Mini will carve it up first go.....not

Where did u get this?

Geez, now Fittler's following the Ivan Henjak book of coaching and team selections.

The mind boggles as to how Mitch and Mini will combine in the halves.

Fittler could be giving the Tigers an arm chair ride towards the finals.

WHat the f**k. Freddy has lost his f**king head. I am sick of him making players play some random position. Put them in there original position. Ffs

Mine is 40-12. Wests win.

I think it is a decent move. I don't think Mini will be playing a traditional 5/8's game he would just be given a free role in the middle. I don't think he would be stupid enough to defend him 3 in. Mini will probably still defend on the wing and you will see SKD defend inside him and Maubs defending in the forwards. I'd prefer just to see Mini at fullback, Perrett on the wing and SKD in the centres but I think it will be interesting to watch.

"Interesting viewing" is a novel take on it, painful viewing could be the reality.

If he's going to defend on the wing, then play him on the bloody wing.

All this chopping and changing in positions between attack and defence is why our defence is shyte on occasions. Players don't always have the opportunity to get into their "second" position on a sudden turnover of possession.

It's not as if the opposition is going to take time out so our blokes can re-arrange themselves.

I guess Fitler didn't really have an option. SKD and Huraki both played excellent. Perret has been our best all year. None of our wingers/fullbacks can really play centers. It's alright, not going to be a massive issue.. if he is struggling Jones can come on and just play him at a ball playing lock, and Mini as another centre forward runner type. On the centers Sa should go back to the bench/forwards and bring up Ryan Williamson from the 20/s.. It would be good if Freedy gives him a run in the top grade this year to get him used to it as I think he should be there round 1 next year.
