Gameday Warriors vs Tigers Gameday Chatter [Round 11, 2021]

[Wigan Warrior]

Would be nice to go into the bye off back-to-back wins and a 50/50 record.

 

[WellingtonOrca]

Reece Walsh had to start. Rumours of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck being in the centres had me thinking that's a good place for him to pop up from instead of being stuck on the wing. But no he's on the wing. It's a waste if you ask me.

He'll definitely play closer in on attack like he did at the back end of last weeks game.

 

[tajhay]

maumalo dropped!

He wasn't dropped.

 

[eudebrito]

I think we are due for one where it clicks and win by 3 tries, every team (not the bulldogs) gets a couple of those a year. Could well be tonight as the tigers are wildly inconsistent and coming off a good win. 5 day turnaround is a bit of a drag, but there are new faces in

 

[The Truth]

Who's the ref? We are back to not being treated fairly.

 

[Sup42]

That is probably the best balanced looking 17 (apart from Addin Fonua-Blake missing) we've named all season.

I like it a lot.

Think Brownie's tried to be too clever at times (Jazz at prop last week) hopefully success here gives him the blueprint forward.....cmon boys, dont feck it up!

I would say that if everyone’s favourites Katoa and Murchie do not play like their jerseys depend on it, that Brown is correct to order them below Siro and Curran.

That will go down like a led Balloon around here, but it is the truth.

They are good players, probably better than Siro for certain, but if they do not pull finger today and go hell for leather, then they really do not have the desire to hold those spots.

One thing that is working for the Warriors is that guys have the desire, they have not rolled over this whole season, been blasted off the park sure, but no fifty point plus roll overs.

Whaddya mean back to not being treated fairly?

When was our period of being treated fairly?

 

[Aman]

Nobody except the Eels, Storm, Bunnies and Rorters get treated fairly.

The whole point about having depth is competition for spots. These two have their chance tonight to make it hard for Curran and Siro to get back into the team. They can only do that by having blinders.

perform or get pushed back to Q Cup. Simple as that.

Tonight IS a must win game. We need a result in our favour, firstly for confidence reasons and secondly to stay in the hunt. Win and then next weeks game becomes the game we get the chance to get back on an even keel. 6 and 6 into the bye and origin period is about as good as we thought we’d be at the start of the year.

if we get to 6 and 6, given all of the injuries and dramas we’ve had, including being homeless for coming up 2 years - that is a massive pass mark for me.

but 4 and 8 is unthinkable.

it starts tonight. We need to own the tigers. We need a W tonight.

 

[Nangsy]

I got excited when the bench was named on the League Live app

We need Katoa on the Bench

 

[leaguejunkie]

Gameday already? Hell yeah, let's go boys!

 

[Beastmode]

I will accept nothing but a win today

I agree but they haven’t been given a fair crack.

 

[Sup42]

I agree but they haven’t been given a fair crack.

Katoa got a fair go.

Murchie has a case.

Katoa got games in a row and was flat in all of them. I do not think this is unexpected given he is young and very Green.

But most of us have played league, or some sport, and even if you get moved around by the coach, we all know what effort looks like, and effort is internally driven.

Curran and Siro have been demonstrating effort with their defence which has been the best the Warriors have seen from some time.

Katoa needs to tackle his arse off and run hard, everything else is not really important, if you do those things as a forward you will look good no matter where you play or who you play against or along side etc...

 

[Lance155]

I think Curran is safe regardless of how Katoa and Murchie go today. He has shown great defence and good attacking lines

 

[Orifice]

He wasn't dropped.

It just sounds better

Why is that standard not applied to Jamayne Tounua-Brown????? He's not been deserving of a week in week out starting prop role in my books.

Brown needs to fatten Katoa up and get him into the Prop just like he's done with Tohu Harris - which to me is absolute WASTE of a ball playing superstar

 

[Beastmode]

It just sounds better

yeah, give yourself an upper cut for getting my hopes up mate.

 

[Barty]

Cowboys star Jason Taumalolo and fellow forward Lachlan Burr are facing two-match bans after being charged with careless high tackles.

They were each sin-binned in North Queensland's win over Newcastle on Thursday night.

Taumalolo has been charged with a grade-two careless high tackle for a shot on Knights forward Tyson Frizell in the 25th minute while Burr received a grade-one offence for his 30th-minute hit on Jayden Brailey.


They can each halve their suspension to one match if they submit an early guilty plea.

Win tonight then head to Townsville to take on a depleted Cows outfit........
