Who's Te Whare? Next big thing?

Lemuelu seems the obvious choice to me.

Lemuelu already has the other EDG.

Te Whare is like Hurrell, but faster and moves better. Averaged 45 in QLD Cup at CTR last season. You want him when you get the opportunity. Insta-fix for CTR at $230k.

Well you are wrong weren't you?

Only upwards and onwards for you today.

Cheers Matt. Bit of a nugget aye. Would wanna see how he handles NRL defences though.

I still reckon it'll be KBrom and Lemuelu on the EDG. Might take the punt on Lemuelu as a budget price Bird if so.

Emma Lawrence: John Bateman and Adam Doueihi (foot injury) both trained with the starting side at @WestsTigers training. Tim Sheens rates them “more than a 50% chance” of playing tomorrow. Will make final call in the AM @NRLonNine @wwos

Boyds score today will decide whether Sheens plays Doueihi

I’m taking Thompson 39 I said if he got more than 35 I’d take it over Boyd.

Don’t they have to file a formal complaint with the appropriate manger which is then investigated by an independent committee?

Not before the union fines a role for themselves. Then, the independent committee.

I'm playing Boyd and Warbrick over Doorey's 30. Risk it for the biscuit.. especially with my backs scoring like forwards and forwards scoring like backs.

Might trade BMM in and play him too.. probably gonna go tits up.

Arrow told me he’s playing next week but JD in presser said will look at him early next week we won’t rush him if not quite right. So we are running out of forwards no props left with Havili, Knight out as well. If Arrow is out this could be the pack next week….. I’d expect Kaeon has to play a fair stint in the middle…

Tom
Cook
Moale
Keaon
Chee Kam
Murray

Jed
Host
DSF
Duncan/Milne

We are copping it bad with injuries to our middles.

Murray wont be playing, throwing punches tends to be frowned upon

He'd be in trouble if they didn't bin the wrong guy

Jesus what a unit! Look at the size of him, and quick. It's like SBW and Andrew Fifitia had a love child.

Surely the match review committee will cite him?

haha no chance.

Te Whare

I watch ep2 of Dawn of the Dolphins and he featured heavily
- Was a rugby player who took time out (COVID/mental health)
- O’Sullivan signed him early, basically they gave him 2021 to work on his fitness and learn rugby league. Starting playing below QCup, moved up quickly. Working as a groundsman.
- “can do things other players can’t” aka he’s a real footy player. Which you can tell because he’s too chonky to be considered an athlete. Maybe poor mans Owen Craigie a good comp for the old school fans out there
- looked super hard to tackle at reserve grade level

When I watch ep 3 will report on progress

Correct

Manu getting 1 week, Baker, MCK and Walker fines

I was all over getting him - until I saw his hair.
