Yeah, I was surprised by that too. I didnât think Tim Grant did anything really wrong to warrant a move back to the bench, Also didnât think I saw anything that great to warrant a move him back to the starting lineup.
all might change before kick off with Kikau on extended bench and of course this could be a ploy as well.
On the interchange of RCG and GrantâŠyou couldnât argue one was any better than the other atm so who is a starter over a bench player is a little moot
This is a game between to very ordinary teamsâŠTigers have been getting lapped and we have been working up to getting lapped.
Whoever wins âŠit wonât be close IMHO
Whoever turns up in the right frame of mind will win by plenty
i hope i am wrong but
Tigers have scored 140 and let in 166
Panthers have scored 113 and let in 180
Both teams donât value their own try line and we are close to worst in the league in defence coming in 3rd worst and we are 2nd worst in scoring
I believe one team will be completely broken during this gameâŠwe are 8 games in and reality is looming large for both and itâs up to how the team responds on the night
and have a great week MR WâŠwell done on going up and hope you bring better luck then i did in Wagga
SBF Rugby League players pride themselves in who gets the starting gig, particularly up front. It is a pride thing and maybe that is IC plan to have RCG step up now he has âreturnedâ to starting front row.
Regardless we need to get angry in defence and our halves need to get to the line before passing, no more Luke Walsh playmaking
Waqa Blake has been dropped for being late to training. Hame Sele is also out with a back strain. Tyrell Fuimaono replaces Blake at centre & Sione Katoa has been promoted to start at lock. RCG has also been promoted to the starting lineup. New on the bench are Jarome Luai & Kaide Ellis.
Glad to see Luai in the 17, hope he brings some much needed spark.
Well I hope everyone is fit because this is almost last chance for both sides. I will be there and just hope to see a side that actually holds onto the ball which should then lead to a better outcome.
maybe he was âjust lateâ Bryan but considering the mess we are in wouldnât you think he would be âjust earlyâ to make sure he trained harder and longer to set a high mark for others to match.
The website says Blake was late because he misread the training schedule. If youâve got some information that suggests he wants out of his contract, maybe you could share it with us.
Although Blake isnât being utilised correctly in attack he hasnât provided much regardless. I am happy for some kind of standard to be set, if IC loses his âpowerâ as coach it will be anarchy. I would also assume both IC & NC are realising the difficulty of the father / son working relationship.
Those not âin the clickâ can become very disgruntled very very quickly, it happens in all business formats where preferential treatment exists, letâs hope that isnât the Panthers
⊠first time in my life I quit a game after 20 mins.
canât bring myself to watch a Panthers side that
roll over so lamely. This is an embarrassment.
