Official Teig Wilton

Let's say the Titans didn't put all that coin on Fifita and instead spread it around a few positions going for a more 'balanced' team. Would they really be going much better? Doubt it

Probably not but if they could have got him (if he had truly wanted to sign there and not just cash in) and he signed for say, 900k, it makes potentially a huge difference.
Then someone else can be a 400k player instead of a 100k player and is a legit starter or very good bench player instead of a nobody.
Not only is Fifita under less scrutiny then due to less pay but he is also in a better team.

Of course there is the old and not unreasonable theory to take what you can get when you can get it because it's a short career.

Anyway after all that digression, let's talk about Tieg and how good he has been this season.

Wade has been back for two games now and I know he is still feeling his way back but Tieg has held his spot and in my opinion he deserves to keep holding his spot.

I haven't seen the stats and haven't really noticed but does he play 80 mins?

Yeah I can't see how we can drop Teeg back to the bench really, his form is too good.

The onus is on Wade to get back to his best and force the issue, until then Teig stays in the starting 13.

He’s been playing 80 mins except for last week when Graham came on.

He’s our best back rower and I think we will be going backwards to take his starting spot away or even play him less minutes.

His tries against the Raiders, Warriors and Eels came at crucial times and are examples of what he can come up with and why we need him out there for 80 mins when the games are on the line.

Typically - he averages 74 mins per game
Nikora averages 77
15th and 7th in NRL for average minutes for second rowers

That's pretty good, those stats would suggest he plays 80 minutes most games.

Yeah I know Tigers both guys were off a bit, just had a look and Nikora for 20 Teig for 15, and Broncos Teig gave minutes to Wade too.
Almost every other week both would have played 80

Two young powerful 80 minute second rowers. Sign them both long term

 

[HaroldBishop]

Don't know what the answer is but this guy is too good for the bench.

 

[MrDravid]

I know what the answer is... he's better then Wade at present

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

Has to start.

 

[Gumby]

Agreed

 

[Vichyssoise]

Should start ahead of Graham. Things looked cramped on the left when Wade was playing there.

 

[egg]

Yep , Miller , Wade and 2 Boppers bench.

 

[apezza]

Agree. Wade can replace McInnes if he needs a spell.

 

[jocktheshark]

This guy needs to be starting , we are a better unit when he does , there is a place for loyalty but it is professional sport .

Where would you play him ?

SUPER DYNAMIC fresh off the bench .
And fresh cover IF a back goes down .

Where would you play him? Where do you think mate? He's infinitely better than Wade on an edge.

**** , wrong thread .
FIRST time offender

Thought I was replying on the Miller thread

Wont happen again

 

[Western Sharkie]

Was supposed to be replying to another poster on Miller thread

Wont happen again

That’s a 2 week suspension for first time offender egg.

We might let you off with a fine.
A slab delivered to each active member seems like a fair punishment that fits the crime.

We are the MRC……aren’t we???
