I think I've tipped every week that we are going to win by 13+ and it was actually right last week. It'll be interesting how we perform this week.

This week is actually a good game to see how we are tracking.
Not that it matters, we will have virtually a completely new team this week.

But will be interesting.

Edit: oh wait we play the Roosters aswell

Penrith won't gift us the possession the Schoolies did.

I think they will get us but if we show commitment in defence like we did against GC I will be very happy.

I can feel an upset coming. Panthers have their season on the line and Tigers have nothing but pride to play for.

I can see Panthers coming into this thinking they will have an easy win, then when they are trailing by 6 they just completely freak out and lose the match in a thriller.

Tigers by 2

I hope we get Suli back this week as I'm quite confident we can throw a spanner into the works re Penrith endeavour to qualify for the 8!

So no Suli.
Why does Littlejohn make the 17? Backup 9, 6 or 7 I assume.

I would have thought an extra forward is what is needed against the Panther forwards,

Anyonne of the 18, Josh Aloiai, 19 JJ Felise, & 21 Ava Seumanufagai would have been in my reserves.

MM basically played the whole games against the Titans so he has it in him.

IC should have Ava or another big unit on the bench and if something happens to MM slot Taylor in there as an emergency backup.

Truth is we should be trying to get MM up to 80 minutes this year when there is no pressure on results. If MM can go 80 on a regular basis run four big guys on the bench next year. MM isn't the greatest 9 going round but he plays tough and I think he fits the style we will be looking for next year.

Surely no littlejohn & Ava comes on. Wonder why Ava is so out of favour these days?

I have a feeling littlejohn was there last week just incase mm couldn't handle the 80 but I think we all know he can now

I'd be happy with any of Felise, Aloiai, Ava over lj. Surely common sense prevails

I wonder how Ava's attitude has been around the club. I have no idea but given he is leaving and has basically been dumped now I would image pretty shit. I guess Woods and Teddy are too important to the team but if so it is good to see IC making an example

Maybe the fun guy is on the outer because hes leaving and IC is looking towards 2018..
Hard to drop any forwards from last week though.
Fun guy will be in the final 17 i think...

Tbh even an unmotivated fun guy is better than a 5 min littlejohn, but ya I get the point

I was hoping to see Suli there. I suppose you can err on the side of caution as the season is over but Suli makes a difference to the team.

He's been expected to be back the last 3 weeks or so. I suppose his particular injury is a gamble though
