[Tiger Ted]

Latrell will likely emulate Paps performance & single handedly demolish this rabble at a ground the rabble rarely win on.

His last SOO audition...the future's written

 

[TroyJax]

We’ll see what this group is made of.
They’ve big noted themselves pre season with the camp doco.
They’ve big noted themselves after some lucky wins
They’ve talked up culture change and one team…they enjoy bragging on Mays pathetic vlog and they stood behind Marshal when team Galvin had a crack.
Now that they’ve faced real adversity, let’s see if any of the above carries weight. Let’s see if it was all hot air. It was last year, and the year before and the year before that as well and the decade before that..

Yeah massive game in the scheme of things.

It will really paint a picture of were the Tigers are at.

Star back.
Pole out. This will test us.

 

[Tiger05]

Pole out isn't good for us. I'm worried about Hunt handling increased minutes.

 

[chunk]

Wow, all of sudden we look pretty weak. What's going on with that bench?

 

[Tiger Ted]

I’ve been dreading the day Hunt starts a game.He has very little stamina & hence has low output.We are in trouble

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

This has got 50 point flogging written all over it. There's no way we'll get more than 30 minutes out of Hunt. I can't believe he was picked to start. We would have been better off starting Seyfarth in the middle and playing Bird on the edge.

The bench is craptacular. No TDS? There's no way Api will be able to play 80. At least not well. What is Naden doing there? He can only cover wing or centre, so I can only assume that To'a is touch and go otherwise this makes no sense at all. And if To'a is 50/50 then name him on the extended bench and pick him on game day if he's right.

Marshall has lost the plot.

 

[Fordy20]

Can't see Api playing 80. Maybe we'll see Hope get a run in the top grade?

I feel sick all of a sudden.

Terrible hey. I've seen him play better at Cronulla but never more than 15min.

 

[Nutz]

There's no way he'll last 20mins even.

 

[Nutz]

I'd look at Faataape and To'a in the centres and AD ⅝. I'd drop LG right now. Probably have Twal and May props, Bird lock and if DaSilva is out bring Hope in who's been playing well.

 

[Tiger05]

I'd drop LG right now.

Why are we playing this guy ? He has been so shit all season starting in the trials. It's like Benji and the club started telling themselves stories and they ended up all in on a turd.

Your suggestions were all better than Benji's team. I wonder if Sullivan carves up Galvin this weekend.

Sully has been playing well.

I think Hope might get the jersey over Naden, with Bird being the utility.

 

[Nutz]

I think Hope might get the jersey over Naden, with Bird being the utility.

I hope so because Naden is just adding to the problem. Hope is a bundle of energy and will want to impress.
He gives me hope
Regarding Bird ...... His legs look so feeble. So un-athletic looking. How does this happen in professional sport. They get paid heaps.
Same with Hunt. He looks like he's going to have a heart attack after a few runs.
The only ones who seem to have athletic bodies are Twally and Mason.
Do these guys work on their physiques?
