08 :: R1 Sun :: Tigers 24 Dragons 16 @ SFS

[God-King Dean]

Judging by what I saw in the Charity Shield, I'm fairly confident.

Won't surprised either way in round 1 though.

Just glad footy is back.

 

[JAMES BOND]

Tigers will probably just get home unless GAZ can tear the Tigers apart.

CRICKET UPDATE

SA 1st innings 128 all out
NSW 1st innings 5/290, Haddin 113, Thornley 83*

This RL game is all but moved up to the SFS now IMO.

DRAGONS GAME NOW AT SYDNEY FOOTBALL STADIUM

Wests Tigers will now play St George Illawarra Dragons at the Sydney Football Stadium on Sunday, March 16, at 3pm.

The match was originally scheduled for the historic Sydney Cricket Ground to mark the opening round of the NRL’s Centenary season but victory by NSW over South Australia today has secured the Blues a home final at the ground, resulting in the SCG Trust and Wests Tigers moving the game to the SFS.

Tickets for the blockbuster match between Wests Tigers and the Dragons are available through Ticketek.

whilst it is not in their patten from the last couple of season to do so, with brown's coaching career on the line i expect the dragons to perform well from the start of the season.

despite some characteristic mistakes there was impressive passages of play from the dragons in the charity shield. with the added depth in the pivots this season i expect to see a more directed attack.

personally i rate the tigers whilst most comentators have underated their ability comming into the 2008 season. when farrah was on his game last season i thought he was the most effective playmaker in the competition.

it's tight but i am leaning towards the dragons.

right, its sorted, back at the SFS.. thanks to Steven Katich, Barry Lee, Sam MacGill, Doug Thornley, Matthew Clarke and Daryll Bolinger.. whos 25+ fans will be happy they get to play at the SCG.

 

[Timmah]

You mean the cricket will be played at the Cricket Ground and the football at the Football Stadium?

 

[brooksy19]

get a sense of humour Timothy. Id much rather watch the game at the SFS, was speaking in jest.
