[Tigers Tale]

This is a very strong team....my only grip is the wings. I know Beau finished last season well so I can live with that selection for now. Don't like Utai so I guess he is holding the spot for Lote. I only hope Lote's form improves on last year. Otherwise he has to go too.

Pretty strong across all positions, I like it.

 

[Mao the Tiger]

Great side, hope groat keeps his good form from last year and bell has impact. Great side can't wait for Sunday

 

[natheel]

Reddy should be on the wing, very solid player won't let you down. Good to see Humble named hope he realises his potential

 

[Magpie Tragic]

Disappointed to see Brown running around in the "reggies" this week, maybe a fitness thing??? And does anyone know where Curtis Sirro' is playing, if at all?????

 

[Magpies Forever]

Pretty good team selections. Cant really fault it- possibly our strongest team taking into account injuries / fitness of some not selected.

The only possible query would be Utai over Brown but not any real concern as both have done well by WT when they've been on the field. Utai has been a good value buy for WT as has the extension of Browns contract. Unfortunately, they seem to have to battle each other for a shot at the squad.

Good pack, reasonable bench (apart from Morris??? WTF), nuffy backs though, in the main. Bring it on !!!!!

 

[macnaz]

Ill cut to the chase... Utard is ordinary and im f**ked if I know why teflon loves year after friggin year to handicap this side with sub standard players... Morris,Fitz etc. It really is stupid to spend a fortune on players but than fail to select the best ones to play.

 

[netic]

Good Squad but Reddy should be on the wing and after that Brown should be there.... Utai played well at the start of the season last year but really dissapointed me towards the end of the season

 

[super_coach]

Sheens dosnt see Utai as a weakness, he loves his dirty yards and has half the team looking after his deficiencies in defense and catching any balls that might come his way. I just dont see why Brown or Reddy are not given the gig and if it was me I would have given the young Fijian flyer a go. Anyway still a strong outfit and Utai may suprise

 

[madunit]

I'd have Chisholm on the wing ahead of Utai. He's got good pace, a good step, hard to contain, can catch and pass and kick.

The kid has already played for France ffs. Get him in there!

 

[The Rosco]

Personally, I can't wait to see the name John Grant listed in the # 1, 2 or 5 jersey.

 

[Mao the Tiger]

Agreed!!! The Rosco

my guess you are going to be waiting a while. sheens dosnt see why you need speed out wide

Yeah . . . add to "speed" a massive reach and fend, line busting runs, a 3 metre stride, about 6' 29" of height, . . . and if all that ain't enough . . .he has contacts in the new RL commission .

And I bet all that still won't earn him a run !!!!

I am hoping he can take over from Utai this year,and next season take over from Lote on the left side,then we will have Lote's and Gaz's money to spend on a quality backrower.

Did I read somewhere Reddy wasnt going to play??
