Match Discussion: Round 13 vs North Qld @ Queensland Country Bank Stadium, Townsville / Wulgurukaba

[Nutz]

I just have this dreadful feeling that this week will be back to our regular scheduled programming with Tigers getting absolutely toweled up. I hope I'm wrong

Arghh Jimbo, we need you mate. Watch the game with a different shirt, ditch the shoes and go barefooted, wear a singlet, don a tiger beanie, have a scotch instead of a beer, close the doors and get into it!

Time to start the charge, we got this, us by 6, with Luai MoM.
One thing, they won't have a clue what Mason will do, but I hope we do.

I like Hunt starting because in that first 10 minutes we tend to go to sleep. If Hunt can inject some agro and May doing his bit then we should get off to a good start.
Hunt then comes on in the last 15 minutes and rips in.
I know he's unfit but he's slowly getting there. Another 2 years and he might be fit as a fiddle.

I'm so confident that Mason will score, even from his position. He can play direct and can step so if we keep shifting to the wings look for him to change direction and score near the posts....I can see it now.
May MoM and Turuva to score a double.
AD 100% goal kicking
Tigers 36 - 14

Sam Fainu is listed as starting, it's been said he is suspect to play, so who steps in if that is the fact.
For me: His brother comes in and Hope to the bench?

 

[Tiger Ted]

Never heard of Jason, so hopefully it provides us with opportunities.

It’s Jaxson Paulo who has played with souths manly & rorters

 

[Tigerm]

Who's going to smash Bateman?

Sukkar comes in.

I wouldn't be surprised. We're basically having to re-start the season all over again. And rather than everyone being fresh we're carrying injuries we can't afford.

 

[Tigerm]

Looks like we are playing against 14 again. Hahaha

Samuela was training with the main group yesterday but knee heavily strapped. He's a guy we've played injured beofre and has come off early. Surely youd start Sukkar and bring Kit onto the bench

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

If you like having a bet, an anytime try scorer on Bateman could come up trumps.

It is a commandment that he'll have a blinder after all

You'd probably get good odds.

Jeremiah Nanai, Reuben Cotter, Tom Dearden and Reece Robson were cleared of major injury and are expected to face Wests Tigers

Bugger

 

[TheDefinitionOfMadness]

They'll still be feeling it 4 days later though. You never know.........

 

[Perth Tiger]

Nanai was huge for Qld, probably one of our best. I would be running angles at him all day because I reckon he will struggle to back that defensive performance up so quickly

Latu and Sam are training. There is one player I can't place, it's the 5th one down.

Hopefully solved.

Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall has “noticed a real lift in energy” among his playing group as the team looks to put the Lachlan Galvin saga behind them this week against the Cowboys.
