[Eddie.]

Souths would walk it with Burgess, Taylor and their fringe forwards all available. I think they have played better footy this season for longer periods then the Tigers. They have the team to trouble them as well with their size up front. As seen with the 40 point demolition at the SCG earlier this year. Tigers should be primed for revenge but have been pretty flat all season, relying on the bounce of the ball to get them home.

I think the luck runs out this week if they play at the same level. Souths were woeful last week though so who knows. Souths by 6.

 

[Bumble]

An absolute must win for us. Hopefully Burgess gets off but I don't see it.

Luke will have another week of rehab under his belt, Sandow has been decent. Sutton is the key to this one.

 

[Gaba]

sheens game plans could get the tigers home

 

[CMUX]

Souths to win, i am still not convinced about the tigers, have had a user friendly draw lately and have not played well in most of their wins.

Souths will be too desperate i think. Not necessarily a bad thing for the tigers, might wake them up for the rest of the year.

 

[Jason Maher]

On form, ladder positions notwithstanding, this is a cripple fight. Hopefully the Bunnies cna get up. Unlike most Saints fans I don't hate them, and I'd actually like to see them make the 8 (in place of the donkeys preferably).

 

[Mr_Raditch]

It looks like Burgess will miss this one, cant see him getting off at the judiciary. That tips me in favour of the Tigers, not with much confidence though. If Taylor & Burgess were playing I would be putting the house on souths. Hopefully McKinnon is back & he can clean up the loose balls, our wingers sure as hell cant catch them.

I quite like Souths too, live in the area and have various extended family members who support them. However this year I have just gone off them due to the way they talk themselves up in the media pre and during season.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

If we can't win this with all the absentees Souffs have then we may as well throw in the towel.

If the players aren't fired up for this one given what occurred in the last Souffs game...tben something is seriously wrong with them.

Tigers v Souths & Penrith v St George would have been the ultimate double header of cripple fights (based purely on current form).

 

[Timmah]

Dragons are cripples based on current form? :lol:

That's quite funny.

 

[TV Ted Ellery]

Dragons are cripples based on current form? :lol:

That's quite funny.

Notwithstanding that the Tigers have won 8 of their last 10 the original poster deemed the Tigers to be 'crippled'. It's apparent that the Tigers, like the Dragons, have been winning ugly and accordingly, if one warrants the title, so does the other.

 

[gronkathon]

I am not conident of the Tigers winning.

It's Tuesday, otherwise known as Sheensanigans Day. Anything can and will happen. Expect the return of Fitzhenry and maybe no props on the bench this week

 

[yobbo84]

Our unavailable pack:

8. Luke Stuart
9. Beau Falloon
10. Scott Geddes
11. Sam Burgess
12. Dave Taylor
13. Michael Crocker

Ouch.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Wah wahwah

we've got our first choice halfback out who has played 9 games for 9 wins and the worlds best winger out.

Tigers hve used the second most players this year due to injuries. you have your full strength back line, hooker and captain playing. Really you have 3 of your starting 13 out and one of them is through no ones fault but his own.

It's a long season if souffs were stupid enough to spend big money on a few crap players and leaving none for depth then go cry to the admin.

You just better hope our play maker and captain punch on in the change rooms pre game again so you might have a chance.

Tigers by 30.

Theres no point talking sense to idiots lol

Remember your predication last game dick? tigers feeder side would put 30 on us? :lol:

Now we have $2mil worth of forwards sitting on the sidelines, you guys might have a chance :sarcasm:

 

[Different kind of Rabbit]

This game is a tale of two 5/8's imo. Benji turns up, Tigers will win. Sutton turns up, Souths will win. Both are due for a big game. Sutton couldn't possibly play any worse than he did last week.... Surely.

 

[morri (cWo)]

How J.Robinson got a gig after last week is beyond me
