[MacDougall]

Word on the street is that a totally out of left field signing will run out for the Tigers for this clash. I'm hearing rumours of Ray Cashmere?

 

[gronkathon]

Jeez but he is bog average with a measure of loping sh*theap thrown in.

Wouldn't suprise me though. Unless it comes out of a Magpies reserve grade jumper fat Mac the nepotistic spaz won't recognise it exists

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Cashmere? Really? That would be a huge slap in the face to Moors, who has been doing a reasonable job when he's played. Hasn't set the world on fire, but has quietly gone about his work when called up.

 

[madunit]

why would we sign cashmere, Sheens has made some dodgy purchases in the past but you could always find redeeming aspect for each signing.

But with cashmere, there just isn't one. We finally have a few quality props at the club and he buys Cashmere, even as a depth signing its a waste of money.

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Lui back is a positive although Ellis out is a massive blow. Going to need massive efforts from Gibbs, Galloway, Hino and whichever prop is named on the bench to make up for his lost yardage.

Nevertheless, I'm expecting a comfortable Tigers victory.

[Rovelli]

Key match for both sides - winner goes 3rd, whilst the loser could easily fall to the bottom of the top-eight. The Titans never seem to get much love outside of Skilled Park, and will fly under the radar heading into this match - the last time this happened, they stole a win at Brooky against Manly...though you'd back the Tigers at Campbelltown.

 

[Eelectrica]

I'm hoping the return of Scott Prince and the big match atmosphere will bring out the best in the Titans.

If both teams bring their 'A' game, it will be a great match. On the other hand both teams could just as easily bring their 'Z' game and it will be cover your eyes awefull.
Anyway I'm tipping the Titans because I know they're capable of a lot more than they've shown over the past few weeks.

Although the last time the Titans came off the bye they got crunched by the Roosters after being gifted a dream start...

 

[Sleep]

Cashmere was great for the Cowboys before he took off overseas. He'd be a good signing for the Tigers. Cayless has been a real nothing signing.

 

[Spot On]

why would we sign cashmere, Sheens has made some dodgy purchases in the past but you could always find redeeming aspect for each signing.

But with cashmere, there just isn't one. We finally have a few quality props at the club and he buys Cashmere, even as a depth signing its a waste of money.

They were far from quality against the Broncs last Friday. Galloways first two hit ups layed a wonderful platform to start the game. Smashed repeatedly and then continued to hit the ball up making sure he stopped at the line and went backwards most of the time. Tigers will be in deep sh*t if they lose Ellis and Heighington at the same time.

 

[Late Mail]

Don't expect Robert Lui to play in this one - same halves combination as last week....

 

[Eaglestar]

Titans are due for a big performance. With added injection of Scott Prince i'll pick Titans by 6

 

[Tipster]

Tigers haven't been all that impressive recently but still find ways to win, sign of a good team.

But think the Titans will get them tonight

 

[Timmah]

LATE MAIL

Wests Tigers halfback Robert Lui is unable to return from a knee injury so Benji Marshall will feed the scrums with Chris Lawrence at five-eighth, against Gold Coast. Mitch Brown will move into the back line. Titans co-captain Scott Prince is almost certain to make his return from a hamstring injury.

[Vic Mackey]

im actually tipping the titans in this one, have a bad feeling about it...

 

[lomz1]

Wests Tigers by 16

 

[Mr Saab]

Titans by 6. Tigers were not impressive vs an understrength Broncos team....and with no Ellis it will hamper them

 

[user_nat]

Good start for the Titans.
