FOUNDATION CUP VI (2012) Wests Tigers v Sydney Roosters @ Campbelltown Stadium

[Jollyjock]

Agree that Mini and Alofa was not the best example but in the 20's game we had 2 number 18, 19, 20, 22 and 23 so it got very confusing for those of us who have had little contact with our lower grades so far this season. Especially as there was not a name listed for our reserves bench in either the 20's or FG

So is moga out for a while ?

Moga is ok, we sat behind him & just looks like a rolled ankle but no worries, no ice, no nothing was applied.

Yeah it's a bit lousy that they can't just have different numbers. That can't be too hard or expensive for the club.

NYC lost 38-28

Were leading, then subjected to some refereeing decisions late in the game that they seemed to complain about on the field at the time.

One of the best things about us winning this trial is hopefully it will be back to the Moore Park area again next year....where it should always be,

Fans attending trials and paying their hard-earned money for the privilege deserve to be given a program with the names of all the players in all the grades on the day...with the correct numbers listed for each player.
...even if some wear last year's jerseys!

This year's trials have been a farce...fans kept in the dark as to who the players are.

I'm thinking something along the lines of:

1. Mini
2. Moga
3. Leilua
4. Aubusson
5. Perrett
6. Mortimer
7. Pearce
8. Tasi
9. Friend
10. JWH
11. Guerra
12. Cordner
13. Anasta

14. Masoe
15. FPN
16. Bosden
17. Mitchell

Anasta in the forwards doesn't work.

Anasta in the forwards doesn't work.

It did in 2010. Our best finish with Bwaiff at the club.

Positions and numbers mean very little these days. Look at locks, Gallen is the prototype now, a prop/lock or tight forwards. Usually teams have 3 on the field and 2 mobile wide running back rowers who are almost centers.

I really believe the Bwaiff in the forwards means little if we play to a certain pattern and stick to it, like we did for most of 2010.

It's the same with the 1, 6, 7 and 9s. Most are interchangeable these days. That's what's disappointing with Mini. Great bloke and was a great player but without pace and ball skills he offers little in attack nowadays. Very safe of course, but that's only one aspect of FB play these days.

I don't see the point of weakening our pack by putting Anasta in there.

Unfortunately he is still our best option at five eighth.

I ended up changing it in another thread today:
1. Mini
2. Moga (assuming Leilua fit. If not, 2. Tagive 3. Moga)
3. Leilua
4. Aubusson
5. Perrett
6. Anasta
7. Pearce
8. Tasi
9. Friend
10. JWH
11. Guerra
12. Cordner
13. Bosden

14. Masoe
15. FPN
16. Taka
17. Mortimer/Mitchell

I think it is a better side.
