A big test for club and team coming next weekend.

No Bulla, no Mason, no Luai, no Api.
Looks like AD and Latu in halves.
Maybe Luke L st fullback although I see Alex Lobb score at hat trick at fullback on Saturday. Maybe that's an Alex too far.
Will we have TDS as our hooker? If not then Hope? Maybe Bird goes to 9?
If last week was Sheensball this week will be even more so.

Won’t be TDS.

Heath Mason's suspension sees Sunia Turuva shift to fullback, with Charlie Staines set to make his return to the side on the wing.
Api Koroisau's concussion means Adam Doueihi will line up at five-eighth and Luke Laulilii is elevated to the starting team at centre.
Tristan Hope and Charlie Murray are both set to make their second NRL appearances, with Hope to start at hooker and Murray an inclusion on the interchange bench.
Alex Twal skippers the side in the absence of Jarome Luai and Api Koroisau.

Alex Twal as Captain? That'll do me. Surely Marshall and co are just taking the p*ss now. Twal should not even be in the starting side, IMO.

Who in that named team has done more for Wests Tigers?
Only other realistic option would have been Doueihi... but he is unsigned for next season.

I think now is a perfect time to show some mercy to Benji. Not even MacGiver could make a team out what Benji has to choose from this week.
Sure, he's got a ready made excuse if things go badly v Roosters. Marshall is arrogant enough not to feel the need for mercy.Alex Twal as Captain? That'll do me. Surely Marshall and co are just taking the p*ss now. Twal should not even be in the starting side, IMO.

And, the standard of "that team" is all to do with the negligence of Richardson in his allowing contracted players to leave while getting zero in return. Twal is a fantastic clubman and whole hearted. no doubt about it. But, he offers limited contributions to making the side more competitive. If captains lead by example, what significant example does he offer?Alex Twal as Captain? That'll do me. Surely Marshall and co are just taking the p*ss now.

This has all the hallmarks of being a real bleak game for our club.
