- @salty agree, he adds a bit of strike out wide, we just need to give him early ball so he has time to wind up. He’s shown he has a bit of toe plenty of times too.
Actually with AJ playing in the other centre role, given the form he is in, we have some good options either side. Hopefully they get the time to improve.
Centre had big question marks at the start of the year so it’s good to have answers there at least. Depth as well with talau sitting behind asu these days.
if bula is named in top 30 is he able to play against storm ?
@jedi-tiger no as he’s not on the extended bench.
As much as we are under the pump, the storm must also be feeling the heat. If we somehow beat them we will actually jump them on the ladder. Not that the media will care. But if it’s a close game, hopefully the halves will build pressure and let the storm playmakers make the mistake.
I have a sneaking suspicion we might see Justin Matamua slide onto the bench this evening.Would love to see him get a run.No inside info,no smoke and mirrors,just a hunch.Let’s go Tigers,bring home the bacon boys!
is douihie playing ? I am hearing not ?
get our big blokes running at Pezet get him tackling and in defence put him on his backside and get him to make decisions under pressure, he will fold.
That should put some pressure on hopefully and underdone Munster.
As for us just hold the ball get the completion up to 80% 85%
Hope we contest the high ball and Wakeham steers the ship and let Brooks just play eyes up footy at 6 out wide.
Our forwards should get over the top of storm tonight
Thinking we sneak home
Tigers 20 Storm 12
If we hold the ball and play through the middle before going wide, we win.

The key for us is getting the completion rate up. Forget the side to side until we are on top.
However I always get a flurry of confidence just before a game.
@the-last-ronin Could’nt agree more.Just dilute it,simplify it and complete our sets.Opportunities will arise if we play direct,straight and hard.Ironic,but we need to play a bit of Madge ball tonight.

we actually have the pack now to play that style of football and we decide to do the opposite. Very Wests Tigers
- @the-last-ronin I agree. We need forwards like Stef, Pole and Klem to launch into to D close to the line on the 3-4 tackle. Need to fold the line to make the edges fold in. Stand deeper and launch into them. We are so pedestrian like which make it easier to defend against.
Guys, stand deeper and run hard onto the ball.
As a side note, our whole backline looks soooo non athletic compared to other teams which contributed to us getting the spoon last year. ¾ of our side wouldn't make top 4 sides atm.
We haven't got big, strong and fast backs.
So what does Sheens do with a lame backline....keep recruiting I guess.
