Official Teig Wilton

[apezza]

I could see a world where Sifa starts and Teig comes on for him to have a stint on the sideline and then comes back on in the middle somewhere.
Or the other way round where Teig starts and Sifa comes off the bench into the middle, then after a bit Teig gets a rest and Sifa moves onto the edge.

This way we can get more minutes into him in both positions.

I'm not sure mate if Teig would be effective off the bench. Not with all the big boppers we have. I think he's either playing 80 or missing out.

Jessie will be pushing for a bench spot too in the next few weeks.

It's a good sign for the club with so many players pushing for spots where if you miss a few weeks for whatever reason you may find it hard to slip straight back in.

Wilton has been cruising along most of the year without doing anything really spectacular. Talakai is the much better option imo.

Could def see Sifa hold next week and Teig return after bye

I think that’s a guarantee, same for Uele. They’ll rest him that extra week with the bye

I wouldn’t be against resting Tommy and giving JC a game against the Dolphins. Gives Tommy a two week break and think we need to remind ourselves he’s only played 30 games. Rather him not burn out and feels like a good opportunity.

JC might need more games, so If not this bye then next perhaps

Anyone hear how long this bloke will be sidelined for?

1-4 weeks.

Whatever it is it's not long enough

Seriously, it will be another pleasant selection headache for Fitz when Tieg returns. We’ve pretty much got 3 80 minute backrowers so who do you drop to the bench. Ridiculous to say but maybe Brit will be the one under the most pressure.

I‘ve heard others say put Sifa back to centre for Iro but I don’t think that’s the way to go either.

Hard to say what Fitz will do. I think when he’s fit he may bring him back through the bench but after that I think it will be Sifa back to the bench. If he does do this though, he’s got to get more minutes.

The way Sifa"a playing I'm inclined to agree!

Unwavering saltiness it

Wilton can bring impact off the bench, has speed, is mobile, can put on hits, plays with intensity, just give him work in the middle to speed up the ruck, we dont need a bench of all big boppers, he can cover second row and centre also if needed.

He can bring the oranges to training.

Teig is a potential future captain of the sharks and NSW. It would be dumb to drop him or limit his development.

Hmmmm, I don’t see him in a NSW jumper any time soon, solid player but NSW, I think not

 

[egg]

Lost absolutely nothing with Sifa .
If I'm the opposition , I know who I would prefer NOT have to face on that left edge

 

[Western Sharkie]

Joey seems to certainly thinks so.

Soooooo you are probably right then.

Do they still have that NSW residents team? If so that's the closest this flop will ever get to a NSW jersey

That’s a massive call

If the choice is Sifa 30 minutes off the bench or starting, I'm probably leaning towards him starting.

My ideal solution would be finding him more minutes in the middle though so Teig can be out there too. This way Sifa doesn't get found out on the edge, he can continue to demolish people, and we can maintain depth in that position. I'd wonder if Teig sticks around if he isn't in that role, and I think our 17 is better with them both in it.

You could potentially start Sifa there and bring Teig on after 20 or so if you wanted to get Sifa more time.

Potential rotation:

Starting - Toby, Kaufusi, Sifa, Brit, Cam.
20th minute - Teig on for Toby, Sifa shifts into the middle.
25th minute - BHU/Hunt on for Kaufusi.
30th minute - Williams on for Cam.

55th minute - BHU/Hunt on for opposite and Cam on for Sifa
65th minute - Kaufusi on for Williams
70th minute - Toby on for BHU/Hunt.

7/8 subs.
Teig - 60 minutes
Cam - 55 minutes
Sifa - 55 minutes
Kaufusi - 40 minutes
Williams - 35 minutes
Toby - 30 minutes
BHU/Hunt 30/15 minutes

A long way from perfect, and I'd probably want Cam on there a bit more, but just spitballing.

The way Sifa plays you'd like to see him rotated between starter and bench. He does get himself pretty banged up ( but you should see the other guys...)

Yea agree.
