Trial form doesn't count for much as proven by the Titans/Eels last weekend. 

I like him with ball in hand, but he's a bit suspect defensively, at least at this stage of his career. 

And the major issue that he'll never overcome, as a winger at least, is that he's just too small. I imagine Dearden and co will be dropping bombs on him all afternoon.

Toa and Herbert both injured? Neither named in FG or NSW Cup.

No Bunty

yeah I’m not sure of team selections… must be drawn out if a hat I reckon. 
I’m worried now of beating this ordinary mob

Herbert trained at right centre yesterday as Taylan wasn’t there. Taylan probably given a rest due to loading. Star didn’t take part in the opposed session but was running away from the group, seemed to be fine but has a minor issue.

Watching the session yesterday Luke was carrying the ball back hard and finding his front. Jeral won’t be far away, he hasn’t had as much training due to injury but last 2 weeks has looked good.

I think we might see Jock come on at some point and AD play a hybrid half type role Benji has mentioned in the doco.

Very keen to see Latu in the next few weeks come on and AD move into a hybrid half role.

@russtutty63 Jock comes on with injury only , the team needs to gel and the halves combo is the key to success .. if Marshall wants to chop and change it will be a long season . I have read Madden to 9 to give API a rest another ridiculous move , like for like the club has the depth us it ! I have not even thought of Latu ,when he has played a few reserve grade games if it happens great .I still do not know what a hybrid half is …

Im really looking forward to a Hungry Adam D playing in 7 for a few games to really see once and for all what he can do.

A hybrid-half is just a fancy way of calling him a ball playing lock although he would not take many hit-ups but he would defend closer to the ruck. Last season the Tigers arguably looked their best in attack when Latu came on and AD shifted into that role. It gives you 25-30 minutes of high impact attack around the edges of the ruck etc. It’s not a radical move so has little impact on combinations. In my opinion Latu will be our best impact player this year if they go that way.

A difference from just about any Wests Tigers season past - only one club debutant in the first game of the season.

A sign of stability.

Omg !!! What game are we playing here!!

This game in Brisbane tonight is ridiculous. And not in a good way. Gen Y players are making it a hard game to watch. It’s rocks and diamonds. I said it during the cricket season too. 🤷‍♂️am I getting too old and cranky? It’s like watching basketball in a way.
