No Moors ?
What does the bloke have to do to get in first grade ?

Are you suggesting that the Mayor of Minto Skandalis doesn't warrant selection ahead of Moors?

SACRILEGE!!!!!!

No i`m not actually, i`d never ever complain about Skando being in the side. He ALWAYS runs the ball hard and straight, more than what you can say about a few of our other forwards. Moors is a devastating backrower, not a front rower. Fulton is at his best when running the ball well wide of the ruck, would go real well for us in the centres which would free up a back row spot for Moors.

Skando ran it very hard for 3 metres a hit-up last night. I understand that you will always remain loyal to your Magpies but you have to admit that Skando has no place in first grade anymore, particularly not at the expense a talented youngster.

When the going gets tough Skando gets going. That`s what`s needed in the big games and we have a few in our side that constantly go missing when the going gets tough. Manly have a tough uncompromising forward pack, this weekend will sort out the men from the boys at Brookie and I can assure you Skando won`t be one of our players that go MIA !!!
We need 4 props, 2 starting and one on the bench. I`m happy with Galloway and Gibbs starting and i`m also happy with Fifita coming off the bench, but I am concerned about Payten as he doesn`t seem to know if he wants to be a prop or a backrower. He`s not often willing to do the hard yards when he plays prop and despite the skill he has, he`s far too slow to be a backrower. Skando isn`t confused, he just runs straight and hard !!!

What have Fifita and Moors done wrong?
I'd have my agent out and about getting some quotes if I was these two.

On the bright side, FMD we've got some forward depth this year.

Mataka has some serious promise if Sheens doesn't do what he did to Bronson with him.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Vish, it's all well and good to run straight and hard, although Skando struggled in the hard department Monday night....but did you notice his speed in defence? How slow he was to get back to marker / the 10 from the tackle? How much lateral quickness he's lost? This is where Payten makes his living and for mine offers more overall than Skando.

 

[Gippsy]

When's Beau Ryan back? Anyone know?
Do you think he will go straight into the starting side when back from injury?

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Might make a return this week and is a lock to go straight back into the starting side.

This was his biggest problem in his first NSW Cup game this year.

His fitness just isn't there.

 

[gronkathon]

So Skando is there when the going gets tough?

Seems Ayshford & Lote were there while Skando was bludging behind the ruck or walking back to the offensive line

Fifita is injured.

And yes he is overweight and is getting lazier by the game in defence.

If he was dropped because of skin folds he'd be in state cup, but he's not he is in rehab/healing.

It would also help if he turned up to 20's. They have dropped him because of this.

 

[Darth Bobo]

As far as I know Fifita also have a brush with the law a few weeks back. As much as love seeing the big fella on the field I've got no dramas with a kid being dropped for off-field issues involving poor discipline or for stuff that can get the Tigers in the news for the wrong reasons.

 

[brooksy19]

FE ? did he play state cup last week?

Coach said he has an injury on fox sports mnf pre game show.

to b honest he needed to be dropped after broncos game.. (only for a week or two, to refocus).

 

[gronkathon]

He didn't play State Cup.

Moors already has his manager fielding offers for next year. Not in the "in crowd" at Camp Concord so looking for the quickest way out of the place

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

f**k I'll be pissed if Moors leaves. So much potential, size and aggression. He's exactly what our pack has been lacking and he's on the out.
