Training

[Tigers Tale]

To all our Sydney supports, have any of you been to training to see what positions people are occupying and more importantly how does Potter seem with them? I'd be interested to know what the mood is in the team? I suppose it might be a bit early for ball work but if anyone can add comment I'd appreciate it...cheers.

Moltzen has been training at fullback. Potter sees him as the best option there.

Thats interesting because as I said in another thread I spoke to Farah last week and he said Tedescos back and looking great and they havent done any ball work yet as they wont start working on that til next year.

Where is your source otherwise its bullshit.

Sound similar?
Potter would have to be mentally ill to play Moltzen there so i doubt it from a former fullback great with a sane brain.

 

[innsaneink]

Its all fitness at this stage....no footballs in sight

My money is that Tedesco will be starting at Fullback and Potter is training Moltzen as a replacement Fullback if needed (who else would we use?).

What I've been told of Potter is that while he was in the Super League he completely turned around the form of a number of players that were deemed as duds. He may see talent in Moltzen that needs to be whipped into shape, you never know.

We won't know untill 2013....I can't wait.

It's all fitness at the moment. Shines is still having a massive say.
Upright row is by the door
Lat pulldown by the window
Smith machine back left
Chest press by the mirror
Shoulder press by the change rooms

gte it out of your system moth, the prick is gone and seems someone with sense has the reigns now

How many times can the gym be remodelled?

3:57pm ADRIAN PROSZENKO: League. Lote Tuqiri continues to sweat it out in preseason training for the Wests Tigers ... despite the fact he doesn't have a contract. While the uncertainty over the cap has left all NRL players in limbo, none moreso than dual international Tuqiri. "He's training really hard with the squad and everyone is very impressed with his efforts," said Tigers CEO Stephen Humphreys. "We're very keen to conclude something with him, we're just looking for some more direction on where the cap is going to land next year. "As more information comes to hand I'd expect we'll conclude an arrangement with Lote very soon."

maybe Lote won't be with us next year.

 

[innsaneink]

No one else must want him.....

 

[Shanghai Charlie]

Penriff have signed a whole team of reserve grade replacements.
Maybe Lote could get a run there.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I really think lotes got a bit of a bit of a bad wrap here. Yes he has been disappointing the last two years and probably should have been dropped at some stage. However in his defence he was regularly coming back from injury and knowing our medica/coachingl staff probably a week or two before he was fit.

Korobeite has already shown he can handle first grade and I have no doubts nofoaluma will too when he gets his chance. However I wouldn't feel comfortable having two so inexperienced wingers play the majority of the year, no matter how talented they are. Wing isn't what it used to be. It's such an important position these days, especially in defence.

Lote can still be very useful for us in 2013, hopefully an injury free one for him

 

[Mader45]

Sadly, can you name any player in our backline who hasnt deserved to have been dropped at some point in the last two years? I can only think of the young uns who actually got dropped without getting a real chance, plus Sironen and Tedesco. Everyone else had some major shit periods.

 

[madunit]

Beau Ryan has clearly been the best performing Tigers back over 2011-12

Utai no.2
Kirotebete no. 5

Utai has plenty of experience and this year he actually played really well. I think Utai definitely has at least another year left in him.

Tiquiri is just too much of a liability that we cannot afford

Little argument there, and unforunately that pretty much says a lot about the teams performance. Beau is a whole hearted player, but lacks the skills gone any sort of star. If he is your best back then you aren't going to be a dangerous team.

 

[Matchball]

Beau made Utai look quick but he was the most consistent, not best.
