Probably the true cost of being financially poor with outdated facilities and very limited sports science

The biggest complaint I have of Potter, in fact the only complaint I have of him is his dogmatic approach to selections. Truth is I agree with his policy of position for position however only where there is a benefit.

Potter seems like he is going to persist with Anasta all year when we have Austin on standby. I think the team has gone off the boil in attack and I think the main reason is the service from Anasta. We have Simona who has PROVEN his attack sitting out on the right doing nothing, so too Nofo. Two very potent players just making up numbers.

I agree with you completely. Simona needs to be left side, he is a freakish try scoring machine when he plays there.

The only thing that recently came to mind was where Moses will fit in. If he will be playing right side and brooks left side then I could see why Potter wants Simona on the right. Moses/Simona would be a lethal combination.

Either way, I want to see one game with Simona on the left very soon.

WTF is with no Gavet? They said 3 weeks ago the big gorilla would be back. We are going to get owned without him.

What is it with you, you ranted the other week about racism & homophobia & how disgusting it is, yet you to do it yourself, you have recently been caught out now, not once, but twice.

It has just been reported that Moses was the one responsible for the "f**king gay c***" slur in the U20's Origin game at the weekend.

This is an absolutely disgusting act by Moses, and the fact he has got 2 weeks suspension is sickening. We ban people for life for calling players racist names and claim to be a sport supporting women through the farcical "Women in League Round". So why then does the NRL take it so lightly when a PLAYER is brutally homophobic towards another player. Swearing at each other is part of the game, but bringing sexuality into it is disgusting. It is laughable that mere weeks ago the code began encouraging people to come out and admit they are gay. Why the f**k would young players want to come out, when uneducated f**king boofheads like Moses villify them. It is poor form and utter hypocrisy by the NRL that Moses gets off scott free for this.

The bottom line is, Moses should be sacked from his duties by the Wests Tigers. I will write them a letter strongly urging them too, although I doubt this will make any difference. Furthermore, Moses should be given a life ban by the NRL, just as fans who abuse players racially at games.

There is no difference between those scum-bag racists, and the scum-bag homophobe that Moses is. Actually, there is. Moses is a role model, and should know better. All the more reason to ban him.

When he debuts for our club I will be sickened. It is a disgrace to award him with such honours after this. He deserves to be punished for the scum that he is.

Maybe previewing before hitting the submit button would be helpful.

I agree that Racism is not acceptable, but it is subjective to how it is interpreted. I don't think LeagueLegend was calling him a "Big Gorilla" due to his Polynesian heritage, rather his enormous frame. However, if it were interpreted the other way then yeah...not cool.

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

LeagueLegend's history doesnt leave much to interpretation.

Should have been banned for previous racist comments.

Hypocryte with zero credability.

 

[Magpie Tragic]

If Simona and Lawrence switched sides that would be helpful. However I feel that the reason Simona gets poor ball is because Anasta gives him shocking service. If us tin was moved to 5/8, his service would greatly improve.

Didn't Simona start on the left side last year, maybe on the wing???
I remember him against Melbourne (I think) causing all sorts of havoc
down the left side

Turn it up you f**king idiot. A poorly phrased comment the first time which I retracted, and clearly when I was talking about Gavet then it was because the guy is enormous and plays like an animal.

By your dumb logic anyone calling Manu Vatuvai a "beast" is also a racist.

Saying a bloke plays like an animal is not racist you f**king nuffy.

Yeah, he scored that run away try @ Leichardt down the left. The way our halves played last year had the proclivity to run plays down the left, which appears to be the same this year. There is no problem with that, just now the players on the left don't suit the outcome we want from our attack. All that needs to be down is swap Richards and Lawrence. Potter needs to realise that we will get SO many more tries this way. Lawrence will never shimmy around his outside man or burn them with speed. Simona will. Lawrence is much better suited on the right where he can receive flat balls and burst through holes.

Thats how I see it.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Yeah Lawrence to right side for sure.

Even if it's just one game, I would really like to see if it works

 

[macnaz]

Lol @ Lawrence BURST through holes .

 

[Leaguelegend20]

Lol @ Lawrence BURST through holes .

I implied he had POTENTIAL to burst through holes. Whether he does it is another thing.

Yeah I know ...lol. just sounds funny.

 

[benched tiger]

I thought the days of this weeks bench were behind us.

FMD

My thoughts exactly,the next thing Potter will do is sit a bench player on bench for the full 80 min like his predecessor used to do,then again if its Lulia it might be a master stroke to leave him there so he doesn't f**k something up again!:sarcasm::crazy::roll::BDH:

How often have you called called Woods and Galloway gorillas ?? Anyway you know it was a stupid comment , you have either said it to be a troll or u are just a dumb prick.

Many times have I called Woodsy an animal and Galloway a behemoth. They're euphemistic labels, hardly anything malicious.

 

[ripthebodyhookthehead]

If Brooks fires Tigers win without a doubt

Fair enough mate , benefit of the doubt I guess ... but seriously if its not meant use some common sense before u post.

 

[magpie guy]

We are missing Gavet something awful. Also, we are only just hanging on with Ava as our only bench prop and Sue picking up the slack. We need Akoala on the bench this week for his metres off the bench especially considering halatau is being carried as a replacement hooker/utility. Austin should replace Anasta but we cannot afford to carry both.

I would rather Sue start at 13, Blair at 11 and Sironen at 6 with Anasta dropped from the side.

 

[Tiger05]

Anasta dropped from the side.

I think we all agree with this point.

I suppose he can defend pretty well. The problem is our attack is ordinary and we need to improve that. I think Sirro can improve that area though even playing in the backrow.

 

[BrotherJim05]

If we dropped Anasta for Austin it would free up a bench spot for another prop. If Gavet is unfit, I would really really love to see Brown get a run. The way he would get under Sam Burgess skin would be priceless.
