No Stefano - anyone know why? Not sure why Pole wouldn't start and have Matamua off the bench.
It says Stefano has calf strain

I heard it was a wrist injury
I'm very open minded with the selected spine combo. Essentially playing 1 halfback (jacko) and 2 5/8th (Brooks and AD) - if we are to progress uo the ladder we need to play differently and this structure allows us to play contemporary footy.
Dropping Garner to bench but keeping Kelma is a huge surprise.
Dropping junior and replacing with Roberts also a surprise.
I'm excited to see how we go with this structure and like to see it retained for a couple of weeks to build a combo

No they didn’t with Brooks at 7. We know that combination doesn’t work. Moved our best half to accommodate our worst half. Typical Wests Tigers. The club is as dumb as.
Brooks at 7. We know that combination doesn’t work.
I'm desperately 🙏 they are showcasing Brooks (Luke if you could play well that would help) hoping some team will panic buy him off our salary cap.
Considering Wins are now completely irrelevant there is no reason if Hastings is not at 7 that Maddon should not be playing there to identity/develop him.
@anygivensunday Madden is not nrl standard and is unsigned by any nrl club for 2023
@jedi-tiger not 100% sure he’s not…. But I know he has more upside than Lucky Luke
Keep steering the right path
@jedi-tiger and thank god for that … halves partner needs some work though
Keep steering the right path
