[God-King Dean]

Tigers FTW

 

[ozbash]

cool, Steve Lyons, best ref in the comp.

Should be a close game, rubes 300th.

be good to see some of our juniors get a crack.

 

[Knights_Premiers]

I think this will either be a close Warriors win or the Tigers will run riot.

 

[wittyfan]

Rovelli is back at half for the Warriors.

Cleary's obviously is throwing the dice with the season sliding away.

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

Tigers currently leading 34-24 with 20 to go in Toyota Cup.

 

[Rovelli]

Would be an upset if the Warriors lost the TC, given their recent form.

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

34-34 with 9 to go.

 

[Rovelli]

Wow...hopefully FG is just as exciting as this one

 

[Sea Eagle Scuba]

35-34 Tigers - just over 4 to go.

 

[wittyfan]

With Ravs back it will be!

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Who, what where? Why? I mean WTF? Whos not playing?!

 

[Marshall_magic]

Tigers seal Toyota Cup with a try with 2 minutes left

 

[Rovelli]

Darn...we want 3rd place in TC!

 

[Marshall_magic]

Tigers score another with seconds remaining, what a game!

 

[African Monkey]

F/T Tigers 45-34.

 

[Rovelli]

I think this will either be a close Warriors win or the Tigers will run riot.

Yeah...these are the two outcomes I also see.

Warriors could try bash the Tigers in the forwards, but the Tigers' little men could have an absolute field day, leading to an easy win.

OR

Warriors lift for Wiki and his 300th and come away with an emotional win.

 

[joel caine number 1 fan]

Towney scored 3 tries 2 were length of the field tries

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong

but according to nrl.com

Rovelli is in @ 5/8 and Witt on the bench?!

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Yep i see the same, Tigers 30+ or a close Warriors win

That TC match was a beauty, and i have been really looking forward to the main one.

Rovelli confirmed to start and Witt to the bench. Witt should either start or not be there imo. Very strange call from Ivan
