Rankin and Lovett a bit unlucky to miss out but if we are serious about this season that is our strongest line up we can put out this year imo

Moses if his groin is good can kick goals if not then Simona

Also tempted to swap Naquiama and MCK but Kevin was pretty decent in attack and solid in D v Broncos, so I'd leave him there

Depending on how Woods pulls up for origin he could swap roles with Grant and start off the bench

Rankin will be there and should be.

 

[Tigerted]

Clifford that's an excellent side on paper & most likely the strongest team we can field.

However I can't imagine Taylor dropping either Rankin or his pet Lovett who admittedly always tries his best.

I hope I'm wrong but I reckon if everyone is available that JAC will be playing state cup.

 

[magpie4ever]

If Addo-Carr stays than Moses goes and Rankin moves to 5/8.

Now that is a better team.

 

[Clifferd]

Yeah agreed fully. Actually been watching Rankin up closely with his quick stint at fullback & he seems like a leader out there. Barking instructions to all his team mates and organising plays, I have a feeling he's pretty popular amongst the playing group & is playing pretty solidly to boot. But do u really drop someone whos been close to man of the match last 2 starts...obvious question is no

Lovett just lacks size & aggression but agree he tries his guts out

 

[The Charlatan]

Rankin for Moses and I'd be pretty confident we can roll them.

Rankin has to be in the team for kicking. Losing JAC for Rankin on the wing is worse than losing Moses for Rankin at 5/8.

Rankin is a genuine footballer every team needs.

 

[Tigerted]

I like the idea of Rankin @ 5/8.However the fraud currently @ 5/8 won't get demoted to state cup where he belongs due to the massive money he's on.

We can not continue into the future with both brooks & Moses as our halves.Im starting to believe brooks has struggled coz he seems introverted & as he doesn't possess moses's cockyness it's affected his form..He needs to be told to & hence given the confidence by Taylor to take control of the team & a mature & humble 5/8 like rankin may likely bring the best out of brooks .

If Brooks had Moses confidence he'd be a world beater wouldn't he. Atm Moses has all the confidence in the world & is failing miserably at it. Last couple weeks has proved when Brooks calls the shots we are much better team

 

[Tiger05]

I think the only player that you can drop for Rankin to stay in the team is Moses. I'm not convinced that Rankin is better than Moses though.

I used to rate Moses higher than Brooks but Brooks is starting to show (at least in my opinion) that he may be a quality NRL half.

 

[Vic Mackey]

It's great to put up teams we want but I'll be shocked if it isn't this:

1. Tedesco
2. Rankin
3. Naquima
4. Simona
5. Nofoaluma
6. Moses
7. Brooks
8. Woods
9. Farah
10. Seumanifangi
11. Aloiai
12. Lawrence
13. Taylor

14. Sue
15. Grant
16. Halatau
17. Lovett

18. Felisse
19. Chee-Kam
20. Ballin

We'll name an extended squad with Farah and woods backing up but the 17 will be this. As much as I'd love JAC in the wing Taylor will play Rankin. The only slight change could be Ballin sneaking in for Lovett/ Halatau but I think Taylor will stick with Dene filling in at dummyhalf.

TT off the official Tigs forum said Simona has a niggling injury will probably miss out which guarantees JAC a spot again. Ballin also has to be there imo, turned the game around completely when he came on..much better value than Halatau

That makes too much sense ....

 

[benched tiger]

Simona was limbing towards the end of the Broncos game so he may be out this week solving the selection issues in the backline,regardless i would like to see JT pick the players that the opposition prefer not to play against,JAC imo should always be in the side.
