Well, at least the pressure of an undefeated season is gone, now we can relax

Will we serve up that crap again? Probably.

IF we can contain there backs we are a chance, but not easy, so them by 8
With LL MoM for us

 

[Vic Mackey]

As evidenced yesterday we dont have the strike or cohesion to match these top teams at the moment. I think it will be a similar scoreline, Easts likley by 3 tries or so.

Looking forward to seeing Doeuihi back, hopefully better ball control and a bit more fluency in attack.

 

[Perth Tiger]

Their forwards will be severely undermanned. If our forwards aim up again we should be able to restrict their meters which will make it difficult for them. We will just have to figure out a way to stop the ad lib breaks and trys.

Then we have to figure out how to score points which hopefully AD will help with

 

[Vozzy]

If we play as dumb against the Roosters as we did the raiders we may end up an early entry into the 50point thread. Manu/B.Morris with Tedasco on the inside of them makes me so worried. I can see a minimum of 3-4 tries that side especially if BJ loses the plot.

I know yesterday was disappointing but I don’t think this tigers team will leak 50 points like previous years

Am thinking a roosters close win but a much improved performance from yesterday.

 

[Das Hassler]

I'll be very surprised if Kapaoa isn't hooked before halftime...hope not but i fear he'll get shredded

 

[Tiger05]

We can win but it won't be easy.

 

[The Rosco]

It is wrong to take joy in others misery, but if the roosters keep putting lines through players because of injuries, concussion resting and suspensions . . . we will have a better chance.

 

[magpie_man]

We'll be a better side with Doueihi

 

[benched tiger]

I’m not that confident, the score may reflect a cricket score of 0/50 in the first session, as we have too many players that are virtually dog sh#t.eg Packer,Mbye,Garner,BJ,Brooks

 

[Pezz70]

This one is gonna hurt. 42-12 roosters

 

[Ron's_Mate]

Classic Wests Tigers scenario - if Suaalii is named to make his debut will we do the usual and welcome him to first grade by letting him score a couple of easy tries? It's happened before. I think it's one of the Wests Tigers Commandments. "Thou shalt make a player on debut look like an immortal"

Dylan Farrell rings a bell lol

We'll be a better side with Doueihi

100% we will

 

[BrotherJim05]

It's going to be a bloodbath. Roosters are a f**king phenomenal team. Even if we had our shit together we will still get flogged.

I see this game as a spanking for the performance yesterday

 

[WA Tiger]

I'll be very surprised if Kapaoa isn't hooked before halftime...hope not but i fear he'll get shredded

Kepas a bit of a sook..Too high to catch too low to catch ..I’m thinking with a couple of sneaky tries to Talau on the wing , take Mbye out of the equation, our forwards getting used to and liking being bully boys , more order and surprise in the backline we should be hopeful..
From my thoughts and reading posts My predictions ..Ins: Brooks , 2 hookers , Talau (wing), BJ ...Forwards first player picked Joey O, and then the other big boys ...the rest, no idea

Hopefully the inclement weather forecast saves us from copping a flogging.I’m also expecting AD to make a huge difference.I so hope we push the rorters for the entire 80 mins.

 

[Tigerm]

Good team, just think 3 forwards on the bench is needed?

1. Daine Laurie 2. David Nofoaluma 3. James Roberts 4. Joseph Leilua 5. Asu Kepaoa 6. Adam Doueihi 7. Luke Brooks 8. James Tamou 9. Jacob Liddle 10. Joe Ofahengaue 11. Luciano Leilua12. Luke Garner 13. Alex Twal
Interchange: 14. Moses Mbye 15. Thomas Mikaele 16. Stefano Utoikamanu 17. Tommy Talau 18. Russell Packer 19. Alex Seyfarth 20. Michael Chee-Kam 21. Jock Madden


All the hype about Suaalii being given an exemption and he is not even listed?

 

[Speedy Gonzales]

Either Mbye or Talau will drop off for a middle forward I’m guessing, sadly it will most likely be Talau although I wish it was mbye
