bench ? We were dominating teams when this was happening. Does everyone expect things to go back that way once Gavet is back onboard ?

 

[macnaz]

Knights on a massive losing streak , stand by and watch us play them back in to form .

 

[madunit]

I'd drop Austin and bring in Sironen.

Sironen provides better versatility than Austin, as he is a capable five-eighth and a much better forward.

He'd likely have a better combination with Brooks too than Austin.

I wouldn't be surprised if Blair moves to the second row and Siro plays at Lock, which will allow him to play more second receiver and will ease him into the top level.

 

[Tigers Tale]

I could live with Blair moving to the second row. His form is up so I am guessing his personal confidence is also up. He has shown what he can do when he has a dig so he could be damaging running a bit wider. We have some good bench players that can fill his rotation and play in tight.

Actually I wound't mind seeing it. We just lack that little bit in our second row so I am for it...

Obvious choice,Austin at 6 for Braith,and Sirro onto bench.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Playing lOck these days is exclusively in the middle, it doesn't work being a second 5/8. The edge forward is now the second 5/8 like g Stewart at manly.

Pretty pissed at no gavet, last week we were told he is back, then he isn't named. It's shit by the club who are constantly asking us to become members an support them etc, yet they tell us 1 thing then 4 days later it turns out to be wrong and they offer no explanation.

 

[gronkathon]

Rather he be held back then come back and re-injure it out of the gates.

Especially considering we are without Woods for the Souths game and they lose essentially Inglis

I get your point,but Stewart plays lock at manly.

+1

 

[super_coach]

Like most others I would slot Austen into six, Siro on the bench and Anasta to take over Skandos job as water boy,. but we know that will never happen, so Iam afraid its Austen to state cup and Siro to the bench.

Got a feeling the Knights are going to be up for this game and a team playing at home, throwing caution to the wind and their fair share of class players can make any team look silly. This is make or break for us, a loss and we are in all sorts of bother and it is a real chance

I hope so!!

 

[Vic Mackey]

He plays in the 13 but has always been manlys right second rower

Horo is the left and watmough plays in the middle third, so watmough is really their lock despite being named at second row every week.

 

[Marshall_magic]

I think Austin will drop off the bench, although I'd play him in the halves with Brooks and leave Anasta out.

This is a big time danger game for us, as it's the type of game we usually lose. With our pack almost at full strength again (only Gavet is out) I think the big boys need to stand up and really make a statement here. I'm tipping a big game from Woodsy.

 

[benched tiger]

Every man and his dog, other then Potter knows it should be Anasta,not Austin who gets dropped from the team.Apart from Farah and Brooks,Austin is the only other player that has shown any spark in creating a try.

 

[macnaz]

I hope so!!

Put your house on it mate... we have the chance to pick a side that will put points on a team and blow them out of the park ..but once again we picked a side where every player has to bust their arse for every f**king point .. its great to grind out a win here and there but a team cannot rely on that alone . A Bennet team will beat us in that fashion everytime. This club never f**king changes .

 

[rex2ce]

They dont appear interested in scoring tries, Koribete is still in State Cup

Potter needs to change things up. I'd play Koro. Anasta though to me has to go because he simply isn't offering us anything.

I think Moses should be at 6. I hope Sirro doesn't drop off. I think we need him in the team.

 

[benched tiger]

Come the end of the year our for and against may come back to haint us.With players returning from injury and our team near full strength hopefully we can start putting teams to the sword for our own benefit.
