As I suspected. One week we'll look like chumps, the next week world beaters. Although I do maintain we would've won last week if Fulton had not been injured, last week's performance was inexcusable however this week Tedesco and Brooks ran riot. Was so gun to watch. Tedesco, Moses, Brooks and Farah spine with that prop rotation, backline and Siro. :fap:
Simona back in next week? Gotta feel for Lawrence but they're better off for the switch imo. Tedesco has been ridiculously good in the first two games. Dragons definitely showed the way last week forcing Brooks to make 26 attempted tackles where as he was only required to make 7 today, Titans really didn't apply any pressure on the Tigers.
That's ma boy Teddy. He was always capable he just needed a good pre season behind him. Watch the kid soar.
Tedesco's gotta be close to the fastest if not the fastest player in the comp. Don't think I've seen someone with acceleration that quick in the league in years.
Don't think there's any room for Koroibete in the team at full strength. Noafaluma is a fucken gun. Richards' kickoffs/dropouts/goal kicking is so good too
Richards has actually been quality. Finished well, safe under the high ball defensively, a threat under the high ball offensively and good bringing it out from our own area. Anasta needs to be replaced asap otherwise I'm pretty happy with the squad.
What about that drop out from Richards? 72m on the full with no wind assistance. Very impressive. In other news, my footy tipping is up to shit so far this year.
I've tipped 4/15. I'd have likely done much better just using a randomiser, and I'd probably be leading most comps if I'd tipped the exact opposite of what I thought for every game. Yet I'm up over $5,000 on NRL betting since the start of the season. The ability to correct tip results is so over-rated.
I still think Anasta would be much better than most of the Tigers second rowers. Getting paid more than he's worth and not the best selection at five-eighth but worthy of getting selected if he's on the books. Richards, as expected, is gun. Should be in contention for a NSW wing spot if he's keen to cut his ties with Ireland.
More importantly his great aunt and uncle sell a mean suit. Think I've bought three from their shop in my time. Gun stuff.
I know Lawrence has been shit since coming back from injury but surely you'd punt Lulia first. Bloke just screams Contract #25.
Simona's a left hand carry & a right arm fend though so I automatically just think of him exclusively as a left hand centre. They could switch Lawrence to the right but like you I reckon giving Richards a few games in the centres to see how he handles it wouldn't be a bad idea. Tbh I've actually dozed off during the 20 minutes either side of half time for both of the Tigers games this year, so I'm probably not the best person to be commenting on their team. Delayed Sunday arvo games ftl.
I've pretty much just repeatedly backed underdogs. Games a lot harder to pick at the moment than people are willing to admit so there's been value in the outsider for most games. I also won money on Quilan LTS Round 1 and Cooper first second half try R2.
