Round 3 vs. Dragons

[hardbaby]

Ellis is one tough dude but I really doubt he'll play. That was a monster of a cork.

 

[muzby]

may the best team win..


so long as they're wearing red & white

 

[hybrid_tiger]

If Ellis doesn't play I don't like our chances. Even if Moors will do a really good job.

Do we really have nobody better than Sean f**king Meaney?

 

[Tigers Tale]

Meaney really has to be the person to drop off the bench. Fulton can fill in the backs with a reshuffle. Go with the big guys and rotate them properly.

 

[moller]

Meaney on the bench really doesn't inspire any confidence at all. He's been hopelessly shown up every time he's played FG. I'd rather Skando be our reserve back.
We'll need Ellis to be at close to be 100%, and Moltzen to play like a halfback to be in with a shout. He'll cop plenty, and I really don't fancy him to be the type to rise to the occasion. Hope I'm wrong.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Why not Tim Simona instead of Meaney?

I understand Lote, Koroibete and Utai are all injured but surely Simona is a better option than Meaney, who is a tried and tested failure.

 

[bubblesunlimited]

I feel sorry for Meaney, he has had more warm ups and then a pre match shower than anybody else on the planet. Fulton needs to never pass the ball ever again. Nothing good comes from a Fulton pass, run and tackle run and tackle, that's your job. Ellis is about 30/70 to play.

Oh crap is Koroibete injured as well , this may have been the 1 chance he was going to get. What about Grant ? Has anyone watched his state cup form.

 

[God-King Dean]

Always when these 'revenge' things gets talked up, it's always a let down. In fact, it usually the outraged that get disappointed.

I'm tipping Dragons, but as I fan of dark humour, I won't be able to help myself LOLing if Moltzen has a blinder winning MOTM. :lol:

 

[saint06]

i doubt timmy will get MOTM. Everytime the tigers win, you can be sure that award goes to benji, robbie and at the very least Gareth.

No one else gets a look in.

Looking forward to a good match.

100% right, it's getting to the stage where I cringe every time he looks to pass the ball.

I beg to differ, that ball he hit SKD on the chest with in the 99th minute of our first final V Roosters was of halfback quality.

 

[N.C.]

I hope you're not suggesting he's a halfback in the body of a skinny bloke?

Ha Ha Nice. He's got some balls, i'll give him that.

Sheens can coach, i dont think many people can deny that but apart from his team selections his biggest problem IMO is that the players seem to sometimes step on each others feet, by that i mean they dont know what their role is or they do know and do the opposite with no consequence.

The reason i say that is because i think Fulton is a good asset to the Tigers structure when he does what he's out there to do BUT when behind he turns to playmaker and it all goes to shit.

 

[Tiger05]

Lots of peeps said he could be a fantastic ball player. Personally I haven't seen it and I would rather see him hitting gaps and making tackles.

 

[Ronnie Dobbs]

You should lap us.

We have some major issues with our squad.

 

[Vic Mackey]

fulton was a great ball player in the juniors, we've never seen it in first grade as it didnt fit into the way sheens plays the team. its a shame as he could have been another glenn stewart...seriously

 

[Vic Mackey]

any team that has morris, soward, prior, latimore, ah mau and fien in it has major issues

 

[hybrid_tiger]

Soward's defense has been very good this year, IMO.

I don't get how Sheens suddenly turns him into someone who has a poor passing game. Sheens doesn't make Fulton pass it to the opposition.

I think that Sheens encourages off-loads from his players.

Maybe Fulton did have a good passing game in the lower grades but for whatever reason he cannot do it at NRL level.
