Looks a strong side but I'd like to see Kirmond in there, he always looks like he's capable of breaking through the defence.

korkidas you must be having a laugh i've seen nothing from him yet to justify starting before jacko

Raleigh would be in before any of the back 3

In the league express on Monday Nathan Brown said that Fulton would provide cover at 6 "if needed". That to me implies he has largely been signed to play 13.

Korkidas is not starting prop IMO. Twice in two weeks now he's started at prop and done absolutely nothing. Why we gave this guy three years God only knows.

no kirmond??
mason or crabtree or jackson would start before korkidas anyday

raleigh would be first name on team sheet for me

aprt from that it looks fine

i would go for which ever team nathan brown picks

Korkidas? You having a laugh?

Despite what you may have been told, Fulton hasn't ever played at 6, and never will be a 6 in this lifetime.

Well B hodgson told me that L Fulton had played at 6 with him at Wests so i think i will believe him.

Oh and has for Korki starting,i dont think he would even be playing if Crabtree and Griff where playing .

Played there 4 times. For those games he scored 4 tries and Wests won 3 of the games.

Also the way Wests play means that he has tons of experience at 1st and 2nd receiver and organising plays.

So it would seem that he is a very capable ball handling 13 who can cover 6. which is exactly how NB described him.

HTH

You guys have a got a gem of player in Liam. West tigers fans( yes i am a huge fan) were not happy with the club letting such a good important player go esp as he has been through the junior rep program at the club.
Liam is a great clubman and a huge workrate. I thought this was his year at the Tigers until certain salary cap issues played there part in letting him go.
All the best for the season as you guys have had a great start and with Bumper Andrews training the team (played with him at balmain) and Browny at the helm, i reckon a top 4 spot is not out of the question.

Now you know why he only lasted one year at Cas - we were glad to get rid of him.

We have an excellent ball handling 13 who will give us high minutes and extra playing options.

Not a big fan of Korki, but he must tire the opposition when he runs it in.
