[Saxon]

Cripple fight. likely to finish 20-19.
Titans to get up after all the fuss about Des.

 

[Valheru]

Spoon bowl but tigers look way better. If they can't win this at Leichardt then they should cancel their season.

 

[Fangs]

What a treat this game is.

Leaning towards Titans. Plenty of dangerous forwards who will trample the Tigers if they have a dig.

26-21 to the Titans winning it late.

 

[chunk]

Looking forward to see how Taylan May goes and Doueihi at lock for the Tigers

Don't get Bird on the bench.

Titans have bigger, stronger side, Tigers might get steamrolled.

Please.

 

[Warrimoo3]

It’s time the blue Wiggle stepped up and bought the Tigers. Can you imagine the damage Dorothy the Dinosaur would do off the bench. And how could you stop Harold the Octopus from offloading. Impossible to wrap up 8 arms. They’d have to work out a way to stop Jeff from falling asleep on the bench though.

 

[Vic Mackey]

No idea what happened last week as wed been going alright despite not getting many wins. Titans have points in them and will no doubt test our edges. Id like to think we aim up at Leichhardt like we generally do.

Wests by 10, sorry in advance to the neutrals.

 

[Warrimoo3]

Coaches across all sporting landscapes like “The Art Of War” by Sun Tzu . So I’ve selected a quote that could pertain to Des:

“Because he fusses over his men as if they were his own beloved sons they will die by his side” “ Could refer to Des’ first stint at Manly

“If he is generous with them and yet they do not do as he tells them they will be like spoiled children who can be put to no good at all” Could refer to Des’ stint at the Titans.

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Probably will be a whacky yet exciting game

like VIC said I have no idea what happened last week because the feeling beforehand was we were doing ok, so this game will go either way
