Squad for 2021

[Tigerm]

It’s not on the WT’s web site, so not sure what is happening?

 

[gordsy]

18 year old Balmain half, 5/8, hooker but they see him as a half. Training with the NRL squad over summer. Apparently he is the reason they let Camroux go to Newcastle. Very quick and flashy play maker yet extremely tough when you watch below

That music is awful but he looks good. Would have liked to have kept Camroux too but you can't keep them all. What's the go with Madden wasn't he the next great thing ??

 

[Tigerm]

James Tamou cutting his holidays short to start training is the content you need for your Tuesday.

Is this what captains are made of?

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Already displayed better leadership than Mbye and he’s been here for 5 mins.

Jeez he looks super lean for a big man too.

My starting 17
1. Gebbie
2. Nofo
3. Roberts
4. BJ
5. Talau
6. AD
7. Brooks
8. Tahmou
9. Liddell
10. Mekeali
11. Garner
12. Luciano
13. Ofahngaoui

14. Simpkins
15. Blore
16. Musgrove
17. Twal

there would still be quality players that miss, but will have a chance to cover. We have great depth and only getting better. What would you hope the starting 17 will be?

 

[Tiger05]

Atm I'd go for this team. Give Simpkins time to develop as he is just a kid.

1. David Nofoaluma
2. James Roberts
3. BJ Leilua
4. Tommy Talau
5. Asu Kepaoa

6. Adam Doueihi
7. Luke Brooks

8. Zane Musgrove
9. Jacob Liddle
10. James Tamou
11. Luciano Leilua
12. Luke Garner
13. Joe Ofahengaue

14. Moses Mbye
15. Alex Twal
16. Stefano Utoikamanu
17. Sean Blore

I think though it might end up something like this:-

1. Moses Mbye
2. David Nofoaluma
3. James Roberts
4. BJ Leilua
5. Asu Kepaoa

6. Adam Doueihi
7. Luke Brooks
8. Zane Musgrove
9. Jacob Liddle
10. James Tamou
11. Luciano Leilua
12. Luke Garner
13. Joe Ofahengaue

14. Tommy Talau/Jake Simpkins
15. Alex Twal
16. Stefano Utoikamanu
17. Sean Blore

I reckon we really need our halves to fire and for our fullback to not be shit. We also need our hooker to be fantastic. Then we need a bunch of inconsistent but potentially good middle forwards to get us rolling forward.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I’ve got a feeling we may see Momirovski at left center and Jet outside him

 

[Disillusioned Tiger]

I also think Momo needs to be there. Due to AD’s Round 1 suspension I think he’ll be at 6 and goal kicker.

With Liddle as our number 9 then we will be definitely carrying one on the bench too!

I don't think we have a choice either.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

I’m wondering whether Roberts should try out for fullback.

All reports are that he’s training the f**king house down at the moment and has presented in much better shape than anyone expected.

Sometimes God-given talent finds a way to excel in many positions.

i read he’s only doing 3 sessions a week with the team atm, not sure why. Might be something to do with his rehab program

Training the house down! That’s the first one I’ve seen. I would hate to be relying on Roberts to be our FB. Centre/wing is okay as we have good cover, but at FB we have very little and who knows how reliable he is going to be week to week.

His training commitment is there on the official website.

If he’s unreliable, yeah, he loses his fb position, no more persisting with Esans and Jennings etc.

But chiming in with his speed and step in attack, he’s going to frighten defences, bobbing up here and there on the angles.

A bit like Corey Allen at Souths as they approached the finals this season, except Roberts has an uncanny unnatural “step and go” in him whereas Corey is a gracious player positionally.

If he’s in some rehab as well, then that’s a very good place to be and I can’t see why that would harm his full recovery and help him be the person he wants and deserves to be.

In fact there’s a few players out there that need their heads sorted and counselling etc away from the team environment may assist.

Lol Corey Allen again from you? Is he a relo or something?
Souths missed out this year due to having to use him. QLD almost lost origin 3 because of him despite playing far superior football. He may have been a gun junior but so far he’s proven dreadful at NRL level.

We didn’t exactly make the finals and Im sure it was qld lifting the origin shield.

There was a lot more good than bad in Corey Allen this year.

Certainly Wayne Bennett would agree with me and I will just have to tough it out knowing we are on the same page. Deeply embarrassing I know, but I will just have to make do.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I also think Momo needs to be there. Due to AD’s Round 1 suspension I think he’ll be at 6 and goal kicker.

Hes been the forgotten man in all the teams, however Madge gave him a wrap and said how good it was to have him back in an interview the other day

Whilst BJ and Jet are all attack this bloke is a rock in defence and always seems to sneak through for a try. In the past 3 years he's been the 18th man for the Grand Final winning team twice. Guy can play and we're crazy if he isnt in the 17 somewhere

No doubt he's filed his report on the storm and what things he enjoyed whilst under Bellamy.

Bellamy wins the grand final and then kicks the chair lol. He reminds me of our brother @stryker.

But you are on the matter.

I plead guilty to reckless indifference to Momo and hope his form selects him every week.
