I’m thinking Twal will play 80 minutes and be in the top two tackle count.
Really need the front row rotation to aim up this week with good go forward.
I’m still seeing a lot more effort from the team this season even though the results have not changed.
Injuries affect every team but even more...
Yep I think you are right, 3 players coming in to cover 2x injured & 1x suspension
Kepoa
Matamua
Alaimalo / Faataape
We don’t have the depth to do anything else.
Just stepped in from a catch up at the pub with the boys (me being the only Tigers supporter) so had plenty of feedback from mates that support other teams and the over all response was that once we lost a centre and didn’t have anyone to cover that right side we were done.
Most didn’t blame...
Can only imagine how much he is looking forward to getting back on the park, To get match fitness into him and show our coaches what he has got to offer.
Pity it will be in our reserve grade team who are just flying along at the moment.
I hope he has a safe return to the field without any...
I watched the Roosters Siua Wong
last year thinking he would make a very good edge forward but watching his last game of the bench he seems bigger and slower this year (much like papalii)
and would really struggle to play 80 minutes.
Still think he would be a good acquisition to our forward...
Let’s think about how the Roosters can afford Fifita next year ?
They have the following off their books next year.
Manu
Keary
Wearea Hargreaves
Suaalii
There should be more signings coming for the Roosters.
I call that good Cap Management
Papi will appreciate defending in the middle as well hopefully shouldn’t have to deal with the speed of an attacking half or fullback.
He looks like he has bulked up this season which has done nothing for his speed of the mark in defence especially when defending on an edge.
Hopefully defending...
He is a middle forward our problem is we don’t have any big aggressive edge forwards other than Fainu at the moment to move him into the middle permanently.
Bateman is probably the answer at the moment but I think his game would best be suited coming off the bench after 20 minutes adding a bit...
Luai isn’t even here yet and some negativity has already started,
I am glad we brought a player that is a bit different and not just straight of a production line.
Would you like Galvin dropped
or play both the young guys in the half’s together with no Sezer.
Galvin earned his spot from the off season training effort and IMO has done nothing to loose his position.
