[west4ever]

I think we will win 13+ as the NZ team used all the energy round 1, our attack will be better and score more points on the back of the warriors making a lot of errors, we will turn it up, after this we will beat the dogs and Penrith I can’t see us being beat, I think we can go on a run and win the comp like sharks did in 2016, if our defence is like that all season and attack improves no doubt it will, this is our year. After the game how right was I up the tigers

 

[Tigerm]

Us by 8, RF MoM.

 

[The Charlatan]

I'm unsure but I'll say us 1-12 as we're at home and the Dogs were so godawful they give no gauge on the Warriors form. I guess the same can be said for us due to the poor weather and Manly missing Walker and Tom Turbo.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Hopefully Mbye is back, will help our attack a lot if he is. I don’t give us a lot of hope here, Warriors have looked very slick in the trial v us and the Dogs. Let’s hope it’s a big crowd on sunday and we can cheer the guys home.

 

[Trollhammaren]

We'll probably give the Warriors a touch up then get pumped by the Dogs the week after lol.

 

[Das Hassler]

Just the game we need for rnd 2....win or lose so long as they take it up a notch and keep it at that level...i think our forwards will match them..the kicking game will have to be 100% smart.

 

[The unknown]

Warriors are seriously the most inconsistent team to ever play in the nrl. But I actually think they are specials this year without Shaun (one good game a month) Johnson this year.

Our key is to shut down their wingers (who are probably bigger than our forwards), if we can contain them then flip a coin. Cambo home ground advantage gives me some hope

 

[magpie_man]

Their outside backs will be the difference. Warriors 1-12.

 

[Tiger Ted]

The fact it’s in Sydney makes this a very winnable game against a team who r poor travellers & have a reputation for not turning up the week after a comprehensive victory.

 

[HyperActive1]

Me thinks Brooks is the key in this one. If his kicking game is on song and he tires those Kiwi forwards with smart kicks, we could be in with a chance. We are not known to back up a good win with another. Be interesting to see how they perform for Madge to make it back to back.Tigers by 12.

Mate you can forget about the trial game, warriors should of pumped us but we hung in there, if anything that trial game gives me confidence, look at knights vs sharks, sharks smashed knights in there trial game and knights win in rd 1, but I’m excited to see how we go, I do have a good record when going to the game and I’m going to this one.

More than the kicking game it will be the kick chase. Their forwards wont get tired if their back three can bring the ball back like they did last week.

 

[super_coach]

The Warriors are a different side with Blake Green running the show. I expect them to win through their outside backs, but it will not be a walk over. Wet track will bring the two teams together

 

[WT2K]

Starting side remains the same. Mbye added to 21 in place of Liddle.

 

[The unknown]

No surprises. I'm guessing Mbye will be a late inclusion with either Jennings or Fonua out to accommodate Thompson on the wing

 

[Tigerm]

1 Corey Thompson 2 Mahe Fonua 3 Paul Momirovski 4 Esan Marsters 5 Robert Jennings 6 Benji Marshall 7 Luke Brooks 8 Ben Matulino 9 Robbie Farah 10 Alex Twal 11 Ryan Matterson 12 Luke Garner 13 Elijah Taylor. Interchange: 14 Russell Packer 15 Thomas Mikale 16 Josh Aloiai 17 Michael Chee-Kam.

Reserves: 18 Moses Mbye 19 Josh Reynolds 20 Matt Eisenhuth 21 Chris McQueen

Unchanged starting side from last week?

 

[Old Time Tiger]

Reynolds, Eisenhuth & McQueen have to get a run in the reserves.

 

[Perth Tiger]

So Liddle hasn't been named in either squad, is he injured again?

 

[The Charlatan]

Apparently out for 4 weeks.

I hope Madge isn't risking Moses by bringing him back before 100% fit.
