PRE-GAME Round 12 - Broncos vs West Tigers

[winslow_wong]

This is a good game to be putting money on the Tigers. Could pay real well

 

[Daniel Dowell]

Yep agree.

 

[Fernando]

Yeah I'm not as confident as most about this one. The Tigers are cats and will relish coming up against a second string forward pack. If they score some early points they could be hard to contain.

 

[Daniel Dowell]

Fwd pack will be ok. Am tipping a really good performance from them.

 

[1910]

Pangai just scored next to the posts to get the Magpies in front. Good try. He's going well.

 

[talanoa]

pangai, ese'ese, sua and arrow are locked in for the forward pack replacements. fai and boyce miss out. not sure on the back line changes yet.

 

[talanoa]

Yep agree.

can you enlighten us on how you agree??

woods is there best forward my a million miles and tedesco is their best back by a million miles (both missing) unless tedesco makes a miraculous recovery this week.

we still have hunt and milford and quite a few rep players as well in our squad.
guys like rankin, lovett, halatau, grant and so on wouldnt even get a look in at our bench let alone main stays in the team.

1 Kahu 2 Opacic/Seve 3 Reed 4 Roberts 5 Eden 6 Milf 7 Hunt 8 Wallace 9 Macca 10 Blair 11 Glenn 12 TPJ 13 Arrow...
14 Offa 15 Ese'ese 16 Su'a 17 Niko.

Does that look right?

Seems about right, I'd personally start with Su'a on the edge and bring Pangai off the bench, I feel like he'll offer more impact than Su'a off the bench, and he can play in the middle.

 

[Daniel Dowell]

I agreed we will by a lot. Not the other way around.

So you realise that "putting money on the Tigers" means that Winslow thinks the Tigers will win. If you 'put money on something' you are betting that it wins.

Unless you are putting money on a stripper, in the case everyone wins... And eventually loses.

 

[1910]

Jaydn injured his calf Friday night.

 

[Daniel Dowell]

I wont put money on tigers thats for sure.

 

[Super Freak]

Arrow won't be starting.

Offa has experience in the starting side. Arrow didn't do enough from the bench to earn a starting spot.

 

[Daniel Dowell]

Its about balance. I dont know if you want 3 rookies on the bench.
You wouldnt go 11 Glenn 12 Ese'se 13 Offa
Then have 14 TPJ 15 Arrow 16 Su'a???

 

[Super Freak]

8. Wallace
9. McCullough
10. Blair
11. Glenn
12. Stagg
13. Offa

14. Boyce
15. Molo
16. Nikorima
17. Whitchurch

That was our forward pack and bench last year against the Knights.

16 games of NRL experience on the bench.

I don't think inexperience on the bench will concern Bennett much.

 

[lionred]

Tpj definitely more suited in the middle IMO
