Tigers.

 

[Tom Shines]

When are you getting to the City?

 

[Tom Shines]

And for farks sake, Entrance Tigers' own Shayne Hayne is the ref, and 40 year old Virgin Steve Carell on the sidelines...

Going to be a long, long game. Hopefully the Tigers can get over this.

 

[brooksy19]

Wheelsy mate, the earliest I can get to Central by train is 6.09pm, I might drive yet, but It will be a bitch getting into Balmain at that hr. Train it is. Meet at Hungry Jacks at 6.10pm.

 

[Tom Shines]

Cool. I finish uni at 3 and should be there by 5. I'll get started on the beers then.

 

[Rovelli]

Bold Prediction: Whoever loses this game WON'T make the playoffs.

 

[Tom Shines]

So bold you even put it in Bold?

And I could agree with that, although the Tigers do have a more favourable draw.

 

[Timmah]

I hope the Tigers win. I like being higher on the ladder.

Almost gameday :crazy:

 

[brooksy19]

Game Day bitches. Bring it on.

 

[Timmah]

It's on.

Go Tigers.

 

[Dutchy]

Tigers 13+...my pocket it relying on it

 

[Tipster]

Monday night at leichhardt Oval...atmosphere is going to be electric. Looking forward to seeing this one.

Cowboys to keep it close in the first half before the Tigers piss all over them at the back end of the game.

 

[smeghead]

Payten is a massive loss defensively and that hurts us alot although Gibbs's ruck defence will contribute to nullifying this loss.

More importantly the return of Hodgo (yes Benji is also a welcome return but not as big in my book) Finally someone who will follow the ball carriers and give options in that aspect of our attack. If Hodgo is on song he will make Morris's game much better.

Have not been this pumped for a game in quite a while. The return of 2 stars, Weeknight football back at Leichhardt Oval, paying tribute to the late, great Laurie Nicholls. Should be a cracker

 

[CowMan]

Cows by 4

 

[Mr Saab]

Thurston is not 100%.
Tigers @ Leichhardt by 16

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Robbie Farah to have a huge game back at Hooker.

Tigers by 12 and EA's missus with $500 more than she had yesterday.

 

[lockyno1]

Tigers should win this, and win comfortably as well.

 

[Ziggy the God]

Tigers by 14, buoyed by Benji and Hodgo returning and too strong at Leichhardt.
