Round 7 v Warriors at WIN

[justadragon]

If Tamale is our future well maybe this is the time to bring him in at centre, we have to give these guys a start at some stage. I would also like to see Tuitavake get a run as well.

 

[Inisai Toga]

Tigers pulled a great crowd to Campbelltown, I wonder how packed the hill will be at the gong…

Play it at 3:00 on a Sunday Autumn day we will. Friday 6:00…. ridiculous time for everyone.

 

[Divine]

Flanno did say pre-season that Hot Tamale will get an opportunity at some stage.

Play it at 3:00 on a Sunday Autum day will will. Friday 6:00…. ridiculous time for everyone.

Yep fair point. that slot is primarily for fox/Kayo sports viewers.
And also it’s 8pm in NZ for warriors fans

 

[Dribble&Yarn]

if it was me, I would have CT left wing, Rava back to the right and lomax to centre. He can still roam and do everything he does from there anyway (and it will really help Rava). BMM the one to drop off the bench, he played well but I don't think he can play any more minutes than he did on the weekend, which is hard to carry on the bench

As much as want to see Tamale succeed and given a crack, I don't think this is the game to do it.

He is either, promoted to right centre and put up against RTS in his first ever game. An actual nightmare.

Or he is put at left centre with Suli put on the right and he is defending the most dangerous shift in the game, the warriors left to right shift with DWZ on the end of it.

He could be put on the wing outside either Suli or Lomax but I don't think he is a winger. CT or Finau are better out and out wingers if that is the case.

Just wouldn't want to throw him to the wolves in his first NRL game when it would only be cover for Bird who would come back the following week.

Bird being unavailable is a blessing in disguise.
He needed a rest and we need new blood.
let the blooding begin.

Yes mate. The week before he went down, and I thought it was a serious leg injury with that grimace. Yesterday he took a battering. Has played well, but as you say a break may be the best result.

 

[Runner]

On reflection, I think the best option is to put Rava back to the right wing and bring up Tui to mark Watene-Zelezniak. Tui is a least a big body to match him and about time Rava got some good ball in an attack.

 

[steerlerbab]

I think if Bird is out Tuipolatu will be given a chance ahead od Fegai.

 

[Dragon David]

A real test for how far we have come, don’t want to see a repeat of the 2 disgraceful blowouts from earlier in the season. I assume Lomax replaces Bird and Tuipulotu to the wing, Luc back and BMM dropped or will it be Lawrie?

Flanno has said that he wouldn't want to put someone in a position to weaken the other. I think he will keep Lomax on the wing and maybe blood Tamale, if of course the Dragons aren't successful in having the HIA grading changed from 1 to 2 for Bird.

In the case of Lawrie, I have posted below a snippet from The Roar on Lawrie. I think that Flanno will keep Lawrie on the bench.

NRL News: Dragon says he was 's--thouse' and should've been dropped, Panther in social media strife

A brutally honest Blake Lawrie has conceded he could rightfully have been axed by Shane Flanagan, labelling his own early-season form at St George…

The trick is to ignore what Flanno says. His words and actions have a tendency not to match. He'll bring CT in and move Lomax to centre.

Ill be there..took a flex off work, alone by the sounds of it

Interesting footnote to that story is the snippet about our offer to Turuva.
Way to replace Lomax!

Wave if we score!

 

[Divine]

Lawrie’s admission about playing “sh!thouse”means he’s down on confidence.
Do we risk playing him or allow him to regain form in ressies? Blake is all effort but with no offload and being skittled on his power runs,to me, the answer’s obvious.

 

[KogarahWarrior]

Credit to blocka for admitting he's been shit and wouldn't have been upset at Flanno for dropping him. Takes lots of guts (no pun intended, sorry block) to do that. Hope he improves

Mexican?

 

[Dribble&Yarn]

lomax to centre, CT left wing, Rava right confirmed.
otherwise same 17 as last week - Luc not named at all, brown in the 22
