[benched tiger]

What else could there be,this dud is in his 3rd season with WT and is yet to show one ounce of ability let alone any improvement since he started.

Believe it or not it is his 4th year. Nearly makes you cry

There needs to be an investigation into this.....:crazy:...4 years ago we started sliding into the abyss,now we know why,thanks Buchanan you plodder.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Well there's hope. WT put a pic up on Twitter of the team in a huddle at training. It's the 17 playing on Monday + Lawrence + Griffin however no Buchanan. Fingers crossed Griffin comes in for him. Would make sense.

Could've just been taking a piss. Wont really know if he's been dropped until the reserves play on the weekend tbh

I reckon having Lovett and Halatau in the back row is a much bigger issue than having Buchanan on the bench

 

[natheel]

Well good luck for Monday. May the best team win. Staunch defence v great attack. Will be a great game

 

[Tigerted]

Staunch defence should prevail over tissue paper defence.Parra could rest half there starting pack & still win this one comfortably.WT backrow & bench isn't up to NRL standard.

Moses has said that the Tigers will be looking to play conservatively to match it with the Eels.

Conservatively =Taylor Ball . Our only hope is to go crazy in attack and hope every ball sticks and we can rack up enough points and possession to be able to defend .
I cant help but see Parra standing in tackles and offloading at will.
Strange things can happen in footy , just hoping Monday is one of them games and we somehow win against the odds.

 

[madunit]

Only way to beat Parra is to play wide of the ruck. Put Woods in the back row and run him at Norman or Foran all game

 

[macnaz]

We were able to handle the Warriors for the most part , so im hoping we can run the Parra big guys off their feet as well. Cant see it but just trying to be optimistic

 

[Tigerted]

I have zero confidence that we will be able to deal with there forwards.They r a very strong & well balanced team with few weaknesses.We haven't played a team as good as them yet.

 

[BrotherJim05]

We need to stop the nonsense. By this I mean:
- balance out starters and bench so that we always have solid players on the field
- Robbie to play 80 mins, sorry but no need for cherrington
- practice passing and catching. I know that this isn't seen as a big deal from Taylor but I'm telling you it is cost us the Titans game. When you pass the ball, make sure the person you are passing to is able to catch it. I don't think our players realise that if they drop the ball there is a very good chance the other team will get the ball back. It must be hard for Taylor to coach them on attacking plays when our players don't realise how important catching is

Couldn't agree more with that last point. I reckon we've conceded about 4-5 tries this year off the back of dumb f**k errors and drop balls even in under 7s you wouldn't see

I'm cool with Cherrington being on the bench. I don't even have an issue with the squad chosen. I don't think Lovett is up to it and it's taken me a while to state that so it's not an off the cuff response.

I completely agree with the last point though. I think that is why we lost against the Titans. I think Brooks came up with some howlers and Tedesco tried to do too much when it wasn't really required. If we had just held the ball and not made the dumb pass I think we win that game.

I still reckon we can beat Parra. It's a tough ask but if we play smart footy we can win.

 

[Vic Mackey]

We were outsiders the last 2 years and won. The Titans are a lot better then most give them credit for and Henry has consistently proven himself as one of the games best coaches. We couldn't have played any worse and still only went down 5 tries to 4.

Our backrow being out is a huge blow but Farah back is a massive in. I think our middle forwards are stronger then theirs, if we can win that battle I'm confident we have more points in us then parra.

 

[Tigerted]

Parra r a heck of a lot stronger this season than the previous 2 yrs.The jury is still out on whether we've improved much if at all this season.Some things haven't changed particularly the switching of for a good chunk of the game especially b4 & after half time & our shithouse defence.I hope I'm wrong but if parra maintain there form of last 3 weeks they will win & most likely easily.

 

[Rhyno]

Beau "The Hit Man" Scott will take Moses outta the game early

 

[Mr Pmatta]

Farah starting on the bench, as issues continue to "simmer" at ur club, clearly nothing has changed between Taylor and that Deadshit Farah.

It's not 2010, Scott couldn't intimidate an Sg ball pack. But at least he's keeping ken Edwards on the bench for us.
