| Having watched a fair bit of West Tigers over the last few years Tim Sheens and his coaching staff have them playing a style of rugby that could be described as vibrant, uncoventional and unpredictable. With PG now at the helm of the black and whites do we have the quality right now to adopt this Wests philosophy and pull it off or are we going in over our heads.
Just interest in peoples thoughts as I'm sat on the fence with this one if he and the players pull it off we're in for some long overdue entertainment. If not it could be a disaster of peter walsh preportions.

| It's a great ambition but I'm not sure you have the halves to pull it off. Looking at your team from the outside I would say you are stronger in the forwards.
Wests have Rangi Chase running the show who naturally has the flair and exuberance needed.

Some idiot will no doubt point it out, so it may as well be me - Benji Marshall.
Although Cas Tigers may be a more realistic aspiration than Wests Tigers. I'm already fecking off, don't throw things!

| The main thing I think we will see us taking from Wests is a ton of scrum plays and working the short side by over loading it.
I actually thought last year we tried to play some expansive stuff but the problem was as soon as it went wrong we went away from it and back to the boring safe stuff. Its why when we clicked last year we ran up some points but on the other hand when stuff went wrong we tried to keep it tight and became predictable and sides ran away from us in second halfs.

Gentle also added the caveat that although we didn't have Benji, our halves were training the same way.

Yeah, haven't you heard Rangi Chase and Benji Marshall in shock swap deal?
Ah well, they're both from New Zealand anyway.

| agree with previous comment, would rather us lose playing exiting, unpredictable rugby then lose doing the same boring thing week in week out.

| We never played boring rugby last season!! we were pretty expansive the trouble was it was mainly due to Westy's off the cuff stuff as we were short in the h/backs. Hopefully now we have h/backs in place we will step up another notch.

I sort of agree but it was short bursts against some poor teams. Altough we have quite a few new faces I worry wether we have sufficient quality across the park that can meet AP and the fans expectations for the new season. Its alright saying id rather loose playing entertaining stuff but wether people will still be saying that 10 games in is another question and I suspect not.
Bring on Sunday and it will give us a better idea.
