Hodgo - been a great player for us, but he`s lost a yard of pace that made him so dangerous and IT WAS THE CORRECT DECISION to let him go. We need to find someone younger, hungrier and more electric !
Tuiaki - i think he`d be somewhere in the top 17 in most NRL clubs. He does a reasonable job out on the wing, but I think we should be getting him back in the back row.
McDonnell - Not a winger, too small to be a decent winger. In saying this he`s a very good broken play ball runner and if gets his confidence back he could be a good option at fullback. I know he has ability, but i`d still send him elsewhere
Ryan - He does a reasonable job on the wing, but really is a centre. I like his enthusiasm and he plays with a bit of aggression. He should be kept and given more of a go in the centres for the rest of this season.
Collis - has done very little over the past 2 seasons. Has talent, but seems to lack pace and no aggression to make up for it. Send him to French Rugby
Lawrence - He is a genuine star in the making. He has been a little disappointing this season, but is still showing glimpses of class and i`m sure he`ll kick on with some decent players around him.
Marshall - Obviously nowhere near his best, but he`s still proving to be by far our most dangerous player. We need to provide him with a decent forward pack and some players with some heart and aggression around him.
Head - Very good player when right, but he`s very rarely right and not a good fit at the Wests Tigers, flick him.
Morris - A reasonably good hooker, no good to us we have a dozen good hookers, just not much else. Surely one of the new Super League clubs could find use for him ?
Halatau - The most over rated player i`ve ever seen in my life. Does not know how to pass a football other than from dummy half and one of the worst arm grabbers to ever play first grade. He`s only of first grade standard as a hooker as he is a good dummy half runner, but he`s not gonna be our first choice and he`s on too much money to be a bench player. Get rid of him.
Fulton - Plenty of ability and always puts in defensively, but he`s obviously down on confidence as he just doesn`t seem to be able to find a way to do something usefull in attack. Then again our ball players wouldn`t exactly give you much confidence when running onto the ball either. I`d persist with him, but get someone to let him know, fire up in attack or look for another employer.
Heighington - He`s had a couple of sub standard games himself, but the big picture says he`s really the only bloke who can say that he`s had a good season thus far.
Harrison - I`ve always been a fan of his, but his defence is getting worse and he`s not running onto the ball with any venom. We don`t exactly have many damaging ball runners now that Te`o has gone, so we have to persist with him, but I fear his confidence is shot beyond repair ?
Te`o - Well he`s now gone, so really not much point in playing him in first grade for the rest of the season. Massive potential, but his whole attitude has been most disappointing.
Payne - Ihaven`t heard of anyone anywhere that has anything good to say about his footballing ability and that about sums it up.
Galea - thaught he`s was one of our more hard hitting defenders before his season ending injury. He`s contracted to us for next season and theer`s certainly far worse players than him running around in the NRL, but please don`t play him at prop, not a props backside.
Gibbs - Another who i`ve always been a fan of and thaught it would only be a matter of time before he lives up to his potential, but gee i`m running out of patience. Played like a scared cat last night and has done so far too regularly over the past couple of seasons.
Farah - obviously a very classy player when close to his best, but i believe he`s let his ego get in the way this season and has played like a reserve grader for most of it !
Galloway - a bit of a shining light this season. Pity that injury has restricted him as he was really starting to get confident and aggressive.
Payten - obviously we`ve missed him heaps. A real forward leader these days who certainly makes a difference when he`s playing, but what is the go with this injury he has, the time it`s taken for him to recover is beyond a joke.
Laurie - another who has been a real breath of fresh air for us. Plenty of potential, just a pity he`s so far had to play alongside of one of the softest forward packs in the games history !
Tandy and Metuisela - not given much of a go, but i`ve noticed a few supporters pushing their barrows, they are not first grade standard.
Trimarchi - similar to the above two mentioned, he hasn`t be given much of a go and his lack of size is no good to us whatsoever, but he has some ability.
Flanagan - a class act and will prove this next season once he is surrounded by some forwards that will have a go, similar to Te`o !!!
Tuiaki - i think he`d be somewhere in the top 17 in most NRL clubs. He does a reasonable job out on the wing, but I think we should be getting him back in the back row.
