TLT Tuesday - Round 2 v Wests Tigers at Commbank Stadium - 16/03/25

[King-Gutho94]

Well it is Tuesday.

Lets see who Ryles has got as his scapegoats after Sunday.

I for one hope Kelma Tuliagi isn't on this teamsheet this arvo.

The others can somehow justify keeping there place for 1 more week but Kelma's performance was inexcusable in that first 15 mins.

Yeah. Tricky one. I don't want to see The BA cut and paste and absolute forgiveness towards his favourites but these are new times and most probably deserve a second chance. That said, Kelma is non negotiable. Not sure I've seen a worse defensive performance since BA played him in the centres.
Hopefully Lane, Matto and Hawkins provide some options this week.
Cheer them on for me buddy. I'm away this weekend.

Here is one for the club

With the weather forecast on Sunday and being the home team

Could we get pro-active & tell the NRL we will be wearing our Yellow strip instead of Blue which will force the Tigers into there Black strip.

Like its a home game why not try and use this to our advantage surely our jersey allocation isnt locked in from months ago.

The darker than our home jerseys didn't seem to impact the Storm last week

You're right ....

Maybe we should ask if we can play in Storm jersey's??!!

 

[Lemon Squash]

I don't think Ryles will want the Fans/Media to think he is panicking after one game so I assume the team will be named pretty much the same as Sunday. With the exclusion of Hawkins in for Volkman if he is fit.

However I'd be very surprised if we actually run out the same, I'd expect a lot of names on an extended bench who will come into the squad.

If only we had a White Alternate!

FFS why do we get rid of it.

I love us looking like the Bulldogs

 

[Gherkin]

Carty was hopeless in the trials, but I’d be bringing him straight in for Kelma. He’s played some really good footy at times the last couple of years (mainly outside Moses), Ryles just needs to get him switched on.
Matto straight in for big Sam.
Would love to see Williams start in the middle but we need him on the edge.
And anyone for Tago. Personally I’d put Lomax out there, but doubt they’ll make that change this early. Maybe papalii to have a crack on the wing.

I cant see Matto playing this week.

His workers comp claims tend to be 2-3 week injuries before sign off to return.

Dodged a bullet, could have lost by 80 if they wore their white kit..

I have heard the Fair Work Commission have ordered he be put on Restricted Duties.... Which ironically means he has to actually do more than he has for some time..... So maybe he'll be 18th man....

I know it will be less than 48hrs since kick-off, and that through injury/suspension we have a number of people unavailable to be picked to come into the side.

But if I don't see at least Kelma demoted from the #12 jersey, then I'll have lost some faith in Ryles to admit his mistakes and make the tough calls when needed. I guess I can put up with Kelma in a 25min cameo bench role this week, but would prefer to see him named in jersey #19-#22, and working out aspects of his game in Cup for teh foreseeable future.

Cut n paste but also being in the ear of everyone putting them on notice

 

[emjaycee]

Based on possible returns from injury, Matto, Lane, Hawkins, Dunster might all get a go in replacement of Tulagi, Big Sam, Volkmann and Tago respectively.

 

[Pazza]

I'd like to see big Sam get a few games

Development club

 

[JokerEel]

I think Kelma will be dropped Guymer starting in his position and Carty on the bench.

Doorey Tuivaiti did fine.

 

[senior]

If only we kept Morgan harper

 

[Avenger]

Hawkins will be the 7.

 

[JokerEel]

Ok Guymer LRO

Lane back in second row
Samrani on a wing
