Tigers will steam on them, 13+ is a monty

Bugger.

Just bought 7x tickets and PAX is at 14,825. Never certain how reliable that number is though, but hopefully there will be a 40k+ crowd.

The double-barreled prediction confuses me.

Does this mean the Tigers will lose? Or does it mean they won't win by 13+ ???

Need clarification

The ultimate gameplan:

1. Kick field goal
2. Throw ball dead in goal, repeat as necessary
3. ?????
4 PROFIT!

:lol: Nice

Hopefully this means something come Friday...

Dragons won last 6 at ANZ Stadium
Tigers lost last 4 at ANZ Stadium

Hopefully this means something come Friday:

Jamie Soward is a spastic

Tigers due for a loss IMO. Better now than next week.

 

[Eelectrica]

Dragons by 2.

 

[MacDougall]

ceagle, did you watch Friday night? Dragons' defence v Panthers reminded me very much of 2010. They'll be there or abouts. Especially with how ordinary the Tigers' defence has been.

Until the Sharks game the Tigers hadn't conceded more than 12 points in friggin' ages.

Edit: Beaten and wrong, Panthers scored 18. Sorry y'all. I'll go back to my cave now.

 

[The Gambler]

Tigers by 18.

 

[Spank]

I doubt Utai will get a run which is our weakest link, id say Lote & Beau on the wings... long as Lawrence plays i think Tigers by 8

 

[Sean18]

This will be a tight game but i think the Dragons will win by 2.

 

[matrightyeh]

going with the tigers this week think they could get up

 

[Jono1987]

Best match of the first round. Expecting another close game that is decided in the final 10 minutes. The key for mine is to not fall behind early against the Tigers and get the match into a grind. Tigers are underrated in their grinding ability but I'm confident we'll get up if the game develops as such.

Saints 19
Tigers 18

 

[Bazzi]

Dragons 13 -12 Tigers

PAX posted in the Dragons forum as of 8.30pm tonight was just over 18,000. Read into that what you will, not certain PAX numbers are a great guide.

These 2 teams are turning into the powerhouses of Sydney football. Whilst it is not in the sense of the word a local derby thesr clubs are building a brilliant rivalry that is ruling Sydney football right now. Huge supporter bases, huge tradition with 4 clubs involved in Balmain/Wests v Saints/Illawarra. Their clashes in 2005 and 2010 were epics. THis seasons regular season game was another belter.I think the contrast in styles is another great factor that adds to this contest.

I have no idea who will win this week. What I am certain of is that it will decidd by less then a try and decided in the last 10 minutes. I have also got a funny feeling that whatever happens these 2 could be going head to head in th first week of October. The game at the SFS earlier this season had that smell about it, that it was the first of 3.

Just a gut feel. However I reckon the loser survives the chop and the 2 meet again on the big day.
