[The unknown]

Tigers v Eels games are usually quality games despite where we sit on the ladder. Expecting this to be no different

Eels no Ferguson is a huge help for us. The meters he runs is like the equivalent of a rampaging Taumololo but in the backline instead

Think it will be close for 60 mins then we will run away with it 28-14 or something in the end with our superior fitness

 

[Vic Mackey]

Ferguson’s their best player. I know they scored 0 today but theyve used the ball well this year and I expect we’ll need to score a few tries to beat them. I’ll back us though. 20-14 to the good guys.

 

[Tigerm]

Us by 12, Mbye MoM with two tries.

 

[benched tiger]

Parra seemed flat yesterday which the WT were guilty of against the Dogs when we were expected to win,expect the eels to be up for the challenge next weekend and hope our blokes are up for it also.

 

[Trollhammaren]

What's our record like at debut fixtures at new venues?

Should be a good game. I'm tipping us.

 

[The Charlatan]

I see Parra getting past us. I reckon they'll get us by 6-8 points.

 

[super_coach]

Never ever confident when we play anyone and this game is no different. The long turn around can be your friend or your enemy. On paper it should be a cracker with us getting up in a close one...but I think Parra on the rebound might just get the bacon with about 80% crowd support getting them over the line

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Get near their line and run Fonua at Bitch Poses - guaranteed try.

 

[Das Hassler]

Who knows..but losing Ferguson is about 80% of losing Radradra for them...the loss is axis shifting

 

[The unknown]

Seriously them losing Ferguson is like half their attack gone. Just defend how we did last week and we win easy imo

 

[cerberus]

I hate playing them. And at a new stadium opening . I expect maximum stooge effort by the refs

 

[BrotherJim05]

as long as Bitch Poses has a shocker and gets bowled over by one of our forwards I'll be happy

 

[Rhyno]

Parra had their minds on this match opening their new stadium they will be a totally different team this week

Mitchell Moses to have a career best game and and get MOTM

 

[Fordy20]

We saw how stunted the Eels attack is without Dylan Brown. The Raiders were able to keep them scoreless. Their forward pack leader Nathan Brown is still out and without Ferguson they will struggle with making metres. Although I had some concerns about our attack, we've only had one game where we haven't scored twenty points. If we defend as well as the Raiders, then twenty points should be more than enough to win.

Yeah what ever makes you sleep at night, I bet Mitchell Moses will lose the game for parra, he will try to hard and stuff up, brooks will have a blinder if not he should be dropped for marshal the week after, tigers forwards will win the battle, tigers by 18 points

 

[benched tiger]

Mitch Moses is a threat to Parra’s defence .

 

[Vic Mackey]

Moses has actually been pretty good this year. Test will be how he performs when they have a few losses in a row, which will happen at some point and hopefully start this week.

 

[Tiger05]

There are no real dud teams in the comp. Parra will be fired up. We just need to play good footy though and we are a big chance of winning.

The problem is if we turn up like we did against Penrith.

 

[super_coach]

Except for last week Parra have been really good. Very physical and played with plenty of depth. They will be a very hard nut to crack
