This Week v Cowboys

[madunit]

They are without Thurston and possibly Tonga as well.

We may have Tuqiri, Utai and Fulton back.

Tigers have won 12 and lost 11 v Cowboys.
Tigers have won the last 3 games and 6 of the last 7 games

At DairyFarmers:
Tigers 3 wins, 8 losses

I think some guys will need to be dropped due to poor form.

Miller and Marshall should be paired up in the halves, with Miller at 7.

 

[gronkathon]

Dont want to see Gibbs, Fulton, Moltzen or Fifita in a Wests Tigers jersey again to be honest

Bring up some players that want to be there and put in

 

[Tigerm]

It is a "Now or Never" game for us, for this season IMO.

I agree with all of that except Gibbs.

He's been playing well and is more likely to keep putting in as opposed to the other 3 who are woefully out of form of just don't give a f**k anymore.

 

[Trollhammaren]

We'll still lose 40-0.

I can't remember seeing such a pathetic performance from a Tigers side in years.

Not a bad line- up. Betcha it wont be anywhere near Teflons selections.

 

[gronkathon]

I really rate Ayshford but I would be inclined to gove Jake Clark a run in front of him this week.

Ayshfords defence against the Eels was terrible.

However I expect to see nobody dropped barring to allow for returning regular squad members. We are probably in breech of our second tier cap already given our injury woes

 

[MacDougall]

Ayshford's defense was great from where I was looking? All the Parra tries were fluke tries or off kicks.

And to those calling for Fulton's axing do we not recall the heart he showed when he tried to play on unconscious? Guy bleeds our jersey. We need more of him.

Not to mention his strong defense and tackle count...

I reckon he's make a decent hooker - he can handle the ball well... just a shitehouse tackle buster.

 

[macnaz]

Why the Simona love, showed nothing spectacular so far imo. And also BMM would want to show more than he did last week.

Simona has pace, something Ryan does not.

BMM is a work in progress that should be persisted with.

I could live with that team except for woods, any suggestions ?

Fair enough he has pace and fair enough they are replacing Ryan BUT what is the point of having pace if he fails to beat the defence to use that pace. Seems just another player as far as im concerned, if we are going to opt for youth why not try a potential superstar like Koribete ... just cant see the average for average replacement mentality. Same as Brown, he will be better than Mckinnon but is still going to only be an average footballer.

17. Tovo

Avoided touching the NYC side and sent Woods back there for a week or two as I think the NYC side is a real shot this year.

I think Waters can probably get the job done at half as he has progressed alot over the last year or two.

Meaney on the wing because that is where he was set to play for Manly before we got him. Utai on the bench allows the replacement of Mullaney or Meaney if either have a stinker.

I think Miller is overawed by the NRL at this stage

Probably Gibbs should be there in place of Tovo or Pearn but thery have both earned a shot IMO

 

[madunit]

Waters is not a good enough quality half for the NRL.

Last year he was behind Lazarus in NSW Cup.

 

[gronkathon]

I would have agreed with you until about a month ago MU.

He seems to have really come along and rarely takes the poor option.

I just have fear of spoiling Miller bringing him on too soon. I have never seen him as tentative as he was against the Dogs at Campbelltown
