Team List [Round 20, 2021] - Tigers vs Warriors TEAM LIST

[zaggo]

Lodge and DZW and Walsh (minimal nrl experience) have only really been included recently. Our forward pack is weak!!! Yes, Harris is great and Addin Fonua-Blake is good but most of the other teams have better forwards. Jazz has heart but he is too excitable and overplays his hand. Why do coaches always prefer him on the bench!! Next year we will have a better rotation of props with Pene but there are question marks about the rest of the forward pack and including hooker (except Harris). You may think they are a team of superstars but I differ on this. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck will leave a big gap, although he has been used poorly this season. Johnson will fix our game management to an extent but he is also a weak defender.

When we trot out the below full-strength pack, who are these 'most of the other teams' who have better forwards?

8 - Addin Fonua-Blake
9 - Egan
10 - Lodge
11 - Katoa
12 - Ben Murdoch-Masila // Sironen // Curran
13 - Harris

Outside of the top, top guys like Panthers and Storm I think that's competitive. Sometimes I swear we could roll out Cam Smith, Petero, Price, Campion, Ali and Menzies all in their prime and we'd still have people on here saying we're underpowered.

I personally think Newcastle & Titans & St George & Sharks have better forward packs. These are the middle of the row teams. Offensively the team you have suggested is good and we have 2 very good props. But Katoa (and I am a fan of his) is still learning the game and gets easily tired after making a couple of tackles - he just lies on the ground there is no urgency..., Egan is not a strong tackler he is not bad but you are always going to make the advantage line if you run at him. Even Addin Fonua-Blake seems to tire. We will be a team on the cusp of top 8 next year not top 4. We will be a better team next year despite losing our best player. Fingers crossed that some of the talent starts to rise!

24 hour list

Josh Curran out, Tevega has moved to the 13 with Vailea on the bench.

Kosi and Petterson-Robati are still on the bench. Geez, we must be desperate in terms of injuries, where on earth is Vailea going to play coming off the bench, isn't he a centre?

Roosters, Raiders & Eels to go with the aforementioned Panthers & Storm. Could make a case for Souths & Manly too

Interesting to note that the last win we had under referee Ben Cummins, in Australia, was 2013....

So your saying there still a chance then?

Tigers have lost 5 straight under him so were odds on

Anyone know why Curran is out?

Unfortunate haircut

Our props are going to be mediocre as Buggery
That only way we win this is if Jamayne Tounua-Brown drinks a gigantic can of harden the fuck up before the game starts and for the first time in living memory runs for 120 plus metres instead of usual paltry 17 to 24 metres (some hyperbole license here )
