Tigers to play Roosters back into form.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I'm tipping the Tigers in this one.

We seem to play a lot of teams with a point to prove. And without Jake Friend at Leichardt on a short turnaround this will be tough.

Our season is on the line in this game. But Tigers by 2.

We have a pretty impressive record against them though, Tommy.
I think we'll just win in a game where we'll be left wondering if the Roosters are ever going to take this season seriously

 

[Vic Mackey]

Tigers couldn't beat most u/20s sides ATM

Roosters always miraculously become the most disciplined team in the comp against us

 

[Chook]

Roosters V Club in Crisis.:crazy:

When will it end!

Us by 10.

Chook.

 

[gronkathon]

At least the Orange Grove will drown my sorrows post game

 

[Rhyno]

Roosters by 22

 

[kia ora storm]

Chooks by 28...

 

[Valheru]

So we finally beat a crap team yesterday and now we get to play an even worse team off the back of a 60 point flogging who are well and truly in crisis. Why us? Why can’t we just play good teams to ensure the players at least put in?

Tigers by 20.

Simona out with injury. Patterson in the centres

Jennings will bag half a dozen. For god sake Wright got a hat trick on Saturday.

 

[JT_]

Tigers by plenty

 

[Rooster Cogburn.]

If the Roosters don't win this by at least 20 they can forget about winning the premiership.

 

[Dufmack]

That tigers backline is a laugh, if the roosters don't destroy it it's an embarrassment.

I tend to agree BFO. To my mind they have looked fragile all year with odd crisp performance thrown in to remind us of what they are capable when they're on. They look scared of their own shadows TBH.

It's got me stuffed how we are in the 8 let alone the 4 given what has been dished up this year. Too many lacklustre performances for mine, coupled with a few spectacular bumbling losses thrown in for good measure.

They need to win and win convincingly, starting on Sat. Time is fast running out for them to get their mojo back.

That said, Easts by 20 something. (Here's hoping anyway)

 

[Vic Mackey]

Roosters 14 remind me of tigers 11

We stumbled and bumbled our way through the season looking bog ordinary and somehow landed in 4th. Winning games through sheer talent alone but not putting in or doing the little things right.

We Put in a great performance in week 1 of the finals then went back to how we'd played th year in week 2 and had our pants pulled down by the warriors

It never ends

 

[Vic Mackey]

Jy Hitchcox replacing Lulia on the wing. Been impressive in nsw cup for a few years now. Might be a bit small for first grade but deserves his chance.

 

[Rhyno]

Need a 40/20 to be kicked
