TIGERS

No surprises to see Nu Brown named on the bench for the Tigers this week. The 27-year-old utility made a mid-season switch from the Bears in search of more game time. He played 80 minutes in his first game for the Tigers’ feeder side, Western Suburb Magpies and two weeks later has forced his way into Michael Maguire’s 17.
Fonua Pole could get somegame time later on this season with Magpies coach telling Fox Sports the 19-year-old is a first-grader in the making. Pole won the Tigers’ SG Ball Best and Fairest award last season and joined the NRL squad on a train-and-trial over the Summer. He impressed so much that the club locked him in on a two-year Top 30 deal which begins next season. Despite still being eligible for Jersey Flegg he’s handled the physicality of Cup well.
Austin Dias is a no-nonsens prop that Maguire will likely turn to if injuries hit the forward pack. The 23-year-old, who has played over 30 NSW Cup games, is on a train-and-trial deal and is held in high regard by Magpies coach, Wayne Lambkin.

Looks like the Cows are the real deal this year?
At the beginning of the year, they were one of the teams I thought that we were specials to beat? 😂

Draw

The 2024 Wests Tigers NRL Telstra Premiership draw, fixture, schedule, NSW Cup draw, Jersey Flegg Cup draw
www.weststigers.com.au www.weststigers.com.au

Looking at the rest of the games to come, I can't see a lot of wins unless Doueihi 's input is amazing and we can keep the same team on the field?

we should have everyone to pick from bar Brooks, Blore and Talau for the souths game (not counting Robert’s as he wouldn’t make our strongest side)

will have the strongest 1-5 we’ve had in a VERY long time, probably since We made the finals

Daine did a video during the week with Jet about the Indigenous jersey and said he’s back next week, so fingers crossed. Apologies got AD mixed up and yep you’re right he’s back after the bye

1. Laurie
2. Maumalo
3. Naden
4. Toa
5. Nofoaluma

is what I would expect. Only change we might see would be due to both Naden and Toa being left players. Kepeoa was going to be right centre before he did his pec but with Toas impressive form I’d think Madge would find a place for him at right centre

If AD is available for the Manly game, does he go straight in to replace Madden or one the other back positions?

Very much looking forward to AD’s return.He will b 1st one picked in 3/4’s obviously at centre assuming Brooks is 5/8.Suddenly we should have strong competition for spots in our backline which augurs well for our top 8 aspirations in back half of comp.If we beat souths & manly & receive much deserved luck with injuries for rest of ‘22 we will make the 8.

If brooks is out then AD should b 5/8

Understand your reasoning, but is he going to be the 5/8 when Brooks is back? If not, then maybe go to the position (hopefully centre) that he plays for the rest of the year?

Finally we have some strong options coming🙌

Everyone available I have no doubt brooks will b 5/8 & AD centre.However imo I’d have AD at 5/8 Toa & Naden as centres & Brooks at 14 as he would b a strong utility who can cover 3 spine positions if we have injuries during game.

As for the Tigers welcoming back their No. 1 - there were also suggestions Luke Brooks could be named to return from a hamstring injury - Laurie said: "I will be named, but I have to get through a wrestling session to see how the knee holds up.

"I did a contact session yesterday, it was my first one, just to see how the knee went, but I'm feeling confident.

"It's been tough watching the boys. I did my knee the last time we played the Rabbitohs [in round seven], but I'd love to play against them and my uncle [Walker].

"I was told it would be a six to seven-week recovery, and this weekend will be five weeks. Fingers crossed, but I'm confident.

"This is always a special round, and to play against my uncle and represent our mob ... if I do play, there will be plenty of our mob come down to watch us."

Laurie is a livewire in attack and been linked to a potential move to join The Dolphins in Redcliffe, but he made it clear he did not want to leave the Tigers.

"I see stuff on Instagram about me that isn't even true, I've had to ring my manager to see what's going on, but he tells me to keep playing footy. I want to stay at the Tigers," Laurie said.
