Can the Tigers win the comp?

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

This years competition has been weird af. Who would have though that Dragons, Warriors, Penrith and Tigers would have been at the top of the table 6 weeks in while the Eels and Cowboys are right at the bottom and Melbourne momentarily dropped out of the 8 - you never know with this game and that's beauty of it.

 

[DOGS AND EELS!!!]

i really want one of the current Top 4 teams to win, hopefully they can keep it up till the end and one of them can grab the prize in the end.

They have the nice mix of grit and toughness with flare in attack. But do they have enough starch to win the big one at the end?

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

I'd just like to say;

Brooks - 5/6.
Tedesco, Woods, Moses - 5/18.

Don't think we can win it all, although stranger things have happened.

Anywhere in the 8 will do me.

Unrelated to this topic but how come the Tigers don’t play in Queensland once all year

That is a weird quirk of the draw.

I'd like to think it's because everyone feels sorry for them so wants them to win if their own team don't

They get good ratings

On the reverse side all the 'bad guy' teams are having a bad time

Sports entertainment imo

They havent got the class and speed in the outside backs to win the comp..

I think they will make the 8, but I can see them finding it hard to score points in the semis...

Speed means nothing

2011 manly was slower than aids

I'd say in previous years, how come we don't ever seem to get a home game against Brisbane, so I guess it's evened out this year.

The NRL asked us to take a home game to Auckland for the double header, could have been a trade off?

Best defence in the comp thus far. Keep that up and they'll be there when it matters.

I would have thought tigers volunteered for that. Every season they seek to play home games at about 10 different grounds

What happened in 2013 and earlier? Your little sequence came undone.

And what Sydney team will win in 2020 - the Ultimo Urethras?

This season seems very reminiscent to 2005 and 1992. Both of those seasons all the teams favoured to win the competition under performed massively and failed to make an impact.

The Tigers in the first half yesterday looked superb everything they did was precise and with speed. If they are able to maintain that then they can definitely win the competition.

 

[wittyfan]

Only 1 loss so far and off of a bullshit call.. Could they go all the way?

Not with their current squad. It's a pretty ordinary comp however the Dragons should start planning to make 2018 Premiers T-shirts.

1992 > 13 years later > 2005 > 13 years later > 2018

You might be onto something...

Tigers shouldn't lose players come SOO. This could be a telling factor. Saints could lose 3-4.
