Team versus the Panthers

[Magpie Tragic]

Tim Moltzen, Beau Ryan, Blake Ayshford, Mitch Brown, Matt Utai, Benji Marshall, Robert Lui, Bryce Gibbs, Robbie Farah (c), Keith Galloway, Liam Fulton, Gareth Ellis, Chris Heighington. Interchange: Wade McKinnon, Todd Payten, Matt Groat, Aaron Woods

Brown to centre = thats ok with me. Moltzen at fb = no...and statue on the bench AGAIN just beggars belief, WHY FFS???:crazy:

Unfortunately, I think Todd is in the same boat, he should have just retired & helped the club in other ways.
Both are obviously NOT fit.

Agreed, I love Payten but unfortunately he is past his use by date. Should have retired and left us with the memories of him as a fit, enthusiastic forward leader. The halfback in a props body.

 

[Tiger05]

Yep - we have two bench players that were great players. The operative word is were.

There is always the possibility that they have a couple more good games in them although I wouldn't bet on it.

 

[super_coach]

Payten and McKinnon warming the plank---what a waste, could be Fifita and BMM in short stints with high impact. Remember Fiftia's game against the Penny Panther this time last year

 

[Borat.]

Mckinnon , payto out...
Fifita , simona / Meaney/ shirnack in

 

[westie]

Utai's got a broken hand doesn't he? Tuqiri is fit?

Whats the point of remembering last year...remember his last games this year more like it, he's done f**k all

Minimal changes at this time of year cannot be argued with, particuly when theyre getting it done

 

[TYGA]

Agree. I think game time for Payten to get fit will help in the finals. We will beat the Panthers Georgallis has already begun with the Tigers naming Jennings at Fullback.

Lets hope the Statue doesnt cost us too many more games like he did against the Dogs, particularly in a sudden death game in the Finals...

He is not real good with picking up the ball on the ground... must be that old back of his preventing him from bending over....

 

[hybrid_tiger]

That was Sheens' fault for playing him on the wing.

 

[madunit]

lol fair enough, apparently standing somewhere else on the paddock hampers his ability to pick up a ball.

good one.

 

[philgood]

Payten is needed for experience when Groat and Woods are on the field and Gibbs and Galloway are having a breather. Its all about balance.

 

[gronkathon]

Fifita has been running more sideways than forward and had a low work rate in NSW Cup. He simply does not deserve his spot again

 

[b.bear]

What's with the persistence in keeping Mck, cant see what he offers to the team at all.What type of contract is he on ,is this tims way of getting Mck what's coming to him

 

[magpie guy]

We are actually really missing Dwyer at the moment. He would have given some real impact off the bench. I would prefer Todd get his fitness up in state cup and have one of the shirnaks myself. I would also try my best to not have gibbs and galloway off at the same time.

 

[magpie guy]

I think super coach mentioned it elsewhere but would anyone else prefer to see Ryan inside Brown on the left side?

 

[tumblingdice]

Benjis' and Payten's 150th game for the tigers this week against the Panthers-lets hope its special against one of our bogey teams.

Probably worth persisitng with Todd, just trying to play himself into some match fitness, his experience is invaluable. Plus we (or tend to) have a fairly poor record without him for some reason.

Agreed, he definately is a calming influence and will get better with more game time.

 

[dumpy]

It is beyond belief that Timid Moltzen is still at F/B. Poorest F/B going around, this is tragically not his position. I must be watching completely different game to what coach Sheens watches or is this what he is coached to do because he is consistant every week (terrible.) Beau Ryan played good last few games, having Chris Lawrence inside helped as he gets the ball and shows heart. Big Keithy needs to keep being aggressive because next 2 games are against our boggie teams. If we do not turn up we will be smacked resulting in another year of squandered opportunities. Pack needs to be better organised - no one out football and with hard straight running results will occur.
